ChromeOS updates end in 2034 as Googlebook migration plans emerge

Google will end regular ChromeOS updates and security patches in mid-2034, potentially cutting short support for some Chromebooks. ChromeOS is the existing operating system for Chromebooks, while Googlebook OS is a new Android-focused platform designed for Googlebook laptops. The company now says many newer models will be eligible to move to Googlebook OS, introduced with Googlebooks launching October 4.

Reset Windows 11 password: Microsoft account, local account, Utilman trick

If you are locked out of a Windows 11 PC, the correct reset method depends on the account type. A Microsoft account password can be reset online, while a local account password can be reset from the sign-in screen, from a second administrator account, or offline in the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE). As a last resort, the Utilman trick replaces the Accessibility utility on the logon screen with a command prompt. This guide walks you through all three approaches and their limitations.

Meta’s Muse reaches No. 1 on Apple’s App Store as AI agents gain momentum

Meta’s Muse has reached No. 1 on the U.S. Apple App Store’s free-app chart, intensifying the debate over Meta’s AI comeback and the rise of consumer AI agents. Alex Kantrowitz and Ranjan Roy discuss whether Muse’s early momentum signals a shift away from frontier models toward practical products built around integrations, tool use, and trust. They also examine dopamine sites, which simulate online shopping for the pleasure of browsing rather than receiving products.

What’s your Ubuntu 27.04 codename prediction?

Ubuntu 26.10 ‘Stonking Stingray’ is about to be released – but what will the next release be called? Right now, we don’t know, but care to take a guess? Traditional dictates that the Ubuntu 27.04 title will be made up of an adjective and animal (real or mythical) that both begin with the letter ‘T’. There’s been a tranche of terrific names of late: These tell us one thing: the codename combo is rarely an obvious pairing. On the adjective side, Ubuntu swings from silly (Saucy, Bionic, Disco, Hirsute) to professional (LTS’ have used Hardy, Trusty, Resolute) to “eDuKaShuNal“, teaching […]

Выпуск ynotbit 0.5.0, настольного клиента Bitmessage на C++/Qt

Опубликован выпуск ynotbit 0.5.0 — компактного
настольного клиента для децентрализованной сети обмена сообщениями Bitmessage. Готовые сборки подготовлены для
Linux (AppImage, x86_64), macOS (Apple Silicon) и Windows (x86_64).
Ключи идентичностей хранятся в отдельном защищённом паролем хранилище (Argon2id и
XChaCha20-Poly1305), а переписка — в зашифрованном документе SQLCipher, который
пользователь размещает там, где удобно. Сетевой узел работает отдельным процессом без
доступа к ключам и продолжает собирать объекты сети, пока хранилище заблокировано;
после разблокировки подходящие сообщения расшифровываются и сохраняются в почтовый ящик.
