Once again, Google threatens the 3 billion (!) Gmail users with Gemini (AI) features. This time, the change is dramatic: the inbox will be “smart”, which would be tempting if AI models were capable of summarizing correctly (they are not) and were not prone to mistakes (“hallucination” is an euphemism for mistakes)....
Ed Hardy found some very interesting data in StatCounter's figures: […] Roughly four months after launching in mid-September, only about 15% of iPhone users have some version of the new operating system installed. That’s according to data for January 2026 from StatCounter. Instead, most users hold onto previous...
Kevin TerwilligerDell head of product It is surprising that the first manufacturer to tell the truth about so-called “AI PCs” is Dell, Microsoft's early partner in the Copilot+ laptops initiative.

Or when the richest person in the world proved that money has no relation to intelligence and threw the “Twitter” brand in the trash? Marketing geniuses! Maybe it's late...
Two services from PC do Manual, our FOSS apps server, have gotten some cool new features in recent weeks. These versions are already active on our server. BentoPDF, a Swiss Army knife for file actions *.pdf, has received its "biggest update" yet. The flagship feature of version 1.15.1 is support for Office files....
Zac Bowden wrote a long article stating that Windows fans (the author's definition) have been sold a “disastrous 2025 for Windows 11.” I haven't used Windows in many years and have barely touched version 11, so I read it with extra attention. Anyway, I'm sure you can guess the most obvious problem with Windows 11 in...
