I modded GTA 6 leak-accurate car fuelling into GTA 5

An enthusiast is modding Grand Theft Auto V to resemble Grand Theft Auto VI, promising daily updates on their progress. New features hinted at for GTA VI include law enforcement's interest in character appearance, protagonists dealing with fatigue and nutrition, and a potential vehicle refueling mechanic. The modder has implemented a feature called Fumes – Animated Persistent Fuel, which introduces a realistic fuel system where vehicles have functional fuel tanks that deplete over time. Players must physically refuel their vehicles at gas stations, enhancing immersion. A new fuel meter on the minimap adds strategic elements to gameplay, and the modder shares experiences of testing these mechanics despite encountering errors from other mods.

Adobe just released a Premiere beta for Android, but Googlebook will need much more

A leaked render from Lenovo suggests that Adobe Premiere may be coming to the upcoming Googlebooks. An Early Access version of the Premiere app is currently available for Android, but the experience on a Chromebook is subpar, resembling a mobile app that hasn't been optimized for larger screens. The app opens but has issues such as a stretched user interface and metadata errors during file imports. Adobe's early build is primarily aimed at Android phones, and there are concerns about whether a fully optimized version for Googlebooks will be available at launch. The anticipated price for the first Googlebooks is expected to start at 9+, and for it to compete effectively, a robust, desktop-class version of Premiere is essential.

3 tasks that are still easier on Linux than Windows

Linux users benefit from a streamlined software update process through package managers like APT, DNF, and Pacman, allowing all applications to be updated with a single command. In contrast, Windows requires multiple update mechanisms for the operating system and third-party software, often necessitating manual checks. Most drivers in Linux are built into the kernel, enabling automatic recognition and configuration of new hardware, while Windows typically requires users to download drivers from manufacturers' websites. Linux provides clearer system logs for troubleshooting, making it easier to diagnose issues, whereas Windows error messages can be vague and less informative. Overall, Linux offers advantages in software updates, driver management, and troubleshooting compared to Windows.

‘Force Restart’—Microsoft Changes Windows Update Next Month

Microsoft will implement changes to Windows PC updates next month, requiring mandatory restarts for specific security component fixes in September and October. The September update will necessitate a "force restart," while the October update will follow the regular quarterly routine. These changes primarily affect managed PCs, and IT administrators are advised to inform users. Additionally, users are cautioned about the Windows 11 update KB5120998 due to issues like broken cursor styling and reset wallpaper settings, with some users successfully resolving problems by uninstalling the update. Windows 11 users are also experiencing a DISM error, 0x800f0915, when repairing the system image post-update, although reports of this issue are low.

Install Windows 11 on Steam Deck OLED: 12 Steps [2026]

The Steam Deck OLED has limitations in running certain Windows applications and games, particularly those with kernel-level anti-cheat systems. Valve has provided an official Windows driver bundle for the OLED model since 2024, and by 2026, a community-developed process for dual-booting Windows 11 alongside SteamOS has emerged. Running Windows 11 may be necessary for games that do not perform well on SteamOS, especially competitive titles. The Steam Deck OLED requires specific prerequisites for dual-booting, including a fully charged device, updated SteamOS, sufficient free storage, a Windows 11 license, and a USB flash drive for installation. Users must follow a detailed installation process that includes updating SteamOS, creating a recovery drive, downloading Windows 11, and configuring the system for dual-booting. Common pitfalls include skipping the recovery drive and under-allocating storage for Windows. Battery life on Windows is shorter than on SteamOS, and users should be aware of this when deciding to dual-boot. The dual-boot setup does not void the warranty, and it is possible to revert to a SteamOS-only setup later.

Microsoft rolls out fix for Windows 11 crashes, gaming issues

Microsoft has begun rolling out a permanent solution to a problem causing system crashes and gaming disruptions on Windows 11 devices, specifically related to game launch failures and freezing with "EXCEPTIONACCESSVIOLATION" errors. The issue affects various games, including ARC Raiders, MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls, and The Finals, particularly on Windows 11 versions 24H2 and 25H2, and is linked to peripherals with built-in RGB lighting. The inpoutx64.sys driver has been identified as the cause of these complications. Microsoft is deploying a fix that disables this driver on affected devices, starting on August 26, 2026, and it may take up to 24 hours to reach all impacted devices. This driver block will also be included in the September 2026 Windows security updates. For enterprise-managed devices that do not automatically receive the fix, a temporary workaround involves disabling the inpoutx64 driver via the Windows Registry. Microsoft has stated that disabling this registry key should not lead to unintended behavior.

Windows Search still can’t find half my files, because Microsoft fixed the wrong part

Windows 11's native Search feature has been improved with a new indexing system that automatically indexes frequently accessed folders. The latest build, 26100.9267, allows search results to appear after two keystrokes and is more forgiving of typographical errors. Users can choose between web or store suggestions. However, issues persist, such as files remaining invisible in indexed folders. Users have two indexing options: Classic mode, which covers limited locations, and Enhanced mode, which indexes all partitions but may affect battery life and CPU usage. Many users prefer third-party alternatives like Everything, which indexes files directly from the NTFS Master File Table without requiring mode selection. Despite improvements, the overall search experience in Windows remains unsatisfactory.
