Microsoft has added a new feature to Notepad with the latest update of this service for Windows 11, which introduces a character counter at the bottom of the application interface to know the exact length of the document. Currently, this service only has indicators that indicate which line of text the user is on, as well as the column occupied by the one that has been previously entered or is currently selected. If they want to know the number of characters in the document, users have until now had to use alternative tools such as Notepad2 or Notepad++, as BleepingComputer reminds.However, version 11.2311.29.0 of this text tool, which has reached Windows Insiders in the Canary and Dev channels, introduces a tool that allows you to count characters in Notepad. This was shared by the firm on its blog, where it noted that when a part of the text is selected, the number of selected characters is displayed along with the character count of the entire document, "which ensures that you always have a clear view of the length of the document ", he clarified.This improvement also adds a shortcut to access Notepad to modify files directly from File Explorer , which must be accessed by right-clicking the mouse. This is not the only novelty that the company has introduced in Notepad in recent months, since at the beginning of this year it announced the ability to create several tabs, which are organized in a single window of this service.. https://www.europapress.es/portaltic/software/noticia-microsoft-incorpora-herramienta-recuento-caracteres-bloc-notas-20231211150920.html

Microsoft has updated Copilot by introducing the new OpenAI model, GPT-4 Turbo , improving capabilities and functions for creating images with DALL-E 3 , and developing a code interpreter for programmers. The technology giant continues to work on the development of new capabilities focused on AI and generative AI , in order to continue advancing with respect to all the innovations they have presented during the last ten months , "as a reflection of years of research in AI, close collaborations and revolutionary innovations. With all this, Microsoft has stated that 2023 "will be remembered as the year in which AI definitively established itself in everyday life , changing the way of working and approaching day-to-day tasks." In this sense, it has announced a series of new features incorporated into its AI-powered assistant Copilot, with which it aims to offer users "the best way to take advantage of the benefits of AI", as it has highlighted in a statement on its website. Blog . One of these novelties is the incorporation of the latest OpenAI model, GPT-4 Turbo, in the Copilot 'chatbot' , so that it will allow users to generate responses with a "much more detailed" context. Furthermore, with this new model, the assistant will be able to tackle "longer and more complex" tasks, such as, for example, when developing one's own programming code.The GPT-4 Turbo model, which was recently launched in November , is a "more capable" and "more economical" model than its predecessor. Likewise, it supports a context window - that is, the prompts inserted by users - of 128K, instead of 32K. That is, the new model can contain "the equivalent of more than 300 pages of text in a single message."Another feature that improves the GPT-4 Turbo model for Copilot is that it has been updated with new information until April 2023. For the moment, Microsoft has detailed that this improvement is being tested with "select users" and that it will be integrated by complete in the coming weeks. In this way, through Copilot, users will be able to access all the capabilities offered by the model that, previously, were only available to those who use the OpenAI payment API.Along with the integration of the GPT-4 Turbo model, Microsoft has announced the Deep Search functionality in Bing, with which taking advantage of the power of the new OpenAI model, it will offer search results optimized for "complex topics." For example, with more complete descriptions. MORE ACCURATE IMAGES WITH DALL-E 3 Microsoft has also implemented new features in the ability to create "more accurate" and "higher quality" images thanks to the integration of the DALL-E 3 generative AI model, which OpenAI launched last September.This model is capable of understanding more nuances and details from text transcriptions , therefore, it is able to "more easily" translate users' ideas into precise images. Thus, users can now request Copilot to create images with DALL-E 3. Following this line, Microsoft is combining the capabilities of the GPT-4 model with Bing image search to "deliver greater understanding of images for queries." CODE INTERPRETER On the other hand, Microsoft has announced that it is developing a new capability that will allow complex tasks such as calculations, coding, data