Microsoft Details How It’s Using AI to Improve Windows Security

Microsoft has reaffirmed its commitment to security, focusing on enhancing protection for Windows users. The company is utilizing a multi-model agentic scanning harness (MDASH) that incorporates various AI models to identify Windows vulnerabilities earlier in the development process. This proactive approach allows security experts to detect potential issues before public releases. Microsoft is also investing in technologies that use AI to streamline the development of fixes while maintaining human oversight during code reviews. The company acknowledges the dual nature of AI in security, as it accelerates both the identification of vulnerabilities and the potential for exploitation. Microsoft aims to strengthen its systems to find vulnerabilities earlier and deliver timely security patches to customers.

How to breed villagers in Minecraft explained

To breed villagers in Minecraft, construct a space with three beds, as each villager needs their own bed to breed. Ensure villagers have access to 12 food points by providing food items like bread, carrots, or potatoes, and engaging in trade can also encourage breeding. Monitor the number of beds available, as each villager requires one, and be patient, as breeding may take time and is not guaranteed.

This change is speculated to align the search box's design with the Ask Copilot feature. The update is not yet available for preview.

Valve releases drivers, notes to make Windows work on Steam hardware, but refuses to support it — tells users it doesn’t offer support for ‘Windows on Steam Hardware,’ gaming company provides resources ‘as is’

Valve has launched a resource page for Windows drivers compatible with its hardware, including the Steam Deck LCD, Steam Deck OLED, and Steam Machine, facilitating the installation of Windows 11 on these devices. The drivers cover essential components such as the APU, graphics, SD card reader, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and audio. Users can revert to SteamOS if needed, with recovery instructions provided. The Steam Machine is noted for its high price and lack of subsidies from Valve, which complicates the company's ability to offer discounts. While SteamOS offers a streamlined experience, Valve is working to enhance its compatibility with more hardware. The lack of dual-boot capabilities in SteamOS limits gamers who need specific anti-cheat software, though Valve is exploring this feature without a set release date.
