Previously this year, Microsoft eliminated advertisements from Skype. Although its popularity has dwindled compared to past times, Skype remains a vital communication tool for countless individuals, facilitating chats, calls, and video conferences. Now, Microsoft is preparing a fresh set of enhancements for Skype, but none compare to the significance of ad elimination. The latest version of Skype (8.127.76.102) is currently being tested among Insiders, and it addresses stability issues and bug fixes.

For the last couple of days, multiple Microsoft 365 subscribers have reported an issue with the traditional Outlook application, which keeps crashing upon launch. Even trying to open it in Safe Mode results in the same predicament.

To put it simply, my life journey has been far from traditional. I never attended college or university, instead choosing to dive headfirst into the world of technology and innovation. My work, more often than not, took me away from the comforts of a spacious office setup, with its expansive desks and top-tier computer equipment. Instead, I found myself hunkered down in small hotel rooms or unique remote locations, making do with whatever resources were available to me. This unconventional path has taught me resilience, adaptability, and a deep appreciation for the power of resourcefulness. It’s been an incredible ride, full of challenges and learning opportunities that I wouldn’t trade for anything else.

Although my exposure to JRPGs has been rather scant, I’ve long heard stories about the “Mana” series from a former colleague who is well-known among many. When it was announced that Visions of Mana, the first major installment in the Mana franchise in over 18 years, would be available on Xbox, I felt compelled to give it a try. Now, I have the opportunity to play it and save some money as preorders for Visions of Mana are already offering discounts.

In the latest Windows 11 Build (27686), now available for Insiders in the Canary Channel, the Settings app has been updated to allow you to customize your PC’s power settings based on whether it’s plugged in or running on battery power. This update also introduces a new High Dynamic Range (HDR) option and includes numerous bug fixes and enhancements.

Discovering that an established RPG series with a dedicated fanbase incorporates cats and various other furry characters caught me off guard, as I wasn’t previously aware of it. The Cat Quest game series offers charming, compact RPGs that follow the adventures of feline heroines in pursuit of world-changing treasure across multiple chapters. Cat Quest 3 is the newest installment in the franchise and served as my introduction to the series.
