Facebook Messenger is no longer available as a desktop app

Facebook Messenger's desktop versions for Mac and Windows have officially ceased operations. Users attempting to access the app will be redirected to the Facebook website or the Facebook desktop app, depending on their operating system. Mac users will be directed to the Facebook website, while Windows users will be directed to the Facebook desktop app, where they can continue their conversations with the same features. Messenger users without a Facebook account will be redirected to Messenger.com to log in. Concerns about chat history are addressed, with Meta stating that chat history can be saved if users took the necessary steps to ensure secure storage was enabled before the cutoff.

Gemini’s ChatGPT-style ‘projects’ are taking shape in some unexpected ways

Gemini, an AI tool, is introducing a "Projects" feature in its Android app to enhance user experience by allowing project creation directly on mobile devices. The latest version of the Google app includes a "New Project" button, which is currently visible but non-functional. A code string suggests users may add up to ten files for reference within a project. Additionally, UI enhancements are being considered, such as including the NotebookLM shortcut in the account switcher and improving the visibility of scheduled actions by moving them to the side hamburger menu. These changes are still in development, and their rollout is uncertain.

AI-торрент: децентрализованная сеть, где твои GPU станут валютой для супер-AI

A decentralized P2P network called "AI Torrent" is designed for AI model inference, based on principles such as a BitTorrent economy where nodes exchange computational resources, a Smart Swarm Architecture using specialized models, and Self-Organizing Intelligence that allows popular models to migrate to active nodes. Users without computational resources can interact through a standard API or chat interface, while those with resources can register as nodes and earn utility tokens by performing inference tasks. AI model creators can upload models and receive royalties through smart contracts. The economy operates on utility tokens (AIT), with revenue distribution of 70% to seeders, 20% to model developers, and 10% to a DAO fund. The network aims to be cheaper than centralized alternatives and has mechanisms for liquidity and stability, including trading on DEX platforms and staking. Existing projects in decentralized AI demonstrate the viability of P2P inference, and the "AI Torrent" seeks to integrate their best features while focusing on making inference accessible and affordable. Challenges include latency in P2P systems, which the network aims to address through geo-DHT and edge caching.

Meta Will Close Down Its Messenger Apps on Mac and Windows

Meta is discontinuing its desktop Messenger applications for Windows and Mac users, effective December 15. Users will receive in-app notifications about the closure, followed by a 60-day grace period during which the app will remain functional. After this period, the app will be permanently deactivated, but the mobile version will continue to operate. Users are advised to enable secure storage to preserve their chat history before the shutdown.

Facebook Messenger desktop version for Windows and MacOS will shut down in December 2025

Meta has confirmed that the Messenger desktop applications for Windows and macOS will cease operations on December 15, 2025. Users will be redirected to the Facebook website for messaging after this date. Notifications about the shutdown will be sent within the app starting 60 days prior to the closure, after which the app will be inaccessible. Users are encouraged to uninstall the app and can continue using Messenger via the web version or the Facebook Desktop App for Windows. To safeguard correspondence history, users should activate the “secure storage” feature and set a PIN code. This decision aligns with Meta's strategy to embrace web technologies, transitioning to a Progressive Web App (PWA) version in September 2024. Some users have expressed dissatisfaction with this decision, preferring the desktop application over the browser interface.
