Steam will stop supporting Windows 32‑bit installations on January 1, 2026, a move that, if confirmed and implemented as reported, will leave the vanishingly small number of users still running Windows 10 in its 32‑bit form without client updates, security fixes, or official Steam Support help —...

Tiny11 is the latest reminder that the Windows upgrade debate has moved far beyond marketing slogans: while Microsoft insists many older PCs are unsupported for Windows 11, independent projects like NTDEV’s Tiny11 are actively proving the opposite — and forcing a much more uncomfortable...

Chromium developers have closed a high‑severity upstream bug — tracked as CVE‑2025‑10201 — that the Chromium project describes as an “inappropriate implementation in Mojo” which could be abused, via a crafted HTML page, to bypass Chrome’s site‑isolation protections on Android, Linux and...
NTDEV’s ecosystem of third‑party builders has a new, headline‑grabbing member: nano11, a PowerShell‑driven script that pushes the tiny‑Windows idea to its limits by producing an ultra‑small Windows 11 image — the developer says an ISO a little over 2 GB and runnable installs in the sub‑3 GB...
The tiny11builder project has received a significant refresh: the PowerShell-based builder now supports Windows 11 version 25H2 builds, adds explicit removal of Copilot and the new Outlook for Windows client, switches to more efficient recovery compression for smaller ISOs, and introduces...

Kiosks are no longer novelty appliances tucked into lobbies — they’re mission-critical touchpoints for retail, healthcare, hospitality, and education, and choosing the right kiosk software in 2025 can be the difference between a seamless self-service experience and a costly operational headache...
In Windows 10 version 2004, we are introducing the concept of Hosted Apps to the Windows App Model. Hosted apps are registered as independent apps on Windows, but require a host process in order to run. An example would be a script file which requires its host (eg: Powershell or Python) to be...
Microsoft cloud and mobile technologies deliver a simple, efficient service for getting a taxi ride in crowded Bogota, Colombia. Sometimes great ideas spring from mundane events. For Juan Salcedo, it started with the hassle of trying to get home on a rainy Friday afternoon.
