Forget Sony’s barely existent PS5 exclusives, this developer wants to turn the console into a Windows gaming machine

A developer named Mihawk has successfully run Windows 11 on the PS5 through a project called Mihawk OS, allowing both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows games to operate on a jailbroken PS5. Mihawk has also integrated RetroArch, enabling various emulators to function on the console. Early reports indicate that the game HADES has been seen running in this Windows environment. This development may allow gamers to play titles like Gears of War: E-Day natively on the PS5. However, jailbreaking the console can limit access to PlayStation servers and pose risks to user accounts.

PixelBoard can be installed via three methods: downloading directly from GitHub, sideloading via USB, or patching the stock Gboard APK. Users can enable PixelBoard in their device settings and access Rambler by selecting it from the dictation options.

Android Automotive vs. Google Built-in: How Google’s Two Car Platforms Actually Differ

- Google Built-in is a package of Google apps that carmakers license and add on top of their Android Automotive systems, providing access to Google Maps, the Google Play Store, and Gemini. - Gemini is officially taking over from Google Assistant as the voice assistant across 16 car brands, offering features such as real-time traffic updates, EV-specific routing, smart navigation, and the ability to check email, build playlists, and order dinner. - Not every automaker wants to use Google's assistant, with some like Ford and Rivian investing in building their own AI assistants. - Some drivers are skeptical of native systems like Google Built-in, believing that the motive behind them is new revenue rather than a better driving experience.

Which older Samsung Galaxy devices still get software updates in 2026?

Samsung links software support to the price of the device, with flagships getting up to seven years of updates, midrange phones getting five to six years, and budget models getting up to four years. The A-series models are affected the most by this difference. Samsung does not announce when support ends, so users must check their model's support status. Once security patches end, the phone is vulnerable to hackers and apps may stop working. It is important to check a phone's support date before purchasing.
