Write. Review. Commit. Repeat. Behind the scenes of Postgres Professional docs

The documentation for Postgres Pro products is created by a team of technical writers, which has doubled in size over the past year. The source documentation is developed in English and then translated into Russian. The writers use tools such as DocBook XML, Markdown, Weblate, Pandoc, and Figma. The documentation workflow includes task setting, draft preparation, SME review, peer review, commit and translation, and translation review. The team also translates vanilla PostgreSQL documentation and prepares patches for inaccuracies. An automated script retrieves and converts original files for translation. Feedback is gathered from internal chat, a website form, and personal messages, with all feedback acknowledged for future releases.

Almost 13 years since reveal, TimeSplitters Rewind is finally out: ‘Sorry it took so long. We’ve only been making the largest free content video game ever’

TimeSplitters Rewind has been released after 13 years of development. It is a fan-driven project that serves as a remake and compilation of the original TimeSplitters trilogy, described as a "greatest hits collection" of maps, modes, leagues, challenges, and story content. The project initially started with Crytek's approval for modders to use CryEngine but faced challenges, including a shift to Unreal Engine 4 that ultimately failed due to policy violations. In 2020, the team expanded significantly after a call for assistance from art lead Cameron Williams. The project aims to enhance the original games using CryEngine to appeal to both long-time fans and a new audience.

Sure, Why Not: Windows 11 AI Agents Might Install Malware On Your PC

Microsoft's recent update highlights the risks associated with its new "Experimental Agentic Features" in AI, which are designed to interact with user applications and files. These AI agents can perform complex tasks but may also produce unexpected outputs and introduce security risks, such as cross-prompt injection (XPIA), leading to potential data exfiltration or malware installation. While Microsoft emphasizes the need for human oversight in AI-generated decisions, concerns about data integrity and system safety persist. The term "hallucinations" is used to describe instances of erroneous outputs from AI, suggesting a broader issue within generative AI technology. Currently, Windows 11’s agentic workspace feature is disabled by default, but the long-term status of this safeguard is uncertain as Microsoft integrates AI further into its products.

Windows 11 Introduces Point-in-Time Restore & More for Faster, Safer PC Recovery

Microsoft is enhancing the recovery capabilities of Windows 11 with a suite of tools aimed at simplifying device restoration for IT administrators. The Point-in-Time Restore feature allows administrators to revert a device to a previous state, currently available in preview mode in Windows Insider builds. The Quick Machine Recovery (QMR) system, refined since its August launch, helps restore functionality to multiple devices experiencing boot failures and will soon include direct networking support and Autopatch QMR management for automatic update handling. The Intune remote recovery feature provides insights into when a managed PC enters recovery mode, allowing for remote script deployment and fixes, and has been expanded to include Windows Server virtual machines via the Azure Portal. The Cloud Rebuild function enables administrators to rebuild devices that cannot be repaired conventionally by downloading fresh installation media and restoring settings and data using OneDrive and Windows Backup for Organizations, with Autopilot applying necessary enrollment and policies.

New Windows 11 AI agents can work in the background but create new security risks

Microsoft has introduced "experimental agentic features" in the latest Windows 11 build for Windows Insider Program testers, which includes a feature called Copilot Actions. These agentic features are designed to autonomously perform tasks such as organizing files, scheduling meetings, and sending emails, acting as an "active digital collaborator" to enhance user productivity. The features are currently optional, off by default, and available only in early test builds. To address potential risks, Microsoft has implemented a strategy where AI agents operate under separate user accounts, ensuring they cannot make significant system changes without user approval. Agents maintain activity logs for accountability, and users can supervise their operations.

The sequel to one of my favorite 3D platformers always had a janky PC port, but a huge fanmade patch just dropped in hopes to fix it

American McGee's Alice has a sequel called Madness Returns, which faced issues on PC since its 2011 release due to a problematic port. A modder named Wemino has created a custom patch called MadnessPatch to enhance the gaming experience. Key improvements of the patch include upgraded textures, correctly scaling subtitles for resolutions above 720p, optimized camera for ultrawide resolutions, stability fixes for crashes and broken physics at high framerates, and support for windowed mode. The mod has received positive feedback from fans and approval from American McGee. Despite McGee's attempts to persuade EA to support a third installment, he has abandoned the idea due to the company's lack of interest. Madness Returns is available on Steam for ten dollars, while the original Alice game is not currently available on digital storefronts.
