The freaking best 10 bucks I ever spent. Works for both right out of the box with no codes necessary! Press Cabl for Roku. Here’s where the dumb part comes in. So I get the package in the mail and I say let me pour some rum and coke and mess with it later. After drinking about a pint I entered codes from the little instruction book and half of the buttons did not work.

I’m like wtf Worst remote ever and I started looking for another one. While searching on my phone I decided to do a master reset on the remote control and when I did Lol it worked perfectly for both.

And after doing further research it automatically comes programmed for Samsung and Roku. No more drinking and remote pairing! Best 10 bucks you would spend. You can not beat it. I will update if I get any issues I bought this remote so I would only have one to use between my receiver and Samsung TV.

For the most part its a decent universal remote. Looks nice, is relatively thin, and button presses feel responsive. Unfortunately there’s a big drawback when using this remote with newer Samsung Smart TVs.

The button you would think would take you back a page in whichever application you’re using exits the application completely. What’s even worse is that there is no button for “back” mapped anywhere on this remote for Samsungs. So, for example, browsing shows on Hulu, if you select a show for more information, there’s no way to go back to the previous screen. Your only option is to exit the application entirely and start over. I tried using every remote code for Samsung TVs provided by the manual, but unfortunately the problem persisted.

I have a Vizio sound bar who’s volume could be adjusted when using the cable remote programmed for the TV. When I paired the Samsung to the cable remote I could not control the sound bar volume. I called the cable company. No luck. I called vizio, no luck. I was ready to buy a new sound bar but vizio could not guarantee it would work with the cable remote. It was and in less time than I was on hold with either the cable or vizio I was up and running and able to control the cable box, TV, DVD, and sound bar.

And its lighter and smaller that the cable remote. All my remotes in one! I have searched and searched for a universal remote that would take care of everything in our media room and I have finally found a winner with this GE Ultra Pro Universal Remote.

No more fumbling to switch from one remote to another. Simply use one!!! From the moment I took it out of the package until the moment I had all devices programmed into the remote and ready to roll, only ten minutes had gone by. Simple, easy to understand directions for set up and all the codes I needed were in the manual.

I absolutely LOVE this remote which front panel illuminates when using. The price is excellent and the quality top-notch! We’ve been using it for over a month now and it is fantastic! This one is an absolute home run in my book!!! By Eric Foster on September 10, I bought this for a family member who had lost the remote to his TV and needed a new one. And the replacement would’ve been more expensive. After trying all the Haier codes none of which worked , I attempted to do the “Automatic code finding method”, which found the code for the TV.

So if none of the codes provided work for your TV, don’t give up! Try the automatic code finding method in the manual. I love the sleek design and small form factor. It feels nice in the hand. Definitely recommend and will buy more if I need spare remotes in the future!

The input button doesn’t work at all and the power button only works sometimes. It’s not a problem with programing because 1 I have programmed many universal remotes and know how to do it almost by heart and 2 the volume controls always works. Also I’ve only had this remote for two weeks and the silicone of the power button popped out. I’m in the process of returning the remote. Very disappointed and it’s the worst universal remote I’ve ever owned.

I’ve never been this upset and inconvenienced from returning a package! We lost the remote for our Samsung TV and it got pretty old having to get up and turn it on or turn down the volume it’s !

I ordered this not ever having used or set up a universal remote and once I popped the batteries in it just started working! Thank baby jesus! I didn’t have to do any of the programming stuff since it is pre-set for Samsung TV’s.

I was worried, but couldn’t make it easier than that. If you have a Samsung TV, get this! The price is right and it’s pre-programmed. See all reviews. Top reviews from other countries. Translate all reviews to English. Not good for modern devices. Read to see why Not even the “input” button works! Instead, it would do some weird function of “saving channel” Also, I have a Vizio Soundbar which I recommend getting in another review but this remote doesn’t have a “bluetooth” button like the soundbar does.

And this is after spending 30 minutes trying to get the codes right! I’m sure it’s good for simple purposes, but not for modern purposes.

Reviewed in Canada on November 2, This is a very good replacement remote or adjunct to one on which some keys have stopped working. It covers all of the major functions of my TV and also my cable box as I discovered through experimenting. However, at first it seemed like it was able to perform only the very basic functions on my 6-year old Toshiba TV like powering on or changing channels, but that others source selection, TV configuration menu were either unavailable or were working wonkily.

That’s because I used the codes listed in the enclosed instructions. I then went to the manufacturer’s Web site byjasco. The first one I tried worked perfectly and I can now use the remote fully for my TV.

I do not know if it works for Apple TV or networking capabilities since I do not find those things relevant for my needs and it would be picayune for me to complain about that. It would be a good idea for GE to include a more useful and up-to-date version of the codes list in the packaging or to simply direct people to go to the Web site as a first step.

Programming the remote is simple and very fast. I also appreciate its slim-line profile and the light weight. And if you buy one of the versions in another finish than the standard basic black, it becomes more readily identifiable as you need to locate it. I have yet to try it for my Blu-Ray players, but it does seem to be lacking one-key access to some of the functionalities like time elasped or remaining; I would probably need to go into menus to use them with this remote.

But that is a minor point and I consider myself fully satisfied. I bought this remote because my surround sound Onkyo brand , remote is starting to die. Although this replacement remote does most of the functions of the factory one, it does not switch between sources.

Which is what I mainly wanted it for. I was hoping that I could use the coloured buttons on this remote to program them to change input and output sources. That has proved to not be the case. In the meantime, I will have to keep searching for a learning remote. Translate review to English. The manual included a QR code to their instructional video on Youtube, which is fantastic for lazy people like myself.

The setup took less than a minute, and I was ready to go. The Siri remote supports both IR and Bluetooth signals. This remote, unfortunately, only supports IR. This means if your Apple TV is tucked away, it will not be able to receive the signal. I had to pull mine out of the TV stand. Things on Apple TV you cannot do with this remote: – Scribble seek: Unlike the Siri remote, there is no touch pad on this remote, and you are only allowed to skip 10 seconds at a time.

Having to switch between multiple remotes is a nightmare. Your recently viewed items and featured recommendations. Back to top. The Guardian. Retrieved September 6, More Than a PDA!

Development was completed on November 8, , and over the following three months, it was released in stages to computer hardware and software manufacturers, business customers and retail channels.

On January 30, , it was released internationally and was made available for purchase and download from the Windows Marketplace ; it is the first release of Windows to be made available through a digital distribution platform.

New features of Windows Vista include an updated graphical user interface and visual style dubbed Aero , a new search component called Windows Search , redesigned networking, audio, print and display sub-systems, and new multimedia tools such as Windows DVD Maker. Vista aimed to increase the level of communication between machines on a home network , using peer-to-peer technology to simplify sharing files and media between computers and devices.

Windows Vista included version 3. While these new features and security improvements garnered positive reviews, Vista was also the target of much criticism and negative press.

Criticism of Windows Vista includes its high system requirements , its more restrictive licensing terms, lack of compatibility, longer boot time , and excessive authorization prompts from User Account Control. As a result of these and other issues, Windows Vista saw initial adoption and satisfaction rates lower than Windows XP. However, Vista usage had surpassed Microsoft’s pre-launch two-year-out expectations of achieving million users, with an estimated million Internet users in January On October 22, , Microsoft ceased sales of retail copies of Windows Vista, and the original equipment manufacturer sales for Vista ceased a year later.

Official mainstream support for Vista ended on April 10, , and extended support ended on April 11, , while the server equivalent, Windows Server , had its mainstream support ended on January 13, , [10] followed by extended support on January 14, As of February [update] , 0.

Microsoft began work on Windows Vista, known at the time by its codename “Longhorn”, in May , [12] five months before the release of Windows XP. It was originally expected to ship in late as a minor step between Windows XP and “Blackcomb”, which was planned to be the company’s next major operating system release.

Gradually, “Longhorn” assimilated many of the important new features and technologies slated for Blackcomb, resulting in the release date being pushed back several times in three years. In some builds of Longhorn, their license agreement said “For the Microsoft product codenamed ‘Whistler'”.

Many of Microsoft’s developers were also re-tasked to build updates to Windows XP and Windows Server to strengthen security. Faced with ongoing delays and concerns about feature creep , Microsoft announced on August 27, , that it had revised its plans. For this reason, Longhorn was reset to start work on componentizing the Windows Server Service Pack 1 codebase, and over time re-incorporating the features that would be intended for an actual operating system release.

Longhorn became known as Vista in The early development stages of Longhorn were generally characterized by incremental improvements and updates to Windows XP. During this period, Microsoft was fairly quiet about what was being worked on, as their marketing and public relations efforts were more strongly focused on Windows XP, and Windows Server , which was released in April Occasional builds of Longhorn were leaked onto popular file sharing networks such as IRC , BitTorrent , eDonkey and various newsgroups , and so most of what is known about builds before the first sanctioned development release of Longhorn in May is derived from these builds.

After several months of relatively little news or activity from Microsoft with Longhorn, Microsoft released Build , which had made an appearance on the Internet around February 28, As an evolutionary release over build , it contained several small improvements, including a modified blue “Plex” theme and a new, simplified Windows Image-based installer that operates in graphical mode from the outset, and completed an install of the operating system in approximately one third the time of Windows XP on the same hardware.

An optional “new taskbar” was introduced that was thinner than the previous build and displayed the time differently. The most notable visual and functional difference, however, came with Windows Explorer. The incorporation of the Plex theme made blue the dominant color of the entire application.

The Windows XP-style task pane was almost completely replaced with a large horizontal pane that appeared under the toolbars. A new search interface allowed for filtering of results, searching for Windows help, and natural-language queries that would be used to integrate with WinFS.

The animated search characters were also removed. The “view modes” were also replaced with a single slider that would resize the icons in real-time, in the list, thumbnail, or details mode, depending on where the slider was. File metadata was also made more visible and more easily editable, with more active encouragement to fill out missing pieces of information. Also of note was the conversion of Windows Explorer to being a. NET application. Most builds of Longhorn and Vista were identified by a label that was always displayed in the bottom-right corner of the desktop.

A typical build label would look like “Longhorn Build Higher build numbers did not automatically mean that the latest features from every development team at Microsoft was included. Typically, a team working on a certain feature or subsystem would generate their working builds which developers would test with, and when the code was deemed stable, all the changes would be incorporated back into the main development tree at once.

At Microsoft, several “Build labs” exist where the compilation of the entirety of Windows can be performed by a team. The name of the lab in which any given build originated is shown as part of the build label, and the date and time of the build follow that. Some builds such as Beta 1 and Beta 2 only display the build label in the version information dialog Winver.

The icons used in these builds are from Windows XP. The demonstrations were done on a revised build which was never released. Several sessions for developers and hardware engineers at the conference focused on these new features, as well as the Next-Generation Secure Computing Base previously known as “Palladium” , which at the time was Microsoft’s proposed solution for creating a secure computing environment whereby any given component of the system could be deemed “trusted”.

Also at this conference, Microsoft reiterated their roadmap for delivering Longhorn, pointing to an “early ” release date. By , it had become obvious to the Windows team at Microsoft that they were losing sight of what needed to be done to complete the next version of Windows and ship it to customers.

Internally, some Microsoft employees were describing the Longhorn project as “another Cairo” or “Cairo. NET”, referring to the Cairo development project that the company embarked on through the first half of the s, which never resulted in a shipping operating system though nearly all the technologies developed in that time did end up in Windows 95 and Windows NT [17].

It offered only a limited subset of features planned for Longhorn, in particular fast file searching and integrated graphics and sound processing, but appeared to have impressive reliability and performance compared to contemporary Longhorn builds. In a September 23, front-page article in The Wall Street Journal , [19] Microsoft co-president Jim Allchin , who had overall responsibility for the development and delivery of Windows, explained how development of Longhorn had been “crashing into the ground” due in large part to the haphazard methods by which features were introduced and integrated into the core of the operating system, without a clear focus on an end-product.

Allchin went on to explain how in December , he enlisted the help of two other senior executives, Brian Valentine and Amitabh Srivastava, the former being experienced with shipping software at Microsoft, most notably Windows Server , [20] and the latter having spent his career at Microsoft researching and developing methods of producing high-quality testing systems.

This change, announced internally to Microsoft employees on August 26, , began in earnest in September, though it would take several more months before the new development process and build methodology would be used by all of the development teams. A number of complaints came from individual developers, and Bill Gates himself, that the new development process was going to be prohibitively difficult to work within. By approximately November , the company had considered several names for the final release, ranging from simple to fanciful and inventive.

