Windows updates are supposed to improve stability and performance, but in practice they often do the opposite. One update runs fine, the next introduces stutter, latency, or sudden slowdowns. The problem is not a single bug. It is how frequently Windows updates change system behavior in ways that are hard to predict and even harder to roll back cleanly. Microsoft’s release notes rarely explain the full scope of what changes. Task scheduling, background service behavior, power management, and driver interaction can all be adjusted silently. On a platform that runs on countless hardware combinations, even a minor tweak can push…
Egyptian democracy activist Alaa Abdel Fattah has apologised for several of his old tweets that have resurfaced, as calls grow for him to be deported from the UK days after he arrived following his release from an Egyptian jail.

Binance co-CEO Richard Teng says the crypto economy added roughly 130 million consumers in 2025. He pointed to a jump from about 170 million users to more than 300 million in just over a year, marking a watershed moment for an industry long chasing mainstream acceptance and wider financial inclusion.

In June 2025, Nigerian drone startup Terra Industries (formerly Terrahaptix) achieved a remarkable feat: it outbid an Israeli consortium to win a $1.2 million contract for hydropower plant security. Terra’s drones, designed and manufactured in Abuja, proved cheaper, faster to deploy, and better suited to Nigeria’s terrain than foreign alternatives. According to Nathan Nwachuku, Terra’s CEO, the competitive advantage came down to “data sovereignty and a full-stack ecosystem.” The contract involves deploying about 12 autonomous drones and over 35 surveillance towers to monitor critical infrastructure.
