Thread 'Generative AI në Biznes: Përfitimet, Rreziqet dhe Hapat për Zbatim'
Përdorimi i ngadalshëm, eksperimentet e shumta dhe pasojat e mundshme në tregun e punës tregojnë se generative AI po transformon mënyrën se si bizneset funksionojnë, por përfitimet e mëdha ekonomike ende mbeten kryesisht premtuese, jo të realizuara. Overview Në vitet e fundit, interesimi për modelët gjenerues të Inteligjencës Artificiale (si GPT-4 dhe rivalët) është rritur fuqishëm, duke tërhequr investime masive dhe duke rritur vlerën e tregut të kompanive teknologjike. Megjithatë, adoptimi...
Thread 'Free 12-Month Microsoft 365 Personal with Copilot for U.S. College Students'
Microsoft is giving eligible U.S. college students a free, full 12‑month subscription to Microsoft 365 Personal with Copilot built in — a time‑limited offer that bundles Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, 1 TB of OneDrive storage and Microsoft’s generative AI assistant into students’ personal Microsoft accounts when they verify school enrollment by October 31, 2025. Background / Overview Microsoft announced the student promotion as part of a broader education and workforce push...
Thread 'Windows 10 Light Mode: A System-Wide Bright Theme for Shell and Apps'
Microsoft’s long-running flirtation with theme options in Windows has taken a decisive, system-wide turn: Windows 10’s Light Mode moves beyond the piecemeal light accents of earlier releases and applies a unified, pale palette across the system shell — including the Start menu, taskbar, Action Center, flyouts and more. The change swaps many of the black and dark-gray borders users have become used to for white and soft gray surfaces, and it arrives as a first-class option alongside the...
Thread 'Spielberg and Call of Duty: The Clash Over Auteur Freedom and IP Control'
Steven Spielberg nearly directed a Call of Duty movie — and the story of how that almost-happened illuminates a larger, unavoidable tension at the intersection of blockbuster Hollywood and corporate-owned videogame IP: creative auteurs want the freedom to shape tone and audience, while publishers increasingly insist on retaining control over their most valuable brands. According to multiple industry reports, Spielberg and his Amblin team pitched a Call of Duty film to Activision (in...
Thread 'Windows 11 KB5063878 SSD Issue: Engineering Firmware Theory and Guidance'
A cluster of community test benches and vendors dug into one of this summer’s more alarming update chases: after Microsoft’s August 12, 2025 cumulative for Windows 11 24H2 (KB5063878) some users reported NVMe drives disappearing mid‑write and, in a minority of cases, returning corrupted or unreadable — but the official industry response so far points to a more complicated, and possibly non‑software, explanation. Multiple outlets and vendors say Microsoft’s telemetry and Phison’s lab...
Thread 'Dell 14 Plus Review: A Reliable, Boring Workhorse for Fleet and Students'
The Dell 14 Plus arrives not as a headline-stealer but as a steady, unimaginative workhorse: modestly priced, competent where it needs to be, and unapologetically conservative in every visible choice. For buyers whose priority is reliability over razzle-dazzle—IT fleets, students, knowledge workers who treat a laptop as a tool rather than a badge—this is precisely the kind of product that makes sense. The machine’s strengths are plain and measurable: modern AMD Ryzen AI silicon in some SKUs...
Thread 'Windows 11 25H2 Release Preview: Enablement Package Explained for IT Pros'
Microsoft has quietly opened the gates: Windows 11 version 25H2 is now available to testers in the Windows Insider Release Preview channel as a small, fast enablement package that flips features already staged in the 24H2 servicing branch — which means you can install the 2025 annual update on eligible PCs today, test it in your environment, and then opt out of Insider previewing while keeping the new version once the public rollout begins. Background Microsoft’s recent servicing model for...
Thread 'Speed Up Windows 11 Internet: A Practical Optimization Guide'
If your Windows 11 PC feels sluggish online, the problem is rarely magical — it’s usually fixable with a targeted combination of settings, driver updates, and simple network housekeeping. This guide pulls together the most reliable, up‑to‑date ways to speed up internet on Windows 11, explains why each change helps, and highlights the trade‑offs and risks before you press Apply. Read this if you want a practical checklist to increase internet speed on Windows 11, whether you’re chasing faster...
Thread 'IFA 2025: AI Goes Main Stage in Home Tech - with Robots, Pet Tech, and Smart Appliances'
IFA 2025 made one thing unavoidably clear: artificial intelligence is no longer an experimental sidebar at trade shows — it’s the main stage. From conversational TV companions to penguin-like domesticated robots and a self‑flushing cat toilet that promises to log your pet’s health metrics, AI was embedded in products across every hall and price point. What looked like marketing hyperbole a few years ago has become tangible product engineering: AI is being baked into hardware, appliances, and...
Thread 'Windows 11 KB5063878 NVMe SSD Failures and the Pre-Production Firmware Hypothesis'
The latest turn in the Windows 11 SSD story suggests the worst-case outcomes may be narrowly concentrated among pre‑production reviewer samples rather than across retail drives — but the incident still exposes fragile chains of co‑engineering between Windows, NVMe controllers and SSD firmware, and it deserves careful attention from anyone who stores irreplaceable data on NVMe drives. Background / Overview Within days of Microsoft’s August cumulative rollup for Windows 11 (commonly tracked as...