analysis, visualization and mathematics to be performed "with greater precision" and deliver the results directly to users.This is a code interpreter tool with which Copilot can write code to respond to complex user requests written in natural language. Likewise, it will run the code in an isolated environment and, after obtaining the results, it will offer them to users in natural language to provide higher quality responses. Likewise, Microsoft has also detailed that with this code interpreter, users will also be able to upload files to Copilot to be able to work with their own data and code, in addition to Bing search results. https://www.europapress.es/portaltic/software/noticia-microsoft-actualiza-copilot-introduciendo-gpt-turbo-version-mejorada-dall-interprete-codigo-20231208175850.html

As we head closer to launch, more Intel Core Ultra "Meteor Lake" CPU leaks have started to occur and the latest one is for the flagship Core Ultra 9 185H chip. Intel Core Ultra 9 185H "Meteor Lake" Flagship CPU Tested In Samsung Galaxy Book 4 Ultra Laptop The Intel Meteor Lake CPU was spotted within the Samsung Galaxy Book 4 Ultra which is the high-end offering from the laptop manufacturer. This particular configuration comes with the Intel Core Ultra 9 185H which is supposed to be the flagship Meteor Lake CPU, offering up to 16 cores (6 P, 8 E, 2 LP-E cores), 24 threads, and up to 5.1 GHz clock speeds with 24 MB cache (L3). We previously reported that Intel would first focus on offering Core Ultra 7 & Core Ultra 5 SKUs for laptops before its partners can offer the higher-end Core Ultra 9 CPU s.The Intel Core Ultra 9 185H "Meteor Lake" CPU is listed as a QS sample which is the C0 stepping. This seems to be very close to the retail model but we can still see some improvements in the final silicon. The CPU could be seen boosting up to 5.1 GHz which is its maximum clock speed. No info is provided on other specs such as memory speeds, power limits, and thermal targets as these are leading factors to consider when evaluating performance against different laptops. The Samsung Galaxy Book 4 Ultra comprises of a standard dual-fan design with a copper aluminum baseplate that sits over the CPU and the dGPU. In terms of performance, the Intel Core Ultra 9 185H "Meteor Lake" CPU scored 767 points in the single-core and 8096 points in the multi-core tests. These are lower numbers than the Raptor Lake Core i9-13900H which houses 14 cores and up to 5.4 GHz clock speeds. At the same time, the Intel Meteor Lake CPU does end up 14% faster in single-core and 5% faster in multi-core against AMD's Ryzen 9 7940HS CPU. In previously leaked benchmarks, the battery timings on the Intel Meteor Lake CPUs were shown to be very disappointing but once again, all performance and battery figures mean nothing unless we know the full specifications and thermal/power limits of the laptops on which the Intel Meteor Lake CPUs were tested. With the launch just a few days away, we will know for sure how Intel's next-gen client CPU family performs in the laptop segment so stay tuned as more info drops on the 14th of December.

Monique Olivier had previously said her role was to "reassure" victims By Steve Knibbs, Dickon Hooper & Dawn Limbu BBC News, Paris The ex-wife of a serial killer has apologised over the death of a British student who was kidnapped and murdered. Joanna Parrish from Gloucestershire was 20 when she was kidnapped from Auxerre in 1990. Monique Olivier, who is already serving a life sentence, is in court over her death, alongside another murder and kidnap. Olivier added that she regretted not intervening in Ms Parrish's death saying she "deserved to live". Her ex-husband Michel Fourniret, who was convicted for the murders of seven girls and young woman between 1987 and 2001, died in prison in 2021.The trauma of Ms Parrish's death has remained with her parents Ms Parrish's parents, Roger Parrish and Pauline Murrell, were not in court to hear Olivier's apology. "I understand that it was a monstrosity what we did. It's unforgiveable. If I had a daughter, I wouldn't forgive," she said at the Cour d'Assise in Paris on Tuesday. "It is horrible. She was beautiful. I regret it. She didn't deserve that. I am sorry" Giving evidence at the trial on Monday, Mr Parrish said Ms Parrish was a "kind, conscientious and exceptional" woman whose life was "cruelly ended by a narcissistic psychopath and her female partner". He said the pain has never subsidized in the 33 years that have passed. The president of the court, Didier Safar said Monique Olivier has lied and contradicted herself, and has not always answered the numerous questions put to her.Joanna Parrish's body was found in the Yonne River in France in 1990 The crimes date back to 1988 in the case of Marie-Angele Domece, who disappeared aged 18 from Auxerre, and 1990 