Security researchers at BlackBerry have identified a new Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) family on March 16 and traced it back to its alleged beta stage release. The strain, called LokiLocker, encrypts victims’ files, renders compromised systems unusable, and demands a ransom to restore access. The malicious service also tries to shake off unwanted attention by framing Iranian […]

Microsoft lets you run Windows 11 on unsupported hardware, but if you do, be prepared to be reminded about it. A recent Windows Insider preview marked as a release candidate adds a watermark to the desktop, warning you that you're using unsupported hardware along with a matching note in the main window of the Settings app, as spotted by Windows Latest.
This latest move continues to apply pressure to upgrade to newer PCs with more modern security features, which is clearly a goal for Microsoft. If your Windows 11 PC isn't up to official snuff, you'll see a watermark in the lower-right corner of your screen stating “System requirements not met. Go to settings to learn more.” It's similar (though less in-your-face) to the watermark you'll see when you're running Windows without properly activating it first.
In the past, running unactivated versions of Windows resulted in feature restrictions such as being unable to personalize your system or wallpaper. Microsoft doesn't appear to be introducing similarly heavy-handed measures alongside this Windows 11 watermark—a good thing, as users who took advantage of Microsoft's workaround to get the new OS on old hardware still paid for their copy of Windows.
Bottom line? The new watermark might annoy you, but it's nothing to fear…yet. That said, if you're running Windows 11 on unsupported hardware, you're doing so at your own risk and everything may break eventually. Rather than rolling the dice, consider sticking with Windows 10 for now instead. It still works great with support planned through 2025 and you shouldn't upgrade to Windows 11 yet anyway.

Graphics card availability has improved significantly over the past few weeks. This recent trend marks a stark contrast to what’s been about an 18 month slog of terrible conditions for gamers interested in upgrading their PCs. Although things are still far from normal, where you can expect to find a new graphics card for a reasonable price (compared to previous generations), the recent trend is still welcome and perhaps a sign of better things to come. As of now, those interested in high end Nvidia graphics cards can even find RTX 3080 12GB and 3080 Ti models in stock for list prices near MSRP.
Manufacturers pulled a bit of a stunt with the RTX 3080 12GB model and failed to list any MSRP. As of today, pricing seems to start around $1,250 for certain models, with others reaching up to $1600+. No matter how you slice it, these cards are expensive compared to the original RTX 3080 pricing, but some may say $1,250 is a steal compared to previous scalper pricing.
