Windows 11 reached a significant milestone, surpassing 1 billion users, despite some negative feedback surrounding the operating system. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella announced the achievement during the company's most recent earnings call, according to Ars Technica.
Despite the milestone for Windows 11, Microsoft's PowerToys team is experimenting with a top menu bar for the operating system, similar to those found in Linux, macOS, and older versions of Windows, The Verge reported. This optional user interface, dubbed the "Command Palette Dock" by Microsoft, would provide quick access to tools and system resource monitoring. Microsoft has released concept images illustrating their vision for the feature. Tom Warren of The Verge noted that the menu bar is intended to complement the Command Palette launcher.
In other tech news, a new company called Tomorrow Doesn't Matter (TDM) unveiled the Neo headphones at CES earlier this month. According to The Verge, these headphones have a unique feature: they can roll up and transform into a Bluetooth speaker. Andrew Liszewski reported that preorders for the Neo headphones will begin on February 10th via Kickstarter.
Nvidia's commitment to long-term software support for its Shield Android TV, released in 2015, was also highlighted. Ars Technica reported that the company has been dedicated to updating the device, a commitment described by Nvidia's senior VP of hardware engineering, Andrew Bell, as a "labor of love." This contrasts with the limited update support typically offered for Android devices in the past.
Samsung's S90F QD-OLED TV received high praise from Wired, with a rating of 9/10. The review emphasized the TV's "comprehensively excellent picture quality," "vivid yet natural colors," and "deep contrast and shadow detail." The reviewer also noted the improved Tizen smart system and ease of setup. However, the TV was noted to be not as bright as top flagships and lacks Dolby Vision support.
