OpenAI’s ChatGPT still sits at the top of the chatbot mountain, but the plateau is shifting: competitors are chipping away at market share, new viral features are driving rapid adoption for rivals, and the generative-AI landscape is moving from a one‑horse race to a crowded, fast‑moving contest with meaningful technical, commercial, and regulatory consequences. Background The generative-AI market that exploded into mainstream awareness with the launch of ChatGPT has matured into a...

Microsoft’s October cumulative (KB5066835) has left a surprising and dangerous gap in the operating system’s safety net: after installing the update many Windows 11 systems can no longer accept USB keyboard or mouse input inside the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE), making built‑in recovery tools unusable until Microsoft ships a fix. Background / Overview Windows ships a small, separate recovery image called the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) that runs outside the full OS to...

Microsoft’s mid‑October moves changed the Windows landscape in one week: Windows 10’s free mainstream support ended, Microsoft opened a one‑year consumer Extended Security Updates (ESU) bridge while simultaneously accelerating Windows 11’s Copilot‑first vision — including the public awaken‑word “Hey, Copilot” and Copilot Vision — even as October cumulative updates introduced a serious WinRE regression that can leave recovery menus inaccessible on affected machines. Background Microsoft’s...

My laptop has never been happier since I learned to treat Windows 11 like a system you can inspect, diagnose, and repair yourself — using five built-in troubleshooting tools that stop most problems before they become a repair-shop bill. Overview Windows 11 ships with a compact toolbox that covers the majority of everyday faults: slow performance, unresponsive apps, driver problems, boot failures, and mysterious errors. Learning to use Task Manager, Event Viewer, System Restore, Device...

Travis Hunter’s first NFL touchdown — a 34‑yard sprint-and-score that electrified Jaguars fans and briefly flipped the momentum of a difficult London afternoon — arrived as a compact, high‑impact moment that revealed as much about Jacksonville’s offensive design as it did about the realities of consuming team video on a modern, ad‑supported site. The play itself was textbook timing plus contested catch turned into open field, and the highlight package published on the Jaguars’ site exposes...

ChatGPT has quietly become a daily habit for many Filipinos: a new global survey finds that roughly four in ten internet users in the Philippines used ChatGPT in the past month, placing the country among the world’s heaviest adopters of conversational AI—but the headline numbers hide important methodological differences, measurement traps, and real-world risks that Windows users, IT pros, and enterprises need to understand before treating the tool as a routine productivity shortcut...

NVIDIA and OpenAI sit at the center of a modern AI circuit: one builds the engines that turn raw silicon into neural computation, the other writes the blueprints that run on them — together they form the infrastructure layer most startups, enterprises, and investors now assume will be there when they flip the switch. This concentration of capability and influence is accelerating product cycles and lowering the barrier to high‑impact AI, but it also compounds supply, legal, governance, and...

Five years of quiet polish have turned a RetroArch core into a standalone DOS emulation player: DOSBox Pure Unleashed is now available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, packaging Psyraven’s user-friendly DOSBox Pure experience into a compact, focused desktop app with its own UI, archival game handling, experimental Windows 9x support, and modern conveniences aimed at making old PC games feel as turnkey as console ports. Background DOSBox Pure began life as a fork of DOSBox created and...

AI is moving out of the solo-workbench and into the conference room: tools that once boosted individual throughput are now reshaping how teams define knowledge, plan work, and make decisions — but that transformation brings new design, governance, and trust challenges that organizations must solve before they scale. Background / Overview Generative AI’s earliest wins at work were individual: faster drafts, quicker code, and automated summaries that let people reclaim minutes — sometimes...

Microsoft’s Copilot is quietly being stretched into a one-stop creative-and-commerce hub: recent tests indicate Microsoft is adding a video-generation option inside the Copilot Composer that appears to use OpenAI’s Sora 2, while the Copilot sidebar is gaining a dedicated Shopping tab and a rebranded media gallery named Imagine — changes that tighten Copilot’s grip on both content creation and transaction flows inside Windows and the Edge ecosystem. Background Microsoft has spent the last two...

