Microsoft to Make Windows Agentic for New Web Experience

Microsoft is transforming Windows into an agentic AI platform, a significant evolution in its operating system history. At the Microsoft Build 2025 event, CEO Satya Nadella discussed the need to update legacy internet systems for the rise of AI agents, likening this phase of generative AI to past technological revolutions. Microsoft is developing an ‘agentic web’ to allow intelligent agents to interact with data and users. To support this, the Model Context Protocol (MCP), developed by Anthropic, will be embedded in Windows, enabling AI agents like GitHub Copilot to perform tasks beyond code generation, such as installing software and modifying system settings with user consent. Microsoft introduced Foundry Local, a tool that allows AI features to run offline on PCs, enhancing response times and privacy. The company also launched Copilot Tuning, enabling enterprises to customize AI agents using their own data and workflows. Additionally, Microsoft announced NLWeb, an open standard to convert any website into an agentic platform, facilitating AI agents' understanding and interaction with web content. Microsoft is collaborating with companies like Tripadvisor to implement NLWeb for autonomous travel arrangements.

How to set up an enchanting table and make enchantments in Minecraft | Esports News

Enchanting in Minecraft allows players to enhance tools and weapons with unique abilities, crucial for survival. To create an enchanting table, players need 4 obsidian blocks, 2 diamonds, and 1 book, arranged with the book in the top-middle slot, diamonds in the left and right slots of the second row, and obsidian blocks in the bottom row. To achieve 30 levels of enchantment, players must place 15 bookshelves one block away from the enchanting table in a square or rectangular formation. Each bookshelf requires 3 books and 6 wooden planks. Books are crafted from paper and leather, with paper made from sugarcane and leather obtained from cows. To enchant items, players need Lapis Lazuli and experience levels. They interact with the enchanting table, placing the item to be enchanted in the left slot and Lapis Lazuli in the right slot, then selecting one of three enchantment options. The number of surrounding bookshelves affects the quality of enchantments, and players can modify or combine enchantments using an anvil or grindstone.
