Google Meet Struggles in Russia Amid Push for State-Controlled Max Messaging App

On August 22, Russian officials expressed concerns about potential restrictions on Google Meet, fearing that it could monitor Russian citizens and share sensitive information with Western intelligence. Andrey Svintsov highlighted the need for limitations on tracking applications. Users in Russia reported disruptions with Google Meet, but Roskomnadzor stated that no restrictions had been implemented. The increased use of Google Meet followed a government ban on voice and video calls in apps like Telegram and WhatsApp, while authorities promoted the Kremlin-backed messenger Max, set to be preinstalled on new smartphones from September 1. Max, launched by VKontakte in March 2025, aims to replace foreign messaging apps and is associated with extensive surveillance capabilities. A blacklist of targeted platforms is being developed following President Putin's pledge to restrict foreign digital services. Additionally, pro-Russian hackers executed a cyberattack on a hydropower plant in Poland's Pomeranian Voivodeship, marking the second attack on the facility in recent months.

Fast Startup might actually be slowing your PC down

Fast Startup on Windows enhances boot times by placing the computer in a hibernation-like state, saving the system state to disk for quicker startups, but does not preserve open programs and processes. Disabling Fast Startup is advisable for users with modern SSDs unless they experience noticeable slowdowns. Fast Startup circumvents traditional shutdowns, which are necessary for proper power cycling of components, potentially leading to system issues over time. It can disrupt Windows updates, causing instability and missing features, making it wise to keep it disabled for regular updaters. For dual-boot systems with Windows and Linux, Fast Startup should be disabled to avoid boot issues and potential data corruption. It can also exacerbate wake-from-sleep problems, leading to slower wake times and peripheral malfunctions. Users with modern NVMe SSDs may find that Fast Startup offers minimal advantages and could even result in longer boot times.
