Microsoft has announced that the Windows 11 25H2 update is ready for public consumption, although a specific date for its general release has not yet been confirmed. This version is available in public preview for Windows Insiders who are registered in the Release Preview channel. Despite the excitement this news generates, there is also a sense of disappointment, as, although it is classified as a “feature update,” it does not include significant changes or new standout features.
Fewer updates, but many authorizations
The 25H2 update is considered by Microsoft as an “enablement package.” This means that many of the changes were already implemented previously, and the update is limited to activating those features rather than introducing multiple new ones. Among the modifications, it is expected that some features will be removed, such as PowerShell 2.0 and the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMIC) command line. Additionally, business customers will be able to uninstall certain pre-installed applications from the Microsoft Store through Group Policies on enterprise devices.
Both versions, 25H2 and 24H2, will share a service branch and source code, which should facilitate compatibility, although this still needs to be validated in practice. For Insiders who wish to download the update, Microsoft allows access to it through the “searcher” experience in Windows Update, as long as they meet the necessary hardware requirements.
In addition, commercial customers participating in the Windows Insider for Business program will also be able to start validating the 25H2 update in their organizations through Windows Update for Business. Although the company has not provided a definitive timeline, it has indicated that general availability is expected later in the calendar.
The use of artificial intelligence in the anime industry has generated intense debate among authors and artists. While some, following the lead of figures like Hayao Miyazaki, criticize the integration of this technology, others are beginning to adopt it enthusiastically. Mahiro Maeda, known for his work as a lead animator at Studio Ghibli and his role at Gainax in the creation of Evangelion, has taken a favorable stance towards AI in a recent interview during Hyper Japan. More than just intellectual interest, Maeda commented on his curiosity about how AI could impact the industry, revealing that […]
The use of artificial intelligence in the anime industry has sparked an intense debate among authors and artists. While some, following in the footsteps of figures like Hayao Miyazaki, criticize the integration of this technology, others are beginning to adopt it enthusiastically. Mahiro Maeda, known for his work as a lead animator at Studio Ghibli and his role at Gainax in the creation of Evangelion, has taken a favorable stance towards AI in a recent interview during Hyper Japan.
An interest more than intellectual
Maeda commented on his interest in how AI could impact the industry, revealing that his studio is experimenting with its use in certain projects. “Personally, I am very interested in AI and how it will affect our industry. We cannot create something solely with AI, but soon it may surpass this,” he indicated. In his view, AI has the potential to take on some of the responsibilities of human animators, which could streamline processes that are currently tedious.
AI advocates, like Maeda, argue that if used correctly, it can accelerate production by focusing on technical aspects such as rendering and debugging. “Despite the criticism, AI should not be seen merely as a threat, but as a tool that can coexist with animators, respecting the original material and enhancing efficiency,” says Maeda.
As this technology continues to evolve, it is likely that, just like with other innovations in the past, AI will not completely replace humans in the creation of anime, but will coexist and enhance other production methods. The creative community is on alert, as the way AI integrates into the creative process will remain a hot topic of conversation in the coming years.

MAPPA has finally confirmed the eagerly awaited return of the third season of Jujutsu Kaisen, after a year and a half of silence, a period during which millions of fans have been on the edge of their seats. During a special live event by Toho Animation, a first teaser was presented that promises to raise expectations even higher, suggesting that the new installment will be more intense and unpredictable than the second.
Jujutsu Kaisen returns with a third season very soon
The third season is scheduled to premiere in January 2026, marking the return of the protagonists in a context filled with new characters and confrontations that will test their survival skills. As seen in the preview, the plot will feature a series of challenges that the characters must face in one of the most severe games in the Jujutsu Kaisen universe.
In addition, the release of a movie has been announced for November in Japan, which will summarize the Shibuya arc and present the first two episodes of the third season. This approach will allow fans to catch up with the narrative before the new season begins.
The third part of Jujutsu Kaisen will cover three story arcs: the execution arc, which takes place right after the events of Shibuya; the preparation arc, which will move to a new setting, highlighting an important character; and the Extinction Journey arc, which will unfold in a battle royale format between sorcerers and curses, surely providing an exciting experience for the series’ fans.

Haunted Chocolatier should not suffer any delays
The development of Haunted Chocolatier has progressed slowly, partly because Barone has been working on updates for Stardew Valley all this time. Despite this, Barone committed last year to not return to work on Stardew Valley until completing Haunted Chocolatier. This commitment has led some fans to question whether the new update would interfere with his progress.
Barone responded to fans’ concerns on social media, stating: “My plan is that this will not hinder the development of Haunted Chocolatier.” Although no specific details were provided about the content of update 1.7, it is likely in an early stage of development. Despite the fact that some highly requested features may not be included in this version, Barone has expressed his interest in continuing to update Stardew Valley even in the future, mentioning that he could do so for the next 50 years.
Additionally, Stardew Valley will join the lineup of PlayStation Plus games in September, further increasing its visibility and accessibility for new players. This addition solidifies the game’s reputation as a pillar in the gaming community and its presence will continue to be notable in the current landscape.

