Channeling the best of its top-end mouse tech, Razer's latest iteration of its Wolverine V3 Pro controller could be perfect for those looking to gain an edge in competitive play

TechRadar News - Thu, 08/14/2025 - 06:43
  • Razer's Wolverine V3 Pro 8K PC has been released, an evolution of the Wolverine V3 Pro controller
  • The controller features Razer’s 8000 Hz HyperPolling tech, which is also offered in Razer's impressive Viper 8K gaming mouse, for the best input response
  • A Razer Wolverine V3 Tournament Edition 8K PC is also available for purchase

Razer has announced the launch of its Wolverine V3 Pro 8K PC, a next-generation controller built specifically for PC gaming and featuring new improvements.

As the next evolution of the Wolverine V3 Pro controller, this latest model features Razer’s 8000 Hz HyperPolling technology for both wired and wireless gaming, which should offer an impressive "near-instantaneous" input response for first-person shooter (FPS) gaming.

This tech was also present in Razer's excellent Viper 8K gaming mouse, one of the fastest, most responsive gaming mice TechRadar has ever seen.

The Wolverine V3 Pro 8K PC also offers TMR (Tunnel Magnetoresistance) Thumbsticks with swappable caps and provides anti-drift performance and long-lasting durability, which is a must for pinpoint accuracy in FPS games.

It's also Razer's lightest wireless esports controller to date, featuring an ergonomic shape that reduces hand fatigue during long gaming sessions, four mouse click back buttons, and two claw grip bumpers that are fully remappable, Razer Pro HyperTriggers, and more.

The controller also comes packaged with a carrying case and a 2m braided cable for portability.

"PC gamers have long demanded a controller that doesn’t compromise on speed, precision, or customization," said Nick Bourne, head of mobile and console division at Razer. "With the Wolverine V3 Pro 8K PC, we’ve delivered exactly that — a controller built specifically for the PC ecosystem.

"From the industry’s fastest polling rate to our lightest wireless form factor, this is the definitive device for competitive PC players who want every advantage."

Razer is also launching the Razer Wolverine V3 Tournament Edition 8K PC, a wired variant offering the aforementioned features "designed for players who demand uncompromising performance and zero-latency input."

"Engineered with the same elite-level features as its wireless counterpart, the Tournament Edition delivers precision and responsiveness through a direct wired connection, making it the ideal choice for competitive gamers," Razer said.

The Razer Wolverine V3 Pro 8K PC is now available for purchase at $199.99 / £179.99 GBP, while the Razer Wolverine V3 Tournament Edition 8K PC will cost $119.99 / £99.99 GBP.

Microsoft's new print feature will mean an end to secrets being left in the printer for everyone to see

TechRadar News - Thu, 08/14/2025 - 06:28
  • Universal Print anywhere, or pull printing, is now generally available for Microsoft 365
  • Users authenticate print jobs when they arrive at their chosen printer
  • It avoids privacy blunders and waste from duplicates

Microsoft has released 'Universal Print anywhere' for all Microsoft 365 organizations at no extra cost, all in a bid to improve security by avoiding erroneous prints to wrong locations.

The company's Nishant Lakhanpal explained in a blog post that users can "print securely from any location and retrieve their documents at any printer" – a feature which has become known as 'pull print'.

It means that users will have to authorize print jobs once they arrive at their chosen printer, meaning important or private documents won't automatically print and end up in unwanted hands.

Microsoft brings pull printing to all eligible users

The feature works by sending print jobs without selecting a specific printer in advance, so documents can be retrieved from any registered corporate printer by authenticating on the device. It also saves users from having to trawl through long printer lists to find the right printer – which often leads to mistakes.

"Universal Print anywhere ensures that confidential documents are never left on printers for unauthorized viewing," Lakhanpal wrote.

Apart from the security benefits, Microsoft also notes that pull printing helps to reduce waste by avoiding duplicate printing caused by forgotten or uncollected print jobs.

"The feature is included with your existing Universal Print licensing at no additional cost," Microsoft confirmed.

Handily, Universal Print anywhere works across Windows and macOS platforms, meaning that all employees can use the functionality without being bound to Microsoft's own operating system. To participate with Universal Print anywhere, admins must register printers to the network.

Looking ahead, Microsoft has also committed to extending Universal Print anywhere to even more OEMs to ensure maximum device compatibility and support.

Tearing your hair out because you can't sign up for Windows 10 extended updates? New patch fixes annoying bug and makes support to October 2026 available for all

TechRadar News - Thu, 08/14/2025 - 06:27
  • Windows 10 has a new update for August
  • It rolls out the offer of extended support until October 2026 to everyone
  • Microsoft has also fixed a bug that caused the sign-up process to crash

Windows 10's latest update is an important one in terms of the impending End of Life for the operating system, as it rolls out the offer of extended support (beyond October 2025) to all users – and fixes a bug that meant some people weren't able to successfully sign up for said offer.

Windows Latest noticed that the August update for Windows 10 (known as KB5063709) brings in the Extended Security Updates (ESU) option for everyone.

Some folks (a minority) have already had the ESU offer – which appears in the Windows Update panel – with a previous update, but the KB5063709 patch brings it to all Windows 10 PCs ahead of the October deadline for support ending.