Thread 'Silksong Overloads Stores; Mint Zara, Copilot Sidebar, Legion Go 2, 007 First Light'
The week’s tech headlines read like a cross‑section of modern computing: a runaway indie game launch that briefly overwhelmed multiple digital stores, a conservative Linux distribution shipping long‑sought biometric polish, Mozilla experimenting with AI chatbots in the browser sidebar (now including Microsoft Copilot in Nightly), a new premium Windows handheld from Lenovo, and a cinematic first look at IO Interactive’s James Bond reboot. These stories matter because they touch three...
Thread 'Chrome Safety Check auto-revokes idle clipboard permissions in Canary'
Google’s Chrome is quietly treating copy-and-paste as a first‑class privacy risk: Canary builds now show Safety Check automatically removing clipboard permissions from sites you haven’t visited recently, surface a clear “Removed permissions for [x] sites” notice in the menu, and give users a one‑click path to restore access — signaling that clipboard access is no longer a casual, forever‑granted capability. Background Chrome’s Safety Check has evolved from a static checklist into a proactive...
Thread 'NotebookLM and Copilot: A Unified Research-to-Creation Pipeline'
Pairing Google’s NotebookLM with Microsoft Copilot as a single, unified research-to-creation pipeline can transform a clumsy, multi‑tab workflow into a fast, controllable content engine — a practical approach that shifts the hard work from juggling windows to orchestrating tools. Overview The basic idea is deceptively simple: use Microsoft Copilot as an intelligent, conversational web search and drafting assistant, and treat NotebookLM as the source‑bound knowledge workspace that ingests...
Thread 'Microsoft OneGov Copilot Free 12 Months and Broad Federal Cloud Discounts'
Microsoft’s deal with the General Services Administration (GSA) to offer Microsoft 365 Copilot and broad Azure and Microsoft 365 discounts to federal agencies is one of the most consequential technology procurement moves in recent memory — a governmentwide push that promises major near‑term savings and a rapid pathway for AI to enter routine government workflows. The agreement makes Microsoft 365 Copilot available at no cost for up to 12 months for eligible Microsoft G5 customers, provides...
Thread 'AI Forecasts vs Reality in the Sinner-Auger-Aliassime US Open Semi'
The semi-final at the 2025 US Open between World No. 1 Jannik Sinner and Canada’s Félix Auger‑Aliassime was a study in expectation versus reality: the pre-match narrative — amplified by mainstream previews and a chorus of AI platforms that overwhelmingly favoured Sinner — largely proved correct on the winner, but the way the match unfolded exposed the limits of deterministic AI forecasting and underlined why live sport remains a poor fit for single-point predictions. The widely read preview...
Thread 'Galaxy S26 Edge: 200MP main, 50MP ultrawide in a 5.5mm-thin flagship'
Samsung’s next Edge model is shaping up to be a study in contrasts: a radically slimmer body and a camera island that spans almost the device’s full width, while leaked specs suggest Samsung will push camera resolution parity with its Ultra line by bringing a 200MP main sensor and a newly upgraded 50MP ultra‑wide to the Galaxy S26 Edge — a move that mirrors the S25 Ultra’s recent ultrawide revision and signals a strategic shift in how Samsung differentiates its S‑series variants. Background...
Thread 'Boost Windows 11 Battery Life by Tuning or Pausing the Search Indexer'
If your Windows 11 laptop’s battery life feels shorter than it should, the usual advice—dim the screen, close background apps, choose a power‑efficient mode—helps, but it may not be the whole story; one often‑overlooked background system, the Windows Search Indexer, can silently chew CPU, disk I/O and RAM and meaningfully shorten runtime. The good news is that the indexer is controllable: you can tune, pause, or disable it when you need maximum battery life, and then restore it when you’re...
Thread 'AI Personas at Work: What Your Model Choice Says About Risk and Privacy'
The AI you keep open in a browser tab is doing more than answering queries — it's broadcasting something about how you think, what you value, and how you want the world to work. A recent cultural riff that maps people to their preferred models — from OpenAI’s GPT‑5 users to xAI’s Grok fans and the anarchic LLaMA tinkerers — is more than a clever listicle: it crystallizes a shift in how technology mediates identity. The piece that started the conversation is charmingly reductive by design...
Thread 'Windows 11 Insider adds quick en dash and em dash shortcuts'
Windows 11’s typing ergonomics just got a small but decisive polish: Insiders can now insert an en dash (–) and an em dash (—) with single memorable keystrokes — and that change is already shipping in recent Dev and Beta channel preview builds. This is the kind of tiny usability fix that saves seconds across thousands of typing sessions and removes one of the little friction points that has long frustrated writers, editors, and anyone who composes text without a numeric keypad. Background /...
Thread 'OpenAI's Open-Weight GPT-OSS Reshapes Microsoft Partnership and Multi-Cloud'
OpenAI’s decision to publish high‑quality, open‑weight language models has suddenly reframed its relationship with Microsoft — shifting what until recently felt like a settled strategic partnership into a contested terrain of contracts, cloud economics, and platform control. The company’s gpt‑oss family (two models, “gpt‑oss‑120b” and “gpt‑oss‑20b”) was announced and distributed under a permissive Apache 2.0 license and made available through multiple hosting partners — including Hugging...
