Windows Home Server to be Fixed in June

By Digital Trends Staff Published October 25, 2009

Windows Home Server to be Fixed in June Microsoft technicians have been able to reproduce the bug some customers found in Windows Home Server. As to fixing it…well, that looks as if it mighttake a bit longer than expected. The current project is that there will be a solution by June, but that’s not guaranteed. The problem with the bug is quite complex. It can corrupt filestransferred to a Home Server unit that has two or more hard drives, according to Information Week. Even then, it will only kick in if the file transferis executed with specific Microsoft problems. Needless to say, it hasn’t affected that many people. The Windows Home Server team noted in a blog that they’re not sanguine about aneasy solution. "It is at an extremely low level of the operating system and it requires thorough testing to ensure that the fix addresses the issue."

The latest Windows 11 Insider Preview Build (26120.2702) was released a couple of days ago and it adds a new camera feature that probably should have been added ages ago. Once the build rolls out to all Windows 11 PCs, you'll be able to let multiple apps use your camera at the same time.

Microsoft says the reason it developed this feature is to "enable video streaming to both a sign language interpreter and the end audience at the same time" but users will surely find a range of uses for it.

The unthinkable might finally happen. Apple could finally fix the Magic Mouse and its terrible charging port location. As per Bloomberg, a new Magic Mouse is in the works, and it will likely revise the location of the charging port.

“The current Magic Mouse is nearing the end of its life, and Apple is working on a full overhaul,” says the report. Earlier this year, Apple switched the mouse to a USB-C charging interface, ditching the proprietary Lightning port.