The clip of Brian Thomas Jr. slipping into Rams territory on a 24‑yard catch is short, but it tells a longer story: a timing route executed under pressure, a contested‑catch that produced valuable yards after contact, and a microcosm of both Jacksonville’s offensive promise and its fragile margins as the season unfolds. Background The Jaguars’ official highlight reel — the team‑produced clip that surfaced on jaguars.com — frames the play as a textbook late‑game sequencing moment: a precision...

Microsoft’s Copilot is quietly experimenting with a new, tutor‑style experience — an experimental Study and Learn mode surfaced in test builds that pairs a specially styled avatar named Mico (sometimes reported as “Miko”) with voice-driven tutoring, a yellow Copilot appearance, and a persistent virtual board intended to deliver visual explanations during guided study sessions. Background Microsoft has been evolving Copilot from a text-first productivity assistant into a multimodal platform...

Microsoft’s decision to close the book on Windows 10 this October has been accompanied by one of the company’s boldest repositionings in years: turn your PC from a passive tool into an AI-first companion you can talk to, show things to, and — with appropriate permissions — let act on your behalf. The move is strategic, messy, and consequential: the formal end-of-support for Windows 10 is a hard lifecycle event, and Microsoft’s simultaneous push to ship deeper, voice- and vision-enabled...

Microsoft’s October cumulative for Windows 11 has delivered a high‑severity regression: after installing the October 14, 2025 update (KB5066835) many users and administrators report that the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) becomes unresponsive — USB keyboards and mice stop working inside recovery, leaving built‑in repair tools inaccessible until Microsoft issues a fix. Background / Overview Windows updates routinely include two kinds of changes: fixes for the running operating system...

A tidal wave of Xbox releases crashes into consoles and PC this week, stretching from high‑octane first‑party showpieces to a flood of indie curios and nostalgia remasters — and Microsoft’s changing Game Pass calculus is the invisible current shaping how players will sample, buy, and keep these titles. Major highlights include the long‑awaited return of the Ninja Gaiden franchise with NINJA GAIDEN 4, the narrative vampire sequel Vampire: The Masquerade — Bloodlines 2, soothing simulation...

Microsoft has confirmed that the Windows 11 October cumulative update (KB5066835) introduced a regression that can render the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) unresponsive — USB keyboards and mice stop working inside WinRE after the update, preventing users from navigating recovery options until a targeted fix is released. Background Windows ships a compact, separate recovery image called WinRE (Windows Recovery Environment) which runs outside the full operating system and provides tools...

Microsoft’s latest Windows 11 update moves Copilot out of the sidebar and into the operating system itself, turning the assistant into a system‑level, multimodal companion that can listen, see, and—with careful permissioning—act on a user’s behalf. Background / Overview Microsoft has spent the last two years stitching generative AI across Windows, Office, and Edge. The October 2025 wave of updates is notable not because it adds a single headline feature, but because it reframes Copilot as a...

Microsoft’s October 14, 2025 cumulative for Windows 11 (KB5066835) has introduced a critical regression that can render the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) unresponsive: after installing the update, USB keyboards and mice may not work inside WinRE, preventing users from navigating recovery options like Startup Repair, Safe Mode, System Restore, Reset this PC and UEFI/firmware entry. Microsoft has publicly confirmed the problem and is investigating while administrators and community...

FlyOOBE’s latest publicized build — reported as 1.40.564 in recent software roundups — doubles down on a familiar promise: make Windows 11 installation and first‑boot setup work the way technicians and privacy‑minded users want, even on machines Microsoft’s installer would mark “unsupported.” The update refines the already‑established bypass mechanics for TPM, Secure Boot, CPU generation and RAM checks while folding more Out‑Of‑Box Experience (OOBE) automation and the...

Sometimes a single caption can do more reputational damage than a thousand product briefings, and the recent Know Your Meme image quip—“Sometimes the vibes are off, you know? Still I’d trust them more than Windows 11”—is a compact case study in how meme culture amplifies anxieties about modern operating systems. Background / Overview Know Your Meme began life as a web series and wiki project that chronicled the life cycle of internet jokes and trends, and has since evolved into a central...
