Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 translator says he was ‘fired from Warhorse Studios and replaced with AI’

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 won PC Gamer's Game of the Year award and is currently involved in a controversy regarding the use of artificial intelligence in its development. Game director Daniel Vávra supported DLSS 5 technology on social media. A user named ThousandDemons claimed to have been a translator for KCD2 and stated he was replaced by AI. Investigations suggest ThousandDemons is Max Hejtmánek, a developer credited as "English Editor" on KCD2, who recently left Warhorse Studios. He detailed his contributions to the game and expressed opposition to AI translations, feeling betrayed by management after being informed his role would become "obsolete." He does not seek his job back but wants to share his experience. He also urged fans not to harass Warhorse staff.

macOS 26.4 adds a neat charging feature that Windows laptops have had for years

Apple's recent macOS update includes enhancements focused on battery health and charging efficiency for the MacBook lineup. A notable feature is the Charge Limit option, which allows users to set charging levels between 80% and 100% to extend battery longevity. Additionally, macOS 26.4 introduces a "Slow Charger" indicator that alerts users when connected to a power adapter that does not provide adequate wattage. This warning appears in the battery status menu and settings, helping users identify slow charging issues caused by low-wattage adapters, non-certified cables, or USB-C hubs that restrict power delivery. If users see the "Slow Charger" warning, Apple recommends switching to a charger and cable that meet the minimum wattage specifications for their Mac model, which can be verified on Apple's official website.

This app made me hate today’s giant Android smartphones a little less

Smartphones are becoming larger and more visually appealing, but this trend can hinder one-handed usability. Quick Cursor is an app available on the Google Play Store that introduces a floating cursor to enhance one-handed operation. Users can activate the cursor by swiping inward from the lower half of the screen, allowing for easier interaction with UI elements located higher up. The app overlays a cursor that can be controlled with tap and swipe actions, and it requires access to Android's accessibility service for setup. Quick Cursor operates on a freemium model, offering basic functionality for free, with additional features available through a subscription or one-time purchase. It provides a more fluid experience compared to Android's built-in one-handed mode, making it easier to navigate larger smartphones like the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra and Google Pixel 10 Pro XL.

Windows 11’s push for mandatory Microsoft accounts is hitting a nerve with users who say the change complicates setup, privacy, and basic PC ownership

Microsoft is addressing performance, reliability, and user experience issues in Windows 11, following criticism over features like the intrusive Copilot, advertisements, inconsistent updates, and sluggishness. The recent Windows 11 version 22H2 update requires Home and Pro users to sign in with a Microsoft account, which has faced backlash. Scott Hanselman, Microsoft’s Vice President, hinted at the possibility of removing this requirement. A poll conducted by Windows Central revealed that 55% of respondents prefer a local account option, 35% want both account options available, while only 7% would continue using a Microsoft account if a local option were offered, and 3% were indifferent to the requirement.

I tried Android Auto’s new kids’ games, and yes, they’re a terrible idea

- 75% of respondents would not allow their child to play games on Android Auto - Android Auto's latency does not make for a satisfying gaming experience - The dashboard screen is designed for front passengers, not for kids in the rear seat - Normalizing gaming on Android Auto within the car could negatively affect children when they eventually learn how to drive - The priority of adding kids' games to Android Auto is questioned, considering other features that could have been added first

The Windows 11 UI is truly awful; sliders that should be there have disappeared, leaving only ‘0’ and ‘3’ as selectable options, and the item names are incomprehensible.

A glitch in the keyboard settings screen of Windows 11 Pro version 25H2, build 26200.8039, has been reported following the March 2026 monthly update. The issue involves the 'Wait time before keyboard characters appear' setting, which displays a lengthy text prompt 'Increase wait time' instead of the expected slider, making the slider nearly invisible. Users can only adjust the value to '0' or '3' using the mouse, while the keyboard allows for four levels: '0', '1', '2', and '3'. A previous build, 26200.7623, had the positions of 'Short' and 'Longer waiting times' reversed. Users can report this issue through the Feedback Hub by pressing 'Windows key' and 'F', which captures a screenshot and allows them to summarize their feedback. Submissions can be tracked by signing in with a Microsoft account, and feedback is archived in 'C:ProgramDataMicrosoftDiagnosisFeedbackArchive'.
