Here’s How to Check If Windows 11 Is Secretly Gobbling Up Your Disk Space

Users upgrading to Windows 11 have reported a significant decrease in available storage on their C: drive, attributed to the Capability Access Manager process consuming excessive disk space. Microsoft has acknowledged this issue and released an optional update (KB5095093) to improve disk space management for the CapabilityAccessManager.db-wal file, which can grow to several hundred gigabytes instead of the typical few megabytes. Users can check the file size in the directory C:ProgramDataMicrosoftWindowsCapabilityAccessManager, and tools like TreeSize or the command prompt can assist in this process. The CapabilityAccessManager.db-wal file functions as a write-ahead log for application access requests to system components, and its abnormal growth indicates it is not being properly merged back into the main database.

An EVE newbie got an impossibly rare $7,000 ship out of a free loot box, leaving him set for life in the space MMO: ‘Everyone gets this for free, right?’

At the close of 2025, a relatively new player in EVE Online, with six months of experience, acquired a Titan-class Molok ship valued at approximately 700 billion ISK. This player successfully sold the ship after a tense negotiation, allowing him to cover his subscription costs. The Molok, introduced in 2017, is a rare strategic asset with only four destroyed and a kill count of 4,782. During an event by Fenris Creations, only three Molok blueprints were obtained by players, making this player one of the few to acquire one. The player sold the Molok almost instantly at the buyout price of 700 billion ISK and decided to invest in a long stretch of game time through an Omega premium subscription. Despite his newfound wealth, his daily gameplay remained largely unchanged, focusing on mining and manufacturing ships.

Our readers are clear: They want Destiny 3, which is awkward, because Bungie reportedly isn’t making Destiny 3

A recent poll revealed that 74% of respondents want a continuation of the Destiny saga in the form of Destiny 3, while 14% prefer a new intellectual property, 6% wish for Halo 7, 4% want a deeper commitment to Marathon, and 2% hope for a reboot of the RTS series Myth. However, reports indicate that Destiny 3 is not currently in active production due to budget constraints, and a release may not occur until the 2030s. The project known as Gummy Bears has been spun off into its own studio, limiting Bungie's immediate options for new franchises.

Google’s AI Studio enables rapid Android app creation in minutes

Google has introduced enhanced web-based AI tools in its AI Studio platform, allowing users to generate complete native Android applications from natural-language prompts. This process enables individuals without programming skills to create installable APKs in minutes. The Build mode accepts plain-English descriptions to construct comprehensive native Android projects, which can then be customized in Android Studio. The tools support integration with third-party APIs and Web3 SDKs, allowing AI-generated apps to interact with blockchain functionalities. This development offers opportunities for the cryptocurrency sector, enabling decentralized finance protocols or wallet providers to create lightweight companion apps without extensive engineering teams. The integration with the Android ecosystem positions Google to reshape competitive dynamics in mobile app development. However, there are security concerns regarding the AI-generated code, particularly related to vulnerabilities in rapidly generated mobile apps that interact with smart contracts.

The Sims 3 review (2009)

Lauren Morton enjoys The Sims 3, appreciating its unique wishes system, unpredictable nature, and features like Live Mode and Create-A-Style tools, which are not present in The Sims 4. She recalls a memorable gameplay moment where a guest died during her virtual wedding, leading to an adventure in the catacombs and an encounter with zombie bears. Morton humorously misinterpreted a 'Wedding Party' as an engagement celebration rather than the actual wedding, resulting in an unhappy gathering. She reflects on how The Sims 3 compares to its predecessor, The Sims 2, and encourages other players to share their experiences with the game.
Despite Gothic Remake's glow-up, it's still the scrappy eurojank RPG it always was, and that's fine with me

Despite Gothic Remake’s glow-up, it’s still the scrappy eurojank RPG it always was, and that’s fine with me

Gothic Remake revisits the original Gothic game, which established a foundation for future RPGs. Players start as a nameless convict in a penal colony controlled by inmates, facing challenges without weapons or clear direction. The game emphasizes exploration, NPC interaction, and skill development rather than immediate action. The Colony, originally a penal facility, is divided into three factions: the organized Old Camp, the ruthless New Camp, and the eccentric Swamp Camp. Players encounter dangers and must navigate the environment without a minimap, relying on NPC guidance. Combat mechanics reflect the protagonist's initial lack of skill, and the game retains a sense of discovery and immersion characteristic of traditional RPGs.

Is 16GB Enough? Microsoft Says 32GB is the ‘No Worries’ Sweet Spot for Windows Gaming

The benchmark for a gaming PC is now 16 gigabytes of RAM, as suggested by Microsoft, which is classified as the minimum requirement. For future-proofing, 32GB is considered optimal, especially for users who multitask with applications alongside gaming. A recent Microsoft blog post outlines these specifications, noting that 40.97% of gamers use 16GB of RAM, while 36.62% have upgraded to 32GB, and only 8.15% are still on 8GB. Additionally, a 32GB DDR5 memory kit currently costs 0 or more. Microsoft also advises selecting multi-core processors and current-generation GPUs to match the desired frames per second and monitor specifications for an optimal gaming experience.
