Microsoft has said it will provide the authorities with encryption keys for any Windows PC data protected by Bitlocker, where it has received a warrant to do so.

Poker software used to look like a spreadsheet with cards. The tables were flat, the buttons were functional, and nothing about the interface suggested fun. Players logged in, placed bets, and stared at static avatars while waiting for opponents to act. The design served its purpose but asked nothing of the player beyond patience. That…

More of what made GameShark legendary in the first place. This is only the start of Week 2, and the support so far has been insane. Thank you for pushing this past the first…

Fast, feisty, fabulous. That’s how I described the Intel Core Ultra X9 388H in my review, and I stand by it.