No Man’s Sky, the ambitious space exploration video game developed by Hello Games, has come a remarkable way of redemption since its disappointing launch in 2016. At that time, players expressed their dissatisfaction due to numerous unfulfilled promises, which even led to complaints of false advertising. However, after years of constant updates and significant improvements, the title has begun to reap what it sowed, managing to capture the interest of thousands of users once again.
Touching 100,000 simultaneous players
Recently, No Man’s Sky reached an impressive total of 92,728 players on Steam, a figure that marks its highest activity since July 2018. This surge in users coincides with the arrival of the latest update, called Voyagers, which has introduced the Corvette class of ships. These can be customized by players and used as homes in the vast procedurally generated universe, which has been met with enthusiasm, reflected in 91% positive reviews in the last month.
The community has responded positively to the new features that allow players to explore the interiors of their ships and design them to their liking, which has revitalized the overall gaming experience. Sean Murray himself, co-founder of Hello Games, has expressed his commitment to continue expanding the title with more updates in the future, emphasizing that “our journey continues.”
As Hello Games looks to the future, it is also working on its next big project, titled Light No Fire, an open-world fantasy game where they aim to apply many of the lessons learned during the development of No Man’s Sky. Although the journey has been long and difficult, the evolution of the game is a testament to both the perseverance of its developers and the dedication of its growing player base.
A curious incident occurred during the filming of one of the most iconic scenes of the Scream horror saga involving Drew Barrymore.

A curious incident occurred during the filming of one of the most iconic scenes of the Scream horror saga involving Drew Barrymore. In the scene, her character pretends to make a 911 call while being tormented by a serial killer. However, what started as an act turned into a surreal reality when the production team forgot to disconnect the phone from the emergency service.
A curious incident that was nothing
While Barrymore was pressing the numbers on her simulated call, she was actually communicating for real with 911. The agents who received the call were confused to hear a woman screaming and crying, creating a situation that, while terrifying in fiction, turned out to be comical in real life. The constant calls from the set raised concerns, leading the police to return the call in the middle of a take, trying to ensure that everything was okay.
The story behind this amusing anecdote highlights how, at times, reality can surpass fiction. As tensions and fear grew on screen, the filming crew found themselves caught up in a series of events that blurred the line between a film project and an emergency situation. Fortunately, the intervention did not escalate, and it all ended up being just a scare for those involved.
This event, far from being an inconvenience, has become a memorable tale that adds another layer to the story of Scream, a franchise that remains relevant in horror cinema, reminding us of the genre’s ability to blend horror with the unexpected. Over the years, Scream continues to be a source of scares and laughs, both on screen and behind the scenes.
Surely it doesn’t come as a surprise if I tell you that the mobile phone has become the most used camera in the world. It doesn’t matter if you are an amateur, a professional, or a content creator; the improvements in current smartphones and their ease of use have allowed us to capture any moment instantly and with quality.
However, there are many occasions when we will have to make a little more effort to reflect what we see with our own eyes. Flat photos, lifeless colors, objects that get in the way… For all these cases, Adobe Lightroom may be the solution you are looking for.
One of the most useful features of Adobe Lightroom is the Quick Actions, a set of automated tools that will help you edit your photos in seconds, without the need to enter advanced settings. They are designed for those who want quick and effective results.
These actions leverage Adobe’s AI (Adobe Firefly) and Lightroom’s algorithms to automatically detect the most important aspects of the image and apply smart changes. Open an image, click on Actions, and you will see how Lightroom will give you the option to choose from the following options:
Auto: Helps to automatically enhance your image.
Scene: Lightroom analyzes and detects the different elements that make up an image -including people, trees, animals, etc-.
Subject: Automatically detects the main subject of an image.
Background: Lightroom analyzes the photograph to detect the background. You can choose from several Blur effects to apply if you wish.
Sky: Used to detect the sky.
Fixangle: Fixes lens distortions that may exist in a photo.
Meet Scene Enhance, the feature that will improve your images
A dawn that seemed pale can regain its warm tones, while a cloudy sky gains drama with more contrast and detail. Scene Enhance adjusts the exposure and saturation of the sky without you having to do anything.
To use this function, follow these steps:
Open a photograph in Lightroom and select Actions. You will find it in the toolbar located at the bottom.
Click on Scene.
Once here, you can choose from several presets according to your preferences (Futuristic, B&W, Vintage…)
Under the preset you choose, you will find a series of sliders:
Amount: Adjusts the chosen preset in general.
Subject, Background, etc: These sliders adjust the “amount” of the chosen preset over the different areas and elements that make up the photo.
When you are finished, click on the checkmark symbol.
As you can see, Scene Enhance is designed so that with just one touch, you can have any image with a professional finish, without the need to complicate yourself with masks or advanced edits.
Eliminate any distractions from your photos
It is very common that, when taking photos, some “undesired object” sneaks into the frame. In addition to enhancing images, Lightroom also helps us quickly remove these distractions in just a few minutes.
Generative Remove is responsible for doing this. With this function, Lightroom will erase the object you point out and fill the gap in a way that blends with the rest of the image. To use it, do the following:
With your photo open in Adobe Lightroom, click on the eraser button.
Activate the Generative AI option.
Erase whatever you want from the image.
If you want to adjust the retouched area, click on Refine. The application will also show you three variations so you can choose which of the erasures you like best.
When you finish, press Done and then on the checkmark symbol.
Lightroom also includes an option, Remove extra people, which is used to remove people from your images. The tool identifies the main subject of the photo and also the people who are unrelated to it. Then, it removes them.
Just like we did before with Generative Remove, click on the eraser.
Select the Remove extra people function. You will recognize it instantly because its symbol is some people.
Let it analyze the photo. Then, click Remove selected people. You don’t have to remove them all: you can also choose who stays or not. When you’re done, select the checkmark symbol.
Lightroom was already an essential application for those who enjoy photography. Thanks to AI, editing has become more accessible than ever. With Lightroom, you can transform an ordinary photo into a powerful image, ready to share on social media or keep for yourself.