In the end, Microsoft chose Windows Vista as confirmed on July 22, , believing it to be a “wonderful intersection of what the product really does, what Windows stands for, and what resonates with customers, and their needs”. That’s what Windows Vista is all about: “bringing clarity to your world” a reference to the three marketing points of Vista—Clear, Connected, Confident , so you can focus on what matters to you”. After Longhorn was named Windows Vista in July , an unprecedented beta-test program was started, involving hundreds of thousands of volunteers and companies.

The first of these was distributed at the Microsoft Professional Developers Conference , and was subsequently released to beta testers and Microsoft Developer Network subscribers. The builds that followed incorporated most of the planned features for the final product, as well as a number of changes to the user interface, based largely on feedback from beta testers. Windows Vista was deemed feature-complete with the release of the “February CTP”, released on February 22, , and much of the remainder of the work between that build and the final release of the product focused on stability, performance, application and driver compatibility, and documentation.

Beta 2, released in late May, was the first build to be made available to the general public through Microsoft’s Customer Preview Program.

It was downloaded over 5 million times. Two release candidates followed in September and October, both of which were made available to a large number of users. The UEFI 2. As a result, the decision was made to postpone the introduction of UEFI support to Windows; support for UEFI on bit platforms was postponed until Vista Service Pack 1 and Windows Server and bit UEFI would not be supported, as Microsoft did not expect many such systems to be built because the market was quickly moving to bit processors.

While Microsoft had originally hoped to have the consumer versions of the operating system available worldwide in time for the holiday shopping season , it announced in March that the release date would be pushed back to January in order to give the company—and the hardware and software companies that Microsoft depends on for providing device drivers —additional time to prepare.

Because a release to manufacturing RTM build is the final version of code shipped to retailers and other distributors, the purpose of a pre-RTM build is to eliminate any last “show-stopper” bugs that may prevent the code from responsibly being shipped to customers, as well as anything else that consumers may find annoying. Thus, it is unlikely that any major new features would be introduced; instead, work would focus on Vista’s fit and finish.

In just a few days, developers had managed to drop Vista’s bug count from over on September 22 to just over by the time RC2 shipped in early October. However, they still had a way to go before Vista was ready to RTM. Microsoft’s internal processes required Vista’s bug count to drop to or fewer before the product could go into escrow for RTM. On June 14, , Windows developer Philip Su posted a blog entry which decried the development process of Windows Vista, stating that “The code is way too complicated, and that the pace of coding has been tremendously slowed down by overbearing process.

During a demonstration of the speech recognition feature new to Windows Vista at Microsoft’s Financial Analyst Meeting on July 27, , the software recognized the phrase “Dear mom” as “Dear aunt”. After several failed attempts to correct the error, the sentence eventually became ” Dear aunt, let’s set so double the killer delete select all “. Windows Vista build October 17, was supposed to be the RTM release, but a bug, which destroyed any system that was upgraded from Windows XP, prevented this, damaging development and lowering the chance that it would hit its January deadline.

Development of Windows Vista came to an end when Microsoft announced that it had been finalized on November 8, , and was concluded by co-president of Windows development, Jim Allchin. Vista includes technologies such as ReadyBoost [60] and ReadyDrive , which employ fast flash memory located on USB flash drives and hybrid hard disk drives to improve system performance by caching commonly used programs and data.

This manifests itself in improved battery life on notebook computers as well, since a hybrid drive can be spun down when not in use. It uses almost all the extra RAM as disk cache. As part of the redesign of the networking architecture, IPv6 has been fully incorporated into the operating system [64] and a number of performance improvements have been introduced, such as TCP window scaling. The new driver model facilitates the new Desktop Window Manager , which provides the tearing -free desktop and special effects that are the cornerstones of Windows Aero.

Direct3D 10, developed in conjunction with major graphics card manufacturers, is a new architecture with more advanced shader support, and allows the graphics processing unit to render more complex scenes without assistance from the CPU. It does this by making it easy to connect to external monitors, providing for protected HD video playback, and increasing overall video playback quality. For the first time in Windows, graphics processing unit GPU multitasking is possible, enabling users to run more than one GPU-intensive application simultaneously.

The Heap Manager implements additional features such as integrity checking in order to improve robustness and defend against buffer overflow security exploits , although this comes at the price of breaking backward compatibility with some legacy applications.

Improved security was a primary design goal for Vista. UAC is a security technology that makes it possible for users to use their computer with fewer privileges by default, to stop malware from making unauthorized changes to the system.

This was often difficult in previous versions of Windows, as the previous “limited” user accounts proved too restrictive and incompatible with a large proportion of application software, and even prevented some basic operations such as looking at the calendar from the notification tray.

Regular use of the computer such as running programs, printing, or surfing the Internet does not trigger UAC prompts. User Account Control asks for credentials in a Secure Desktop mode, in which the entire screen is dimmed, and only the authorization window is active and highlighted.

The intent is to stop a malicious program from misleading the user by interfering with the authorization window, and to hint to the user about the importance of the prompt. Symantec used over 2, active malware samples, consisting of backdoors , keyloggers , rootkits , mass mailers, trojan horses , spyware , adware , and various other samples. Each was executed on a default Windows Vista installation within a standard user account. UAC effectively blocked over 50 percent of each threat , excluding rootkits.

Internet Explorer 7 ‘s new security and safety features include a phishing filter, IDN with anti-spoofing capabilities, and integration with system-wide parental controls. For added security, ActiveX controls are disabled by default. Also, Internet Explorer operates in a protected mode, which operates with lower permissions than the user and runs in isolation from other applications in the operating system, preventing it from accessing or modifying anything besides the Temporary Internet Files directory.

Changes to various system configuration settings such as new auto-starting applications are blocked unless the user gives consent.

Windows Mobile is a discontinued family of mobile operating systems developed by Microsoft for smartphones and personal digital assistants.

It was renamed “Windows Mobile” in , at which point it came in several versions similar to the desktop versions of Windows and was aimed at business and enterprise consumers. Following the rise of newer smartphone OSs iOS and Android Windows Mobile never equalled the success and faded rapidly in the following years.

By February , Microsoft announced Windows Phone to supersede Windows Mobile with a more modern take on the industry. As a result, Windows Mobile has been deprecated. Windows Phone is incompatible with Windows Mobile devices and software. Most versions of Windows Mobile have a standard set of features, such as multitasking and the ability to navigate a file system similar to that of Windows 9x and Windows NT , including support for many of the same file types.

Similarly to its desktop counterpart , it comes bundled with a set of applications that perform basic tasks. Internet Explorer Mobile is the default web browser , and Windows Media Player is the default media player used for playing digital media. The mobile version of Microsoft Office is the default office suite. Internet Connection Sharing , supported on compatible devices, allows the phone to share its Internet connection with computers via USB and Bluetooth. Most devices with mobile connectivity also have a Radio Interface Layer.

The Radio Interface Layer provides the system interface between the Cell Core layer within the Windows Mobile OS and the radio protocol stack used by the wireless modem hardware. This allows OEMs to integrate a variety of modems into their equipment. The user interface changed dramatically between versions, only retaining similar functionality.

The Today Screen , later called the Home Screen , shows the current date , owner information, upcoming appointments, e-mails, and tasks. The taskbar displays the current time as well as the volume level. Devices with a cellular radio also show the signal strength on said taskbar. It includes a suite of basic applications developed with the Microsoft Windows API , and is designed to have features and appearance somewhat similar to desktop versions of Windows. It allowed third party developers to develop software for Windows Mobile with no restrictions imposed by Microsoft.

Software applications were purchasable from Windows Marketplace for Mobile during the service’s lifespan. Most early Windows Mobile devices came with a stylus , which can be used to enter commands by tapping it on the screen. Later devices used capacitive sensing which does not require a stylus. Along with touchscreens, a large variety of form factors existed for the platform. Some devices featured slideout keyboards, while others featured minimal face buttons.

Microsoft’s work on handheld portable devices began with research projects in , with the work on Windows CE beginning in It is treating pens right for the first time. The two disbanded groups would form the Pegasus project in Under the name Handheld PC , a hardware reference guide was created and devices began shipping in , although most of these device bore little resemblance to the goal of a pen-based touchscreen handheld device.

It was the debut of what was later dubbed the Windows Mobile operating system, and meant to be a successor to the operating system aboard Palm-size PCs. It retained backwards compatibility with such Palm-size PC applications. While, several Pocket PC phones were released, Microsoft’s smartphone hardware platform was not yet created. Infrared IR File beaming capability was among the original hardware features. Crucially, unlike the interface on predecessing Palm-size PC, the Pocket PC had a less cluttered interface more suitable for a mobile device.

This initial release had multiple built-in applications, [12] many of them similarly branded to match their desktop counterparts; such as Microsoft Reader , Microsoft Money , Pocket Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player. Notes, a note-taking app saw its first release and would be supported by most later versions of Windows Mobile. Intelligent character recognition support allowed Notes to distinguish styles of handwriting to be learned by the OS during processing to improve accuracy and recognition levels.

With future releases, the Pocket PC and Smartphone lines would increasingly collide as the licensing terms were relaxed allowing OEMs to take advantage of more innovative, individual design ideas. Newly added or updated programs include [14] [15] [16] [17] Windows Media Player 8 with streaming capability; MSN Messenger , and Microsoft Reader 2, with Digital rights management support.

Upgrades to the bundled version of Office Mobile include a spell checker and word count tool in Pocket Word and improved Pocket Outlook.

The last was designed especially for Pocket PCs which include phone functionalities. Windows Mobile was powered by Windows CE 4. Communications interface were enhanced with Bluetooth device management, which allowed for Bluetooth file beaming support, Bluetooth headset support and support for Bluetooth add-on keyboards.

A pictures application with viewing, cropping, e-mail, and beaming support was added. A puzzle game titled Jawbreaker is among the preinstalled programs. GAPI was included with this release to facilitate the development of games for the platform. This was the last version which allowed users to back up and restore an entire device through ActiveSync. This upgrade allows users to switch between portrait and landscape modes and introduces a single-column layout in Pocket Internet Explorer.

Windows Mobile 5. Microsoft offered mainstream support for Windows Mobile 5 through October 12, , and extended support through October 13, It used the. NET Compact Framework 1. Other features included an enhanced battery-saving capability called persistent storage capability. This continued the trend of Windows-based devices moving from using RAM as their primary storage medium to the use of a combination of RAM and flash memory in use, no distinction between the two is obvious to users.

Programs and frequently accessed data run in RAM, while most storage is in the flash memory. The OS seamlessly moves data between the two as needed. Everything is backed up in the flash memory, so unlike prior devices, WM5 devices lose no data if power is lost.

New to 5. Media management and playback was enhanced with Picture and Video package, which converged the management of videos and pictures and Windows Media Player 10 Mobile. Improvements were made to ActiveSync 4. Business customers benefited from a new error reporting facility similar to that present in desktop and server Windows systems.

Caller ID now supports photos so a user can apply an image to each contact to show when a call is received. DirectShow was also natively added. This release was the first to include DirectDraw with hardware acceleration, replacing the deprecated graphics component of GAPI.

Windows Mobile 6 is powered by Windows CE 5. Functionally, it works much like Windows Mobile 5, but with much better stability. Along with the announcement of Office Mobile 6.

In addition to the newly included programs with Office Mobile improvements were made to existing applications. A large number of Windows Mobile users are enterprise users business environments were targeted. To aid development for programmers,. To improve security Microsoft added Storage Card Encryption so that encryption keys are lost if device is cold-booted. Further updates both, security and feature, can now also be provided using Operating System Live Update.

Windows Mobile 6. It is a minor upgrade to the Windows Mobile 6 platform with various performance enhancements and a redesigned Home screen featuring horizontal tiles that expand on clicking to display more information, although this new home screen is featured only on Windows Mobile Standard edition.

This was not supported in the Professional edition. Domain Enroll is functionality to connect the device to System Center Mobile Device Manager , a product to manage mobile devices. Aside from the visual and feature distinctions, the underlying CE versions can be used to differentiate WM 6. In WM 6. It was never part of Microsoft’s mobile phone roadmap, and has been described by its chief executive, Steve Ballmer , as “not the full release Microsoft wanted” until the multi-touch -enabled Windows Mobile 7 now replaced by Windows Phone arrived in Along with Windows Mobile 6.

