How to restart your Windows 11 PC when nothing else works

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?

If You Thought Your Life Was a Mess, Spare a Thought for Boeing's Starliner

futurism.com Unknown 2026-01-15 10:28:43

Even after pouring $2 billion into its much-maligned Starliner spacecraft, NASA and Boeing remain committed to getting back off the ground. As Ars Technica reports, the head of NASA's commercial crew program, Steve Stich, revealed last week that Boeing and its propulsion supplier, Aerojet Rocketdyne, are making considerable changes to the astronaut shuttle following a disastrous first crewed mission to the International Space Station last year.

Daisy Ridley’s Husband Cast in Adaptation of Former Reylo ‘Star Wars’ Fan Fiction

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2026-01-15 11:00:27

The behind-the-scenes story of an upcoming romantic comedy could, on its own, be a pretty fascinating movie. Here’s the pitch. A young Star Wars fan writes a piece of Reylo (that’s Rey and Kylo Ren for the non-shippers out there) alternative universe fanfiction. The fan is approached about turning the story into a novel, only, it can’t be specific to Star Wars anymore. So the names change, but the intention and romance stay the same.

Yes, the iPhone 17 Could Cost $2,400 With Tariffs. But Here's Why This Expert Says It's Unlikely

With President Donald Trump threatening a higher 25% tariff rate for items produced in South Korea and Japan -- two major US tech suppliers -- you might be wondering if the rumored iPhone 17 or other Apple devices like MacBooks or AirPods will cost more soon. The answer is... maybe. But tariffs aren't the only culprit.

Boeing’s Starliner Won’t Get to Fly This Year, but the Wonky Spacecraft Is Far From Dead

gizmodo.com Passant Rabie 2026-01-16 16:50:43

It’s been more than a year since Starliner’s failed test flight left a crew stranded in space, and Boeing’s spacecraft still isn’t ready to fly. In a recent update, NASA officials said they are working toward launching a mission aboard Starliner in 2026, and there probably won’t be any astronauts involved. During a press briefing last week, Steve Stich, NASA’s commercial crew program manager, told reporters that Boeing is making several changes to its Starliner spacecraft to keep its thrusters

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.
