The problem is that many of these applications are asking you to pay to download them; many of the more enticing ones aren’t just a dollar or two like the many of the apps in the App Store for the iPhone and iPad. Some are, but many are asking you to pay $19.99, $29.99, $49.99, and even more. There is no guarantee you’ll like the application once you download it, and while paying a dollar or two could be worth it, spending $20 – $40 and more isn’t....

1. Character Picker The most straightforward way to type a special character in Windows is the built-in picker. It contains a massive selection of emojis, symbols, and kaomoji (emoji made with Japanese characters) and is much faster than Googling a symbol to copy and paste.

Although many of us are afraid of the implications of artificial intelligence, there’s no doubt that everyone holds it in reverence as the pinnacle of the evolution of the machine.

To test this, we’ve gathered data from a few of the most rigorous antivirus testing sites to see how Windows Defender compares to the most popular third-party antivirus software. We’ve done this for a couple of years now so we can compare Windows Defender’s performance with how it did the previous year. How Does Windows Defender Compare?