for Miss Parrish. The third charge facing Olivier is for complicity in the 2003 disappearance of nine-year-old Estelle Mouzin, whose body has never been found. Fourniret, who was jailed for life in 2008, confessed to the crimes in relation to Ms Parish and Ms Domece in 2018, but died before he could face justice. Olivier had previously told the court her role was to reassure the victims. She said she did not know where the bodies of Ms Domece and Ms Mouzin are. When shown a photo of Ms Domece at the court hearing, she said: "She should never have disappeared."Eric Mouzin, father of Estelle Mouzin, said it was a tough hearing Estelle Mouzin's father was present at the court. He said Tuesday's hearing had been "tough". "We are in a system where it's as if we don't speak about real people," he said, referring to the court proceedings. "Didier Seban tried to bring Olivier back to her contact with people - by showing her their faces when they were alive, particularly Jo. "And then to confront her with the pictures after the discovery of her body. We saw Olivier's reaction - she pushed it away."Ms Parrish posted an advert in a newspaper offering English lessons Fourniret had met Ms Parrish through a newspaper advert where she was offering English lessons. Olivier said he had "stalked" her outside the school that she had been working in as part of her university degree course. She said that Fourniret had planned to imprison her for several days before killing her. Olivier said Ms Parrish may have been taken to her and Fourniret's house close by in St Cyr Les Colons.Michel Fourniret and Monique Olivier lived in St Cyr Les Colons When asked about what had been said in court earlier, Didier Seban, the Parrish family lawyer, said: "it's painful for the families [and the] justice system hasn't put [time] into these cases." Olivier had previously said she was afraid of Fourniret and told the court that she was "never anything more than the dog." who had to "obey". She said she had "done nothing wrong" before she met Fourniret. The court previously heard that in 1987 Olivier met Fourniret whilst he was in prison for sexual violence against women. They exchanged around 200 letters and got married. Their son Selim was born in 1988. The trial is expected to continue until 15 December.. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-gloucestershire-67623186

Simon returned to port in Plymouth to a hero's welcome in 1949 At a glance Simon is the only cat to have been awarded the Dickin Medal He kept vermin away from the food supply after Plymouth's HMS Amethyst was bombed and the crew stranded Simon is among 75 recipients of the animal equivalent of the Victoria CrossSimon defied serious injury to deter rats and safe vital food supplies It was during the Yangtze Incident in 1949, that a shell blast killed and wounded a number of crew members, said Nina Downing, PDSA veterinary nurse.Simon defied serious injury to deter rats and safe vital food supplies It was during the Yangtze Incident in 1949, that a shell blast killed and wounded a number of crew members, said Nina Downing, PDSA veterinary nurse. HMS Amethyst had been ordered up the Yangtze River to act as a guardship for the British Embassy in Nanjing and came under fire from Communist artillery. In attempting to avoid the shelling it ran aground. Sustaining serious injury himself, Simon managed to rally enough to return to duty. Among his subsequent daring exploits, he pounced upon an "extremely ferocious rat" which threatened the very survival of his human shipmates, Ms Downing said. She added: "Simon was really badly injured but despite that he kept on top of the vermin and protected the really important food supplies for 10 weeks for that crew, who were stranded. "And in turn, he basically saved their lives."Simon was buried at the PDSA graveyard in Essex Describing Simon as their "true saviour", the crew bestowed upon him the title of "able seaman" - a sign of their respect and pride, said the PDSA. Simon received a hero's welcome when the ship returned to dock in Plymouth on 1 November 1949. The PDSA, a charity which cares for pets whose owners cannot afford the full cost of their veterinary treatment, said his behaviour throughout his tour of duty had been "of the highest order". He was buried at the PDSA Animal Cemetery at Illford in Essex. Regarded as the animal equivalent of the Victoria Cross, the Dickin Medal was established by PDSA founder Maria Dickin The first honour was awarded in 1943 and since then 75 animals have received the medal Among them are 38 dogs, 32 pigeons, four horses - and one cat Sadie Sadie the labrador received the Dickin Medal in February 2007 for "outstanding gallantry" while serving in Afghanistan. Trained by the Royal Army Veterinary Corps in Leicestershire as a specialist Arms and Explosives