The Windows 98 Toaster is Here

YouTuber Throaty Mumbo successfully ran Windows 98 on a smart toaster by disassembling the Revolution Cooking High-Speed Smart Toaster and using a Raspberry Pi 5 to emulate a late-1990s Pentium II PC. He created a custom program called “toast.exe” to facilitate communication between the Windows 98 interface and the toaster's hardware. The project resulted in a functional system that allows users to operate the toaster through a retro Windows 98 environment, complete with a 7-inch HDMI monitor and a 3D-printed shell designed to resemble a classic PC.

Gearbox finally wakes up with the first big Borderlands 4 update of the year and a roadmap, yet I’m still worried for its future

Gearbox announced a significant update for Borderlands 4 set for 2026, which includes enhanced loot drops in Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode, a rework of Harlowe's Zero-Point action skill, and the addition of a photo mode. The update integrates the Inertia augment into Harlowe's skill, boosts slam damage and status effects, and generates mini projectiles with successful attacks. Boss-related loot drops will increase with UVHM tiers, and a new setting to disable mouse smoothing has been added. A free update will introduce ultra-rare Pearlescent gear, and the first major story DLC, "Mad Ellie and the Vault of the Damned," is anticipated. Future content will include a second raid boss, a takedown, and three additional Bounty Packs. Gearbox aims to improve performance and stability while addressing character viability. Concerns remain about the game's future and the effectiveness of limited-time events.

Leaked Android desktop UI looks like a Windows rival

Google has unveiled a desktop-class version of Android, potentially named Aluminium OS, through a developer video showcasing a windowed interface designed for PCs with multitasking features. This new operating system could challenge Microsoft’s Windows 11, particularly in low-end laptop and cloud-centric segments. The video features an HP Elite Dragonfly 13.5 Chromebook running an internal build of Aluminium OS, which appears to be optimized for larger screens and retains familiar Android indicators. Lenovo has noted potential challenges for Android PCs, including limited desktop features and app compatibility issues. Google may integrate its Gemini technology into Aluminium OS, which features a taskbar with a centrally located Start button and redesigned mouse cursor. The operating system supports multitasking, allowing multiple Google Chrome windows in split-screen mode, and includes an Extensions button. Qualcomm is set to launch next-generation Android PCs later this year.
