How to restart your Windows 11 PC when nothing else works

zdnet.com Cesar Cadenas 2025-07-20 22:56:00

yusnizam/Getty Images Usually, whenever a new feature comes out for Windows, Microsoft advertises it widely in a blog post to let everyone know. Or if they don't, people discover the feature soon after an update. However, a helpful feature sometimes slips through the cracks, only to be unearthed years later. Also: Hate Windows 11?

Tell HN: Notion Desktop is monitoring your audio and network

If you have the Notion Desktop App installed, you may have started to notice a "In a meeting? Start AI Meeting Notes" notification pop up exactly when you are joining a virtual meeting (e.g. joining a Google Meet on Firefox). At first, I assumed it must have been using my Google Workspace account to snoop on my calendar. But then I started to notice it would notify exactly when I joined even if I was late and the meeting had previously started. This was the response from Notion Support after t

Hate Windows 11? Here's how you can make it work more like Windows 10

zdnet.com Ed Bott 2025-07-23 14:12:00

Pau Barrena/Bloomberg via Getty Images I wrote the original version of this post when Windows 11 was still less than a year old, after reading a ton of feedback from early adopters. I didn't have to spend a lot of time in support forums and other community sites to hear a steady stream of criticism from people who were annoyed by the changes Microsoft made in the Windows 10 user interface they had grown comfortable with. Enough time has passed since the original Windows 11 release that some of

Scale AI lays off 14% of staff, largely in data-labeling business

techcrunch.com Maxwell Zeff 2025-07-24 07:26:47

In Brief Data-labeling startup Scale AI is laying off 200 employees, roughly 14% of its staff, and cutting ties with 500 of its global contractors, Bloomberg reported on Wednesday. The cuts come just a month after Meta hired Scale AI’s CEO in a $14.3 billion deal. In a memo obtained by Bloomberg, interim CEO Jason Droege told staff that Scale AI had too quickly scaled its core data-labeling business — in which the startup supplied AI labs with labeled, structured data to train AI models.

European VC breaks taboo by investing in pure defense tech from Ukraine’s war zones

techcrunch.com Anna Heim 2025-08-06 03:00:00

Defense tech has gone from a no-go zone for VCs to a hot investment sector. However, dual use — meaning that the technology must also have civilian applications — is still a requirement for most of them, including the NATO Innovation Fund. Estonian VC firm Darkstar breaks from this trend by investing in purely military applications, with the goal of helping rearm Europe using combat-proven solutions emerging from Ukraine. “This is very critical, not only today but for the next 10 years,” said i
