X finally ships its rebuilt Android app

X has launched a revamped version of its Android app, a project that began nearly a year ago in response to user feedback about bugs and performance issues. The initiative was first mentioned in August 2025 when Nikita Bier, the Head of Product, sought to create the "Android Dream Team." On July 20, Bier announced the completion of the rebuild, describing it as one of the largest engineering efforts in the company's history. The new app is faster, smoother, and more reliable, with a modernized foundation that will facilitate quicker feature rollouts in the future. Although the update does not introduce new user-facing features, it focuses on performance enhancements, including improvements to scrolling, loading, and notifications. Future updates are promised to include additional functionalities, such as better support for hosting Spaces and improved performance on older devices.

Windows 11 Version 26H2 Ships as an Enablement Package With No New Features Over 25H2

Microsoft is set to release Windows 11 version 26H2, an enablement package based on version 25H2, without introducing new features at launch. The update will require only a single restart for devices on versions 25H2 or 24H2, while users on older versions, such as 23H2 or Windows 10, will need a full feature update. Both versions share identical features and are built on the same platform, with version 26H2 using build numbers in the 26300 series. The update process will vary depending on the current version, and version 26H2 will not change hardware requirements. Microsoft plans a gradual rollout of the update, initially as an optional install. Version 26H2 aims to extend support, adding approximately a year to the support timeline, with version 25H2 support continuing until October 2027. Users should verify their current version and back up important files before upgrading.

How to get Ancient Bone in Palworld

The Ancient Bone in Palworld can be found in the No.3 Wildlife Sanctuary, located northeast of the Dessicated Desert, identifiable by its blue dome shield. To access it, players should fast travel to the Deep Sand Dunes in the northern desert and prepare for temperature changes. Caution is advised due to patrolling craft with red spotlights. The resource node is a ribcage, which can be mined using any mining tool, though a quicker tool is recommended due to limited time while avoiding patrols and hostile creatures.

Valve Ships Official Windows Drivers For The Steam Machine, But Installing It Wipes SteamOS Entirely

Valve has released official Windows drivers for the Steam Machine, allowing users to install Windows while ensuring compatibility with essential hardware components like the AMD Radeon graphics card, WiFi, Bluetooth, and the SD card reader. However, Valve does not recommend transitioning to Windows OS on the Steam Machine at this time. Installing Windows requires wiping the Steam hardware, as dual-booting with SteamOS is not currently available. Valve plans to update its SteamOS installer with a dual-boot wizard in the future, enabling users to run both operating systems simultaneously. SteamOS is promoted as the preferred operating system, offering a console-like gaming experience and optimized user interface.

The DQI, discussed at the Windows Hardware Engineering Conference (WinHEC) in May 2026, involves collaboration with major tech companies like Intel, AMD, and Qualcomm to improve driver reliability. Microsoft has mandated OEMs to follow strict security policies and adopt Microsoft-authored class drivers to reduce kernel interference and enhance performance and security.