Dog, Sadie had served in the Balkans and Iraq before her posting to Afghanistan in November 2005. Sadie and her handler L/Cpl Karen Yardley were able to detect an IED packed with high explosives hidden under sandbags, which would have caused "serious injuries and deaths" had it exploded, said the PDSA.G.I.Joe On 18 October 1943, the village of Calvi Vecchia was liberated by Allied Forces, on the same day an air attack had been scheduled to subdue German positions. The 6th London Infantry's advance, said the PDSA, had been so rapid they were in danger of being caught in "friendly fire". G.I. Joe, a member of the United States Army Pigeon Service, was released with a message to call off the attack, flying 20 miles in 20 minutes, reaching Allied lines just as the bombers were preparing to take off. His heroics prevented the "loss of at least 100 Allied soldiers' lives and countless civilians".G.I. Joe saved the lives of "countless civilians" Sgt Reckless Sgt Reckless, a US Marine Corps horse who served during the Korean War, was awarded the Dickin Medal for "bravery and devotion to duty". Trained as an ammunitions carrier, her life-saving work meant she was promoted to sergeant when, in March 1953, she made 51 trips from ammunition depots to firing sites in just one day, also carrying wounded soldiers down the mountain to safety. Robin Hutton, who wrote a biography of Sgt Reckless, said: “Her relationship with the soldiers underscores the vital role of animals in war, not just for their prowess and strength in battle, but for the support and camaraderie they provide to their fellow troops.”Sgt Reckless rescued wounded soldiers from the battlefield.. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ce4pepl7rw2o

attack. Last week two boys were detained in different parts of the country on suspicion of planning a militant Islamist attack on a Christmas market in the city of Leverkusen. And a 20-year-old Iraqi who arrived in Germany last year is in custody on suspicion of planning a knife attack on a Christmas market in Hannover. The head of German domestic intelligence in the eastern state of Thuringia, Stephan Kramer, has warned of the "considerable potential for danger" posed by Hamas-sympathisers, not just to Christmas markets but to major sporting events such as the Paris Olympics and the Euro 2024 football championships next year. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-67624496

NVIDIA is working with Inworld AI to bring lifelike NPCs in next-gen games while also upgrading its own ACE technology with advanced animation & speech features. AI Will Drive More Believable & Realistic NPCs In Next-Gen Games, And NVIDIA Is The Driving Force Behind It All NVIDIA first showcased its ACE (Avatar Cloud Engine) technology at Computex 2023 with the aim of helping developers integrate unique voice, conversation, and motion AI models into the characters in-game. The technology was later upgraded further with NVIDIA's NeMo SteerLM tools which add an extra level of customizations to the attributes of each individual character. An interesting demo was showcased by the company which we talked about in detail here.Now, NVIDIA is taking things to the next level with ACE as the technology now brings more realism and accessibility to AI-powered NPCs, avatars, and digital humans. The new ACE model allows devs to use various cloud APIs for automatic speech recognition (ASR), Text-To-Speech (TTS), Neural Machine Translation (NMT), and Audio2Face (A2F). All of these tools are available in the early access program and work great with po[CENSORED]r rendering tools such as Unreal Engine 5 which is going to be a powerhouse for the development of next-gen AAA gaming experiences.But NVIDIA isn't only working on its own technologies but also partnering with startups who are creating next-gen gaming characters through the use of Generative AI. One such startup is called Inworld AI. If you have been following us, then you would have heard about Inworld AI before, as we have talked about their tech on various occasions. Not only Xbox partnered up with Inworld AI to make an AI-assisted game development toolkit that could enable dynamic stories, quests, and dialogue for future AAA titles; the tech has already been incorporated in existing games by modders with some examples including GTA V getting a whole new storyline with Dynamic AI NPCs and Skyrim getting additional "immersive" dialogue options using Inworld's AI generative AI model. There's also the upcoming MMO Avalon, which will be putting the technology to good use to allow players to easily generate their own content with contextually savvy NPCs that offer realistic interactions based on the player's approach. NVIDIA's blog goes into further detail on Inworld's AI "Character Engine," which is expected to go open-source after securing major