In the months following this release, development shifted from Windows Mobile to its successor Windows Phone. As such no major upgrades were planned or released, although three minor updates; 6. The second minor update was announced on February 2, , along with the Sony Ericsson Aspen which was the first phone to use this version. Touchable tiles replaced soft keys. Additional features include threaded email and Office Mobile The last minor update and the last released version is 6.

It first leaked in January , and was unofficially ported to some Windows Mobile phones. Although Microsoft released a similarly-named Windows 10 Mobile in , this operating system is unrelated to the former Windows Mobile operating systems. There are three main versions of Windows Mobile for various hardware devices: [65].

Windows Mobile for Automotive and Windows Mobile software for Portable Media Centers are among some specialty versions of the platform. Microsoft had over 50 handset partners, [66] when Windows Mobile was still being shipped on new devices.

The operating system has compatibility with Windows Mobile 6. Pocket PCs and personal digital assistants were originally the intended platform for Windows Mobile. These were grouped into two main categories: devices that lacked mobile phone capabilities, and those that included it. Beginning with version 6 devices with this functionality ran “Windows Mobile 6 Professional” and those that lacked it ran “Windows Mobile 6 Classic”.

Microsoft had described these devices as “a handheld device that enables you to store and retrieve e-mail, contacts, appointments, play multimedia files, games, exchange text messages with MSN Messenger, browse the Web, and more”.

Although in the broad sense of the term “Smartphone”, both Pocket PC phones and Microsoft branded Smartphones each fit into this category.

Microsoft’s use of the term “Smartphone” includes only more specific hardware devices that differ from Pocket PC phones.

A USB flash drive also called a thumb drive [1] [note 1] is a data storage device that includes flash memory with an integrated USB interface. It is typically removable, rewritable and much smaller than an optical disc. Most weigh less than 30 g 1 oz. Since first appearing on the market in late , as with virtually all other computer memory devices, storage capacities have risen while prices have dropped. As of March [update] , flash drives with anywhere from 8 to gigabytes GB [4] were frequently sold, while GB and 1 terabyte TB [5] units were less frequent.

Common uses of USB flash drives are for storage, supplementary back-ups , and transferring of computer files. Compared with floppy disks or CDs , they are smaller, faster, have significantly more capacity, and are more durable due to a lack of moving parts.

Additionally, they are less vulnerable to electromagnetic interference than floppy disks, and are unharmed by surface scratches unlike CDs. However, as with any flash storage, data loss from bit leaking due to prolonged lack of electrical power and the possibility of spontaneous controller failure due to poor manufacturing could make it unsuitable for long-term archival of data.

The ability to retain data is affected by the controller’s firmware , internal data redundancy , and error correction algorithms. Until about , most desktop and laptop computers were supplied with floppy disk drives in addition to USB ports, but floppy disk drives became obsolete after widespread adoption of USB ports and the larger USB drive capacity compared to the “1. A flash drive consists of a small printed circuit board carrying the circuit elements and a USB connector, insulated electrically and protected inside a plastic, metal, or rubberized case, which can be carried in a pocket or on a key chain, for example.

The USB connector may be protected by a removable cap or by retracting into the body of the drive, although it is not likely to be damaged if unprotected.

Most flash drives use a standard type-A USB connection allowing connection with a port on a personal computer, but drives for other interfaces also exist e.

Some devices combine the functionality of a portable media player with USB flash storage; they require a battery only when used to play music on the go. The basis for USB flash drives is flash memory , a type of floating-gate semiconductor memory invented by Fujio Masuoka in the early s. Multiple individuals have staked a claim to being the inventor of the USB flash drive.

Given these competing claims to inventorship, patent disputes involving the USB flash drive have arisen over the years. Flash drives are often measured by the rate at which they transfer data.

By , the maximum available storage capacity for the devices had reached upwards of GB. Through , the majority of laptop models still contained only USB 2. In January , tech company Kingston, released a flash drive with 1 TB of storage. Internals of a typical USB flash drive.

On a USB flash drive, one end of the device is fitted with a single USB plug ; some flash drives additionally offer a micro USB plug, facilitating data transfers between different devices. Inside the casing is a small printed circuit board, which has some power circuitry and a small number of surface-mounted integrated circuits ICs.

Drives typically use the USB mass storage device class to communicate with the host. Flash memory combines a number of older technologies, with lower cost, lower power consumption and small size made possible by advances in semiconductor device fabrication technology. These had limited capacity, were slow for both reading and writing, required complex high-voltage drive circuitry, and could be re-written only after erasing the entire contents of the chip.

Hardware designers later developed EEPROMs with the erasure region broken up into smaller “fields” that could be erased individually without affecting the others. Altering the contents of a particular memory location involved copying the entire field into an off-chip buffer memory, erasing the field, modifying the data as required in the buffer, and re-writing it into the same field.

Flash drives are more or less a miniaturized version of this. The development of high-speed serial data interfaces such as USB made semiconductor memory systems with serially accessed storage viable, and the simultaneous development of small, high-speed, low-power microprocessor systems allowed this to be incorporated into extremely compact systems.

Serial access requires far fewer electrical connections for the memory chips than does parallel access , which has simplified the manufacture of multi- gigabyte drives. Computers access modern [update] flash memory systems very much like hard disk drives, where the controller system has full control over where information is actually stored.

The actual EEPROM writing and erasure processes are, however, still very similar to the earlier systems described above. Many low-cost MP3 players simply add extra software and a battery to a standard flash memory control microprocessor so it can also serve as a music playback decoder.

Most of these players can also be used as a conventional flash drive, for storing files of any type. Most USB flash drives weigh less than 30 g 1 oz. Because the USB port connectors on a computer housing are often closely spaced, plugging a flash drive into a USB port may block an adjacent port.

Such devices may carry the USB logo only if sold with a separate extension cable. USB flash drives have been integrated into other commonly carried items, such as watches, pens, laser pointers, and even the Swiss Army Knife ; others have been fitted with novelty cases such as toy cars or Lego bricks.

USB flash drives with images of dragons, cats or aliens are very popular in Asia. Also, standard FAT maintenance utilities e.

However, because a flash drive appears as a USB-connected hard drive to the host system, the drive can be reformatted to any file system supported by the host operating system. Flash drives can be defragmented. There is a widespread opinion that defragmenting brings little advantage as there is no mechanical head that moves from fragment to fragment , and that defragmenting shortens the life of the drive by making many unnecessary writes. Some file systems are designed to distribute usage over an entire memory device without concentrating usage on any part e.

Some USB flash drives have this ‘ wear leveling ‘ feature built into the software controller to prolong device life, while others do not, so it is not necessarily helpful to install one of these file systems. Sectors are bytes long, for compatibility with hard disk drives, and the first sector can contain a master boot record and a partition table.

Therefore, USB flash units can be partitioned just like hard disk drives. The memory in flash drives was commonly engineered with multi-level cell MLC based memory that is good for around 3,, program-erase cycles. As a result, a USB flash drive can last from a few days to several hundred years. Regardless of the endurance of the memory itself, the USB connector hardware is specified to withstand only around 1, insert-removal cycles.

Counterfeit USB flash drives are sometimes sold with claims of having higher capacities than they actually have. These are typically low capacity USB drives whose flash memory controller firmware is modified so that they emulate larger capacity drives for example, a 2 GB drive being marketed as a 64 GB drive. When plugged into a computer, they report themselves as being the larger capacity they were sold as, but when data is written to them, either the write fails, the drive freezes up, or it overwrites existing data.

Software tools exist to check and detect fake USB drives, [48] [49] and in some cases it is possible to repair these devices to remove the false capacity information and use its real storage limit.

Transfer speeds are technically determined by the slowest of three factors: the USB version used, the speed in which the USB controller device can read and write data onto the flash memory, and the speed of the hardware bus , especially in the case of add-on USB ports. These speeds are for optimal conditions; real-world speeds are usually slower.

In particular, circumstances that often lead to speeds much lower than advertised are transfer particularly writing of many small files rather than a few very large ones, and mixed reading and writing to the same device.

In a typical well-conducted review of a number of high-performance USB 3. The examples given are chosen to illustrate extremes. The most common use of flash drives is to transport and store personal files, such as documents, pictures and videos. Individuals also store medical information on flash drives for emergencies and disaster preparation. With wide deployment s of flash drives being used in various environments secured or otherwise , the issue of data and information security remains important.

The use of biometrics and encryption is becoming the norm with the need for increased security for data; on-the-fly encryption systems are particularly useful in this regard, as they can transparently encrypt large amounts of data.

In some cases a secure USB drive may use a hardware-based encryption mechanism that uses a hardware module instead of software for strongly encrypting data. COFEE is a set of applications designed to search for and extract digital evidence on computers confiscated from suspects. Usually, new firmware image is downloaded and placed onto a FAT16 – or FAT32 -formatted USB flash drive connected to a system which is to be updated, and path to the new firmware image is selected within the update component of system’s firmware.

Also, HP has introduced a USB floppy drive key , which is an ordinary USB flash drive with additional possibility for performing floppy drive emulation, allowing its usage for updating system firmware where direct usage of USB flash drives is not supported.

Desired mode of operation either regular USB mass storage device or of floppy drive emulation is made selectable by a sliding switch on the device’s housing. Most current PC firmware permits booting from a USB drive, allowing the launch of an operating system from a bootable flash drive. Such a configuration is known as a Live USB. Original flash memory designs had very limited estimated lifetimes. The failure mechanism for flash memory cells is analogous to a metal fatigue mode; the device fails by refusing to write new data to specific cells that have been subject to many read-write cycles over the device’s lifetime.

Originally, this potential failure mode limited the use of “live USB” system to special-purpose applications or temporary tasks, such as:. As of [update] , newer flash memory designs have much higher estimated lifetimes. Several manufacturers are now offering warranties of 5 years or more. Such warranties should make the device more attractive for more applications. By reducing the probability of the device’s premature failure, flash memory devices can now be considered for use where a magnetic disk would normally have been required.

Flash drives have also experienced an exponential growth in their storage capacity over time following the Moore’s Law growth curve. As of , single-packaged devices with capacities of 1 TB are readily available, [59] and devices with 16 GB capacity are very economical.

Storage capacities in this range have traditionally been considered to offer adequate space, because they allow enough space for both the operating system software and some free space for the user’s data. Installers of some operating systems can be stored to a flash drive instead of a CD or DVD, including various Linux distributions , Windows 7 and newer versions, and macOS.

In particular, Mac OS X However, for installation of Windows 7 and later versions, using USB flash drive with hard disk drive emulation as detected in PC’s firmware is recommended in order to boot from it. Transcend is the only manufacturer of USB flash drives containing such feature. Flash drives are used to carry applications that run on the host computer without requiring installation. While any standalone application can in principle be used this way, many programs store data, configuration information, etc.

The U3 company works with drive makers parent company SanDisk as well as others to deliver custom versions of applications designed for Microsoft Windows from a special flash drive; U3-compatible devices are designed to autoload a menu when plugged into a computer running Windows. Applications must be modified for the U3 platform not to leave any data on the host machine. U3 also provides a software framework for independent software vendors interested in their platform.

Ceedo is an alternative product, with the key difference that it does not require Windows applications to be modified in order for them to be carried and run on the drive. Similarly, other application virtualization solutions and portable application creators , such as VMware ThinApp for Windows or RUNZ for Linux can be used to run software from a flash drive without installation.

In October , Apple Inc. A wide range of portable applications which are all free of charge, and able to run off a computer running Windows without storing anything on the host computer’s drives or registry, can be found in the list of portable software.

Some value-added resellers are now using a flash drive as part of small-business turnkey solutions e. The drive is used as a backup medium: at the close of business each night, the drive is inserted, and a database backup is saved to the drive.

Alternatively, the drive can be left inserted through the business day, and data regularly updated.

Despite the strong reliability of computing hardware, you need to consider the risk of failure either through environmental damage or malicious activity. Backing up your data can take two forms: a series of periodic snapshots, or incremental updates to an initial copy.

The choice of the strategy that you will choose will depend on the stability of your environment. For example, it is more common in development environments to take complete periodic copies of all data in case a programmer makes an erroneous change to the software, causing data to be incorrectly adjusted.

Incremental backups are much quicker to perform. Simply copying the contents of one server onto storage media or another server kept on the same site might not be enough. Fire or flooding at your premises will destroy your backup device as well as the original server. It is a better plan to copy your data to a device that is physically located elsewhere. Thanks to the internet, the transfer of this data can be set up to run automatically as a background process without needing to use a portable storage medium.

Internet data transfers should always be protected with authentication procedures and encryption. You also need to make sure that data confidentiality is guaranteed at the backup site if it is a location that is not run by your organization.

