No, reading isn’t dead, but it is evolving. Gen Z’s preference for AI voices over books stems from the ability of AI to deliver a personalized, engaging, and convenient listening experience. The current generation is pivoting towards bite-sized summaries, AI narration, and immersive audio-visual experiences. And the shift isn’t random but is tied to many text

Elon Musk has one more launch to add to his already busy roster. His AI-powered creativity engine, Grok Imagine, which lets you spin up images and videos from text prompts or photos, has finally landed on Android devices—with a catch: it’s free for a limited time. Musk is calling it “superhuman imagination powers” for anyone

Ever given a casual scroll through late-night AI clone generators and wondered, “Could that really be me in a different universe?” Well, you’re in the right seat, because I dove headfirst into exactly that—trying out a bunch of tools that let you make an uncensored AI twin from just your photos. Here’s my story, complete

Cloning used to sound like something out of a late-night sci-fi flick, but these days it’s more about pixels than petri dishes. The idea of recreating an image—sometimes even a person—through artificial intelligence has turned from “someday” into “right now.” I’ve tinkered with a few of these tools myself, and the results can be equal

Microsoft’s move to the cloud-native world means it’s now the custodian of several quite different Linux distributions. Some are internal tools that run deep parts of Azure’s networking infrastructure; others are part of Azure’s Internet of Things platform. However, one of the most important is almost invisible: Azure Linux. First unveiled as CBL-Mariner, Azure Linux

When Anthropic announced its Claude 4 models, the marketing focused heavily on improved reasoning and coding capabilities. But having spent months working with AI coding assistants, I’ve learned that the real revolution isn’t about generating better code snippets — it’s about the emergence of genuine agency. Most discussions about AI coding capabilities focus narrowly on

ASP.NET Core offers a simplified hosting model, called minimal APIs, that allows us to build lightweight APIs with minimal dependencies. We’ve discussed minimal APIs in several earlier posts here. We’ve examined how we can implement in-memory caching, route constraints, model binding, parameter binding, anti-forgery tokens, versioning, JWT authentication, identity authentication, authentication handler, logging, and testing

The launch of a major Windows 10 update isn’t the end of a process — it’s really just the beginning. As soon as one of Microsoft’s feature updates (such as Windows 10 version 22H2) is released, the company quickly gets to work on improving it by fixing bugs, releasing security patches, and occasionally adding new
