Windows 8.1 Update : les utilisateurs ont jusqu’au 10 juin pour l’installer

Technologie : Finalement, les utilisateurs de Windows 8.1 ont jusqu’au 10 juin – et non plus le 13 mai – pour installer l’Update 1 de l’OS, et jusqu’au 12 août pour les entreprises. Une mise à jour obligatoire pour continuer de recevoir les correctifs de sécurité.

Chez Microsoft, les mises à jour de sécurité peuvent s’arrêter pour les utilisateurs, et avant la fin du support. C’est notamment le cas pour les consommateurs dont les terminaux sont sous Windows 8.1 et qui n’effectueront pas la mise à jour en installant l’Update 1, disponible depuis le 8 avril.
Initialement, Microsoft leur avait donné jusqu’au 13 mai pour procéder à la mise à jour, sous peine de ne plus recevoir ensuite les correctifs de sécurité. Dans un billet de blog, l’éditeur annonce que finalement cette échéance est repoussée de 30 jours.
Pour les particuliers sous 8.1, Windows 8.1 Update doit donc désormais être installé au plus tard le 10 juin. « Nous sommes convaincus qu'au cours du prochain mois, la majorité des clients restants qui n'ont pas mis à jour leurs terminaux vers Windows 8.1 Update seront en mesure de le faire » assure Brandon LeBlanc de Microsoft.
Du côté des clients entreprise, aucun changement n’est à noter avec une échéance, pour déployer les mises à jour Windows 8.1 et Windows Server 2012 R2, toujours fixée au 12 août. Cette date limite avait été repoussée pour les clients migrant via WSUS, Intune et SCCM, ces derniers ayant reproché à l’éditeur de leur imposer une précipitation.

Samsung Level On Review

Samsung Level On Review Samsung is running on all cylinders in its new venture in the high-end mobile audio accessories space, where they recently introduced its Level series of accessories to compete against some of the more formidable and established names in the market – such as Beats, Monster, and Bose to name a few. Already, we’ve taken a close look at two products from its new line, the Samsung Level In and Level Box , that have proven to be surprisingly good when it comes down to audio quality. Hopefully, we can be assured that we’ll experience the same thing with the Samsung Level On, which as its name so happens to imply, is a pair of on-the-ear headphones. From the looks of it, Samsung has opted to go with a uniform design language with its new headphones line. Unlike the premium nature of its portable Bluetooth speaker, the Level Box, the Level On employs the same design characteristics as Samsung’s Level In headphones. Unfortunately, for a...

Apple iPhone 8 specifications may not have been finalized yet Initially, there were many reports suggesting the iPhone 8 launch would get delayed due to some manufacturing issue. Proving all the speculations wrong, last week Apple sent out invites for the launch event that is to take place on September 12. As usual, the name of the product was not mentioned in the official invite. However, judging from the company's past launching pattern, we are quite sure the iPhone 8 will get launched at the event. Now, with just 4 days left until the launch date, a report by The Investors has revealed a shocking piece of information. According to the publication, the specs line up of the iPhone 8 is not finalized yet. The website claims to have obtained the information from an anonymous representative from Apple's local supplier. The supplier says that the shipments of the 2017 iPhones started only from late August. He further added that its firms are yet to get exact details on t...

Facebook has been tweaking News Feed content to play with our emotions

Facebook has been tweaking News Feed content to play with our emotions Proof: Facebook affects your mood More negative posts in the news feed can affect user emitions A Facebook News Feed packed with negative status updates from peers is more likely to spur individual users to follow suit, a news study carried out by the social network has shown. The company's experiment artificially tweaked the feeds of 689,003 users to show more downcast or more positive updates from their friends over the period of a week. The results, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science showed a direct correlation between the emotions conveyed in the users' own posts over that period of time. While it's unsurprising that something sad or happy happening to a large number of close friends and acquaintances can affect our emotions, the study offers proof social media is affecting the mood of users, for better our worse.
