Microsoft is finally taking on one of Windows’ most annoying headaches—broken drivers and sudden Blue Screens after updates.

The Linux kernel has started integrating synchronization mechanisms that were previously only available in Windows. The first such component, NTSYNC, is already enabled by default on the Steam Deck and in fresh SteamOS builds. In practice, this doesn’t give you a 2x FPS boost, but it does eliminate the micro-stutters and weird freezes that have plagued games running under Wine for years. -

Microsoft has rolled out an unscheduled Windows 11 update. This patch didn’t arrive on Patch Tuesday and isn’t fixing security holes — instead, it’s patching up File Explorer, speeding up startup, and quietly removing the AI assistant from apps where it caused the most frustration.

For its 20th anniversary, Google Translate has rolled out a feature many have been waiting for years to see — an AI-powered pronunciation coach with real-time feedback. The app listens to the user's speech, compares it to a native speaker model, and points out exactly what needs fixing. For now, the new feature is only available on Android in the US and India for English, Spanish, and Hindi, but the very fact that it exists raises an interesting question: what should tutors and language course creators be preparing for? -

A new browser called Donut has appeared on GitHub, and it's all about total anonymity: no telemetry, spoofed digital fingerprints, and unlimited isolated profiles. The devs are positioning it as a tool for «clean» tracking‑free surfing — but this approach does have its controversial sides. -

Microsoft has finally added the option to officially remove Copilot from Windows. You’d think this is the long-awaited way to get rid of that annoying AI helper. But as always, the devil’s in the details — there’s a “delete” button, but it comes with a whole list of bizarre restrictions that turn a simple uninstall into a proper quest. -