You have a lot of options when seeking an offsite facility for backup. Thanks to stiff competition, the rental of space on Cloud servers has become very cheap. There are also syncing offers to consider, which combine the software and the space needed to back up your servers in one service package.

We have taken into account the many different circumstances that any business would be in when needing to back up a server. We also looked at the software packages available and the Cloud backup services that have all of the management software bundled in with the storage subscription price. We reviewed the market for server backup systems and analyzed the options based on the following criteria:.

NinjaOne Backup is part of a cloud platform of tools that are aimed at managed service providers MSPs. However, this system would also be useful for IT departments to manage in-house data protection, especially for multiple sites.

The cloud delivery model provides the processors to run the backup software and also cloud storage space. That file space for backup repositories is secured by bit AES encryption. Each protected endpoint needs an agent running on it. That program implements the backup strategy that is defined by the settings that the user selects in the Web-based console for the backup system. Data transfers from the protected server up to the NinjaOne system are also protected by bit AES encryption, as are transfers back to restore data.

The processing services and file space of the NinjaOne system are segmented with different keys for the AES encryption to make it impossible for the users of one client account to get at the data of another client. As it is based in the cloud, NinjaOne Backup is not limited to operating on one network and can protect servers and desktops anywhere in the world, grouped together within one client account.

The system is also able to protect the computers of home-based workers , offering a self-service portal to enable users to trigger data recovery. The users of the NinjaOne system have a choice of backup strategies. These options include disk or OS imaging.

It is also possible to backup server drives at block level. Other options are file-level and application-centered backups. The backup system can perform full, differential, and incremental backups and it is possible to sequence combinations of full and partial backups. You can watch a demo to assess the NinjaOne Backup system or access a day free trial. NinjaOne Backup is our top pick for server backup software because it can provide file-level backup as well as whole disk imaging services.

The package is a SaaS platform and is designed to maximize the efficiency of technical staff and empower users to manage their own recovery processes in the event of accidental loss. This centralized service can manage the backup of endpoints anywhere in the world, which is great for the current growth in home-based working. Businesses can use this tool to manage servers and desktops on multiple sites. However, the multi-tenanted system is ideal for use by managed service providers.

However, the tool can be bought and operated separately; it is a suitable backup utility for in-house use as well as a necessary facility for companies that run services for other companies.

The backup system is more than software because it includes the provision of storage space on remote servers. The backup service can manage the contents of virtual servers as well as physical servers. Servers can be backed up right down to, and including, the operating system. It is also possible to back up the contents of workstations.

You can create a central document store backup with the tool and also back up mail servers running Microsoft Exchange. Sharepoint files and MySQL databases can be replicated with this system. If you use OneDrive for a cloud-based file server, you can back that up with N-able Backup. Data transfers in this environment deploy compression to speed up backup and recovery times. Rather than running one central data center, N-able has service points strategically placed around the globe.

Both transfers and storage are protected by AES encryption with a bit key — the strongest encryption in commercial use today. This encryption is applied end-to-end, which means that there is no intermediate point in the connection where snoopers or even data center staff can access your data.

Updates to files can be archived , letting you access earlier versions to restore. Restoration of data can be performed bare metal, physical-to-virtual, or virtual-to-virtual. The N-able Backup console enables you to command any of these scenarios and the backup software takes care of all the detailed tasks needed to get your data recovered.

N-able Cove Data Protection is available on a day free trial. Barracuda MSP specializes in providing tools to managed service providers that support small and middle-sized enterprises.

Intronis Backup is one of the tools offered by this provider. The system is multi-tenanted and includes cloud storage space that can also be suitably separated per client.

The dashboards for the tool can be white-labeled , so it would be possible to give access to clients while still enforcing your brand image. Intronis Backup caters to every type of backup that you could need. These include application-level backups so you can create specific stores for key services, such as email. A total backup for a bare-metal restore is also possible.

This is a management system for backup and disaster recovery so it will also manage the restoration of systems, should a disaster occur. These restore functions can also be applied to new servers, adding a replication service to the package.

This means that you can safely plug the Intronis system into other environments without risking losing the ability to track activity for billing. The plans for Intronis are charged for per client. However, each plan comes with a specific capacity of storage space, so you have to be careful about which plan you choose because you could end up paying for space that you will never use, or underestimate and face running out of space. You have to contact the company to request a quote. The Intronis Backup service is available on a day free trial.

Rather than backing up entire servers down to bare metal, this tool will protect the data and settings of specific applications.

If you use both on-premises and cloud systems, you can backup all of them with the same RecoveryManager Plus package. The RecoveryManager Plus system focuses on Active Directory implementations and provides easy-to-manage recovery processes for objects within your domain controllers. File protection services in the system focus on OneDrive and SharePoint cloud accounts. However, if you sync on-site files with those accounts, you can get your onsite file servers backed up by bouncing them through your cloud accounts.

If you gave your users Google Workspaces for the corporate productivity suite, you can get that backed up with RecoveryManager Plus as well. The system is offered in two editions: Free and Standard. The Free edition is limited to managing user accounts in one AD domain and it will run backups weekly.

The Standard edition will backup more frequently — up to continuously on an incremental basis and it can be used for many domains. ManageEngine offers a day free trial of the Standard edition. If you choose not to buy at the end of the trial period, your RecoveryManager Plus package will switch over to the Free edition.

The service is available to protect physical, virtual, and cloud systems. You buy the service for a specific platform. You can use this system to backup and recover individual files or entire servers. The Vembu BDR system can be used for application-specifc backups. The service offers a degree of automation for copying and returning data. Each backup process is not declared complete until a verification scan has been passed.

If a problem occurred during the backup, the whole process is flagged — you can set it to automatically reload, but if there is a fundamental problem it would just recycle again and again. Data transfers are protected by encryption and made faster through comprssion. That encoding is retained for the data in storage to provide security and save space. There features save time for both backup and recovery. The service is packaged in two versions.

Storage is an optional extra, so you are not limited in your choice of repository location. You can also implement a multiple location backup strategy, storing both locally and remotely.

The implementation of your backup strategy also gives you lots of options , for example, you can decide how extensive you want the storage of virtualization data to be — just the mappings to VMs or the entire structure. You can also backup a whole server, taking virtualization with it.

The physical system backup can operate for servers running Windows Server or Linux and there is a workstation version that covers devices running Windows or macOS. You can put BDR Suite through its paces with a day free trial. Acronis Cyber Protect is a bundle of security systems for fleets of endpoints. It can back up servers, desktops, and mobile devices. The system is based in the cloud, so it is able to unify the management and protection of devices anywhere.

Caller ID now supports photos so a user can apply an image to each contact to show when a call is received. DirectShow was also natively added. This release was the first to include DirectDraw with hardware acceleration, replacing the deprecated graphics component of GAPI. Windows Mobile 6 is powered by Windows CE 5. Functionally, it works much like Windows Mobile 5, but with much better stability.

Along with the announcement of Office Mobile 6. In addition to the newly included programs with Office Mobile improvements were made to existing applications. A large number of Windows Mobile users are enterprise users business environments were targeted.

To aid development for programmers,. To improve security Microsoft added Storage Card Encryption so that encryption keys are lost if device is cold-booted. Further updates both, security and feature, can now also be provided using Operating System Live Update. Windows Mobile 6. It is a minor upgrade to the Windows Mobile 6 platform with various performance enhancements and a redesigned Home screen featuring horizontal tiles that expand on clicking to display more information, although this new home screen is featured only on Windows Mobile Standard edition.

This was not supported in the Professional edition. Domain Enroll is functionality to connect the device to System Center Mobile Device Manager , a product to manage mobile devices.

Aside from the visual and feature distinctions, the underlying CE versions can be used to differentiate WM 6. In WM 6. It was never part of Microsoft’s mobile phone roadmap, and has been described by its chief executive, Steve Ballmer , as “not the full release Microsoft wanted” until the multi-touch -enabled Windows Mobile 7 now replaced by Windows Phone arrived in Along with Windows Mobile 6.

In the months following this release, development shifted from Windows Mobile to its successor Windows Phone. As such no major upgrades were planned or released, although three minor updates; 6. The second minor update was announced on February 2, , along with the Sony Ericsson Aspen which was the first phone to use this version. Touchable tiles replaced soft keys.

Additional features include threaded email and Office Mobile The last minor update and the last released version is 6. It first leaked in January , and was unofficially ported to some Windows Mobile phones. Although Microsoft released a similarly-named Windows 10 Mobile in , this operating system is unrelated to the former Windows Mobile operating systems. There are three main versions of Windows Mobile for various hardware devices: [65].

Windows Mobile for Automotive and Windows Mobile software for Portable Media Centers are among some specialty versions of the platform. Microsoft had over 50 handset partners, [66] when Windows Mobile was still being shipped on new devices. The operating system has compatibility with Windows Mobile 6. Pocket PCs and personal digital assistants were originally the intended platform for Windows Mobile.

These were grouped into two main categories: devices that lacked mobile phone capabilities, and those that included it. Beginning with version 6 devices with this functionality ran “Windows Mobile 6 Professional” and those that lacked it ran “Windows Mobile 6 Classic”. Microsoft had described these devices as “a handheld device that enables you to store and retrieve e-mail, contacts, appointments, play multimedia files, games, exchange text messages with MSN Messenger, browse the Web, and more”.

Although in the broad sense of the term “Smartphone”, both Pocket PC phones and Microsoft branded Smartphones each fit into this category.

Microsoft’s use of the term “Smartphone” includes only more specific hardware devices that differ from Pocket PC phones. Such Smartphones were originally designed without touchscreens , intended to be operated more efficiently with only one hand, and typically had lower display resolution than Pocket PCs.

Microsoft’s focus for the Smartphone platform was to create a device that functioned well as a phone and data device in a more integrated manner. Windows Mobile’s share of the smartphone market grew from its inception while new devices were being released. After peaking in , [72] it saw decline year-on-year. In Q4 Microsoft shipped 2. Software could be developed by third parties for the Windows Mobile operating system.

Developers had several options for deploying mobile applications. NET Compact Framework was a subset of the. NET Framework and hence shared many components with software development on desktop clients, application servers, and web servers which had the. NET Framework installed, thus integrating networked computing space.

To aid developers Microsoft released software development kits SDKs that worked in conjunction with their Visual Studio development environment. These SDKs included emulator images for developers to test and debug their applications while writing them.

Software could be tested on a client machine directly or be downloaded to a device. Some third party development environments allowed coding to be done on the device itself without the need for a computer. Developer communities have used the SDK to port later versions of Windows Mobile OS to older devices and making the OS images available for free, thus providing the devices with newer feature sets.

Microsoft had tolerated this procedure for some time but decided in February to ask developers to take their OS images off the net, which in turn raised discussions.

On July 5, , Microsoft opened a third-party application distribution service called Windows Marketplace for Mobile. In the early years of Windows Mobile devices were able to be managed and synced from a remote computer using ActiveSync ; a data synchronization technology and protocol developed by Microsoft , originally released in This allowed servers running Microsoft Exchange Server , or other third party variants, to act as a personal information manager and share information such as email, calendar appointments, contacts or internet favorites.

Device Center is included with Vista and Windows 7 and provides many front end enhancements, allowing a home user to sync PIM information with Microsoft Outlook and later, photos from Windows Photo Gallery, videos or music from Windows Media Player and favorites with Internet Explorer; without the need for a server back end. This one is an absolute home run in my book!!! By Eric Foster on September 10, I bought this for a family member who had lost the remote to his TV and needed a new one.

And the replacement would’ve been more expensive. After trying all the Haier codes none of which worked , I attempted to do the “Automatic code finding method”, which found the code for the TV. So if none of the codes provided work for your TV, don’t give up! Try the automatic code finding method in the manual. I love the sleek design and small form factor. It feels nice in the hand. Definitely recommend and will buy more if I need spare remotes in the future!

The input button doesn’t work at all and the power button only works sometimes. It’s not a problem with programing because 1 I have programmed many universal remotes and know how to do it almost by heart and 2 the volume controls always works. Also I’ve only had this remote for two weeks and the silicone of the power button popped out.

I’m in the process of returning the remote. Very disappointed and it’s the worst universal remote I’ve ever owned. I’ve never been this upset and inconvenienced from returning a package! We lost the remote for our Samsung TV and it got pretty old having to get up and turn it on or turn down the volume it’s ! I ordered this not ever having used or set up a universal remote and once I popped the batteries in it just started working! Thank baby jesus! I didn’t have to do any of the programming stuff since it is pre-set for Samsung TV’s.

