Windows 11’s Acrylic blur effect—the frosted glass visual that gives apps and menus a translucent, layered appearance—is about to become far more flexible. Since the system’s debut, the effect has only been applied to entire windows like the Start menu or Settings. Now, Microsoft plans to let developers apply Acrylic to specific interface components inside an app, such as individual panels or toolbars. The update was showcased during the latest WinUI Community Call, first spotted by Windows Latest. This new approach will give applications a more dynamic and visually cohesive look, making Windows 11’s Fluent Design feel deeper and more…

A new collaboration between Qualcomm and Memories.ai could redefine how people interact with personal photos and videos by embedding powerful AI-based visual memory directly onto devices. The partnership revolves around Memories.ai’s upcoming Large Visual Memory Models 2.0, a system designed to understand the context and meaning behind images and videos rather than just recognizing objects or faces. Scheduled for 2026, the launch will see both companies offering this technology to manufacturers of smartphones, PCs, and headsets looking to enhance their AI-driven user experiences. The concept is ambitious: instead of merely tagging images like Google Photos, Memories.ai’s approach builds a semantic…

The change allows more games, including Fortnite, to run natively on Windows laptops using Snapdragon X Plus and X Elite processors—no emulation required, as long as players are running version 38.00 or later. Early impressions, as reported by Windows Latest, suggest that Fortnite runs surprisingly well on these Arm-powered machines, with only minor lag appearing during some sessions. Continued optimizations are expected, and Epic Games’ commitment to native Arm support could be a…

Apple has extended the deadline for support of its legacy Home platform, giving users until February 10, 2026 to transition to the updated Home architecture. This marks a short reprieve from the previously announced cutoff in fall 2025, providing extra time for users who haven’t yet migrated. The new Home framework, introduced in late 2022, was designed to enhance reliability and efficiency for HomeKit devices but initially faced criticism for bugs, including unresponsive hubs and devices stuck in “Updating” mode. Apple addressed these issues with a revised rollout in February 2023, and since then the system has largely operated without…

Windows users face a longstanding and actively exploited security threat that Microsoft has yet to address: the CVE-2025-9491 LNK file vulnerability, which has persisted for more than eight years. Security researchers from Arctic Wolf recently highlighted renewed attacks on this flaw, noting that hacker groups targeted diplomats across Belgium, Hungary, Italy, Serbia, and the Netherlands in late 2024. The flaw allows attackers to execute malicious code simply by tricking a user into opening a compromised LNK file, a method that has been widely used in cyber espionage campaigns. In these latest incidents, attackers attempted to deploy Trojan malware granting remote…

Logitech’s latest mechanical keyboard, the Alto Keys K98M, could be the model that changes the company’s reputation among enthusiasts. Known more for its productivity and gaming peripherals than its mechanical offerings, Logitech has often struggled to justify its high prices in this niche. But the K98M appears to deliver genuine enthusiast-grade features at a surprisingly competitive cost. Visually, the keyboard makes a strong impression. Available in gray, white-and-gray, and a stylish lilac variant, the K98M combines elegant tones with a semi-transparent upper housing that reveals the gasket-mounted internals. Gasket mounting, a construction technique borrowed from high-end custom keyboards, uses soft…

Chrome’s autofill just got a major upgrade. Google announced yesterday that its browser can now automatically fill in new types of personal information—including passport numbers, driver’s license details, and vehicle information—alongside its existing support for addresses, passwords, and payment data. The goal is to make form-filling faster and smoother, particularly for users who frequently encounter travel, government, or insurance forms online. To make use of the new capability, users will need to enable “enhanced autofill” in Chrome’s settings. Even with this feature turned on, Google stresses that security remains a top priority. Chrome will always ask for confirmation before it…
