Testers have tried to upgrade to the latest version of Windows 10, but they are facing some problems when doing this operation. The computers are being blocked from executing the command if they have an external USB or an SD card plugged into their PCs. The Windows 10 May 2019 is still in final testing and will be released in May.
Why Is the Upgrade Being Blocked?
The problem seems to be when all drivers have inappropriately reassigned different letters when external devices are connected to the computer. As you have observed by now on your Windows, the system is giving letters to all the intern or external drivers: hard drive, SSD, USB or SD cards. When the process of upgrading is taking place, those letters can be changed, but that’s the moment when the problem appears.
Nevertheless, to say, the real problem appears when the internal hard drive is affected. The external ones can be remove easily. If this happens with your internal hard drive, if the update is reassigned you a different letter, the damage caused can be significant. Imagine the worst scenario of your computer looking for files on a specific drive, but the files are no longer there because of the modified letter. Because of that, Microsoft has blocked all the upgrades to the new version, especially for the computers with USB devices attached. If you still want to upgrade your OS with the latest version, remove all your external devices and cards, and restart your PC. After that, the Windows 10 May 2019 should become available.
Finally, Microsoft has declared that these issues will be resolved with a future servicing update for Windows 10, and the testers have the issue fixed in build 18877. We are hoping that Windows wouldn’t make the same mistake this time like the one made with October 2018 Update.

Toward the end of 2016, the first version of Apple’s AirPods was released. Now, we’re already having AirPods 2. However, some rumors suggested that AirPods 3 could launch sooner than expected.
AirPods Became One of The Most Wanted Apple Products
AirPods proved to be a significant success because, although they were mocked at first, their popularity snowballed, almost reaching a status of trendy accessories. Even with their relatively high price, AirPods became a must-have item for most Apple users.
Last month, on March 20, 2019, the second version of AirPods came out, featuring improved battery life. Even though two years have passed until the company developed the second version of the earbuds, it seems that AirPods 3 could be launched earlier than we all expected.
It has been speculated they would come in 2020, but rumor has it that Apple is already engineering the next generation of earbuds, planning to launch them as soon as the end of this year. Keep in mind that no official announcement has been made yet so that this alleged news could be untrue.
Reportedly, as competing companies are developing their own versions of Bluetooth-powered wireless earbuds, Apple has sped up the design process to keep up with the market.
Rumour Regarding AirPods 3
Gossips also say that, despite the danger of lowering battery life, the new AirPods will feature noise cancellation. If Apple manages to pull this off with such a compact product, it’s guaranteed that it would be a significant event, leaving the competition in the dust. Other voices suspect supplementary health and fitness components will be included in the new features of AirPods 3.
Since Apple hasn’t made any public affirmations regarding these rumors yet, we shouldn’t put our blinded trust in them. In the scenario these speculations are accurate, we are surely going to find out soon enough, since, allegedly, AirPods 3 is going to be released this year.

