Windows Server vNext Preview Build 25169 is now available by Steven Parker Microsoft has released a new build of the Windows Server Insider Preview. Build 25169 is available to download as an ISO from the Windows Server Insider website along with a VHDX, but even though this uses the same underlying kernel as the Windows 11 Dev build development, as per usual, there's no changelog to speak of, so it's unclear what's new or broken in this build. The branding for Server has still not been updated and remains as Windows Server 2022 in the preview. In addition, Microsoft is asking Insiders to refer to these builds as vNext rather than Windows Server 2022 which is alre…

Meta slams FTC for blocking its acquisition of Within by Usama Jawad The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) recently filed a lawsuit against Meta's proposed acquisition of VR fitness studio Within, the company behind the Supernatural fitness app. The regulator says that the move would reduce competition since Meta already owns a similar app, Beat Saber, in this domain. It further noted that the absorption of Within indicates that Meta wants to monopolize the VR hardware market with its Quest 2, as well as the software side by acquiring competing companies. Meta has now issued a strong public response to the lawsuit, slamming the FTC for basing its case on speculati…

Apple reports YoY growth despite difficult economic conditions by Paul Hill Despite tough economic conditions, Apple reported that it saw 2% year-over-year growth in its fiscal third quarter, which runs from April to June. In addition to this, Apple’s CFO, Luca Maestri, said that the installed base of active devices reached an all-time high in each geographic segment and product category. According to CNBC, Apple beat sales and profit targets set by Wall Street, but it said the firm was seeing signs of slowing growth. This is to be expected given the inflation causing people to reduce their discretionary spending. The revenue for the June quarter came in at $83 bi…

Mark Zuckerberg wants Meta to do more with less as revenues drop by Paul Hill Meta saw its first-ever quarterly drop in revenue yesterday as its digital ad sales were put under pressure. In an earnings call to investors, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said that (PDF) he will be looking for ways that the company can do more with less. As the economy slows, customers are buying less and the demand for Meta’s digital ad services is falling, so Meta earns less. In the earnings call, Zuckerberg said: “Given the continued trends, this is even more of a focus now than it was last quarter. Our plan is to steadily reduce headcount growth over the next year.

Zoom Workspace Reservation allows pre-booking of office workspaces, parking spaces, and more by Fiza Ali With the arrival of COVID-19, remote work gained popularity, the traditional definition of an office did a 180, and tech giants came up with innovations termed virtual offices. However, now that COVID-19 is receding, remote and hybrid workers gear up to head back and companies have put their heads together to make the shift efficient for everyone. Zoom has also put in efforts to "close the distance between the office and the remote workspace" by introducing Workspace Reservation.

Wireshark 3.6.7 by Razvan Serea Wireshark is a network packet analyzer. A network packet analyzer will try to capture network packets and tries to display that packet data as detailed as possible. You could think of a network packet analyzer as a measuring device used to examine what's going on inside a network cable, just like a voltmeter is used by an electrician to examine what's going on inside an electric cable (but at a higher level, of course). In the past, such tools were either very expensive, proprietary, or both. However, with the advent of Wireshark, all that has changed. Wireshark is perhaps one of the best open source packet analyzers available today. …

Twitter is testing a status feature... again by Anushe Fawaz Twitter is seemingly working on a feature that allows users to add statuses to their tweets. These statuses are pre-written and not editable yet. They also have emojis with them by default. Twitter decided to test them around 2019 as well, but never announced them officially. Today, it is giving the feature another go. A few of the several statuses are “hot take”, “unpopular opinion”, and “living the dream”. The feature appears as an "Add Status" option under the tweet you are writing. Clicking on it takes the users to a screen showing the list of the 20 or so available pre-made statuses.

Microsoft details how Edge improves performance with cache compression by Taras Buria Microsoft has published a new blog post detailing how disk cache compression helps its browser reduce storage footprint and improve general performance. The Edge browser received cache compression earlier this year in version 102.

Like other modern browsers, Microsoft Edge caches various content on a disk so that the next time you need something, the browser pulls the required bits from a local copy without the need to fetch that data …
