Android apps break due to Google Play services ‘not supported’ error

A number of Pixel device owners are experiencing issues with Google Play services, which is displaying a message that it is “not supported by your device.” This malfunction affects both first and third-party applications, rendering them inoperable on Android 15 stable and QPR1 Beta versions.

This simple trick bypasses New Outlook for Windows install on your PC

Microsoft has changed its policies regarding the enablement and disablement of the New Outlook for Windows and Outlook for the web, leading to user dissatisfaction, particularly among those who prefer the Classic Outlook. A Reddit user discovered a method to bypass the installation of the New Outlook by uninstalling it, pausing its installation in the Microsoft Store, and closing the Store, creating a loop that prevents the New Outlook from appearing upon restarting the computer. However, this workaround may not be a permanent solution, as Microsoft could address it in future updates.

I didn’t shut down my Windows 11 laptop for three months and here’s what happened

Many users prefer to keep their PCs running continuously for convenience, especially when working on long-term projects that require multiple applications and tabs. Some users need their machines on for specific purposes like running media servers or remote access. The rise of smart home technology has also increased reliance on PCs as central hubs. An experiment with a Windows 11 laptop kept on for three months showed stable performance, with minor issues like lag in Google Chrome due to many open tabs. The battery performance was good, dropping only about 4% overnight after heavy usage. However, there are reasons to shut down a PC periodically, such as the need for software updates and enhanced security against cyberattacks. Shutting down can help mitigate potential issues and ensure efficient operation.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 – How to Play Early With the New Zealand Method | Xbox, PlayStation, PC – Gameranx

Black Ops 6 is set to launch on consoles at midnight local time in New Zealand on October 25, which is 7 AM ET on October 24 for Eastern Time Zone players. PC gamers will have access starting at 6 PM New Zealand time on October 25, or 1 AM ET. Players can use the "New Zealand method" to gain early access by changing their virtual location to New Zealand. For Xbox users, the steps include logging into the Activision website, editing the address to New Zealand, changing the console's location settings to New Zealand, and restarting the console. PlayStation users must adjust their Activision account's address to New Zealand, as there are no region settings on the console itself. For PC users, the method is not applicable through Battle.net or Steam, but they can change their location to New Zealand via the Microsoft Store by following similar steps as Xbox users.
