The latest update released by Microsoft has led to a strange crash in the proprietary Microsoft Edge browser on PCs running Windows 11 and Windows 10 operating systems. The problem was brought to the attention of the WindowsLatest thematic resource.

As the source notes, after the update, the browser interface automatically switched to “touch” or “tablet” mode, which is characterized by increased buttons and distances between interface elements, including tabs. Typically this interface is used to make the browser more touch-friendly. The problem is that this mode appears on regular computers with Windows 10 and Windows 11 without a touch screen, including desktop ones.

Apparently, Microsoft mistakenly enabled tablet support mode. As a result of the failure, desktop PCs are identified as tablets and touch mode is activated.

Fortunately, WindowsLatest found a very simple way out of the situation. The user only needs to go to the browser settings, go to the “Appearance” section and manually disable “touch mode”.

The team of the popular WhatsApp messenger decided to take a historic step – they launched a beta version of the application for Apple tablets. WhatsApp has not had a separate native app for iPad for many years, forcing people to use the web version of the messenger.

The application is not available to all WhatsApp users yet. As noted by the thematic resource WABetaInfo, a test version of the messenger numbered 23.19.1.71, compatible with iPad, has become available for participants in beta testing of WhatsApp for iOS.

To take part in the test, you must sign up for the WhatsApp beta program and download the apps to your iPhone and iPad. Next, you need to set up WhatsApp on your iPad by going to the “Paired Devices” section on your phone.

WABetaInfo notes that WhatsApp for iPad does allow you to use the app independently of your phone. At the same time, the iPad application synchronizes sent and received messages with other user devices. Unfortunately, it appears that some features, such as the real-time location feature and status updates, are not working properly right now.

Lu Weibing, President of Xiaomi Group and General Manager of the Redmi brand, revealed details about the new entry-level tablet, which will be called RedmiPad SE.

He confirmed that the RedmiPad SE will be equipped with a large 11-inch screen, which is perfect for watching videos. In addition, the screen supports a 90Hz refresh rate for the smoothest scrolling experience. The screen of the device is double certified by TUV Rheinland, which guarantees eye protection.

The tablet has an all-metal body, durable and reliable. Inside there is a battery with a capacity of 8000 mAh. At the same time, the tablet, which passed 30 strict quality tests, turned out to be ultra-light and ultra-thin (478 g and 7.36 mm).

RedmiPad SE is the new benchmark for tablets priced at a thousand yuan ($137).

The device runs MIUI Pad firmware, which supports two applications simultaneously. The tablet is equipped with USB-C and 3.5 mm connectors.
