Zoho’s newest rollout stitches agentic AI directly into the apps enterprises already use, promising Zia-powered agents that can create leads from unread emails, auto-generate database schemas, match and assess candidates, and draft resolution documentation — a strategic push that places Zoho in more direct competition with Microsoft and Google for the enterprise productivity and agentic AI layer. Background Zoho began 2025 positioning Zia not as a bolt-on assistant but as a vertically...

Microsoft’s planned end of free support for Windows 10 has arrived, and security experts — echoed by local advisories such as the Cyber Security Association of Pennsylvania — are warning that the practical effect is real: with routine OS patching stopped, millions of devices become comparatively easier targets for attackers. Background / Overview Windows 10 launched in 2015 and enjoyed a decade-long lifecycle under Microsoft’s Modern Lifecycle policy. That lifecycle concluded on October 14...

Microsoft has confirmed that the October 14, 2025 cumulative update for Windows 11 — distributed as KB5066835 (OS builds 26100.6899 / 26200.6899 depending on branch) — can leave the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) effectively unusable by making USB keyboards and mice non‑responsive inside WinRE while those same devices continue to work normally in the full Windows desktop. Background Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) is the last‑resort toolkit built into Windows to diagnose and...

Kuwait has moved from aspiration to active deployment in government AI, announcing at a high‑profile Microsoft AI Summit that it will roll Microsoft 365 Copilot across public-sector workforces and host an “AI‑powered” Azure Region on Kuwaiti soil — commitments framed as cornerstone elements of the New Kuwait 2035 drive to build a knowledge‑based economy and a regional technology hub. Background Kuwait’s public strategy for digital transformation is tightly coupled to Vision 2035, an economic...

Microsoft’s newest Windows 11 update turns the operating system into a far more conversational, screen‑aware assistant by putting Copilot front and center — you can now say “Hey, Copilot,” show the assistant parts of your desktop for on‑screen help, and (with permission) let it carry out multi‑step tasks across apps. Background Microsoft has been steadily folding its Copilot AI into Windows, Office and Edge for more than a year. What changed this fall is scope and attitude: Copilot is being...

The Google Play Store can be run on Windows 11—but only by stepping off the official path, and those steps now come with a sharp time limit and real risks.

Microsoft's October 14, 2025 cumulative update for Windows 11 (KB5066835) introduced a high‑severity regression that can leave a PC’s primary recovery path unusable: after installing the update many systems running Windows 11 25H2 (and 24H2) report that USB keyboards and mice stop working inside the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE), preventing navigation of recovery options until Microsoft issues a targeted fix. Background / Overview Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) is the compact...

IITs, IIMs and other Indian campuses are scrambling to translate a sudden and widespread student reliance on ChatGPT and other generative AI into workable academic policy, not merely by banning or permitting tools, but by redesigning assessments, procurement and pedagogy to protect learning while capturing the productivity benefits of AI. Background / Overview Generative AI—large language models such as ChatGPT, Claude and Google’s Gemini—has moved rapidly from novelty to everyday utility...

Windows 10’s October cumulative — KB5066791 — arrived as a practical curtain call: a security‑first rollup that advances eligible 22H2 and related Windows 10 builds to OS Build 19045.6456 while also being the last freely distributed cumulative update Microsoft will push to unenrolled consumer devices; manual .msu installers are available from the Microsoft Update Catalog for administrators and users who prefer offline installs.

Microsoft has stopped delivering free, routine security and quality updates for Windows 10 — a hard lifecycle cutoff that took effect on October 14, 2025 — leaving millions of PCs able to run but no longer protected by vendor-issued OS patches unless owners choose one of the limited extension or migration paths Microsoft provided.

Background / Overview Ruka-Kuusamo sits at the southern edge of Finnish Lapland and has carved a reputation as one...

Asia‑Pacific M&A is surging, but beneath the deal‑courting headlines a quiet, technical contagion is spreading: fragmented data estates, uncontrolled “shadow AI,” and brittle integration patterns are already turning many acquisitions into value‑destruction exercises rather than growth accelerators. The hard fact for deal teams and chief data officers is simple — you can buy revenue, customers, and technology, but if you don’t know what AI and data you’re actually acquiring, those assets can...

Windows 10 has officially reached the end of its vendor-supported lifecycle, and that shift from “supported” to “unsupported” changes the security, compliance, and upgrade calculus for millions of PCs worldwide. Background / Overview Microsoft set a firm end-of-servicing date for mainstream Windows 10 editions: October 14, 2025. After that date, Microsoft will no longer ship routine OS-level security updates, cumulative quality rollups, or general product support for standard Windows 10 Home...

Man in denim kneels by a burning barrel, sparks fly, asks 'But why?'

A high‑impact regression in Microsoft's October 14, 2025 cumulative update for Windows 11 (KB5066835) has rendered the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) effectively unusable on a broad set of devices by disabling USB keyboard and mouse input inside the Safe OS — a failure Microsoft has confirmed and said it is working to fix. Background / Overview The Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) is a compact, self‑contained “Safe OS” image used by Windows to provide critical recovery tools —...

The Jaguars’ short highlight on jaguars.com is small in runtime but large in implication: a crisp timing throw turned contested catch and immediate yards after catch that flipped field position, packaged inside a team video player that also prompts viewers to make granular cookie and privacy choices before playback. The clip functions simultaneously as a teachable film‑room vignette about protection, route engineering, and finishing technique — and as a reminder that modern highlight pages...

Five months on Linux convinced a longtime Windows user that the desktop operating system they thought they needed was more of a habit than a hard requirement — the experiment that began with Linux Mint and settled into Fedora KDE Plasma revealed that most everyday workflows, many popular apps, and the comforts of a polished desktop can be replicated (and sometimes improved) outside the Windows ecosystem. Background The switch described in the original account started as a curiosity and...

Logitech’s chief executive, Hanneke Faber, surprised few and interested many when she said she would consider adding an AI agent to her board of directors — a provocative comment that crystallizes a fast‑moving corporate conversation about where AI belongs in governance, the limits of current law, and what boards must change to remain effective in an era of agentic systems. Background Hanneke Faber made the remarks while describing how Logitech already uses AI agents across meetings and...