funding from the likes of Lightspeed Studios, Microsoft, Samsung, and more. The details reveal the three main layers of the Character Engine:Character Brain Layer: orchestrates a character’s performance by syncing to its multiple personality machine learning models, such as for text-to-speech, automatic speech recognition, emotions, gestures and animations. The layer also enables AI-based NPCs to learn and adapt, navigate relationships and perform motivated actions. For example, users can create triggers using the “Goals and Action” feature to program NPCs to behave in a certain way in response to a given player input. Contextual Mesh Layer: allows developers to set parameters for content and safety mechanisms, custom knowledge and narrative controls. Game developers can use the “Relationships” feature to create emergent narratives, such that an ally can turn into an enemy or vice versa based on how players treat an NPC. Real-Time AI Layer: The Real-Time AI layer ensures optimal performance and scalability for real-time experiences. via NVIDIA Of course, running the Character Engine requires powerful AI hardware, and for this purpose, InWorld AI is utilizing NVIDIA's A100 Ampere accelerators which offer the company the most efficient cost/performance value.Technologies like NVIDIA ACE and Inworld AI's Character Engine truly push the boundaries of what is possible and what can be achieved through Generative AI. NVIDIA has many plans for AI in the future, including fully neural rendering approaches, and this is just a taste of what is yet to come. One of the biggest AAA titles making use of NVIDIA's ACE technology is expected to be S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2, which arrives next year and we definitely can't wait to see it in action using AI to drive the next generation of NPCs... https://wccftech.com/nvidia-ace-inworld-ai-bringing-lifelike-npcs-next-gen-games-contextually-aware-distinct-personalities/

. Two teenagers accused of stabbing an 18-year-old to death in an unprovoked attack were captured "laughing and celebrating" afterwards, a jury heard. Brandon Price, 19, and a 16-year-old youth who cannot be named for legal reasons are charged with murdering Jack Norton, also known as Jack Lowe, in Darlaston on December 7, 2022. The defendants, of Walsall, deny murder and possession of a bladed article. Their trial at Wolverhampton Crown Court is due to last over two weeks. Opening the case, Rachel Brand KC, prosecuting, said that while Mr Price, who was 18 at the time, was the one who stabbed Jack, his co-defendant, who was 15 at the time, had also been charged with murder after "egging him on".The court heard Jack had spent the day shopping in Walsall and Birmingham with two female friends before encountering the two defendants. The pair asked if they could "stick around and hang out" but the 16-year-old defendant soon began "behaving in a threatening manner". "[He was] saying Jack had hurt a member of his family in the past. It seemed to the girls he was trying to start an argument with Jack who wasn't rising to the bait," Ms Brand said.he stabbing happened on a patch of grass known as Cookie Park in Darlaston The group sat down on a bench in an area known as Cookie Park at around 21:00 GMT, the court was told. Jack tried to leave, she said, apparently concerned about the threats the youngster was making, before Mr Price launched the fatal attack. "Jack Norton had paused to fist bump Brandon Price to say 'safe' as young people do," Ms Brand said. "But suddenly, without any warning and we say without any good reason, Brandon Price swung his arm in a sideways motion and he stabbed Jack Norton in the chest." As soon as the teenager had been stabbed, Mr Price was "jumping up and down as if he was excited by what he had done", the court was told. Ms Brand said the two defendants "ran out of the park laughing", with the youth heard to have said "you didn't think we'd [expletive] do it, we've done it, we've done it." 'Whooping with excitement' The two teenagers were later captured by CCTV and audio before disposing of the knife, the prosecutor alleged. "When you listen to that audio track you can tell that these two defendants were celebrating what they had done. "They were literally whooping with excitement." The prosecutor accused Mr Price of "lying" about a claim of self-defence due to a penetrating stab wound. She alleged he had later written to his co-defendant while in custody telling him to change his story. "There was no question of self defence here," Ms Brand said. "Jack Norton had done nothing. "People who are telling the truth don't need to tell each other what to say. " The trial continues. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-birmingham-67382187

