The Los Angeles Rams’ 14–9 win over the Houston Texans was notable not just for a late-game stop and Matthew Stafford’s quiet climb into the 60,000-career-passing-yards club, but for the way Sean McVay’s embrace of sideline technology framed the narrative: a coach openly betting on advanced analytics and AI-powered tools to squeeze margins in a league where a few seconds or one insight can decide a game. The victory at SoFi Stadium had the feel of a small, early-season proof of concept —...

TEKLYNX’s latest product cycle tightens the company’s focus on standards, cloud connectivity, and modern runtime compatibility—rolling out what Label & Narrow Web calls the TEKLYNX 2025 family (LABEL MATRIX, LABELVIEW, CODESOFT, SENTINEL and LABEL ARCHIVE) with new features aimed at GS1 Digital Link support, expanded barcode standards (including IEC 61406), improved cloud data connectivity, native printer drivers, and enterprise readiness for .NET 8.0 and Windows Server 2025 environments...

Microsoft has told staff they must be back on-premises at least three days a week — starting in Redmond and rolling outward across the U.S. and then internationally — while giving employees who live outside their worksite a narrow window to request an exception or relocation. The change, announced by Chief People Officer Amy Coleman in an internal-facing company blog, sets a firm timetable for Redmond-area staff to be onsite by the end of February 2026 and invites exemption requests with a...

Microsoft’s September Patch Tuesday delivers a targeted corrective for two of the most disruptive regressions reported by end users and IT teams over the last month: the unexpected UAC prompts and MSI repair failures that blocked non‑admin workflows, and severe stuttering in NDI-based streaming when Display Capture is used with OBS. The cumulative package shipped as KB5065426 for Windows 11 24H2 (with companion KBs for 23H2/22H2) bundles security hardening, a servicing‑stack update, and a...

Microsoft’s September Patch Tuesday brings a substantial, feature‑heavy cumulative update to Windows 11—KB5065426—delivering a mix of visible UI polish, staged Copilot+ AI capabilities, privacy controls for on‑device generative features, and a set of bug and security fixes that administrators and enthusiasts will need to treat as more than a routine monthly patch. Background Microsoft packaged KB5065426 as the September cumulative update for Windows 11 and has pushed it to devices running...

The Department of Veterans’ Affairs has quietly moved from talk to trial: a beta AI-powered search is now live on the DVA website, the agency has published an AI transparency statement, and small-scale pilots — including an internal Microsoft Copilot trial and a proof‑of‑concept claims tool built in the Commonwealth’s GovAI environment — are being used to test whether generative AI can simplify navigation, speed claims work and reduce call‑centre demand for veterans and their families...

Microsoft has pushed a significant enforcement point into the live execution path of enterprise AI agents: Copilot Studio now offers near‑real‑time runtime security controls that can route an agent’s planned actions to external monitors (Microsoft Defender, third‑party XDRs, or customer-hosted endpoints) and receive an approve-or-block verdict while the agent runs — a capability Microsoft announced into public preview in early September 2025 and that brings step‑level policy decisioning to...

Windows 11’s 24H2 is now shipping support for Emoji 16.0 — but there’s a catch: the system emoji panel doesn’t yet expose the new icons, and rendering remains inconsistent across apps and web services. What looks like a late-but-welcome Unicode update has instead exposed a long-standing Windows problem: emoji support depends as much on rendering engines and font plumbing as it does on the actual Unicode code points. This means some apps can show the new 🫩 Face with Bags Under Eyes or 🫆...

A small Taiwanese PC‑building community may have just pulled a loose thread that explains a wave of terrifying reports about Windows 11 “bricking” SSDs: the drives that failed in public tests were running pre‑release, engineering firmware — not the production firmware shipped to regular customers — and Phison engineers have since reproduced those same failures on the exact preview images used in the tests. (theverge.com, tomshardware.com) Background / Overview Last month’s Windows 11 24H2...

Microsoft has set a firm deadline: Windows 10 support ends on October 14, 2025, and that hard date turns a decade‑old desktop platform into an active security and operational risk for any system still running it unless organizations act now. Microsoft’s public guidance is straightforward — upgrade eligible devices to Windows 11, enroll in the Windows 10 consumer Extended Security Updates (ESU) program for temporary coverage, or replace unsupported hardware with Windows 11‑capable systems —...

Microsoft’s long‑running UI mismatch — the glaring white or legacy‑colored copy/move progress window that interrupted Dark Mode sessions for years — is finally being updated in Insider builds, and enthusiasts have noticed a small but symbolic tweak: the familiar green progress bar is being swapped for a blue one that lines up better with Windows 11’s default palette. Background Windows has carried decades of UI baggage: a mixture of ancient Win32 dialogs, modern WinUI surfaces, and staged...

Microsoft pushed the September 2025 Patch Tuesday rollup to Windows 11 today, a cumulative release that—according to community reporting—carries the usual mix of security fixes, quality improvements and targeted Copilot reliability updates, but also surfaces a handful of user-facing regressions administrators and enthusiasts should know before they patch widely. Background / Overview Microsoft’s monthly Patch Tuesday remains the primary delivery vehicle for Windows security and quality...

Windows 11’s September Patch Tuesday brings a sizeable, feature-packed cumulative update—KB5065426 (Build 26100.6584)—that mixes small but welcome taskbar and File Explorer polish with deeper on-device AI components and an unusually large offline payload that deserves careful attention from both home users and IT teams. Background / Overview Microsoft released KB5065426 as part of the September 9, 2025 Patch Tuesday cycle. The update advances Windows 11 24H2 machines to Build 26100.6584 and...

Microsoft is quietly restoring a piece of the Windows 10 experience many users missed: a larger, in-your-face clock with seconds in the Notification Center — and it’s arriving alongside a set of AI shortcuts in File Explorer and new transparency controls for generative AI access in Windows 11’s privacy settings. Background When Microsoft launched Windows 11 it introduced a cleaner, more modern taskbar and system tray, but some practical bits of functionality were left behind. One of the most...

Microsoft released a September 9, 2025 hotpatch—KB5065474—for Windows 11 Enterprise LTSC 2024 that advances hotpatch coverage to a new OS build (26100.6508), addresses a notable UAC/MSI compatibility issue, and includes a known‑issue advisory that affects PowerShell Direct (PSDirect) connectivity between mixed‑patched hosts and guests. Background / Overview Hotpatching is Microsoft’s “reboot‑less” servicing model for eligible Windows 11 Enterprise (24H2 / LTSC 2024) devices that allows many...

Background Windows 11’s 24H2 servicing stream continues to receive monthly cumulative updates that mix security patches, quality fixes, and staged feature rollouts. The...

Microsoft has published KB5066360, a hotpatch that updates Windows PowerShell on Windows 11 Enterprise LTSC 2024 to OS Build 26100.6569, addressing a specific PSDirect connectivity failure that could, under narrow conditions, allow unauthorized non-administrator access between host and guest virtual machines; the package is a hotpatch (no immediate reboot required for eligible devices) and was released on September 9, 2025.
