Microsoft Confirms Windows 11 26H2 Update for x86-64 PCs

Microsoft has confirmed the release of the Windows 11 update version 26H2, designed for PCs with x86-64 processors from Intel and AMD. Devices with Qualcomm Snapdragon Elite and NVIDIA RTX Spark processors will receive a separate update. Earlier this year, Windows 11 26H1 was introduced for Windows-on-Arm devices.

The update process is straightforward and will consolidate security and quality updates. Microsoft will provide security updates for Windows 11 versions 24H2, 25H2, and 26H2 for two years. Windows 11 Enterprise LTSC editions will offer stability by locking onto a specific kernel code base for security updates until a future date.

Chaos Cubed drop is now available for Minecraft on Nintendo Switch

The Chaos Cubed game update has launched on the Nintendo Switch, introducing new features such as the sulfur cube, sulfur caves, and various blocks. The sulfur cube is a passive mob found in sulfur caves that can absorb blocks to gain unique effects. Players can leash or scoop them up, or use bouncy wool blocks to launch them. Sulfur caves are home to hostile creatures and contain sulfur and cinnabar blocks, as well as sulfur spikes that are safe for players. On the Overworld surface, sulfur springs and geysers indicate the presence of sulfur caves, with springs emitting toxic gases that cause nausea. Potent sulfur generates bubbles and gas puffs when placed under water and can create geysers when combined with magma blocks. The update also includes a new music disc called Bounce, which can be found in chests within mineshafts that connect to the sulfur caves.
