Hate Windows 10’s automatic updates? Microsoft might be killing them
by Guest Mike Wehner- 0 replies

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/6808dd12a717ecfdb0131fc9fde345f4.jpg One of the most rage-inducing parts of the Windows 10 experience is the system's obnoxious habit of automatically updating at the exact moment when you need to use your computer. Sure, you can set up a schedule for when your computer should update, but who has time for that nonsense? It seems like Microsoft finally got the hint that simply allowing users to temporarily pause its updating procedure would be a much more elegant solution, and according to a report from Winaero, a feature allowing updates to be paused is currently being tested.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/9c368a978c9aabc33e3e6a4032628bbf.jpg The smaller the inner components of a device, the lighter and thinner that device will become, not to mention that there would be more room for battery cells. To make even smaller gadgets, you’d need even thinner wires, which is exactly what researchers from the Sanford University and the US Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have achieved.

Those moment between when you hand over your ID or bag and when the security agent gives you the all-clear will make you second guess if you've actually followed all the rules. Thanks to advances in lie-detection, you might soon have to convince a computer that you're telling the truth, too, so get ready for a whole other level of paranoia. Continue reading...

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/8bf172dd20d17ecefb6c75600d9724ff.jpg Over the past few months, Tesla's Autopilot feature has been on the receiving end of a lot of criticism. And with good reason, the company's futuristic self-driving car technology has been involved in a number of accidents over the past year. While many of these incidents were the result of Tesla drivers over relying on the software and, in turn, engaging the feature in less than ideal driving situations, the perception that the software isn't yet ready for widespread use persists.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/1c6fbded752e32405a9db272e0ca7ca8.jpg You know how you watch the weather on the morning news and see that it’s going to be 75 degrees and sunny, but then you go to work and it ends up being 55 degrees with thunderstorms all day long? Yeah, well we hate that too. The weather is unpredictable and news stations really only cover major cities, which compounds matters if you live outside of a major city rather than in it. The Netatmo Weather Station is a potential solution. This nifty system consists of an indoor module and an outdoor module, giving you access to exact weather conditions outside and air quality inside. It even suppor…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/378f62f0c1f8b99db653f4453376cae8.jpg A few weeks back, a rumor emerged claiming that Apple was planning to release a new Jet White color option to its iPhone 7 lineup. While details were predictably hazy, many people believed that Apple might introduce a white-colored iPhone 7 model just in time for the busy holiday shopping season. With the Christmas shopping season now firmly behind us, the rumored white iPhone 7 is still nowhere to be seen.

The last time NASA performed a Moon landing was the Apollo 17 mission in 1972, and while the United States does have plans to return, it looks like China is going to double up — and potentially triple up — on its lunar excursions before the U.S. can make its return.
