🎮 Gaming: Monster Hunter Paradise Announced With Full Crossplay
Monster Hunter Paradise finally breaks cover: a lush archipelago, glider wingsuits, and seamless four-hunter drop-ins across PC, PlayStation, and Switch 2. Cross-save too. A new “Bond” system grants duo abilities—think hammer-launcher or twin harpoon traps. My squad already picked roles; Palicos look extra sassy.
InDesign Layout Coach watches your frames and snaps typographic grids, baseline rhythm, and column gutters as you move elements. I dragged a messy brochure; it proposed a 12-column system, tuned line lengths for readability, and exported tokens for Figma. Designers keep control—just with smarter guardrails.
🔧 Hardware: Framework 13 Pro Debuts 120 Hz OLED
Framework 13 Pro arrives with a 120 Hz OLED panel, bigger battery, and drop-in mainboards for latest Ryzen or Core chips. I swapped ports to twin USB-C plus HDMI in under a minute. Fans stayed polite exporting video, and the keyboard still feels ThinkPad-level crisp.
Angular 19 Zoneless is now default, swapping Zone.js for reactive signals under the hood. Our dashboard shed janky change detection, p95 render time dropped, and memory stayed flat. Migration path’s gentle: a flag, a linter, and a few refactors around timers. Libraries are already tagging “19-ready.”
📱 App: Apple Wallet Travel Mode Organizes Trips Offline
Apple Wallet Travel Mode now bundles flights, hotel keys, passes, and transit into one timeline that still works underground. It auto-hushes notifications, triggers eSIM and foreign cards, and surfaces exchange rates. My lost-gate panic vanished; the boarding QR was pinned on the lock screen the whole time.
🤖 AI: Copilot 365 Local Grounding Summarizes Docs Offline
Microsoft quietly toggled a new “Copilot 365 Local Grounding” switch on desktop: it crawls synced SharePoint/OneDrive docs, builds a tiny vector index, and answers questions fully offline. I asked for Q3 OKR snippets on a plane; citations popped up, and nothing left the laptop. Enterprise folks will exhale.
