Microsoft said this week that the most recent Windows security update for Windows 10 and Windows 11 may break VPN connections.
According to Microsoft (via Bleeping Computer), “Windows devices might face VPN connection failures after installing the April 2024 security update, or KB5036893.”
Microsoft has no fix at the current time, the company said. “We are working on a resolution and will provide an update in an upcoming release,” the company said.
Unfortunately, the list of affected clients is rather lengthy: Windows 11 (23H2, 22H2, and 21H2) as well as Windows 10 (22H2 and 21H2). If you’re ..read more

Razer’s gaming mouse designs can get pretty pricey — the Naga Pro I’m using as I write this article was $150 when it came out. The wired, FPS-friendly Razer Basilisk V3 is one of the company’s more affordable options, and today it’s even more so. Normally $69.99, Amazon has it on sale for just $44.99, a 36 percent discount.

I find it really hard to recommend any Windows-powered machine these days with less than 16GB of memory. Windows 11, not to mention essentials like Chrome and other browsers, just chug on anything less. So it’s great to see a dependable 15-inch laptop from Dell going for as little as $359.99, at least if you jump through a hoop or two.
Dell is selling an Inspiron 15, with a 12th-gen Intel Core i5, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of SSD storage for $399.99, already a very solid $150 off the regular price. But as a poster on SlickDeals notes, you might be able to get an even lower price if you haven’t s ..read more

OLED monitors are the cream of the crop when it comes to gaming, and Samsung makes one of the biggest, widest ones out there. The Odyssey OLED G9 is 49 inches of super-saturated, perfect-black glory, but it doesn’t come cheap, with a regular retail price of $1799. But today Amazon is offering it at one of the best prices we’ve seen yet, just $999.99, matching a low we saw for a few days last month. To get the full discount, be sure to click the coupon button that knocks another $100 off its already-spectacular $1,099 sale price.

PC players have been enjoying the hell out of Helldivers 2, the 3D update to the team-killing PvE original. In fact PC sales have made up the bulk of the player base, despite the game being published by Sony on PS5 simultaneously. But a new message telling PC users that they’ll need a PlayStation account has some of them feeling less than patriotic for Super Earth.
Requiring a PlayStation account was always the plan, according to the publisher’s post on Steam. “Due to technical issues at the launch of Helldivers 2, we allowed the linking requirements for Steam accounts to a PlayStation ..read more