The kangaroo was en route to a Quebec zoo when it escaped its handlers By Nadine Yousif BBC News, Toronto Police in Canada learned this week that one of the easiest ways to catch a kangaroo is to grab it by the tail. That is what Durham Regional Police officers did after spotting a female kangaroo that was on the run for several days near Toronto, Canada. The animal had been on the loose since Thursday after it escaped from its handlers. At one point, it was seen running alongside a street on a video that has since made the rounds on social media. Durham Regional Police shared the news of its capture in a post on X early on Monday morning, and said the kangaroo was found unharmed.The animal was one of two kangaroos born and bred in Canada that were on their way to a zoo in Quebec. Cameron Preyde, the park supervisor at the Oshawa Zoo and Fun Farm, told the BBC that the animals were due to stop at his facility for some rest, located about 72 kilometers (45 miles) east of Toronto. But one of them escaped its handlers as they were being unloaded. "This one jumped right over them," Mr Preyde said. "They lost control of it and it was able to just simply run right across into a bunch of farm fields." The escape then sparked a four-day search and rescue mission that involved Mr Preyde and others from the Oshawa Zoo, as well as police and a local lost pet search group. Locals in Oshawa reported multiple sightings of the kangaroo. One local man was shocked to see it running alongside the road as he was driving his son to school. "It was a little bit of an odd start to our morning," Paul Rellinger told CBC, Canada's public broadcaster. He said he first thought it was a deer - a more common wildlife sighting in the area - but quickly realised that it was a kangaroo. "Who expects to see a kangaroo, especially in this part of the world," Mr Rellinger said. Kangaroos are notoriously difficult to catch, Mr Preyde said. For one, they are incredibly fast. They are also not food-motivated like other animals, so they cannot be lured in by food traps or snacks. "They are also really good at being camouflaged, especially at this time of year when everything is brown," he said. After hopping away from law enforcement for several days, police managed to spot the animal and capture it at around 03:00 local time (08:00 GMT) on Monday. In a news release, Durham Regional Police said the kangaroo was caught when it stopped to take "a little break". "While doing so the officers managed to sneak up behind her and grab her tail," police said, but not before it reportedly bopped one officer in the face. Despite that, police say the kangaroo surrendered "peacefully". It was then taken back to the Oshawa Zoo to be examined and fed. Mr Preyde said it is now hanging out with a few other animals, keeping warm and eating a nice meal. "I am very, very relieved," he said. "I will be getting much better sleep from now on, and I think everybody, kangaroos included, have earned a delicious snack and a nice nap." Mr Preyde added that he has been " a bit overwhelmed" by the whole ordeal. "I did not think that this would be a part of what I do," the Canadian park supervisor said. "But apparently it is, and that's fine.".. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-67619065

A Ukrainian serviceman jumps out of a boat on the shore of the Dnipro river By James Waterhouse BBC Ukraine correspondent Outnumbered and outgunned, one front-line soldier has given a sobering account of Ukraine's struggle to cling on to its foothold on the east bank of the vast Dnipro river. Several hundred Ukrainian soldiers have made it there as part of a counter-offensive launched six months ago. Under relentless Russian fire, the soldier spent several weeks on the Russian-occupied side of the river as Ukraine sought to establish a bridgehead around the village of Krynky. The BBC is not naming him to protect his identity. His account, sent via a messaging app, speaks of troop boats blown out of the water, inexperienced reinforcements and a feeling of abandonment by Ukraine's military commanders. It highlights growing tensions as Ukraine's defence against Russia's invasion grinds to the end of another year.Ukraine's military told the BBC they are not commenting on the situation in that area for security reasons. The Ukrainian soldier's quotes are below in bold. Short presentational grey line "The entire river crossing is under constant fire. I've seen boats with my comrades on board just disappear into the water after being hit, lost forever to the Dnipro river. "We must carry everything with us - generators, fuel and food. When you're setting up a bridgehead you need a lot of everything, but supplies weren't planned for this area. "We thought after we made it there the enemy would flee and then we could calmly transport everything we needed, but it didn't turn out that way. "When we arrived on the [eastern] bank, the enemy