Microsoft has verified that Control Panel will no longer be available on Windows 11.

The Control Panel, a long-standing feature of the Windows operating system, is set to be phased out in Windows 11. Microsoft has confirmed that it is in the process of discontinuing the Control Panel and transitioning to the Settings app for a more modern and streamlined user experience.

Microsoft plans to discontinue the Control Panel feature in Windows 11.

The speculation regarding the discontinuation of the Control Panel has been ongoing for years. Despite indications dating back to 2011 that it might be replaced by “PC Settings”, Microsoft has not yet phased out the Control Panel in its latest Windows versions.

In 2015, a Microsoft employee stated that the Control Panel would be replaced by the Settings eventually, but the transition was delayed as some features had not yet been transferred to the new application.

Microsoft stated that removing the Control Panel aims to provide a more unified and modern user experience by introducing the Settings app, which offers easier access to system settings and tools with a user-friendly interface designed to be more intuitive, especially for newcomers.

The Control Panel is being phased out slowly, but it will still be accessible for compatibility purposes until all its settings are fully incorporated into the Settings app.

Galaxy Ring will be available in two additional sizes.

Samsung recently introduced the Samsung Galaxy Ring, a cutting-edge device designed to broaden the company’s reach in the health and wellness technology market. The gadget boasts an elegant design and state-of-the-art health monitoring capabilities, positioning it as a strong contender against smartwatches and fitness trackers. Additionally, two new sizes of the device will soon be available in the USA.

Galaxy Ring will be available in sizes 14 and 15.

The Galaxy Ring is crafted to be inconspicuous and stylish, providing a discreet and elegant option compared to bulkier smart watches. It is perfect for individuals who favor a more subtle yet effective device.

The ring is currently offered in nine U.S. standard sizes, but there are rumors that Samsung will introduce sizes 14 and 15 soon to cater to a wider audience. This range of sizes allows the Galaxy Ring to fit various finger sizes effectively while maintaining sensor accuracy.

Samsung has not made an official statement regarding this new development, so it is unclear whether the new sizes will be available worldwide or exclusively in the United States.

Colors of the Galaxy Ring

The Galaxy Ring is made with high-quality materials and comes in three color choices: Black Titanium, Gold Titanium, and Silver Titanium. These color options enhance the elegant appearance of the ring while also ensuring durability and strength, essential qualities for a device used regularly.

The utilization of titanium enhances the product’s strength, ensuring the ring withstands daily wear and tear while remaining comfortably lightweight. Moreover, the titanium coating gives the Galaxy Ring a sleek, contemporary appearance, making it a compelling device.

The Galaxy Ring can be pre-ordered in Brazil for R$3,499 with a R$500 discount until October 18, when it will be officially available.

Logitech Lift: My mouse is one of the most ergonomic options available.

I own a Logitech Lift mouse, which has recently received the Ergonomic Product Certification from United States Ergonomics. Initially, adjusting to the idea of resting my wrist while using the mouse was challenging, but now I have no issues with it. This certification highlights Logitech’s commitment to promoting health and comfort.

Logitech Lift was created to promote a neutral wrist position, minimizing fatigue and muscle strain. During certification tests involving 80 participants using Lift instead of a regular mouse for up to a month, it excelled in maintaining muscle stress levels, posture, accuracy, and error rate under scrutiny in the laboratory.

The findings indicate that Logitech Lift offers a notable ergonomic benefit by reducing muscle strain in the hand, forearm, and shoulder.

Its upright structure enables a more organic movement of the wrist and arm, enhancing user posture by up to 15° and providing lasting comfort. Users found the transition to the device to be quick and straightforward, enabling them to experience its ergonomic advantages right away. Despite initial challenges, adaptation became seamless after a few weeks.

The Lift is available for purchase on Amazon today, and I found it priced at R $ 359.
