In my tech-savvy perspective, for many parts of the globe, Christmas and the festive season often bring snowy landscapes. However, in other areas, it’s the heart of summer, making this time of year quite warm. But in a fantastical scenario painted by the Windows 11 weather widget, by the end of 2024, we might expect roads melting and our familiar world ablaze. An unusual glitch seems to have affected Microsoft’s weather graphics, causing temperatures to soar as high as an incredible 30,000 degrees Fahrenheit!

While I’ve always said that The Haunting is my favorite Call of Duty event, I can’t deny that CODmas is really high up there, as well. The Call of Duty team goes out of its way to bring just the right amount of festive cheer and gory mayhem together. It’s looking like this year is going to be a good one for us CODmas fans. The events will be stacking up during Season 1 Reloaded, and there are plenty of other new additions and gameplay changes to cover, so let’s get right to it.

On Windows 11, the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) has become one of my go-to tools, even though I’m not a software developer by trade. Instead, I’m a tech enthusiast with a soft spot for Linux.

The executive recently posted a cryptic comment on social media implying “there’s no barrier” possibly referring to suggestions that scaling laws have started limiting AI progress.

As a researcher, I find myself reflecting on the two-year milestone of OpenAI’s ChatGPT AI-driven chatbot. Initially, it was a basic tool capable of text and image generation. However, it has since transformed into a complex platform, boasting features such as a built-in search engine. This development could pose a challenge to established players like Google and Microsoft’s Bing in the realm of search.
