Microsoft is still trying to unify the experience of its operating system across different form factors and devices. And Windows 10X is the corporation's latest attempt to achieve this. This is indicated by the hybrid interface, which combines an almost traditional Start (though without tiles), a layout typical of Android, as well as other aspects.

It’s important to always express your opinion,” Advincula is sure. According to Advincula, […]
It is impossible to imagine further development of microelectronics without improving semiconductor production technologies. To expand the boundaries and learn how to produce ever smaller elements on crystals, new technologies and new tools are needed. One of these technologies could be a breakthrough development by American scientists. A team of researchers from the US Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory has developed a new technique for creating and etching extremely thin films […]
Elon Musk's Boring Company project to build an underground tunnel for the underground transportation system in the area of the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) has passed an important milestone.

Google has introduced an open framework called AutoFlip, designed to crop videos taking into account the displacement of key objects. AutoFlip uses machine learning techniques to track objects in the frame and is designed as an add-on to the MediaPipe framework, which uses TensorFlow. The code is distributed under the Apache 2.0 license. In widescreen video, objects are not always in the center of the frame, so fixed edge cropping […]
After two years of development, the ncurses 6.2 library was released, designed for creating multi-platform interactive console user interfaces and supporting emulation of the curses programming interface from System V Release 4.0 (SVr4). The ncurses 6.2 release is source compatible with the ncurses 5.x and 6.0 branches, but extends the ABI. Among the innovations, the implementation of the O_EDGE_INSERT_STAY and O_INPUT_FIELD extensions is noted, allowing […]
A vulnerability has been identified in the VMM hypervisor supplied with OpenBSD that allows, through manipulation on the side of the guest system, the contents of memory areas of the host environment kernel to be overwritten. The problem is caused by the fact that part of the guest physical addresses (GPA, Guest Physical Address) is mapped to the kernel virtual address space (KVA), but the GPA does not have write protection applied to the KVA areas, which are marked only […]
The test version of Wine 5.2 has been released. Among the main changes: Improved compatibility with Windows character encoding tables. The ability to use a null driver as the main one has been implemented. Improved UTF-8 support in resource and message compilers. Fixed the use of ucrtbase as runtime for C. Closed 22 error reports in the following applications: OllyDbg 2.x; Lotus Approach; Free PDF to Word […]
Why GCP? When writing telegrams for bots, I came across the question of how to quickly and freely make the bot work constantly. The Heroku and Pythonanywhere options have too small limits if you have more than one bot. So I decided to use GCP. The platform provides $300 free for a year + huge discounts when using these funds (up to 94%). How to host […]
