techspot.com Alfonso Maruccia 2026-04-05 14:47:00

What just happened? Cloud-based Windows installs are generally more secure than local setups, especially against physical and network attacks targeting endpoint devices. Now, Microsoft is raising the bar further by enhancing security features specifically for Windows 365 Cloud PCs. Microsoft recently announced two security-focused changes to the Windows 365 Cloud PC platform.

Spotify may finally let you import music without jumping through hoops (APK teardown)

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Spotify is working on a feature to import your music. Currently, the service offers no way to import music from other services. We also discovered a URL for the feature. Hopping from one music service to another can be a pain for multiple reasons. However, losing the playlists you spent all of that time creating may be the biggest pain of all.

Munich from a Hamburger's perspective

news.ycombinator.com Mert Bulan 2026-04-02 00:55:25

Over the long weekend, thanks to Whit Monday being a public holiday in Germany, I decided to visit a friend who lives in Munich. I spent about three and a half days there and thought it would be a good idea to share my thoughts. I saw a lot during my stay, and since I live in Hamburg, I naturally started comparing the two cities. There are quite a few differences. Before I go into the details, I should mention that I’ve been living in Hamburg for seven years, and this was my first time in Bavar

Security may not be exciting, but AWS proves it's essential

techspot.com Bob O'Donnell 2026-04-06 07:26:00

Editor's take: If I'm being totally honest, it's difficult to get excited about improved security capabilities in the tech world. I know they're incredibly important and absolutely essential to keep everything functional in today's cyberthreat-filled world. But it's kind of like thinking about insurance – not much fun. On top of that, by necessity, security updates need to be released at a rate that's as fast (or even faster) than the latest technological innovations in order to keep bad actors

When it launches, the feature will use generative AI to transform videos into various styles, with options potentially including “I’m feeling lucky,” “Subtle movements,” and “Go wild.” Creating AI photos and videos is all the rage these days, but many people are using AI to remix their existing photos and videos.

Inside the US power struggle over coal

technologyreview.com Casey Crownhart 2026-04-07 06:00:00

But the Trump administration wants to keep coal power alive, and the US Department of Energy recently ordered some plants to stay open past their scheduled closures. Here’s why there’s a power struggle over coal. Coal used to be king in the US, but the country has dramatically reduced its dependence on the fuel over the past two decades. It accounted for about 20% of the electricity generated in 2024, down from roughly half in 2000. While the demise of coal has been great for US emissions, the
