Windows 11 places a remarkably flexible set of screenshot tools under a handful of keyboard shortcuts, letting you capture full screens, active windows, selected regions, or even short video snips with a few keystrokes — and understanding which key does what, where the image is saved, and how cloud sync or OEM keyboards can change behavior is now essential for anyone who shares screenshots regularly. Background Windows has long exposed a basic Print Screen key (PrtScn) for captures, but...

Hautlence’s new racing-inspired Linear Giacomo Agostini is presented as more than a commemorative dial treatment — it’s pitched as a mechanical statement that attempts to translate the adrenaline and engineering ethos of motorcycle racing into one of the most mechanically theatrical wristwatch formats: a linear retrograde jumping hour paired with a flying tourbillon. The announcement frames the timepiece as a limited-edition intersection of Swiss haute horlogerie and Giacomo Agostini’s...

Windows has a lot going for it under the hood — a mature kernel, a battle-tested storage stack, a sprawling driver ecosystem — and yet for many long-time users the day-to-day experience feels noisy, opinionated, and friction-filled. That’s the blunt diagnosis former Microsoft engineer Dave Plummer lays out in his recent video and interviews, and his prescription is simple, pragmatic, and aimed squarely at restoring choice, predictability, and respect for power users in the operating system...

When two headline-grabbing cloud failures struck in rapid succession this October, the outages did more than break apps and frustrate users — they reopened an urgent national conversation about how much of the country’s digital life depends on a handful of hyperscale providers, and whether regulators should treat those providers like critical infrastructure. The first major incident, a cascading DNS/control-plane failure tied to Amazon DynamoDB in AWS’s US‑EAST‑1 (Northern Virginia) region...

Windows Vista arrived to a chorus of criticism and ridicule, yet beneath the groovy glass and infuriating UAC prompts it quietly delivered dozens of platform-level technologies that still underpin modern Windows — many of which were overlooked or forgotten as the operating system’s reputation hardened. Background / Overview Windows Vista reached release milestones late in 2006 and into January 2007, shipping after a protracted development cycle that reset several times and trimmed ambitious...

Microsoft is quietly moving the Phone Link app’s in-built gallery into File Explorer, removing the standalone "Photos" view from the Phone Link interface and directing users to manage mobile images and videos through Windows’ file manager instead.

That in-app Photos view...

Microsoft is quietly moving the Phone Link app’s built‑in photo gallery into File Explorer, removing the Photos gallery from Phone Link and nudging users to manage mobile photos and videos through Windows’ File Explorer instead. This change is already appearing as an in‑app banner in Phone Link that tells users “Photos is moving to File Explorer” and points them to the Settings → Bluetooth & devices → Mobile devices → Manage devices flow so they can enable the File Explorer mount for their...

Countries are rushing to turn schoolrooms into competitive infrastructure for the AI era, and the result is a dizzying, uneven global sprint: from Beijing’s mandatory AI hours for six‑year‑olds to Estonia’s nation‑wide ChatGPT Edu rollout, state laws in the United States that compel curriculum updates, and India’s plan to teach AI from Class 3. The pattern is clear — AI in education is no longer an optional enrichment; it’s being framed as critical national infrastructure, economic strategy...

Australia’s Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) has quietly begun a measured experiment with a ChatGPT-based assistant called CLIKChat, putting roughly 300 staff in its claims and benefits teams through a proof‑of‑concept to test whether generative AI can make policy lookup, claims triage and customer-facing conversations smoother and faster. The department says the tool is for internal use only, does not access veteran records or personal data, and will not make decisions — a human...

The Delhi High Court’s sharp rebuke of Patanjali’s recent Chyawanprash commercial—where the ad reportedly labels competing products as “dhoka” (fraud)—has turned what looked like a routine advertising spat into a high‑stakes legal and reputational contest between two of India’s most prominent Ayurvedic brands. Background Patanjali’s 25‑second commercial, fronted by Baba Ramdev, promotes “Patanjali Special Chyawanprash” with an emphatic claim of being the original and the true power of...
