In a blog post, Microsoft explains how Gallium is not concerned about hiding its tracks and its brazen in its attacks. For example, the group leverages cheap tools for their attacks. While Microsoft does not see the group as advanced, the company is concerned by how effective Gallium has been.

Users can work together either locally or online with pen, mouse, keyboard and touch support. Documents sync automatically to the loud for use on any PC at a later date and inviting another user is as easy as sharing a link. While collaborating, users see a little avatar to signify the work of another user, and color choices provide further clarity. According to Microsoft, the app has seen a surprising amount of use in its preview period, which has driven various improvements: “Since releasing a preview of the app in December, more than 200,000 customers have helped us fine tune the feature set and end-user experience,” said a spokesperson....

The change ends an era that began around a decade ago. However, it comes for a good reason. The retirement is the result of changes to Microsoft’s role-based training and certifications that began in 2018. It sees the new role system as better suited to the modern workplace, with a total of 34 new certifications now available. In the meantime, those who want an MCSA, MCSD, and MCSE can pass the exam before June 30....

The company has decided to focus its resources elsewhere, on more recent technologies, rather than propping up old experiences. For Windows XP, games will be unplayable by the end of the month, while Windows 7 will have until January 22, 2020. “We truly appreciate all the time and passion you’ve put into Microsoft Internet Games. This has been a great community,” said Microsoft in a statement. “However, the time has come for us, along with our hardware and software partners, to invest our resources towards more recent technologies so that we can continue to deliver great new experiences” The full list of unsupported games is as follows:...

Many programs claims to scan a PC for errors for free. However, many will then push PC users to upgrade at a cost to fix any errors that are found. Microsoft is empowering Windows Defender Antivirus to classify these programs and delete them. In a blog post, the company points out these types of “bullying” programs have been increasingly common. They feature coercive and deceiving messages to get unwitting users to upgrade through a paywall....

Minecraft Education can be a good resource for teachers. Through Classroom Mode teachers get the tools to create an in-game online space to interact with children. They can set tasks, give resources, chat, and see where all members are on the map. Microsoft says it will bring Minecraft Education to iOS (only iPad) during September. Basically, this means educators and students can access the platform from their iPad. Class resources, interaction, and other features will all be available....

You may remember that movie was originally scheduled to be released during May 2019. With that date fast approaching some substantial changes behind the scenes mean the project has been shelved. Director and co-writer Rob McElhenney told TheWrap that he has left the project and the release date is “not happening”. As McElhenney was writer and director, we guess the movie was moving ahead deep within his vision. Now the creative force has left the project, it leaves the Minecraft Movie in flux....

In terms of the Turing architecture, Nvidia describes it as “the greatest leap” since the CUDA GPU was revealed in 2006. The architecture is used in three new GPUS within the Quadro range of cards. As the world’s first ray tracing GPUs, the company says the architecture “fundamentally changes how computer graphics will be done, it’s a step change in realism.” The new range boasts Nvidia’s new RT (ray tracing) Cores, which literally trace the path of lights as it works with objects in a scene environment....

I’ve been using GeForce Now personally for around 8 months now. Though I own a gaming PC, it’s proved invaluable while traveling or at LAN parties. An Android client also means you can start it up on your phone, much like xCloud. It’s going to be extremely interesting to see how Microsoft’s xCloud and Google Stadia respond to this. Stadia currently costs £119 just to get on board with its premier edition, and you have to purchase titles again from its very limited library....

A ‘scene’ group known as CODEX has fully cracked Zoo Tycoon: Ultimate Animal Collection, a somewhat unpopular remaster of the classic. It’s unlikely many pirates will be excited about this game, but it could have ramifications for going forward. The game had five flavors of DRM, including MSStore, UWP, EAppX, Xbox Live, and Araxan. Araxan has similar properties to another popular DRM, Denovo. It makes use of Virtual Machines, which appear to significantly impact the performance of some games....

Specifically, Premium users now get uploading support for Power BI Desktop (.PBIX) files that are up to 10 GB in size. This is a 10x increase compared to what was previously available. It is common for Power BI datasets to be highly compressed, holding data volumes multiple times their size. The new increased file size support means Power BI Premium supports larger datasets more easily. Users will not have to change the process for managing files....

According to ZDNet, the digital assistant is moving to Experiences & Devices. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed the change, with Petri’s Brad Sams adding that Cortana will be “nested inside of Office”. Sams says the Office team has been pressuring AI head Harry Shum to move the assistant under its umbrella for some time. It’s clear that Microsoft is a little unclear about the future of its product, but it knows it wants to move away from the assistant idea....

This move may raise a few eyebrows because Beaumont has largely been a critic of cybersecurity vendors like Microsoft. Certainly, he has argued against the companies cyber security efforts in the past. Despite that criticism, Beaumont argues it is now time to “put m career where my mouth is”. He thinks the cybersecurity industry is in an equivalent stage as black and white television. Beaumont points to the ability of bad actors to bring down major organizations with relatively simple tools....
