Neowin reports that the latest figures from Statcounter reveal that in March 2025, Windows 11 closed in further on its predecessor. If the trend continues at the same pace, in a few months Windows 11 could finally sit on the throne as Microsoft’s biggest operating system by market share. As it turns out, March was a particularly bad month for Windows 10. The aging operating system saw its biggest drop in user base to date, a whopping 4.43 percentage points. Windows 10 is now running on 54.23 percent of Windows computers worldwide. On the other hand, Windows 11 saw its biggest user growth in three years. The share of Windows 11 users grew by 4.53 percentage points, to 42.66 percent of all Windows desktop users. That’s still significantly behind Windows 10, but it’s the rate that’s important here. It seems Microsoft’s constant alerts about Windows 10 reaching end of support in October are finally showing results. With just six months to go, users are running out of time. If you’re still on Windows 10, you’ll need to upgrade to Windows 11 or pay to extend Windows 10 support. If you do neither, you’ll stop receiving security updates and your PC will become increasingly vulnerable to malware, hackers, and other threats. Read...

So, you’ve filled up the inside of your gaming desktop with enough RGBs for a Las Vegas casino, not to mention tiny little LCD screens on your motherboard, RAM, and liquid cooling reservoir. What’s left? What else could possibly fulfill your desperate need for blinking, flickering excess? One word, you decadent little gamer: holograms. Well, “holograms,” in quotes. Coolify has apparently put those spinning LED displays—the ones that are a bit flickery and sort of transparent since they’re made with spinning bars—on a PC case fan. PCWorld’s Mark Hachman spotted them at Computex in 2024: @pcworld.com Do You Want A Holographic Screen On Your Fans? #computex #rgb #fans ? Originalton – PCWorld – PCWorld VideoCardz.com spotted that these holographic fans are now available to buy and install in your own desktop. The fans are a standard 120mm size, available in either 1500 or 2600 RPM models. (Since they have to spin at a specific rate in order to generate the images and animations, you can’t vary the speed, at least not without losing the holographic functionality.) It looks like there are 96 LEDs on the bar, which would technically mean the image can only be a circle with a 96-pixel diameter, but the fans can take input for images or animations at up to 300 pixels wide. Not exactly “ultra HD,” as the promo page says. Coolify Interestingly, the fans only draw power from your PC, they don’t actually transfer data. You’ll need to load up your images directly to the fans over Wi-Fi using a companion phone app. A bit of a hassle, I suppose, especially if you’re installing multiple fans in your desktop. But I think I’d prefer that to shoddy PC software slowing down my games, if I were the sort of gamer to build a PC like this. (I am not.) Coolify’s Holo Fan isn’t cheap at $46 a pop, but that’s not horrible considering the unique functionality. Just make sure they’re pointing the right way when you install them. Read...
