This black hole Stephen Hawking coin is bonkers. The United Kingdom’s Royal Mint just started a collection of real-deal coins that’ll be able to be used in the wild – but you’ll far more likely be keeping in your private collection. The collection is centered on British Science, and if Stephen Hawking’s black hole coin is any indication, it’s about … Continue reading

There were a few things that got our ears to perk up, but one of the most exciting announcements was the promise of Android screen mirroring within Windows 10 using the Your Phone app. It’s been several months … Continue reading

I’ve been using Allo since the day it was released. At first, it was simple curiosity. Google’s got another messaging app, so how is it going to screw this one up? But even with its flaws, the more I used it, I grew to appreciate its slick interface, baked in gif engine, and its general ease of use. But today, March…

The most effective way to block an annoying sound is to simply build a barrier—the thicker, the better. But instead of everyone living in sound-blocking caves in a few years as noisy drones criss-cross the skies, researchers at Boston University have engineered an acoustic metamaterial that’s designed to silence…

Microsoft has already confirmed that it’s going to end support for Windows 7 on January 14th, 2020. The company is now planning to push notifications to users who are still running this version of the operating system to inform them about the impending end of support. It will begin notifying users about the cutoff date starting next month.
What end of support means is that Microsoft will no longer send security updates for Windows 7 and Office 2020. It would recommend that users upgrade to Windows 10 and Office 365 instead. There’s obviously no guarantee of security once the company ends support for the aforementioned iteration.
The notification that Microsoft starts pushing out next month won’t specifically mention Windows 10. However, it will mention the cutoff date and a link to the company’s website which offers more detail about the end of support. That site encourages users to upgrade to Windows 10 or buy a modern PC that comes with the new iteration.
“This is a courtesy reminder that you can expect to see a handful of times in 2019,” CVP of Windows Matt Barlow said of the notification, adding that users can expect to see this notification appear on their Windows 7 PC starting next month. Windows 7 users will have the option to “do not remind me again” so that they are not bothered by this notification again. Microsoft has clearly picked up on some lessons from the persistent notifications debacle during the free Windows 10 upgrade period.

PayPal announced last year that it was making it possible for businesses to access their funds after a sale is generated. They could access funds from completed sales instantly provided certain conditions were met. This facility was not extended to individual users and they still had to wait for bank transfers. That changes today with PayPal’s new Instant Transfer option for users in the United States.
PayPal has launched an Instant Transfer option today in the United States which allows individual users to immediately transfer money into their bank account and not just their debit card. This also allows people without debit cards to have the capability to instantly credit funds from their PayPal accounts to their bank account. It’s also going to be very useful for freelancers and workers in the gig economy who have irregular payment schedules.
There is a 1 percent transaction fee for this so while it won’t be worth the charge in most cases, users will appreciate knowing that they now have the capability to instantly transfer PayPal funds to their bank account should they so require.
PayPal explained to TechCrunch that this feature has been made possible in the United States through JPMorgan Chase’s access to The Clearing House. It’s a platform that’s used by major banks for a faster payments network.