were waiting. Russians we managed to capture said their forces were tipped off about our landing so when we got there, they knew exactly where to find us. They threw everything at us - artillery, mortars and flame thrower systems. I thought I'd never get out." Short presentational grey line Yet the few hundred marines have been able to dig in, partly helped by Ukrainian artillery fire from the higher, western banks of the Dnipro. The river separates the Russian-occupied and Ukrainian-controlled parts of the southern Kherson region.President Volodymyr Zelensky has been keen to talk up this offensive, framing it as the beginning of something more. Ukraine's General Staff reported in its daily update on Sunday that its forces were maintaining their positions on the eastern bank of the Dnipro, and were inflicting "fire damage on the enemy's rear". This soldier's testimony, however, reveals splits between Ukraine's government and its generals over the state of the war.the manpower it needs. A recent BBC investigation found that nearly 20,000 men have fled Ukraine since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion to avoid the draft. Short presentational grey line "Several brigades were supposed to be posted here, not individual companies - we just don't have enough men. "There are a lot of young guys among us. We need people, but trained people, not the green ones we have there now. There are guys who had spent just three weeks in training, and only managed to shoot a few times. "It's a total nightmare. A year ago, I wouldn't have said that, but now, sorry, I'm fed up. "Everyone who wanted to volunteer for war came a long time ago - it's too hard now to tempt people with money. Now we're getting those who didn't manage to escape the draft. You'll laugh at this, but some of our marines can't even swim." Short presentational grey line The village of Krynky has been turned to rubble. The scenes of palpable relief when Kherson city and swathes of the Kharkiv region were liberated a year ago have yet to be replicated. Instead, Ukraine's wins are chalked up in small parcels of devastated and abandoned land. That makes President Zelensky's case for long-term Western support harder to sell politically. But regardless, the anonymous soldier's fight will soon continue. Short presentational grey line "I got out after getting concussed from a mine, but one of my colleagues didn't make it - all that was left of him was his helmet. "I feel like I escaped from hell, but the guys who replaced us last time got into even more hell than us. "But the next rotation is due. My time to cross the river again is soon."

Microsoft has shared its plans to implement a 'Windows Advanced Settings' panel that will allow developer users to have more autonomy for the configuration of the operating system , as well as for the "advanced behaviors" of the device. The technology company has admitted that, currently, there are "many settings that developers want to modify", however, they are not accessible through the Windows Settings application or are difficult to discover in the operating system. In this framework, Microsoft has detailed that developers usually resort to executing 'scripts' - a programming language used to mani[CENSORED]te the installations of the existing system - to carry out these configurations. In order to improve the experience for developers in this regard, Microsoft has announced that it is working to implement an 'Advanced Settings for Windows' panel, which will be focused on facilitating "more control over the configuration of the Windows operating system and its advanced behaviors " to developer users on the Dev Home platform. In this way, as Microsoft has detailed through a post on Github, the advanced configuration feature would allow users to "quickly optimize, modify and configure their Windows device to its ideal state."Following this line, Microsoft has pointed out that with this panel it will also offer a space for developers to "discover and modify new Windows features specific to developer workflows", as well as a place where they can provide feedback on them . In this way, Microsoft has highlighted that it will be possible to work more closely with the developer community and, thus, "identify additional configurations that are useful to complete in the tools." All this with a "uniform" user interface experience that will allow developers to quickly control new features and customizations to the system.However, the company has stressed that this panel would not replace the default Windows settings panel , but would be intended for developer users with more knowledge about controlling the operating system. https://www.europapress.es/portaltic/software/noticia-microsoft-planea-implementar-panel-configuracion-avanzada-windows-usuarios-desarrolladores-20231204145255.html