I was worried, but couldn’t make it easier than that. If you have a Samsung TV, get this! The price is right and it’s pre-programmed. See all reviews. Top reviews from other countries. Translate all reviews to English. Not good for modern devices. Read to see why Not even the “input” button works! Instead, it would do some weird function of “saving channel” Also, I have a Vizio Soundbar which I recommend getting in another review but this remote doesn’t have a “bluetooth” button like the soundbar does.

And this is after spending 30 minutes trying to get the codes right! I’m sure it’s good for simple purposes, but not for modern purposes. Reviewed in Canada on November 2, This is a very good replacement remote or adjunct to one on which some keys have stopped working. It covers all of the major functions of my TV and also my cable box as I discovered through experimenting.

However, at first it seemed like it was able to perform only the very basic functions on my 6-year old Toshiba TV like powering on or changing channels, but that others source selection, TV configuration menu were either unavailable or were working wonkily. That’s because I used the codes listed in the enclosed instructions. I then went to the manufacturer’s Web site byjasco.

The first one I tried worked perfectly and I can now use the remote fully for my TV. I do not know if it works for Apple TV or networking capabilities since I do not find those things relevant for my needs and it would be picayune for me to complain about that. It would be a good idea for GE to include a more useful and up-to-date version of the codes list in the packaging or to simply direct people to go to the Web site as a first step.

Storage Space comment: Yep, read that comment. Yeah, I checked and the selected drives are online, and I can put files over to the two test drives with no problems. However it does NOT wipe out the other drives, which contain my old storage space. Good suggestion about looking in the essentials board — thanks for the link and the suggestion to stay out of trouble! There were no errors, and the storage space was recognized just fine by the server Dashboard. Once everything is working properly i.

Windows 10 version is a complete and utter mess IMHO. Apparently when Windows 10 gets updated to version , it wreaks havoc on the installed Windows Server Essentials Connector software i. Optional After the above program has been successfully uninstalled from the client computer, manually delete the following folders from the client computer if they happen to still exist:. Optional Delete the following registry key branches using Regedit.

Connect computers to a Windows Server Essentials server without joining the domain. Get Connected in Windows Server Essentials. I actually run into this issue quite a bit with W10 bi-yearly updates screwing up the WSE connector on W10 computers joined to a domain. It creates a registry entry that makes it so that when you reinstall WSE connector on domain joined computer, it will skip the domain join step and just install the connector software.

I found this information here Connect computers to a Windows Server Essentials server without joining the domain. Yes as mentioned above , the SkipDomainJoin connection method is well documented by Microsoft over on their website:. Hi, Thanks for this. We upgraded from server Essentials to server standard before realising essentials was no longer included. I was planning on upgrading to a newer Windows server OS soon. I would like to still use the Essentials server roll option that Microsoft removed after server Yes, the client backup feature in all versions of Windows Server Essentials i.

They just want client backup feature available for use. Yes the client backup feature does indeed work under the Essentials SKU. Thus, you might as well give them a platform that is fully supported by Microsoft. I hate that Microsoft abandon Server Essentinal with this great feature. I tried a test installation in a VM. Everything is working except third party plug-ins. There is no error during installation. Do I have to copy some other Files or modify anything else?

Very strange. Glad to hear that you got the add-ins working in a different VM though. Not a single file is modified nor altered in any way. Third party add-ins are indeed fully supported i. Your best bet there would be to contact the manufacturer of the add-in directly and ask them about it.

I got it running following your instructions above, but am continuing to see a problem which also existed in Essentials where the storage service gets confused and declares a folder offline even though the underlying disk still exists.

The generally accepted workaround according to Missing server folder alert, but folder is still present! Is it possible that registration of the event sources got missed in your instructions above? Thanks for figuring it out! As is mentioned at the top of the manual install steps shown above, the steps only represent the bare minimum that is required in order to get Windows Server Essentials Experience installed, and working, on Windows Server If someone is looking for a straight forward easy, complete, and proper install, then we suggest using the WSEE Installer package instead.

I have a couple of quick questions. My original WSEE server was demoted and removed from the domain, blanked, reinstalled fresh as , re-joined to the domain, and started at your steps from there. Does the WSEE config process in fact promote the member server to a domain controller? If not, can the member server be promoted to a domain controller AFTER the config process has completed successfully?

If you want to keep the domain name and server name from your old Essentials server, just be sure that the old server is offline, and then use the exact same domain name and server name when configuring your new Windows Server with WSEE installation i.

Unless you have lots of users, and have heavily modified your Active Directory, Group Policy, etc. Whereas, on a normal installation of WSEE, the server will automatically get configured as a primary domain controller for you as part of the Essentials configuration process. I myself have never tried installing WSEE on a server that was already configured as a domain controller. The key for me was understanding whether or not WSEE configuration was attempting to promote the member server to a domain controller during the process.

It was the first server in the environment, created the new domain etc. Thank you Mike!! Promoted that server to a secondary domain controller for the DOM domain 3. I checked the box and clicked OK, but then the installer disappeared and nothing seemingly happened.

I looked around for any running processes none and checked the new Server Essentials deployment Event Log that the MSI created in my Event Viewer but nothing no events. On first logon after reboot, the Windows Server Essentials configuration wizard launched.

I cancelled the wizard without completing it. Restored data from backup to ServerFolders. Kudos on making the migration work, and a big thanks for sharing how you accomplished it with others here. It might have something to do with the state of the migrated server. That being said… If it happens to anyone else, then they can simply restart the server as you did , or they can just manually run the wizard by executing the following program anytime after the main installation has successfully completed, or after any subsequent restart of the server that takes place during the Essentials configuration process :.

Have you seen this behavior? I was making an assumption that functionality would have been deprecated in Windows and not likely to come over with the WSEE installation.

Here are the rules:. The Server Infrastructure Licensing service silsvc. And yes, I do recall reading that the grace period is more accurately represented as 28 days vs Typical Microsoft.

BTW, quick question for you… May I ask why you opted to cancel the configuration wizard and then manually run the Start-WssConfigurationService PowerShell command without any arguments instead? Was that not the case? I know… WTF? Also, I read somewhere on this page that you advised somebody else not to run the Configuration Wizard, but instead to run the PowerShell command, because you assumed the Wizard would fail during role check, since the actual role did not exist and was not installed.

PowerShell Good! I had a bad feeling that the Wizard would either fail and hose my WSEE installation, or possibly even worse it might succeed and hose my working domain. I actually think the wizard would have worked just fine for you. I suppose that in those other comments you reference that I made, I was indeed probably just assuming that it would fail. No harm, no foul, on your config though seeing as the wizard simply executes the PowerShell command in exactly the same way as you did manually.

Good to know that it will work without it and that it will just use the credentials of the signed in admin when omitted. Doing this will cause client computers to go into a strange state when reconnected to the server. Excellent tip! Thanks again for sharing your findings with everyone. I install missing updates. I guess, given this information, the issue is more of a nuisance than an actual problem. I undid and re-implemented the suggestions with several reboots in between, but it seems whatever damage was done, was done permanently.

Has anyone been able to get it working? Mine was a fresh build, not an in-place upgrade. Specifically, the authentication method used by the server to verify your username and password may not match the authentication method configured in your connection profile. Please contact the Administrator of the RAS server and notify them of this error. All other Essentials Tests except the Role Install pass. Thankfully, WSE RemoteApp works beautifully, so I do still have remote access to my network resources, but it would be really nice to get Anywhere Access working.

However, after doing some research and testing, I believe that the VPN connection issues can be resolved by performing the following steps:. Connect to your Essentials server via a standard Remote Desktop Connection, etc. Sort the Logs folder by date modified which will place the most recently modified log files up at the top , open the log files in Notepad, and the newest entries will be located down at the bottom of the log file.

Announcing Windows Storage Server Thanks for your answer. Or do I need to do a fresh install? Thanks for your comprehensive answer. The installation first failed and reverted back to Windows Storage Server. Only when I selected not to install updates during installation, the installation succeeded. Please any advice where i messed up? Start-WssConfigurationService : The term ‘Start-WssConfigurationService’ is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.

Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again. From what I can gather it appears that the problem stems from the Windows Server Essentials services not starting properly even though they have been properly configured to start Automatically during the configuration of Essentials.

There are a total of 8 Windows Server Essentials services, and all but the email services should be started. Works great for both file and bare metal restores. Thanks Nathan. If Windows Server Essentials is working just fine for you, then there should be no real reason for you to make the upgrade to Windows Server with WSEE installed. I imagine that, if it is possible, it will be a fairly involved process.

Mike, Thank you for the comprehensive instructions. Have you run across this, or have any suggestion on where to troubleshoot this? Have you checked your network router, firewall, etc. For a bit more info see:. If you do not want this server to be a domain controller, join this server to your domain by using the Windows native tools.

RemoteApp programs, etc. However, you can also opt to join a server that has WSEE installed on it to an existing i. However, in your case from what I understand , your existing server is already configured as a primary domain controller, and you just want to add the WSEE server role to it. In that case, when you configure WSEE on your server, it will discover that the server is already a domain controller, and it will allow you to complete the WSEE configuration on the existing domain controller instead of having to join it to a separate domain controller or create a brand new domain controller from scratch.

Thus, you should just proceed with the WSEE configuration once it i. For more info see:. NOTE : The connector software will automatically join the client computer to your domain by default. Are you saying that you already have the Windows Server Essentials Connector software installed on your client computers? If so, then I assume that you had them connected up to an older version of Essentials e. For more info see here and here. G mentions in the last link that I linked you to in my prior reply, where he sets the SkipDomainJoin registry value on the already joined clients, and then installs the connector software in order to force the connector software to skip the domain join part of the installation process since the client is already joined to the domain.

Then go ahead and delete the SkipDomainJoin registry value after the installation completes. Mike, this is the final post! All computers are now showing up under devices!

Client backups work, Anywhere Access works, Shares work, etc! For anyone that has Server Standard and you previously joined the clients to the domain manually.. These two links were invaluable: — Connect computers to a Windows Server Essentials server without joining the domain — Comment by MR. Thank you for the follow up post to let everyone know what worked for you when installing WSEE on a server that has already been configured as a domain controller prior to installing WSEE on it , and when installing the Windows Server Essentials Connector software on client computers that have already been joined to the domain prior to installing the connector software on them.

Great job! Great work, BTW! The dism works and I end up with a folder Server-Mount which contains all the Server folders in it. No files, such as Policy. Later on i. I hope that makes sense. If you enjoy tinkering with servers, then by all means, please do have at it. I may well ultimately purchase one of your products for my main production build. Also, will your product work if the Server is a DC? Q: How does Work Folders compare to other Microsoft sync technologies?

Why would someone use both? Hats off to you for publishing this on the Web. I do have a few observations, however, and just wondering if other people are seeing the same things I moved the various settings and files from one VM to the other using a shared virtual disk. When I ran the second command, after about 20 seconds, I got a message saying that the Company Name was in use, so I changed the Company Name in the command to I see that others have had this issue so I left it off and checked the Windows Update settings later Everything looked good, with a working Dashboard and full functionality.

However, there are a few puzzles However, this did not happen. I am trying to join a Standard server to an existing WSE I had it all working but got spooked because it looked like the server was holding or taking FSMO roles away from the wse Part of the reason to do this is to eventually demote the wse server because we are at 36 users and even though I have 40 licenses for , I do not think they are valid for the WSE and it must go away.

I want to use DFS to sync the data folders to the new server, then move folder redirection, then demote and pull the First off, you cannot have multiple Essentials servers running within the same network when they are acting as a primary domain controller holding all of the FSMO roles which is the default configuration for an Essentials server. The only way that you can run multiple Essentials servers on the same network is if they are each running as member servers where they are domain-joined to a completely separate domain controller.

Enabling multiple instances of Windows Server Essentials Experience in your environment. Join a second server to the network. Step 2: Install Windows Server Essentials as a new replica domain controller. And, another user has very kindly posted the steps that he took for doing a successful domain migration here.

Thanks for your comments, I am reworking my process. I did successfully join the existing WSE domain and get the essentials role installed on standard, I did the join just before the Start-WssConfigurationService. Thanks for the links. I will probably go with Mariattes server-essentials tools. I believe I added the AD roles to the member server incorrectly before. Thanks for pointing that out for everyone.

