Google is putting more of Gemini’s best features right at your fingerprints

Google has updated its Gemini overlay, introducing an expanded Plus (+) menu that includes new tools such as video generation, music creation, Canvas, and Guided Learning. The redesigned layout allows users to perform common actions directly from the overlay, enhancing accessibility and usability. The Plus (+) button now serves as a more robust entry point, although the repositioning of the feature carousel may slightly hinder one-handed usability on larger devices. Familiar shortcuts like Photos, Camera, Files, and Drive remain, ensuring continuity for users. The updated overlay integrates more deeply into the Android ecosystem, reducing the need to launch the main app and aiming to make Gemini a more integral part of users' daily tasks.

Telegram’s ad business: How the messaging app makes money

Telegram has established an advertising model that focuses on monetizing public channels, selling ads based on channel topics rather than user identity. Revenue generated from ads is split evenly between Telegram and the channel owner, with no data-mining or behavioral targeting involved. The primary ad format is Sponsored Messages, which appear in public channels with at least 1,000 subscribers and consist of a text block and optional call-to-action button. Advertisers can purchase these ads through a self-serve portal without demographic targeting, ensuring no personal data is used for placements. Public channels are treated as independent units, with 50% of ad revenue going to channel owners, paid in Toncoin. Telegram's ad system has become more accessible by lowering minimum spend requirements. In addition to Sponsored Messages, Telegram is developing Mini Apps funded by its in-app currency, Stars. Regulatory scrutiny has increased, with various countries imposing bans or restrictions on Telegram for reasons related to content moderation and compliance, such as a temporary ban in India in June 2026 due to exam fraud investigations.

Microsoft fixes Windows Server 2016 security update failures

Microsoft resolved an installation issue affecting the June 2026 security updates (KB5094122) on Windows Server 2016 systems that had not previously installed the KB5087537 update, which was a prerequisite. Users had encountered 0x80070002 or FILENOTFOUND errors. Microsoft acknowledged the problem and confirmed that affected devices should no longer experience installation failures for the June 2026 update. Additionally, Microsoft fixed a similar issue with the May 2026 Windows 11 security update (KB5089549) that resulted in 0x800f0922 errors due to insufficient space on the EFI System Partition. They also warned users about potential installation issues with error codes 0x80073712 or 0x800f0993 on devices upgraded to Windows 11 24H2 or 25H2. Furthermore, Microsoft addressed a boot issue for Windows Server 2025 devices after the April 2026 update and a bug affecting installation failures for updates since May 2025 using the Windows Update Standalone Installer (WUSA). Lastly, they are investigating a separate issue preventing third-party applications from launching essential Office programs after the June 2026 updates.

9 Best Antivirus Software On G2: My Top Picks

Antivirus software can become overwhelming for organizations due to alert fatigue shortly after deployment. Analysts often struggle to prioritize notifications, leading to the mismanagement of legitimate tools and unclear incident timelines. A review of nine antivirus solutions based on G2's Winter 2026 Grid® Report identified the following top performers: 1. ESET PROTECT: Best for machine learning-driven endpoint protection; offers enterprise-grade security with a free trial available. 2. Sophos Endpoint: Best for ransomware prevention; provides centralized policy control with a free trial available. 3. ThreatDown: Cost-effective EDR with MDR flexibility; combines antivirus and endpoint detection with a free trial available. 4. CrowdStrike Falcon: Best for large-scale enterprise threat prevention; cloud-native platform with subscription-based pricing and a free trial available. 5. Check Point Harmony Endpoint: Best for unified endpoint and zero-trust protection; integrates malware prevention and phishing defense with a free trial available. 6. Microsoft Defender for Endpoint: Best for Microsoft-native environments; deeply integrated with Microsoft 365, licensed through enterprise agreements. 7. Kaspersky AntiVirus: Best for traditional malware protection; provides real-time protection against various threats. 8. SentinelOne: Best for autonomous AI-driven endpoint response; features automated remediation and ransomware rollback with a free trial available. 9. FortiClient: Best for Fortinet-centric environments; offers VPN access and security policy enforcement with a free basic client available. The analysis highlighted that effective antivirus solutions prioritize behavioral analysis over traditional signature-based detection, minimize false positives, and maintain low system impact during operation. Key factors for evaluating antivirus software include threat detection accuracy, centralized visibility, response capabilities, and deployment stability.
