Action Center has been redesigned based on the Fluent Design System with a new Blue colour scheme and graphic tweaks.

The update also brings the ability to pin websites from Microsoft Edge to the taskbar. This can be done by selecting ‘Pin this page to the taskbar’ from the settings menu in Microsoft Edge. This build also introduces a new full screen experience in Microsoft Edge by simply pressing F11, and you can exit full screen mode by pressing F11 again.

The build has also improved Windows 10's stylus support by adding more editing tools, introducing new gestures, emojis, and even automatic handwriting detection. There’s also a new ‘find my pen’ option that will show where you were with your device when you last used the pen.
There’s also a new Emoji Panel that you can activate while in a text box. Just press Win + period (.) or Win + semicolon (;) while focus is in a text box and the Emoji Panel will pop up for you to quickly scroll through and pick the emoji you want. Microsoft notes that currently this emoji experience is only available when English (United States) is the active language of your keyboard. Additionally, the touch keyboard gets enhanced text prediction, and a one-handed keyboard support as well.
You can read about all the other handwriting improvements and overall new features here. If you want to experience all these features right away, become a Windows 10 insider member right away, else if you don’t want to suffer bugs, then wait it out till fall.

Synology DiskStation DS716+II

Highlights The NAS comes with support for 4K transcoding It also includes hardware encryption support Synology DiskStation DS716+II is priced at Rs. 49,500 By now, most of our readers should be familiar with the name Synology. While the first Synology NAS unit we reviewed, the DiskStation DS215j, was a member of the J series targeted at home users, the unit we have today is part of the Plus series, with offerings for small and medium-sized businesses. This means the DS716+II comes at a premium compared to the DS215j, and this is justified not only in terms of beefed-up hardware, but the build quality as well. While the DS215j felt a little flimsy when opened, that's definitely not the case with DS716+II. The unit 1 looks really slick in black and has a metallic finish worthy of its positioning in the Synology lineup. Anyone familiar with the Synology naming scheme will recognise that the DS716+II comes with a support for a total of 7 drive bays, but...

The Airtel Internet TV set-top box is noticeably wider than Airtel’s ‘regular’ boxes, and just a little bit shorter in height. The front has LED indicators like you’d expect, but it’s devoid of any buttons, apart from the power button, which means you have nothing to fall back upon in case of a remote-re...

Highlights D2H companies are now offering smart boxes with mirroring and streaming Videocon and Airtel are some of the first companies to offer this You can stream videos and watch broadcast TV with a single box One of the significant changes in TV in recent years is that not all of it is on TV anymore. As we noted earlier, cord cutting is feasible in India now, and as Internet connections improve, this is going to become even more of a reality. That means watching some shows on broadcast TV, while others are streaming over Netflix, Hotstar, or Amazon Prime Video.If you have a Smart TV - which is to say most TVs released in the last couple of years - then you can press a button on your remote and switch over to the TV's interface, and load up your favourite apps. Otherwise, you'll need to buy a Chromecast, or an Amazon Fire TV Stick, or some other similar smart box to add this functionality to your TV. That means an extra set of wires in your house, ...
