| | The Verge | Microsoft released its Windows 10 May 2019 Update to everyone yesterday. The Windows 10 May 2019 Update includes a new light theme for Windows 10, alongside Kaomoji support, a Windows sandbox feature, and the separation of Cortana and Windows search. Microsoft first released this to testers last month, giving the company plenty of time to avoid potential issues. | | TechCrunch | Apple is updating its 15” MacBook Pro with new 8-core and 6-core processors and its 13” MacBook Pro with Touch Bar with 8th gen quad-core processors. Apple says that these boosts mean that the 15” MacBook Pro will run at double the speed of the previous quad-core models and hit 40% improvements over the 6-core MacBook Pro model. Apple says that this is its fastest Mac notebook ever. Oh, and there is that keyboard update. | | The Verge | Mozilla is promising big performance gains with its latest Firefox browser update yesterday. The Mozilla community went through Firefox with a fine-tooth comb to identify areas where the browser could speed up and load webpages quicker. This means scripts for Instagram, Amazon, and Google all load between 40 and 80 percent faster, and things like the auto-fill module doesn’t load unless there’s an actual form on the page. | | ZDNet | Google puts all your online orders into a single page using purchase receipts stored in Gmail. |
