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. The first real step toward “winning back the fans,” or just another attempt to smooth things over before the next scandal?

Budget GPUs Clash in Games and Reveal an Unexpected Imbalance
In tests of mid-range 1080p graphics cards, three different market approaches have collided once again: the performance play, the value play, and the VRAM capacity play. In the latest face-off from ComputerBase, the contenders were the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT (16GB), NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 (8GB), and Intel Arc B580 (12GB). The results didn’t just show a gap in FPS — they also demonstrated how quickly 8GB of VRAM becomes a bottleneck, even at Full HD.

The End of Vision Pro: Apple Pulls the Plug on Its Expensive Headset and Shifts Strategy
