Meowdoku is sudoku but with cats, and it is highly addictive, but it has one BIG problem

The author enjoys casual Android games that involve sorting and disassembling elements, particularly the game Meowdoku, which is a cat-themed puzzle game inspired by Sudoku. In Meowdoku, players must place ten different cats in a grid while following specific rules: each row and column can only contain one cat, and no two cats of the same color can be adjacent. Incorrect placements result in strikes, and three strikes require a level restart. The game includes hints and daily challenges, but the author finds the frequent ads after nearly every level frustrating, especially since there is no option for an ad-free experience. There is a demand among players for a premium, ad-free version, as discussed on various social media platforms. Despite the ads, the author continues to play Meowdoku and recommends it to others.

Microsoft’s research boss reveals why Windows 11 features don’t show up, and his fix half works

Windows 11 has introduced new features such as a resizable Start menu, a movable taskbar, and the option to remove Bing from Windows Search. Users report not seeing significant changes after updates, leading to frustration. Marcus Ash, the design and research lead for Windows & Devices, acknowledged this issue, explaining that features may not appear immediately due to gradual rollouts. Users can enable the “Get the latest updates as soon as they’re available” option, but this does not guarantee instant access to new features. The September 2026 update includes a movable taskbar, a smaller taskbar option, and the ability to disable Bing results in Windows Search, though immediate visibility of these changes is not assured. Microsoft is also testing new features with Windows Insiders, including a customization tool for the context menu, enhanced File Explorer performance, a reduction in memory footprint for devices with 8GB RAM and above, a new WinUI-based Run dialog, a revamped Properties dialog, a redesigned pop-up for connected drives, the ability to remap the Copilot key, and improvements to Bluetooth connections and headset calls.
