Smart App Control arrived in Windows 11 as a quiet, opinionated guardian: built to stop untrusted and potentially malicious apps before they run, it pairs cloud intelligence, code-signing checks, and machine learning to make near‑instant allow/deny decisions — but its design choices produce...
Files 4.0 lands as a major milestone for an already feature-rich third‑party file manager, shipping a redesigned address experience (the new Omnibar), a polished Dual Pane workflow, wider cloud-drive support, and a host of security and productivity tools aimed squarely at power users and IT...
The short DrugsControl.org post titled “Gameing — Rummy Game for Windows 10” reads like an unexpected detour: a public-health and regulatory site publishing a short item about a desktop card game and where to get it. The page frames itself as a general-interest item, but offers little technical...
Microsoft’s public roadmap for a quantum-safe future marks a decisive shift: the company is moving from research experiments to a staged, product-level rollout of post-quantum cryptography (PQC) across its cryptographic libraries, identity systems, and hardware roots of trust — and it’s asking...