Are you aware of a way to disable TLS 1. We are all being told to disable these but it appears that WSE is deeply dependent on them. I know that if I disable TLS 1. It seems like Microsoft is not going to update this role to newer requirements. Also that Office integration will require TLS 1. You can still harden the security on an Essentials server by disabling many of the other insecure protocols, ciphers, etc.

In fact, in my WSE RemoteApp add-in, I implement a script and other security settings that automates all of this hardening stuff for my customers while still leaving TLS 1. Basically, Microsoft needs to recompile the assemblies being used by Essentials so that they support a higher version of the. Unfortunately, Essentials is pretty much considered to be abandonware by Microsoft now, and so unless something really forces their hand on this issue such as a major security breach in this area, etc.

Without Microsoft directly implementing the fix within their own assemblies or possibly by some other forceful means within the. One can only hope that Microsoft will eventually step up and natively implement TLS 1. See this comment below for a bit more info.

Additional testing is most definitely warranted here before folks proceed with implementing it on a production server IMHO. Mea culpa! Someone needs to buy that Joe Mills bloke a beer for figuring this one out! When you choose to disable TLS 1. REG file that can be run on all of your client computers in order to add the required.

As this is all i use dont use the backup or anything else, just the domain name for access to emby server and my router. It was launched as a software client in September as a way for Valve to provide automatic updates for their games, and expanded to distributing and offering third-party game publishers ‘ titles in late Steam offers various features, like digital rights management DRM , game server matchmaking and anti-cheat measures , and social networking and game streaming services. It provides the user with automatic game updating, saved game cloud synchronization, and community features such as friends messaging, in-game chat and a community market.

Valve released a freely available application programming interface API called Steamworks in , which developers can use to integrate Steam’s functions into their products, including in-game achievements, microtransactions , and user-created content support. Mobile apps to access online Steam features were first released for iOS and Android in The platform also offers other digital content and Valve gaming hardware, including productivity software, game soundtracks, videos and VR headset Valve Index.

Valve had entered into a publishing contract with Sierra Studios in ahead of the release of Half-Life. The contract had given some intellectual property IP rights to Sierra in addition to publishing control. Valve published additional games through Sierra, including expansions for Half-Life and Counter-Strike. Around , as Valve started work on Half-Life 2 and the new Source engine , they became concerned about their contract with Sierra related to the IP rights, and the two companies negotiated a new contract by The new contract eliminated Sierra’s IP rights and gave Valve rights to digital distribution of its games.

Valve was looking for a way to better update its published games as provide downloadable patches for multiplayer games resulted in most of the online user base disconnecting for several days until players had installed the patch. Valve decided to create a platform that would update games automatically and implement stronger anti-piracy and anti-cheat measures.

Steam’s development began in , with working names for the platform being “Grid” and “Gazelle”. Prior to the announcement of Steam, Valve found that Sierra had been distributing their games in PC cafes which they claimed was against the terms of the contract, and took Sierra and their owners, Vivendi Games , to court in Sierra countersued, asserting that with the announcement of Steam, Valve had been working to undermine the contract to offer a digital storefront for their games, directly competing with Sierra.

The case was initially ruled in Valve’s favor, allowing them to leave the contract due to the breach and seek other publishing partners for retail copies of its games while continuing their work on Steam. Between 80, and , players participated in the beta test before Steam’s official release on September 12, In , the World Opponent Network was shut down and replaced by Steam, with any online features of games that required it ceasing to work unless they converted over to Steam.

In November , Half-Life 2 was the first game to be offered digitally on Steam and require installation of the Steam client to play for retail copies.

During this time users faced problems attempting to play the game. By May of that year, 13 million accounts had been created on the service, and games were for sale on the platform. Electronic Arts removed some of its games from Steam because of restrictive terms of service in and launched Mass Effect 3 only on its Origin service in Steam’s primary service is to allow its users to download games and other software that they have in their virtual software libraries to their local computers as game cache files GCFs.

Valve intended to “make DRM obsolete” as games released on Steam had traditional anti-piracy measures, including the assignment and distribution of product keys and support for digital rights management software tools such as SecuROM or non-malicious rootkits.

The CEG technology creates a unique, encrypted copy of the game’s executable files for the given user, which allows them to install it multiple times and on multiple devices, and make backup copies of their software. Normally this is done while connected to the Internet following the user’s credential validation, but once they have logged into Steam once, a user can instruct Steam to launch in a special offline mode to be able to play their games without a network connection.

In September , Valve added support for Steam Cloud, a service that can automatically store saved game and related custom files on Valve’s servers; users can access this data from any machine running the Steam client.

Users can disable this feature on a per-game and per-account basis. Steam also offers a framework for selling and distributing downloadable content DLC for games. In September , Steam introduced the ability to share most games with family members and close friends by authorizing machines to access one’s library. Authorized players can install the game locally and play it separately from the owning account.

Users can access their saved games and achievements providing the main owner is not playing. When the main player initiates a game while a shared account is using it, the shared account user is allowed a few minutes to either save their progress and close the game or purchase the game for his or her own account. In accordance with its acceptable use policy , Valve retains the right to block customers’ access to their games and Steam services when Valve’s Anti-Cheat VAC software determines that the user is cheating in multiplayer games, selling accounts to others, or trading games to exploit regional price differences.

The Steam client includes a digital storefront called the Steam Store through which users can purchase computer games. Once the game is bought, a software license is permanently attached to the user’s Steam account, allowing them to download the software on any compatible device.

Game licenses can be given to other accounts under certain conditions. Content is delivered from an international network of servers using a proprietary file transfer protocol.

Since , the Steam Translation Server project offers Steam users to assist with the translation of the Steam client, storefront, and a selected library of Steam games for twenty-eight languages. In February , Steam began to open similar options for in-game item purchases for third-party games.

In conjunction with developers and publishers, Valve frequently provides discounted sales on games on a daily and weekly basis, sometimes oriented around a publisher, genre, or holiday theme, and sometimes allow games to be tried for free during the days of these sales.

The site normally offers a large selection of games at discount during its annual Summer and Holiday sales, including gamification of these sales to incentive users to purchase more games. Users of Steam’s storefront can also purchase games and other software as gifts to be given to another Steam user.

Prior to May , users could purchase these gifts to be held in their profile’s inventory until they opted to gift them. However, this feature enabled a gray market around some games, where a user in a country where the price of a game was substantially lower than elsewhere could stockpile giftable copies of games to sell to others, particularly in regions with much higher prices.

The Steam store also enables users to redeem store product keys to add software from their library. The keys are sold by third-party providers such as Humble Bundle in which a portion of the sale is given back to the publisher or distributor , distributed as part of a physical release to redeem the game, or given to a user as part of promotions, often used to deliver Kickstarter and other crowd funding rewards.

A grey market exists around Steam keys, where less reputable buyers purchase a large number of Steam keys for a game when it is offered for a low cost, and then resell these keys to users or other third-party sites at a higher price, generating profit for themselves.

In , Steam began to accept player reviews of games. Other users can subsequently rate these reviews as helpful, humorous, or otherwise unhelpful, which are then used to highlight the most useful reviews on the game’s Steam store page.

Steam also aggregates these reviews and enables users to sort products based on this feedback while browsing the store. In particular, Valve announced in March that it mark reviews they believe are “off-topic” as a result of a review bomb, and eliminate their contribution to summary review scores; the first such games they took action on with this was the Borderlands games after it was announced Borderlands 3 would be a timed-exclusive to the Epic Games Store.

During mid, Valve began to offer free-to-play games, such as Global Agenda , Spiral Knights and Champions Online ; this offer was linked to the company’s move to make Team Fortress 2 a free-to-play title. Later that year, Valve added the ability to trade in-game items and “unopened” game gifts between users. Steam Coupons can be provided to users by developers and publishers; users can trade these coupons between friends in a similar fashion to gifts and in-game items.

For example, Team Fortress 2 —the first game supported at the beta phase—incurred both fees. Full support for other games was expected to be available in early In October , Steam introduced non-gaming applications, which are sold through the service in the same manner as games.

Valve have also added the ability for publishers to rent and sell digital movies via the service, with initially most being video game documentaries. Entertainment offering the Mad Max films alongside the September release of the game based on the series , [] Lionsgate entered into agreement with Valve to rent over one hundred feature films from its catalog through Steam starting in April , with more films following later.

While Steam allows developers to offer demo versions of their games at any time, Valve worked with Geoff Keighley in in conjunction with The Game Awards to hold a week-long Steam Game Festival to feature a large selection of game demos of current and upcoming games, alongside sales for games already released. A Steam Points system and storefront was added in June , which mirrored similar temporary points systems that had been used in prior sales on the storefront. Users earn points through purchases on Steam or by receiving community recognition for helpful reviews or discussion comments.

These points do not expire as they had in the prior sales, and can be redeemed in the separate storefront for cosmetics that apply to the user’s profile and chat interface.

The popularity of Steam has led to the service’s being attacked by hackers. An attempt occurred in November , when Valve temporarily closed the community forums, citing potential hacking threats to the service. Days later, Valve reported that the hack had compromised one of its customer databases, potentially allowing the perpetrators to access customer information; including encrypted password and credit card details.

At that time, Valve was not aware whether the intruders actually accessed this information or discovered the encryption method, but nevertheless warned users to be alert for fraudulent activity. Valve added Steam Guard functionality to the Steam client in March to protect against the hijacking of accounts via phishing schemes, one of the largest support problems Valve had at the time.

Once locked, activity by that account on other computers must first be approved by the user on the locked computer. In , between Steam-based game inventories, trading cards, and other virtual goods attached to a user’s account, Valve stated that the potential monetary value had drawn hackers to try to access user accounts for financial benefit, and continue to encourage users to secure accounts with Steam Guard, when trading was introduced in To improve security, the company announced that new restrictions would be added in March , under which day holds are placed on traded items unless they activate, and authenticate with Steam Guard Mobile Authenticator.

In July , a bug in the software allowed anyone to reset the password to any account by using the “forgot password” function of the client. High-profile professional gamers and streamers lost access to their accounts. In April , Valve added new privacy settings for Steam users, who are able to set if their current activity status is private, visible to friends only, or public; in addition to being able to hide their game lists, inventory, and other profile elements in a similar manner. While these changes brought Steam’s privacy settings inline with approaches used by game console services, it also impacted third-party services such as Steam Spy , which relied on the public data to estimate Steam sales count.

Valve established a HackerOne bug bounty program in May , a crowdsourced method to test and improve security features of the Steam client. The vulnerability was then reported to Valve via the program, but it was initially rejected for being “out-of-scope”.

Following a second vulnerability found by the same user, Valve apologized and patched them both, and expanded the program’s rules to accept any other similar problems in the future. The Anti-Defamation League published a report that stated the Steam Community platform harbors hateful content in April Since November , Steam has allowed for users to review their purchased games and organize them into categories set by the user and add to favorite lists for quick access.

The Steam interface allows for user-defined shortcuts to be added. In this way, third-party modifications and games not purchased through the Steam Store can use Steam features. Valve sponsors and distributes some modifications free of charge; [] and modifications that use Steamworks can also use VAC, Friends, the server browser, and any Steam features supported by their parent game.

For most games launched from Steam, the client provides an in-game overlay that can be accessed by a keystroke. From the overlay, the user can access his or her Steam Community lists and participate in chat, manage selected Steam settings, and access a built-in web browser without having to exit the game. As a full version on February 24, , this feature was reimplemented so that users could share screenshots on websites of Facebook , Twitter , and Reddit straight from a user’s screenshot manager.

Steam’s “Big Picture” mode was announced in ; [] public betas started in September and were integrated into the software in December Newell stated that Big Picture mode was a step towards a dedicated Steam entertainment hardware unit. In , Valve announced Steam for Schools, a free function-limited version of the Steam client for schools.

It was released alongside free versions of Portal 2 and a standalone program called “Puzzle Maker” that allowed teachers and students to create and manipulate levels. It featured additional authentication security that allowed teachers to share and distribute content via a Steam Workshop-type interface, but blocks access from students.

In-Home Streaming was introduced in May ; it allows users to stream games installed on one computer to another—regardless of platform—on the same home network with low latency. The Steam client, as part of a social network service , allows users to identify friends and join groups using the Steam Community feature. Users can participate in forums hosted by Valve to discuss Steam games. Each user has a unique page that shows his or her groups and friends, game library including earned achievements, game wishlists, and other social features; users can choose to keep this information private.

Using them, players can trade with other Steam users on the Steam community Marketplace and use them to craft “Badges”, which grant rewards such as game discount coupons, emoticons, and the ability to customize their user profile page.

