Microsoft recently announced many of the big news that will come to Windows 11 with its first update, one that is expected in the fall of 2022. Among those news was the possibility of create folders in the Start Menu to include various application icons in themsomething that can be done in Windows 10. It’s a pretty useful feature that’s been on the Insider Program Dev channel for several weeks, and just got a little better with the option to label the folders in a way that is very reminiscent of iPadOS.

Google has removed the reverse image search feature within Chrome and has replaced it with Google Lens. The company has not offered an explanation as to why, but the change can already be seen in the current stable version of the browser. What this means is that from now on if you right click on any image within Chrome, you will no longer see the option to search similar images on googlebut instead you are now offered “Search image with Google Lens”.

a window to the world, a site that allows you to look outside someone’s window somewhere else. A community of hundreds of thousands of users that has become a nice escape for those of us who spend a lot of time at home in front of the computer. Its name is Windows Swap, a website that we talked about in 2020 and that became extremely popular in the toughest days of the pandemic and confinement, and that has just released a new version to make it easier to share your own view and monitor how many people have looked out…

It has happened to all of us at some point that an important email ends up in the spam folder, or it is sent to the wrong address and our lives get complicated. However, when something like this happens in a company and the result is that tens of millions of people lose access to a serviceThe truth is that it is time to reflect. That is what has happened with Telegram this weekend. Pavel Durov, CEO of the company, published on his channel that the Brazilian Supreme Court has suspended the messaging application in the country due to lack…

Last year, more or less around this time, we echoed in Genbeta about an ‘Easter egg’ that a hacker had discovered in Windows 95, 25 years after its release. It consisted, specifically, of a credits window with the names of the developers of the Internet Mail program, the predecessor of Outlook Express, and the steps necessary to activate it were so convoluted that it would not have surprised us if another 25 years had passed without anyone noticing his existence. But what happens when in the middle of 2022 the existence of an easter egg in Windows 1.0 is discovered,…

Since Russia invaded Ukraine a few days ago, starting a terrible war on European soilwe have been able to see that the efforts of the international community seek to pressure the Kremlin government with more tools than weapons.

There are a series of web pages that can save our lives at a given moment. The last of them that we were able to talk about in Genbeta was Online Convert, being able to convert multiple files to other formats easily and quickly. Today it’s time to talk about another web page that will be tremendously useful to us in this sense: XConvert.

I uploaded to YouTube a 4K video of more than an hour in length, to be able to easily show it to family and friends, since it has a size of 21 GB that makes it impossible to send it to many people, both for space and for access to media that allow it. Having it uploaded, I deleted it from my computer, knowing that YouTube quality was enough for a video like that. However, I forgot something that I already knew, and that is that once you have uploaded a video to YouTube, although the platform offers a download…

Privacy is a goal increasingly desired by Internet users; it’s also a promise increasingly hoisted by web browser developers.
