Warcraft 3: Reforged adds always-online requirement, removes LAN mode

The 3.0 patch for Warcraft 3: Reforged has introduced the Forsaken Kingdom expansion, which includes bug fixes and new features. A significant change is the requirement for an internet connection to play, even in single-player mode, which removes local area network (LAN) functionality. Blizzard has provided access to the legacy Warcraft 3 client with the purchase of Reforged, allowing offline play and LAN support. The patch also adds a new graphics mode for improved visual fidelity and doubles the unit selection cap from 12 to 24. Full patch notes are available on the Blizzard forums.

5 Android Auto Mistakes That Could Be Ruining Your Driving Experience

Optimizing the Android Auto experience involves keeping the app updated, which requires Android 9.0 or later, with Android 11.0 recommended for wireless functionality.

Android can now move passwords and passkeys between password managers

Google has integrated a password manager transfer feature into the Android operating system, allowing users to move passwords and passkeys between compatible applications without exporting an unencrypted CSV file.

It supports popular password managers such as Google Password Manager, 1Password, Bitwarden, and Dashlane, with more providers expected to join. The transfer process involves selecting the import or copy option in the new password manager app, where Android identifies compatible managers and users authorize the transfer. This functionality operates through Google Play Services, requiring no separate Android version update.

Windows 11 is finally testing automatic theme switching, a basic feature that’s required a third-party app for years

Windows 11 will introduce automatic switching between dark mode and light mode, as revealed in the latest Windows Insider build.
