Discord finally stops treating Snapdragon Windows laptops like second-class PCs

Windows users on the ARM platform are finally getting some love from Discord. The company is finally making a dedicated version for Windows on ARM, which should’ve been the case right from the start. Discord is now available natively on ARM-based laptops, and the company’s own download page now lists separate Windows x64 and ARM64 downloads for the desktop app. So laptops running Qualcomm Snapdragon chips, including the recent wave of Copilot+ PCs, where users previously had to rely on the regular Windows app running through emulation. Why this is really good news for Discord users? A native Discord app…

Copilot is getting a sidebar treatment for Windows 11, just like Gemini in Chrome

Microsoft has redesigned Copilot for Windows 11 more than a couple of times. Its latest idea, however, is based on one that it already tried and abandoned: docking the AI assistant to the side of your screen so that it remains accessible even when you’re using other apps.  By default, Microsoft’s AI assistant still opens as a standalone app (in a separate window). But hovering over a new dropdown menu in the title bar now offers dedicated window snapping options that let you dock it to either the left or right edge of the screen (via Windows Latest). What is…

He told me the way he makes games is pretty “stupid,” so it might not be worthwhile to have a conversation. I found his apprehension surprising, because on the surface,…

The Boys finale tried too hard with real-world symbolism and totally forgot fans like me

Here is my problem with The Boys finale. After five seasons of buildup, watching Homelander laser people in half for looking at him wrong and Butcher destroying himself for one shot at revenge – I wanted a bloodbath. And somehow, the memes that came out of the finale were more satisfying than the episode itself. The Boys season 5 finale, titled “Blood and Bone,” is not the worst finale ever made, but it is one of the most frustrating ones to sit through. The show threw out every method the Boys had spent seasons chasing to kill Homelander, botched the…
