What are mobile emulator farms? Mobile emulators make the lives of developers easier as they allow them to emulate, or mimic, smartphone or mobile device environments for testing purposes. It is a cost-effective way to test how features work across different devices (different makes and models, for example). A mobile emulator farm is essentially a grouping of these emulators that work in conjunction with each other. As you will soon read, the usefulness of mobile emulator farms can be used by the bad guys as well with devastating results....

Monster Trucks is an OK kids movie that lacks most of the substance of the classic 1980s Amblin productions it tries to emulate. Tripp (Lucas Till) is a high school student living in North Dakota. He spends his days dreaming of leaving his small hometown and working at the local junkyard owned by Mr. Weathers (Danny Glover), prioritizing fixing his truck over bettering his grades. After an accident at an oil drilling site lets loose three unknown creatures that lived below the surface, Tripp encounters one of them in the junkyard and they form a fast bond....

Microsoft offered users running Windows 7 or 8.1 the opportunity to upgrade for free within the first year of release. This guaranteed free upgrades to future revisions of Windows 10 throughout the life of the device. The OS focuses on software as a service, delivering updates and functionality as they become available; instead of the traditional three-year revisions, users were accustomed to in the past. Get Windows 10 App Finally Removed by Microsoft The GWX app became quite controversial during its availability....

Windows 10 19H1 Preview Build 18305 Microsoft continues to improve the Start menu and provide a more simplified layout. The new Start menu layout is for new devices, users, and clean installs. It includes a “simplified” layout with a “sleek one column design with reduced top-level tiles,” according to the post by Dona Sarkar and Brandon LeBlanc. Windows Sandbox is a welcome addition that allows you to run “sketchy” or “untrusted” apps in isolation – away from the rest of your system....

Windows 10 Redstone 5 Build 17754 Here is a look at the announced list of changes, improvements, and fixes for this latest Windows 10 Redstone 5 build: The build watermark at the lower right-hand corner of the desktop is no longer present in this build. This does not mean this is the final build as we are not done yet. We’re just now beginning the phase of checking in final code to prepare for the final release....

The Pax8 distributors have a good explainer about NCE on their site. Here’s Microsoft’s public-facing blog post about it. Earlier this fall, Microsoft officials said the NCE “per seat” model would be expanding to include Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365, Windows 365, and the Power Platform. NCE will be available to partners in January 2022 and phased in over time through mid-2022. Under the NCE terms, daily invoicing will become monthly, and a one-month subscription will be 20% more expensive than an annual subscription....

With the underlying concept popularized by Stadia and other game services, Mighty wants to stream an entire Chromium browser from the cloud. The effort emerged this week after two years of development with a tagline of “Make Chrome Faster.” Mighty wants to address the often-heard complaint that Chrome is slow. Over the past few releases, Google has been working to address this through various techniques and optimizations, but this new company’s approach is to stream “your browser from a powerful computer in the cloud....

Such is the life of a Windows Insider Beta guinea pig who signed up to the beta channel to get new features earlier than others, and may have forgotten they’re also there to assist Microsoft build Windows 11 how it sees fit. That includes having previously gained new features yanked, which is what Microsoft is doing to some Beta testers even though it might annoy them. So, as Microsoft readies Windows 11 version 22H2, Microsoft thinks it’s beneficial to split the Beta Channel into ‘haves’ and ‘have-nots’ for new features....

The new Surface Pro 9 is the culmination of Microsoft’s biggest hits and lessons learned, offering its Windows-on-Arm and Intel-based platforms within the same hardware design. Sure, that comes at the loss of the Surface Pro X branding, but customers – more than ever – are presented with a leveled playing field, no matter which of the two architectures they desire. That said, I’ve been testing the 12th Gen Intel model (i7, 16GB RAM, 256GB), and, while I absolutely love the hardware-software combo as much as I did with the Surface Pro 8, I can’t help but think that Microsoft is pulling its punches when it had the chance for a 2022 knockout....

This year, Microsoft promises to choose a side finally. A future Microsoft Word software update will default to single space after each period, while two spaces will be met with blue squiggly lines. In other words, two spacebar pushes will now be considered a mistake. Why Two Spaces? Back when IBM typewriters reigned, typists spaced twice between sentences to more clearly define an end of a sentence. Then, characters in a sentence used monospacing, which means they each took up the same amount of space on a page....

Microsoft officials said the current Partner Network is comprised of more than 400,000 global organizations around the world.

Microsoft has silently updated its Office apps to iOS today with some interesting features for iPad users. While Microsoft Word now supports mouse and trackpad interaction, the Excel app finally works with multi-window mode.

In making the move to television, Carney has surrounded himself with plenty of talent, both in front of and behind the camera. Though he writes and directs half of the series’ eight episodes, he’s joined by the likes of writer-director-actor Sharon Horgan (Catastrophe, Divorce), who delivers one of the biggest delights of the series, as well as actor-director Emmy Rossum (Shameless), and Tom Hall (Red Rock, Trivia). And though that will be of interest to some streaming the series when it drops on October 18, it’s the impressive cast that includes Academy Award-winner Anne Hathaway, as well as Tina Fey, John Slattery, Catherine Keener, Andy Garcia, Dev Patel, Olivia Cooke, Sofia Boutella, Gary Carr, Cristin Milioti, and recent Emmy winner Julia Garner that will likely be the big pull for most viewers....