For some of those who have already seen the ESU option, though – which fires up an enrollment wizard that facilitates signing up – there was a frustrating bug that meant the process didn't work.

As Windows Latest points out, that wizard was crashing (either immediately, or partway through the process) for some Windows 10 users, leaving them rather bewildered as to how they were going to get their extended support sorted.

However, we're told that Microsoft has resolved this issue with the August update, just in time for the wider rollout of the ESU.

Analysis: Wizard mended

So, if you've previously tried to enroll for extended support using the ESU wizard in Windows Update but it was crashing – either becoming unresponsive, or bombing out entirely – try again after installing this new patch for Windows 10, an you should be okay, fingers crossed.

And if you've never seen the ESU offer and you were wondering where on earth it was, then check back in Windows Update after applying the August update. You should see the offer of extended support on the right-hand side of the Windows Update panel.

To remind you, there are a few choices as to how you can sign up for the ESU program, one of which is to pay $30 for the extra year of support it grants (through to October 2026). If you'd prefer to get extended support for free, you can do so using another choice, namely syncing your PC's settings to OneDrive (not your files, note – just the settings). A third option is to spend 1,000 Microsoft Rewards points, if you have that many.

It's also worth remembering that you'll need a Microsoft account to sign up for the ESU program.

UK immigration system targeted by hackers - dangerous new phishing campaign hits Sponsorship Management System

TechRadar News - Thu, 08/14/2025 - 06:04
  • Mimecast uncovers phishing campaign targeting the UK Home Office
  • Accounts are being stolen through phishing emails and fake websites
  • The fake sites are almost indistinguishable

A phishing campaign has been uncovered by Mimecast researchers targeting the Home Office Sponsorship Management System (SMS).

The main aim of the campaign appear to be to compromise access to accounts, which can then be sold on the dark web, extorting organizations through the theft of sensitive data, and creating fraudulent Certificates of Sponsorship (CoS).

The campaign doesn’t just affect organizations with sponsor license privileges, but threatens to undermine the entire UK immigration system.

UK Home Office at risk

The attackers begin the campaign by sending emails that closely resemble legitimate emails distributed by the Home Office, using the same branding and stylization. The emails include an urgent call to action that threatens account suspension if the user doesn’t log in.

The victims are guided to a fake login page via a captcha-gated URL that looks very similar to the legitimate URL used by the Home Office. After completing the captcha, the user lands on a cloned Home Office login page.

The only differences between the legitimate and illegitimate pages are in the form submission. The fake page directs credentials to an attacker-controlled script, where the exposed credentials can be used to log in to the victims account.

With the stolen accounts, the attackers can then create fake job offers and visa sponsorship schemes, and charge victims tens of thousands of pounds to access them.

The best protection against phishing campaigns such as this one is constant vigilance. Always double check URLs and be cautious of urgent calls to action.

A full list of the indicators from this phishing campaign can be found on the Mimecast blog.

How to watch Premier League 2025/26 on Peacock from anywhere

TechRadar News - Thu, 08/14/2025 - 05:43
Watch Premier League on Peacock

NBC is the exclusive home network of the EPL in the US, wrapping up the rights until at least 2028. Every single game of the 2025/26 Premier League season is available to stream on Peacock – with many live as they happen – and you can watch them all online from anywhere with a VPN.

Season dates: August 15 2025 – May 24 2026

Stream every match: Peacock

Download a VPN to watch overseas

Sure as night follows day, the pinnacle of English football is back for another jam-packed season of 380 games between August and next May. Liverpool is the club with a target on its back, as Arsenal, Chelsea and usurped champions Man City all seek a way to get their hands on the iconic Premier League trophy.

This will also be the year that the likes of Aston Villa, Newcastle and Nottingham Forest all try to break the domination of the top four. And for Man United and Tottenham Hotspur – who finished 15th and 17th respectively last time out – it's going to be a season of refresh and rebuild in order to propel themselves back to the top half.

For promoted Burnley, Leeds and, back in the top flight after a decade away, Sunderland, it's all about survival. While Wolves, West Ham, Fulham and a newly homes Everton will all be desperate to be dragged into a relegation dogfight.

Regardless of who you're supporting this season, read on as we explain how to watch the Premier League on Peacock from anywhere in the world.

How to watch Premier League on Peacock in the US

All games of the 2025/26 EPL season will be streamed on Peacock, with many of the matches exclusive to the online platform or simulcast with NBC.

The Peacock price starts with the Premium plan at $10.99 a month and you can get 12 months for the price of 10 by opting for an annual subscription. This includes 4K streams and access to the entire Peacock catalog.

For an extra $6 per month you can upgrade to the ad-free Peacock Premium Plus, with which you also get the option to download shows to watch offline.

Note that EPL games chosen to be shown on the USA Network will not be live streamed on Peacock. You will have to wait until the next day to stream those matches in full.

How to watch Premier League on Peacock from anywhere

Peacock is only available to watch in the US, which means it won't work if you try to stream EPL soccer when overseas on business or vacation. However, you can always download a VPN to overcome these regional restrictions and access Peacock as normal when you're outside the US. You may be surprised how simple it is to do.

Watch Premier League on Peacock from anywhere with one of the best VPNs:
