Microsoft Weekly - Workaround for Windows 11 Home internet requirement - a $4,999 RTX 3090

June 20, 2021

Hi folks, here's today's edition of the newsletter.

The last week has been rather interesting, given the leaked Windows 11 ISO, the E3 gaming announcements and yes, the Xbox Mini Fridge. Make sure you catch up via our handy overview.

Microsoft is expected to announce the Windows 11 update later this week. Along with the visual overhaul, Microsoft is also rumoured to bring back support for third-party widgets to Windows 11.

Next week could turn out to be quite lively or fairly dull for rocket launches with lots of the launches marked as No Earlier Than. Two missions on Friday, however, will definitely try to launch.

Windows 11 testing of Intel's Lakefield, based on the company's version of big.LITTLE architecture, shows promising results as the new OS' scheduler seems to be slightly better at task handling.

Microsoft might be removing the ability to set up a Windows 11 Home install with a local account or without an internet connection altogether, per the leaked build. However, there is a workaround.

COLORFUL has launched today the iGame RTX 3090 KUDAN graphics card for a whopping $4,999. The card is the biggest 3090 ever built and packs hybrid cooling, an LCD display, RGBs, and much more.
