Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible
Reddit has introduced a new policy that requires moderators to obtain admin approval before making subreddits private or changing their content types (such as from public to NSFW).
This move comes after last year's protests over API pricing, during which thousands of subreddits went private, causing disruptions to the platform.
Subreddits with fewer than 5,000 members or that are less than 30 days old will have their requests automatically approved. Moderators still have the ability to restrict posts for up to seven days without approval using a new “temporary events” feature.

KB5043145, the most recent optional update for Windows 11 to date, causes multiple issues for many users. The most serious one is a blue screen of death that makes the PC unbootable. Microsoft has confirmed the bug and is working on a solution.
After upgrading the device to Windows 11 OS Build 22621.4249, a number of users faced the inability to start the computer. The only solution that was of help for them is to uninstall the update from the recovery environment.
Sometimes, the bug makes Windows 11 to start into the BitLocker recover environment, especially after several failed recovery attempts.
Among the mentioned BSOD issues, users also report that the same update may prevent USB ports from working. As most modern peripheral devices connect via USB, this breaks them. Keyboards, mouses, and webcam stop working. The latter issue mainly affects N6005 and N5105 Intel NUCs, and Asus TUF / ROG laptops, and other gaming products from the same vendor.
If you are affected - then uninstall the buggy update:

Microsoft is using AI to improve Windows search
Microsoft is introducing AI-powered upgrades to Windows search on its new Copilot Plus PCs starting in November. These improvements will include a natural language search capability in File Explorer, allowing users to find files like images, documents, and emails without needing to know the exact file names.
Additionally, AI will enhance searches across Windows and Settings, while a new "Click to Do" feature, similar to Google's "Circle to Search," will let users select images or text for quick actions like searching or editing.
These AI features will rely on local NPU chips for offline searches and will be tested with Windows Insiders beginning in October.

Mozilla has rebranded its logo to now include an Ascii-art like flag!
This pixel-ish flag kind of represents the old dinosaur mascot. The entire rebrand actually came from the fact that Mozilla is mostly known for Firefox. Hence, the rebranding was done in an effort to increase their reputation further than just Firefox so that people can recognise and acknowledge other achievements that Mozilla has done.
Additionally, 3 new typefaces have been made namely: Mozilla Semi-Slab, Mozilla Sans, and Mozilla Sans Text.

Mobile Retailers Urge Ban on Chinese Brands Over Anti-Competitive Practices
Mobile retailers in India, represented by the All India Mobile Retailers Association (AIMRA), are urging the government to ban Chinese-owned brands like iQOO, Poco, and OnePlus. They accuse these brands of engaging in anti-competitive practices by selling products exclusively on e-commerce platforms like Amazon, harming local retailers and causing financial losses to the government.
AIMRA, along with the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT), is pushing for stricter e-commerce regulations to ensure fair competition and protect traditional retail businesses. They also want to address issues like predatory pricing and tax evasion through policy changes.

OnePlus is banned from selling smartphones in Germany yet again
OnePlus and Oppo are facing yet another patent dispute, this time with InterDigital over 5G and mobile technology patents. As a result, only OnePlus smartphones are currently unavailable for sale in Germany, while other products remain unaffected.
This situation is similar to a previous dispute with Nokia, which also led to a sales ban in Germany, though that issue was only recently resolved.
It's unclear when OnePlus will resume smartphone sales in the country.