According to research outlines from TF International Securities Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple could launch 5G iPhone 2020 models. The 5G modems could be supplied by Qualcomm and Samsung, Kuo says, and the main reason why Apple settled an ugly legal battle with Qualcomm last week is the to have access to 5G modem parts.
iPhone 2020 models would be 5G with Qualcomm modems
An iPhone equipped with 5G will have a faster and more dependable cellular internet connection and could give users the reason to progress from older versions as iPhone sales increase is hindering.
The new 5G iPhone 2020 models would be launched in September 2020, as Apple is usually releasing its new iPhone models in September. However, the iPhones released this September will most probably back current-generation LTE networks.
Kuo declared that Apple might adopt the 5G baseband chips made by Qualcomm (focus on mmWave markets) and Samsung (focus on Sub-6GHz markets) to lower the supply risks, to reduce costs and to have a better trading power.
iPhone sales are not as high as expected, so 5G iPhone 2020 models would boost them
Apple has sold more than 217 million iPhones in 2018, but its best year when we talk about iPhone shipments was 2015, with over 231 million. The company announced in December that it won’t share unit shipments anymore because they are not as relevant to the investor as they were before.
Kuo, who is very popular on the market for describing Apple devices way before they are launched, aims his research at investors in the companies that provide parts to Apple and other user electronics companies. He claimed that 5G could require new designs for many iPhone elements, first being the modem or “baseband chip”, and also its antenna, RF-front end, and main board.
Ming-Chi Kuo also forecasts in a different research note on Monday that Apple is redesigning the printed circuit boards within all its 2019 iPhone devices utilizing a new sort of material to make space for a bigger battery.
When you purchase a luxury vehicle, you get to join a special sort of auto club. You could literally join an auto club for luxury car owners, but we’re talking about the kind of club that needs no formal getup. When you’re cruising around town with your windows rolled down, you get to hold your head high and bask in the stylish aura of your ride. It will never be more satisfying to swing your car keys around your fingers.
Of course, joining that auto club comes with a price. You don’t want to be the auto version of “house poor,” where you spend so much money paying for your vehicle that you don’t have any money to drive it anywhere. Because luxury cars are so expensive, you should try and do whatever you can to minimize the cost of your transaction.
Here are a few tips on how to save money when you’re purchasing a luxury vehicle.
Get Pre-Approved for an Auto Loan
If you’re going to get financing for your luxury car, always get pre-approved for a loan by your lender. No matter how much cash you have on hand, it’s just smart money management. When you get pre-approved, you’ll know exactly how much you’ll be able to finance through a loan. You’re also more likely to get a good interest rate through an auto loan than if you were to seek dealer financing.
A pre-approved loan will also help you out during negotiations with the dealer. If you’re trying to buy a vehicle that’s a slightly higher price than your loan, you’ll have a good reason to ask for a lower price that matches the loan amount.
Buy Used
You could save a lot of money by buying a used luxury vehicle rather than a brand-new one. Some prospective luxury vehicle owners scoff at this idea—isn’t it more prestigious to buy a car that’s right out of the factory? Factory-smactory. Doesn’t every vehicle become a used vehicle after a week of driving it around?
In all seriousness, buying used is a great way to bring home a stylish car without breaking the bank. You might be surprised at how many used vehicles are in great condition. Consider buying a certified pre-owned vehicle, if you’re really concerned about it. A certified car is a used car that has been meticulously maintained though manufacturer-approved mechanics. Take a look at these certified Mercedes vehicles for sale and see for yourself. They’re all in prime condition, they look stunning, and they cost only a fraction of the price of a new luxury vehicle.
Shop Prices
Don’t assume that all luxury vehicles will go for the same price. Every vehicle has a manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP), which is one the manufacturer recommends the price at which the dealer should sell the car. It’s important for you to do research on your luxury vehicle’s MSRP. Never buy from a dealer who is selling the car for higher than it’s MSRP. Seek dealers who are willing to sell at a price lower than its MSRP.
Visit multiple dealers and find the best possible price. Don’t be afraid to travel to dealerships in nearby towns. Sometimes you’ll find dealers just outside of your area who have better deals than your local dealerships.
Make sure to shop prices on auto insurance, too. Auto insurance will add to your monthly auto costs, so find the insurance provider with good rates.
Trade-in Your Current Vehicle
If you currently own a vehicle, whether a Bentley or a Toyota, consider trading it in when you buy your luxury car. Some dealers, mostly used car dealers, will accept trade ins, and you can apply the cash toward the new vehicle you’re buying. Don’t get your hopes up—you won’t receive as much for your trade in as what you bought that vehicle for. And it’s doubtful that you’ll receive enough compensation to pay for your new vehicle. But a trade-in could significantly reduce the price of your luxury car. If you can’t depart with your whole car, you might be able to remove parts that you don’t need and sell the used parts online.
Buy from a Trustworthy Dealer
This tip applies mostly for those who are buying used vehicles. If you’re going to buy a used luxury car, it’s important that you have the car thoroughly inspected before you make the purchased. Used car dealers are notorious for trying to conceal the real condition of a vehicle. Always arrange to have the vehicle inspected at an auto shop that you trust. If the dealer refuses to let you have the car inspected by a mechanic of your choice, it’s likely that there could be serious issues with the vehicle. It’s important to get a vehicle that’s in good condition so you can stay safe on the road.
Are you ready to join the club? With money-saving on your mind, you’ll be able to get a top luxury car at a lesser cost.

When we are talking about GTA 6, we are talking about a series of rumors that have invaded the Internet with spec, details, the next locations, and characters. But until the actual release or official information from the company, more and more rumors and leaks are coming about the game. Of course, we take the rumors with a grain of salt, but some of them can be possible. So is the case of the new talk about the GTA 6 in-game microtransactions. Maybe the waves of rumors will force Rockstar to post an official statement about the game.
What Information We Have about Microtransactions?
The AAA games are the reason behind the transactions in a game. Players are spending a lot of money for in-game items and this trend it’s evolving more and more. An excellent example of success is GTA Online that has the microtransaction in-game and its raising the company’s revenue up to $1 billion since its launch. If on GTA Online transactions are a recipe for success, tested model that can bring the company some billion dollars, it makes sense that this method to be added to GTA 6. The latest rumors are sustaining this information too, and maybe Rockstar will not surprise us with this addition to the game.
Moreover, the idea that GTA 6 will have a cross over gameplay with GTA Online is more than welcomed by the players of the series. Having these microtransactions in the game will give the player an advantage to complete a mission. Besides this, think of the ampleness of GTA 6 will have, with a lot of side missions and a large map, especially if we think about the rumors about the cities from the game (Miami and New York). So having transactions in the game is a logic movement from Rockstar.
