I know that Windows users tend to favor the familiar over the unknown. However, despite some updated visuals and improved tools, Windows 11 doesn't present a significant learning curve for Windows 10 users. This is not another Windows 8 situation, in which Microsoft throws out decades of interface conventions just to be trendy. Moreover, Windows 11 brings your system up to date with the latest code and unlocks capabilities and features you can't get with any other desktop OS.

Last week, Discord confirmed that some of its users were impacted by a data breach after one of its third-party customer service providers was compromised.

Basic ($6.74 per month, renewing at $6.99 per month) has unlimited monthly data transfers, unlimited storage, a free dedicated IP address, and the ability to host a single domain. Advanced ($8.24 per month, renewing at $8.99 per month) builds upon Basic by letting you host up to six domains. Ultimate (starting at $9.74 per month, renewing at $10.99 per month) adds the ability to host an unlimited number of domains.

There are third-party "privacy" tools that promise to disable these ads with one click, but I don't recommend them. These one-size-fits-all options may seem quick and convenient, but they dig into the Registry and depend on other settings. If something goes wrong, it can be hard to troubleshoot. Instead, you're better off doing it yourself, so you know what to tweak later if something breaks. Thankfully, most of these ads have simple toggles to turn them off in the settings menu.

Panther Lake is, on the client-compute side of things, a mobile chip platform first and foremost. Intel has classified Panther Lake as a refinement of two families of mobile CPU that came before: the energy-efficiency-minded "Lunar Lake" (a darling of long-battery-life x86 laptops, better known as the Core Ultra 200V series) and the more performance-oriented “Arrow Lake,” which tends to appear in bigger, peppier machines, often paired with a discrete GPU.