This requirement can be fulfilled by making any purchase of five dollars or more on Steam, or by adding at the same amount to their wallet. Through Steamworks, Steam provides a means of server browsing for multiplayer games that use the Steam Community features, allowing users to create lobbies with friends or members of common groups. Steamworks also provides Valve Anti-Cheat VAC , Valve’s proprietary anti-cheat system; game servers automatically detect and report users who are using cheats in online, multiplayer games.

In September , Steam Music was added to the Steam client, allowing users to play through music stored on their computer or to stream from a locally networked computer directly in Steam. A major visual overhaul of the Library and game profile pages were released in October Associated with that, Valve gave developers means of communicating when special in-game events are approaching through Steam Events, which appear to players on the revamped Library and game profile pages.

Valve provides developers the ability to create storefront pages for games ahead of time to help generate interest in their game ahead of release. Valve offers Steamworks, an application programming interface API that provides development and publishing tools to take advantage of Steam client’s features, free-of-charge to game and software developers.

The API also provides anti-cheating devices and digital copy management. Developers of software available on Steam are able to track sales of their games through the Steam store. In February , Valve announced that it would begin to allow developers to set up their own sales for their games independent of any sales that Valve may set.

Steam conducts and partially publishes a monthly opt-in hardware and software survey since and Valve added the ability for developers to sell games under an early access model with a special section of the Steam store, starting in March This program allows for developers to release functional, but not finished, products such as beta versions to the service to allow users to buy the games and help provide testing and feedback towards the final production.

Early access also helps to provide funding to the developers to help complete their games. Developers are able to request Steam keys of their products to use as they see fit, such as to give away in promotions, to provide to selected users for review, or to give to key resellers for different profitization.

Valve generally honors all such requests, but clarified that they would evaluate some requests to avoid giving keys to games or other offerings that are designed to manipulate the Steam storefront and other features.

For example, Valve said that a request for , keys for a game that has significantly negative reviews and 1, sales on Steam is unlikely to be granted. Valve enabled the ability for multiple developers to create bundles of games from their offerings without the need for Valve’s staff to create these on their behalf in June The Steam Workshop is a Steam account-based hosting service for videogame user-created content.

Depending on the title, new levels, art assets, gameplay modifications, or other content may be published to or installed from the Steam Workshop through an automated, online account-based process. The Workshop was originally used for distribution of new items for Team Fortress 2 ; [] it was redesigned to extend support for any game in early , including modifications for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

SteamVR is a virtual reality hardware and software platform developed by Valve, with a focus on allowing “room-scale” experiences using positional tracking base stations, as opposed to those requiring the player to stay in a singular location.

Up until , Valve would handpick games to be included onto the Steam service, limiting these to games that either had a major developer supporting them, or smaller studios with proven track records for Valve’s purposes. Since then, Valve have sought ways to enable more games to be offered through Steam, while pulling away from manually approving games for the service, short of validating that a game runs on the platforms the publisher had indicated.

Valve announced Steam Greenlight to streamline game addition to the service in July and released the following month. Developers were able to submit information about their games, as well as early builds or beta versions, for consideration by users.

Users would pledge support for these games, and Valve would help to make top-pledged games available on the Steam service. Those fees were donated to the charity Child’s Play. The initial process offered by Greenlight was panned by developers because while they favored the concept, the rate of games that were eventually approved were small. Steam Greenlight was phased out and replaced with Steam Direct in June Once they apply, a developer must wait thirty days before publishing the game as to give Valve the ability to review the game to make sure it is “configured correctly, matches the description provided on the store page, and doesn’t contain malicious content”.

Valve anticipated that the volume of new games added to the service would further increase with Direct in place.

Without more direct interaction on the curation process, allowing hundreds more games on the service, Valve had looked to find methods to allow players to find games they would be more likely to buy based on previous purchase patterns. Curators can set up descriptors for the type of games they are interested in, preferred languages, and other tags along with social media profiles, while developers can find and reach out to specific curators from this information, and, after review, provide them directly with access to their game.

This step, which eliminates the use of a Steam redemption key, is aimed to reduce the reselling of keys, as well as dissuade users that may be trying to game the curator system to obtain free game keys. Valve has attempted to deal with “fake games”, those that are built around reused assets and little other innovation, designed to misuse Steam’s features for the benefit only to the developer or select few users. To help assist finding and removing these games from the service, the company added Steam Explorers atop its existing Steam Curator program, according to various YouTube personalities that have spoken out about such games in the past and with Valve directly, including Jim Sterling and TotalBiscuit.

Any Steam user is able to sign up to be an Explorer, and are asked to look at under-performing games on the service as to either vouch that the game is truly original and simply lost among other releases, or if it is an example of a “fake game”, at which point Valve can take action to remove the game.

In July , the Steam Labs feature was introduced as a means of Valve to showcase experimental discovery features they have considered for including into Steam, but seek public feedback to see if it is something that users want before fully integrating that into the storefront. For example, an initial experiment released at launch was the Interactive Recommender, which uses artificial intelligence algorithms pulling data from the user’s past gameplay history, comparing it to all other users, as to suggest new games that may be of interest to them.

The September Discovery update, which Valve claimed would improve the visibility of niche and lesser-known games, was met with criticism from some indie game developers, who recorded a significant drop in exposure of their games, including new wishlist additions and appearances in the “More Like This” and “Discovery queue” sections of the store.

In June , Valve created a formal process to allow purchasers to request full refunds on games they had purchased on Steam for any reason, with refunds guaranteed within the first two weeks as long as the player had not spent more than two hours in the game.

For example, the Steam version of From Dust was originally stated to have a single, post-installation online DRM check with its publisher Ubisoft, but the released version of the game required a DRM check with Ubisoft’s servers each time it was used. At the request of Ubisoft, Valve offered refunds to customers who bought the game while Ubisoft worked to release a patch that would remove the DRM check altogether.

Though the developers Hammerpoint Interactive altered the description after launch to reflect the current state of the game software, Valve removed the title from Steam and offered refunds to those who had bought it. Valve has full authority to remove games from the service for various reasons; however games that are removed can still be downloaded and played by those that have already purchased these games. With the launch of Steam Direct, effectively removing any curation of games by Valve prior to being published on Steam, there have been several incidents of published games that have attempted to mislead Steam users.

Desktop Computer. Since first appearing on the market in late , as with virtually all other computer memory devices, storage capacities have risen while prices have dropped. As of March [update] , flash drives with anywhere from 8 to gigabytes GB [4] were frequently sold, while GB and 1 terabyte TB [5] units were less frequent.

Common uses of USB flash drives are for storage, supplementary back-ups , and transferring of computer files. Compared with floppy disks or CDs , they are smaller, faster, have significantly more capacity, and are more durable due to a lack of moving parts. Additionally, they are less vulnerable to electromagnetic interference than floppy disks, and are unharmed by surface scratches unlike CDs. However, as with any flash storage, data loss from bit leaking due to prolonged lack of electrical power and the possibility of spontaneous controller failure due to poor manufacturing could make it unsuitable for long-term archival of data.

The ability to retain data is affected by the controller’s firmware , internal data redundancy , and error correction algorithms. Until about , most desktop and laptop computers were supplied with floppy disk drives in addition to USB ports, but floppy disk drives became obsolete after widespread adoption of USB ports and the larger USB drive capacity compared to the “1. A flash drive consists of a small printed circuit board carrying the circuit elements and a USB connector, insulated electrically and protected inside a plastic, metal, or rubberized case, which can be carried in a pocket or on a key chain, for example.

The USB connector may be protected by a removable cap or by retracting into the body of the drive, although it is not likely to be damaged if unprotected. Most flash drives use a standard type-A USB connection allowing connection with a port on a personal computer, but drives for other interfaces also exist e.

Some devices combine the functionality of a portable media player with USB flash storage; they require a battery only when used to play music on the go. The basis for USB flash drives is flash memory , a type of floating-gate semiconductor memory invented by Fujio Masuoka in the early s. Multiple individuals have staked a claim to being the inventor of the USB flash drive. Given these competing claims to inventorship, patent disputes involving the USB flash drive have arisen over the years.

Flash drives are often measured by the rate at which they transfer data. By , the maximum available storage capacity for the devices had reached upwards of GB. Through , the majority of laptop models still contained only USB 2. In January , tech company Kingston, released a flash drive with 1 TB of storage. Internals of a typical USB flash drive. On a USB flash drive, one end of the device is fitted with a single USB plug ; some flash drives additionally offer a micro USB plug, facilitating data transfers between different devices.

Inside the casing is a small printed circuit board, which has some power circuitry and a small number of surface-mounted integrated circuits ICs. Drives typically use the USB mass storage device class to communicate with the host. Flash memory combines a number of older technologies, with lower cost, lower power consumption and small size made possible by advances in semiconductor device fabrication technology. These had limited capacity, were slow for both reading and writing, required complex high-voltage drive circuitry, and could be re-written only after erasing the entire contents of the chip.

Hardware designers later developed EEPROMs with the erasure region broken up into smaller “fields” that could be erased individually without affecting the others. Altering the contents of a particular memory location involved copying the entire field into an off-chip buffer memory, erasing the field, modifying the data as required in the buffer, and re-writing it into the same field.

Flash drives are more or less a miniaturized version of this. The development of high-speed serial data interfaces such as USB made semiconductor memory systems with serially accessed storage viable, and the simultaneous development of small, high-speed, low-power microprocessor systems allowed this to be incorporated into extremely compact systems.

Serial access requires far fewer electrical connections for the memory chips than does parallel access , which has simplified the manufacture of multi- gigabyte drives. Computers access modern [update] flash memory systems very much like hard disk drives, where the controller system has full control over where information is actually stored.

The actual EEPROM writing and erasure processes are, however, still very similar to the earlier systems described above. Many low-cost MP3 players simply add extra software and a battery to a standard flash memory control microprocessor so it can also serve as a music playback decoder. Most of these players can also be used as a conventional flash drive, for storing files of any type.

Most USB flash drives weigh less than 30 g 1 oz. Because the USB port connectors on a computer housing are often closely spaced, plugging a flash drive into a USB port may block an adjacent port. Such devices may carry the USB logo only if sold with a separate extension cable. USB flash drives have been integrated into other commonly carried items, such as watches, pens, laser pointers, and even the Swiss Army Knife ; others have been fitted with novelty cases such as toy cars or Lego bricks.

USB flash drives with images of dragons, cats or aliens are very popular in Asia. Also, standard FAT maintenance utilities e. However, because a flash drive appears as a USB-connected hard drive to the host system, the drive can be reformatted to any file system supported by the host operating system. Flash drives can be defragmented. There is a widespread opinion that defragmenting brings little advantage as there is no mechanical head that moves from fragment to fragment , and that defragmenting shortens the life of the drive by making many unnecessary writes.

Some file systems are designed to distribute usage over an entire memory device without concentrating usage on any part e. Some USB flash drives have this ‘ wear leveling ‘ feature built into the software controller to prolong device life, while others do not, so it is not necessarily helpful to install one of these file systems.

Sectors are bytes long, for compatibility with hard disk drives, and the first sector can contain a master boot record and a partition table. Therefore, USB flash units can be partitioned just like hard disk drives.

The memory in flash drives was commonly engineered with multi-level cell MLC based memory that is good for around 3,, program-erase cycles. As a result, a USB flash drive can last from a few days to several hundred years. Regardless of the endurance of the memory itself, the USB connector hardware is specified to withstand only around 1, insert-removal cycles. Counterfeit USB flash drives are sometimes sold with claims of having higher capacities than they actually have. These are typically low capacity USB drives whose flash memory controller firmware is modified so that they emulate larger capacity drives for example, a 2 GB drive being marketed as a 64 GB drive.

When plugged into a computer, they report themselves as being the larger capacity they were sold as, but when data is written to them, either the write fails, the drive freezes up, or it overwrites existing data. Software tools exist to check and detect fake USB drives, [48] [49] and in some cases it is possible to repair these devices to remove the false capacity information and use its real storage limit.

Transfer speeds are technically determined by the slowest of three factors: the USB version used, the speed in which the USB controller device can read and write data onto the flash memory, and the speed of the hardware bus , especially in the case of add-on USB ports. These speeds are for optimal conditions; real-world speeds are usually slower. In particular, circumstances that often lead to speeds much lower than advertised are transfer particularly writing of many small files rather than a few very large ones, and mixed reading and writing to the same device.

In a typical well-conducted review of a number of high-performance USB 3. The examples given are chosen to illustrate extremes. The most common use of flash drives is to transport and store personal files, such as documents, pictures and videos.

