3 days ago, the Chinese techsite Benchlife leaked a table, which contains the names and the timeslots for the release of all Skylake CPUs. Skylake is, if you don´t know, the codename for the next Intel microarchitecture, which is the successor to the Haswell microarchitecture and its Broadwell shrink. Skylake is the biggest release for Intel since Sandy Bridge maybe, or even since the first Core 2 Duo CPUs. It was set to be released in the second half of 2015. Now that we have the roadmap, we can take a closer look on the Skylake plattform release timetable:
In our more recent “Why we love ThinkPads” article, I already announced that I had replaced my T440s with a new machine - the W550s. My T440s has served me well for the 1.5 years of usage, but it was time for me to move on. You may ask “Why the W550s, why not the logical choice T450s”. Well, first, I wanted to try something different. 14” is my favourite size, but I do find the idea of a slim and light 15” machine interesting. Also, I simply needed more GPU performance than the T450s had to offer with the HD 5500. So, I took the risk and stepped into the area of the unknown: I purchased the W550s on the 14th February 2015, and I got it exactly one week later. Lets jump right into the review! (well, not quite, first the specs of my machine, then the review).
Microsoft released an application that allows you to back-up your SMS on Windows Phone 8.1 to your SD card. Note that the application does not work at the moment for Windows Phones without a SD card.
On the 17th of April 2015, I had an interview with the team behind the best Android emulator to date. With many alternatives on the market like BlueStacks, Android x86, GenyMotion and possibly others it always came down to mostly the same missing feature multi-touch support.
My experience developing for the Microsoft Band. What you should know for now how it works. As it is different at this point than developing for the Apple Watch and Android wearables.
Microsoft Band is definately the best smartwatch at this point for capturing data from sensors, leaving the competition way behind. It is very unlikely people will be using their smartwatch for actually running programs on it or interacting with it. You are more likely to grab your smartphone in your pocket. But the Windows wearables will do just fine for displaying notifications and capturing data. Plus these got great battery life too.
Enabling GZIP compression for your website is important. Because it reduces the network bandwidth required to display a page. Your readers will thank you for not wasting any bytes in their data plan. In addition to that, pages will also load faster as a result, specially if you are using a slower connection.
In this tutorial, we are going to show you how to use a domain name you have with an external provider with your website hosted on Azure.
I have reserved a domain name ‘www.thinkscopes.com’ with 1&1. But I want to use this domain name with my website hosted on Azure. How do I do this? Well let me tell you!
First of all log in to the Azure Portal.
Shortly after the Haswell ThinkPads were launched, Lenovo faced some harsh criticism from the ThinkPad community for not offering 2 SO-DIMM slots on their Ultrabook line-up, most notably the X240 and even the T440s. This limited the maximum RAM capacity to 8GB on the X240 and 12GB on the T440s. Most of the criticism derived from the fact that the previous generation of ThinkPads, such as the X230 and T430s, were configurable with up to 16GB of RAM.
