How to edit text files directly from Command Prompt and PowerShell on Windows 11 — using Microsoft Edit just like Linux’s Nano

Windows 11 includes the Microsoft Edit command-line tool for editing text files directly within Command Prompt or PowerShell. The tool is under 250KB in size. To install Microsoft Edit, users can open Command Prompt as an administrator and run the command: winget install --id Microsoft.Edit. Alternatively, it can be downloaded from GitHub, but manual configuration is required. To use Microsoft Edit, users can launch it by typing PLACEHOLDERb167be8248c505bb in Command Prompt or PLACEHOLDER4905f66b5f26fc6f for administrator access. Existing text files can be edited using the command edit filename.txt, and new files can be created with the same command. Basic editing options include undo, redo, cut, copy, paste, and find and replace. Files can be saved with "Ctrl + S" and exited with "Ctrl + Q". The tool is designed for straightforward text editing without the need to switch applications.

You’re “dead wrong” if you think AI can make a good game, says ex Gears of War director, but he’s still bopping to Soviet post-punk Britney

Larian Studios confirmed its use of AI to "explore references," while Expedition 33's Sandfall faces allegations regarding its AI applications. Black Ops 7 was criticized for using generative AI art assets, and Arc Raiders utilized AI to generate additional voice lines. Adrian Chmielarz, founder of The Astronauts, expressed skepticism about AI's ability to create compelling games, stating that quality games cannot be made solely through AI. He acknowledged the impressive capabilities of AI but emphasized the need for human creativity in game development. Chmielarz mentioned Revolution Software's use of AI to upscale imagery for Broken Sword, which he considers a fair application of the technology. He maintains a strict policy against AI-generated content in his projects, emphasizing the importance of human connection in gaming. Chmielarz noted that AI might be more accepted as a tool rather than a creative force and speculated that the gaming landscape will shift dramatically by 2026 with major titles on the horizon.

High demand leads Google to cap Gemini 3 Pro and Nano Banana Pro usage

Google has reduced access limits for its Gemini 3 Pro and Nano Banana Pro tools due to high demand. Gemini 3 Pro now allows only "basic access" with fluctuating limits, down from five prompts daily, while Nano Banana Pro has decreased free image creations from three to two per day. These changes were not formally announced and were first noted on an updated support page. Free users are switched to Google's Fast model after reaching their daily cap, which can disrupt their tasks. Additionally, NotebookLM is facing capacity challenges, leading to temporary unavailability of advanced features for free users and new limitations for Pro subscribers. Users have limited visibility on their remaining prompts, causing further frustration.

Google tipped to bring an annotation feature to Gemini’s images

Google is developing an annotation feature for its Gemini platform that will allow users to write or draw on generated images before downloading them. This feature is expected to enable users to annotate images with text and drawings, providing a personalized touch. Additionally, there may be a "resubmission" option that allows users to make specific adjustments to the AI's output without rephrasing their requests. Earlier this year, Google integrated native image editing capabilities into Gemini, enabling users to modify AI-generated images and their own photographs. The anticipated annotation feature is designed to enhance user interaction with AI outputs. Google also recently unveiled the Nano Banana Pro model, which improves accuracy and content richness in image generation, potentially supporting the upcoming annotation capabilities.

Insane Gemini 3 Pro demand forces Google to cap access

Google has changed the access parameters for its Gemini 3 Pro and Nano Banana Pro image generation tools. Users of Gemini 3 Pro can now submit a variable number of prompts daily instead of the previous limit of five, depending on server demand. The Nano Banana Pro has reduced its daily free image generation from three to two. These changes were not officially announced but were noted on an updated support page. Free users will revert to Google’s Fast model upon reaching the new limits. Additionally, NotebookLM is facing capacity challenges, leading to temporary restrictions on advanced tools like Infographics and Slide Decks for both free and Pro subscribers. The new limits may significantly affect users who rely on Gemini 3 Pro for professional tasks.