Individuals also store medical information on flash drives for emergencies and disaster preparation. With wide deployment s of flash drives being used in various environments secured or otherwise , the issue of data and information security remains important.

The use of biometrics and encryption is becoming the norm with the need for increased security for data; on-the-fly encryption systems are particularly useful in this regard, as they can transparently encrypt large amounts of data.

In some cases a secure USB drive may use a hardware-based encryption mechanism that uses a hardware module instead of software for strongly encrypting data. COFEE is a set of applications designed to search for and extract digital evidence on computers confiscated from suspects.

Usually, new firmware image is downloaded and placed onto a FAT16 – or FAT32 -formatted USB flash drive connected to a system which is to be updated, and path to the new firmware image is selected within the update component of system’s firmware. Also, HP has introduced a USB floppy drive key , which is an ordinary USB flash drive with additional possibility for performing floppy drive emulation, allowing its usage for updating system firmware where direct usage of USB flash drives is not supported.

Desired mode of operation either regular USB mass storage device or of floppy drive emulation is made selectable by a sliding switch on the device’s housing. Most current PC firmware permits booting from a USB drive, allowing the launch of an operating system from a bootable flash drive. Such a configuration is known as a Live USB.

Original flash memory designs had very limited estimated lifetimes. The failure mechanism for flash memory cells is analogous to a metal fatigue mode; the device fails by refusing to write new data to specific cells that have been subject to many read-write cycles over the device’s lifetime.

Originally, this potential failure mode limited the use of “live USB” system to special-purpose applications or temporary tasks, such as:. Strategy First Press release.

A computer is a digital electronic machine that can be programmed to carry out sequences of arithmetic or logical operations computation automatically. Modern computers can perform generic sets of operations known as programs.

These programs enable computers to perform a wide range of tasks. A computer system is a “complete” computer that includes the hardware , operating system main software , and peripheral equipment needed and used for “full” operation.

This term may also refer to a group of computers that are linked and function together, such as a computer network or computer cluster. A broad range of industrial and consumer products use computers as control systems.

Simple special-purpose devices like microwave ovens and remote controls are included, as are factory devices like industrial robots and computer-aided design , as well as general-purpose devices like personal computers and mobile devices like smartphones. Computers power the Internet , which links billions of other computers and users. Early computers were meant to be used only for calculations. Simple manual instruments like the abacus have aided people in doing calculations since ancient times.

Early in the Industrial Revolution , some mechanical devices were built to automate long tedious tasks, such as guiding patterns for looms. More sophisticated electrical machines did specialized analog calculations in the early 20th century. The first digital electronic calculating machines were developed during World War II. The first semiconductor transistors in the late s were followed by the silicon -based MOSFET MOS transistor and monolithic integrated circuit IC chip technologies in the late s, leading to the microprocessor and the microcomputer revolution in the s.

The speed, power and versatility of computers have been increasing dramatically ever since then, with transistor counts increasing at a rapid pace as predicted by Moore’s law , leading to the Digital Revolution during the late 20th to early 21st centuries.

Conventionally, a modern computer consists of at least one processing element , typically a central processing unit CPU in the form of a microprocessor , along with some type of computer memory , typically semiconductor memory chips. The processing element carries out arithmetic and logical operations, and a sequencing and control unit can change the order of operations in response to stored information. Peripheral devices include input devices keyboards, mice, joystick , etc.

Peripheral devices allow information to be retrieved from an external source and they enable the result of operations to be saved and retrieved. According to the Oxford English Dictionary , the first known use of computer was in a book called The Yong Mans Gleanings by the English writer Richard Brathwait : “I haue [ sic ] read the truest computer of Times, and the best Arithmetician that euer [sic] breathed, and he reduceth thy dayes into a short number.

The word continued with the same meaning until the middle of the 20th century. During the latter part of this period women were often hired as computers because they could be paid less than their male counterparts.

The Online Etymology Dictionary gives the first attested use of computer in the s, meaning ‘one who calculates’; this is an “agent noun from compute v. The Online Etymology Dictionary states that the use of the term to mean ” ‘calculating machine’ of any type is from Devices have been used to aid computation for thousands of years, mostly using one-to-one correspondence with fingers.

The earliest counting device was probably a form of tally stick. Later record keeping aids throughout the Fertile Crescent included calculi clay spheres, cones, etc. The abacus was initially used for arithmetic tasks. The Roman abacus was developed from devices used in Babylonia as early as BC. Since then, many other forms of reckoning boards or tables have been invented. In a medieval European counting house , a checkered cloth would be placed on a table, and markers moved around on it according to certain rules, as an aid to calculating sums of money.

The Antikythera mechanism is believed to be the earliest known mechanical analog computer , according to Derek J. It was discovered in in the Antikythera wreck off the Greek island of Antikythera , between Kythera and Crete , and has been dated to approximately c. Devices of comparable complexity to the Antikythera mechanism would not reappear until the fourteenth century.

Many mechanical aids to calculation and measurement were constructed for astronomical and navigation use. A combination of the planisphere and dioptra , the astrolabe was effectively an analog computer capable of working out several different kinds of problems in spherical astronomy. An astrolabe incorporating a mechanical calendar computer [9] [10] and gear -wheels was invented by Abi Bakr of Isfahan , Persia in The sector , a calculating instrument used for solving problems in proportion, trigonometry, multiplication and division, and for various functions, such as squares and cube roots, was developed in the late 16th century and found application in gunnery, surveying and navigation.

The planimeter was a manual instrument to calculate the area of a closed figure by tracing over it with a mechanical linkage. The slide rule was invented around — by the English clergyman William Oughtred , shortly after the publication of the concept of the logarithm. It is a hand-operated analog computer for doing multiplication and division.

As slide rule development progressed, added scales provided reciprocals, squares and square roots, cubes and cube roots, as well as transcendental functions such as logarithms and exponentials, circular and hyperbolic trigonometry and other functions. Slide rules with special scales are still used for quick performance of routine calculations, such as the E6B circular slide rule used for time and distance calculations on light aircraft. In the s, Pierre Jaquet-Droz , a Swiss watchmaker , built a mechanical doll automaton that could write holding a quill pen.

By switching the number and order of its internal wheels different letters, and hence different messages, could be produced. In effect, it could be mechanically “programmed” to read instructions. In —, mathematician and engineer Giovanni Plana devised a Perpetual Calendar machine , which, through a system of pulleys and cylinders and over, could predict the perpetual calendar for every year from AD 0 that is, 1 BC to AD , keeping track of leap years and varying day length.

The tide-predicting machine invented by the Scottish scientist Sir William Thomson in was of great utility to navigation in shallow waters. It used a system of pulleys and wires to automatically calculate predicted tide levels for a set period at a particular location. The differential analyser , a mechanical analog computer designed to solve differential equations by integration , used wheel-and-disc mechanisms to perform the integration. In , Sir William Thomson had already discussed the possible construction of such calculators, but he had been stymied by the limited output torque of the ball-and-disk integrators.

The torque amplifier was the advance that allowed these machines to work. Starting in the s, Vannevar Bush and others developed mechanical differential analyzers. Charles Babbage , an English mechanical engineer and polymath , originated the concept of a programmable computer. Considered the ” father of the computer “, [17] he conceptualized and invented the first mechanical computer in the early 19th century.

After working on his revolutionary difference engine , designed to aid in navigational calculations, in he realized that a much more general design, an Analytical Engine , was possible. The input of programs and data was to be provided to the machine via punched cards , a method being used at the time to direct mechanical looms such as the Jacquard loom.

For output, the machine would have a printer, a curve plotter and a bell. The machine would also be able to punch numbers onto cards to be read in later. The Engine incorporated an arithmetic logic unit , control flow in the form of conditional branching and loops , and integrated memory , making it the first design for a general-purpose computer that could be described in modern terms as Turing-complete. The machine was about a century ahead of its time. All the parts for his machine had to be made by hand — this was a major problem for a device with thousands of parts.

Eventually, the project was dissolved with the decision of the British Government to cease funding. Babbage’s failure to complete the analytical engine can be chiefly attributed to political and financial difficulties as well as his desire to develop an increasingly sophisticated computer and to move ahead faster than anyone else could follow.

Nevertheless, his son, Henry Babbage , completed a simplified version of the analytical engine’s computing unit the mill in He gave a successful demonstration of its use in computing tables in During the first half of the 20th century, many scientific computing needs were met by increasingly sophisticated analog computers , which used a direct mechanical or electrical model of the problem as a basis for computation.

However, these were not programmable and generally lacked the versatility and accuracy of modern digital computers. The differential analyser , a mechanical analog computer designed to solve differential equations by integration using wheel-and-disc mechanisms, was conceptualized in by James Thomson , the elder brother of the more famous Sir William Thomson.

The art of mechanical analog computing reached its zenith with the differential analyzer , built by H. This built on the mechanical integrators of James Thomson and the torque amplifiers invented by H.

A dozen of these devices were built before their obsolescence became obvious. By the s, the success of digital electronic computers had spelled the end for most analog computing machines, but analog computers remained in use during the s in some specialized applications such as education slide rule and aircraft control systems. By , the United States Navy had developed an electromechanical analog computer small enough to use aboard a submarine.

This was the Torpedo Data Computer , which used trigonometry to solve the problem of firing a torpedo at a moving target. During World War II similar devices were developed in other countries as well. Early digital computers were electromechanical ; electric switches drove mechanical relays to perform the calculation. These devices had a low operating speed and were eventually superseded by much faster all-electric computers, originally using vacuum tubes.

The Z2 , created by German engineer Konrad Zuse in , was one of the earliest examples of an electromechanical relay computer.

In , Zuse followed his earlier machine up with the Z3 , the world’s first working electromechanical programmable , fully automatic digital computer. It was quite similar to modern machines in some respects, pioneering numerous advances such as floating-point numbers.

Rather than the harder-to-implement decimal system used in Charles Babbage ‘s earlier design , using a binary system meant that Zuse’s machines were easier to build and potentially more reliable, given the technologies available at that time. Zuse’s next computer, the Z4 , became the world’s first commercial computer; after initial delay due to the Second World War, it was completed in and delivered to the ETH Zurich.

Purely electronic circuit elements soon replaced their mechanical and electromechanical equivalents, at the same time that digital calculation replaced analog. The engineer Tommy Flowers , working at the Post Office Research Station in London in the s, began to explore the possible use of electronics for the telephone exchange.

Experimental equipment that he built in went into operation five years later, converting a portion of the telephone exchange network into an electronic data processing system, using thousands of vacuum tubes. The German encryption machine, Enigma , was first attacked with the help of the electro-mechanical bombes which were often run by women. Colossus was the world’s first electronic digital programmable computer.

It had paper-tape input and was capable of being configured to perform a variety of boolean logical operations on its data, but it was not Turing-complete. Colossus Mark I contained 1, thermionic valves tubes , but Mark II with 2, valves, was both five times faster and simpler to operate than Mark I, greatly speeding the decoding process. Like the Colossus, a “program” on the ENIAC was defined by the states of its patch cables and switches, a far cry from the stored program electronic machines that came later.

Once a program was written, it had to be mechanically set into the machine with manual resetting of plugs and switches. It combined the high speed of electronics with the ability to be programmed for many complex problems.

It could add or subtract times a second, a thousand times faster than any other machine. It also had modules to multiply, divide, and square root. High speed memory was limited to 20 words about 80 bytes.

Built under the direction of John Mauchly and J. The machine was huge, weighing 30 tons, using kilowatts of electric power and contained over 18, vacuum tubes, 1, relays, and hundreds of thousands of resistors, capacitors, and inductors. The principle of the modern computer was proposed by Alan Turing in his seminal paper, [42] On Computable Numbers.

Немного? – Глаза Бринкерхоффа сузились.  – У Стратмора стол ломится от заказов. Вряд ли он позволил бы «ТРАНСТЕКСТУ» простаивать целый уик-энд. – Хорошо, хорошо.  – Мидж вздохнула.

Беккер склонился над. – Вам плохо. Клушар едва заметно кивнул: – Просто… я переволновался, наверное.

Какой тип? – Беккер хмуро взглянул на полицейского. – Тот, что вызвал «скорую». Он болтал что-то на ужаснейшем испанском, который мне только доводилось слышать.

Стратмор пожал плечами: – Так или иначе, уже слишком поздно. Он разместил бесплатный образец «Цифровой крепости» на своем сайте в Интернете. Теперь его скачать может кто угодно.
