After years of forgetting Windows shortcuts, I finally found a method that makes them stick

On Windows 11, keyboard shortcuts enhance productivity, but many users are only aware of a few common ones like "Windows key + E" for File Explorer and "Ctrl + C" and "Ctrl + V" for copying and pasting. To help users discover more shortcuts, the Microsoft team behind PowerToys has released a revamped Shortcut Guide in version 0.100. This guide can be accessed through the GitHub page or the Microsoft Store and activated via PowerToys settings. Users can customize the guide's color theme, position, and exclude specific applications. The guide can be opened using the "Windows key + Shift + /" shortcut and provides organized shortcuts for Windows 11 and PowerToys. It also includes context-aware functionality, showing relevant shortcuts based on the active application. The development team has provided guidelines for developers to integrate their apps into the Shortcut Guide.

Windows NT on the GameCube is Basically a Homebrew Project That Brings the Classic OS to Nintendo Hardware

GameCube enthusiasts are utilizing homebrew projects to enhance the console's capabilities, including region-free play and disc backups. A new initiative allows a full PowerPC build of Windows NT to run on the GameCube, leveraging its Gekko CPU's compatibility with early PowerPC-based PCs. The entii-for-workcubes project, led by Wack0, provides components for running Windows NT 3.51 or 4.0 on GameCube and Wii systems, featuring an ARC firmware bootloader for loading homebrew software. Users need to prepare an SD card with specific files and a Windows NT ISO to initiate the process. After installation, basic productivity tools are accessible, but limitations include only 24MB of RAM, slower access speeds, lack of sound support, and potential reboot stalls.

Google tells database devs to lean hard on AI for PostgreSQL work

Google is encouraging developers to use AI coding tools for open source projects like PostgreSQL, highlighting the productivity improvements seen internally. Sailesh Krishnamurthy, Vice President of Databases at Google Cloud, emphasized that developers remain accountable for their contributions, regardless of AI usage. The suitability of AI tools for open source projects is due to the accessibility of the codebase, which aids in training generative models. PostgreSQL is noted for its extensibility, allowing for rapid experimentation and innovation. A recent Stack Overflow survey identified PostgreSQL as the most favored database among developers in 2023, attributed to increased investments from major cloud providers. Microsoft has made significant contributions to PostgreSQL, including the development of pg_documentdb_core and pg_documentdb_api, and has introduced a distributed PostgreSQL database service called HorizonDB. Research from Gartner shows that only Microsoft has grown its market share among leading database vendors over the past 15 years, while Google and other cloud providers are shifting momentum towards open source solutions like PostgreSQL.
