Can you stow your torch in Gothic Remake?

In Gothic Remake, players activate torches from the hotbar to illuminate dark environments, but cannot stow them back in inventory. Instead, selecting a weapon causes the torch to be stabbed into the ground, where it remains lit for a time. If the player rests in a bed, the torch will extinguish by the time they awaken. The torch also goes out if it comes into contact with water. Torches are plentiful in necessary areas, allowing players to place them along paths for easy retrieval later. To avoid accidental deployment, players are advised to assign the torch to slot 0 in the hotbar. There is a suggestion for future updates to allow players to extinguish torches on the ground to reclaim them more easily.

Windows platform security for AI agents

AI agents have evolved from simple question-answering systems to autonomous entities that can perform actions across various platforms. This shift raises concerns about control and trust, necessitating a change in security paradigms. Developers are now required to integrate security into the architecture of their platforms to maintain trust in agent deployment. Microsoft has expanded Agent 365 to manage local agents on Windows, introducing policy-based controls to govern agent actions. The Microsoft Execution Containers (MXC) SDK provides a policy-driven execution layer for agents, allowing developers to define constraints and ensuring consistent enforcement at runtime. Windows supports various containment options, including process and session isolation, to mitigate risks associated with agent behavior. Micro-VMs and Linux containers are also being integrated into the containment model. Windows 365 for Agents enables agents to operate in a managed cloud environment, limiting potential compromises. Collaborations with industry leaders aim to align containment strategies with developer needs. The security model is built on a foundation designed to minimize risk, incorporating features like passwordless sign-in and real-time protection through Windows Defender. The focus remains on enabling developers to create secure, governable agents for real-world deployment.

Google is playing with a new look for voice search

Google is refining its voice search functionality in the Google app, introducing a toggle for the "Auto search" feature that allows users to control how their voice queries are processed. This update enables users to disable automatic searches that occur when they pause their speech, allowing them to complete their thoughts without interruption. The new interface includes a pill-shaped toggle above four redesigned buttons and features two animations: a chunky waveform pattern when Auto search is activated and a fluid, side-scrolling waveform when it is disabled. The timeline for the official rollout of these features is uncertain, as the information is based on an APK teardown, which may not reflect all final public releases.
