Windows 11 to allow disabling Bing and Microsoft Store in search

Microsoft is developing a native toggle for Windows 11 that allows users to completely disable Bing web results within the search interface. This upcoming feature aims to address long-standing complaints regarding the prioritization of web content over local files and applications. Currently, administrators must rely on manual registry modifications or group policies to achieve a local-only search experience.

OpenCV 5.0.0

Опубликован OpenCV 5.0.0 — крупный выпуск открытой библиотеки компьютерного зрения и обработки изображений. Релиз состоялся 6 июня 2026 года и уже отмечен как актуальный в репозитории проекта на GitHub. OpenCV распространяется под лицензией Apache-2.0.
Суть релиза — переход OpenCV от «классической библиотеки компьютерного зрения» к более современной платформе для CV/AI-задач: проект вычистил старое API, переработал модуль нейросетевого инференса, расширил поддержку ONNX, добавил задел для VLM/LLM-сценариев и обновил 3D/калибровочный стек. Разработчики описывают OpenCV 5.0 как ветку, теперь тоже считающуюся стабильной, а новая функциональность будет попадать преимущественно туда.

HandBrake fixes 2-pass encode crashes, WebM on Linux

A new version of HandBrake, the open-source and cross-platform media conversion tool, is available to download. HandBrake 1.11.2 is a maintenance update in the current 1.11.x stable release, which was released in March 2026 and added DNxHR and ProRes encoder support, and an AMD VCN AV1 10-bit encoder compatible with the company’s 9000 series GPUs and newer. This update is focused on fixes and finesse. A pair of bugs affecting 2-pass operations are resolved: a crash during 2-pass lossless x265 encodes, and a memory leak that occurred during 2-pass MPEG-4, MPEG-2, VP9 and FFV1 encodes. On Linux, HandBrake adds WebM […]

Google leases massive AI compute capacity from SpaceX in multi-billion dollar deal

Google has entered into a significant infrastructure agreement to pay SpaceX $920 million monthly for access to specialized artificial intelligence computing resources. Starting in October 2026 and running through June 2029, the deal provides Google with approximately 110,000 Nvidia GPUs along with associated CPUs and memory components. These resources are housed within data centers originally established by xAI, the artificial intelligence venture that merged with SpaceX earlier this year.

Inside Meta’s strategy for scaling AI models and personal agents

Meta is undergoing a significant transformation of its AI research and infrastructure to establish a new scaling ladder for its large language models. This initiative includes the creation of dedicated Superintelligence Labs focused on predictable scaling, where increased compute and data lead to measurable gains in capability. While the recent New Spark release served as a smaller-scale proof of concept, the company is currently training much larger frontier-tier models designed to compete with the industry's leading current offerings.

Proton Drive is (finally) coming to Linux desktops

Proton has confirmed it is building a native Proton Drive client for Linux desktops. The announcement came as part of a broader platform update. Proton has rebuilt Drive around a new shared SDK, with a single codebase powering its official apps on Windows, macOS, iOS, Android and web (rather than separate implementations as before). It’s this unified approach that makes it easier for the Swiss-based company to add new features and integrations across all its official apps – and make an official client for Linux, which is being build on the SDK “from the ground up”, they say. Not that […]
