Surface Go is available globally for $399 with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. This is the variant Microsoft really wants consumers to get excited about.

Action Following GitHub’s warning to Okta, the company saw the breach and put in place access restrictions to all GitHub repositories on a temporary basis....

Apple already offers a similar system, known as Boot Camp, even though the company insists Mac OS is all you will ever need. It’s noteworthy that Microsoft offers no side-door to Mac or Chrome OS. The report suggests Google is working on a so-called “alt OS mode”. This will be reserved specifically for the company’s own Pixelbook laptop.

On the one side, Congress is pushing tech companies to divulge information on perpetrators of the Capitol riots. On the other side, Republicans continue to disrupt proceedings. Investigators are trying to find out about communications between then president, Donald Trump and Republican members of Congress during the attack.

An ARM variant of Firefox was announced alongside Chromium and is in public testing. There are obviously many things that can lead to differing release times, but Woods believes it’s due to a disagreement between the partners involved. “There seems to be some kind of disagreement between Google and one of the other companies involved (either Qualcomm or Microsoft),” he said. “Last I heard, it will likely be resolved some time in the February timeframe....

Microsoft says this addition came about as a result of user feedback. It’s particularly useful if you want to check if someone is on Skype before you use credit. Unfortunately, the update doesn’t bring any other features, but it does come with the usual stability and performance updates. In general, you can expect a smoother experience with fewer crashes, which is always nice. Winning Users Back Microsoft seems to be focusing strongly on calling this year, with screenshots and sharing coming in January, improved audio control in February, and call intent support in April....

Of course, people who needed call recording facilities on Skype have not been left wanting. Numerous third-party developers brought recording to the platform. However, Microsoft wants to make the whole process more efficient. There are a couple of things to consider. Firstly, the introduction of call recording is limited to Windows 10 and Mac, at least for now. Secondly, Microsoft seems to be pushing this feature to streamers and vloggers, but we think it would also be useful for business users and organizations....

However, perhaps more notable is who isn’t present in the list. SoftBank’s previous Vision Fund caused some concern due to its investment from key figures in the Saudi Arabian government....

Instead, it is supposed to spur developer interest by providing a hero device that they can use as a reference for the capabilities of hardware on Windows 10 Mobile....

The United States signed up to the Paris climate agreement when President Obama was in the White House....
