OneDrive.com: Microsoft simplifies sharing options

Microsoft has always been committed to reliance of its products and services accessible not only through the classical applications installed on PCs and mobile devices, but also via the web. Expansion of Skype's functionality to the Web of the past few hours has just added another novelty that interests Onedrive.live.com, or the official website that lets you manage your Microsoft cloud service via Internet browser. With a post published in the official Microsoft blog announcing the changes to the user interface that make it easier and intuitive the sharing activity of archived content.

Following the amendment the "Share" called up by pressing the homonym option from the context menu of files or folders, which now features two well-marked items "Get links" and "Mailbox ". The first offers the possibility to generate links that can be easily communicated to the person sharing, the second allows you to invite a contact to view only the files or viewing and editing of the same.

Previously the "Share" options contained "Invite people" and "Get Link." The "Get Link" - according to the analysis of user habits conducted by Microsoft - it was the most used, but was not the default choice, and also could not be defined exactly intuitive because it contained several options to customize the connection and restrict access to content. To reduce the risk of confusion and immediately put at the disposal only the most used options Microsoft has changed the menu as described.

Enabling large-scale change was preceded by a test phase which was attended by around 28,000 users. The new method proved more appreciated, considering the parameter of the number of users who have content and the number of shared content.

The Silent Revolution of On-Device AI: Why the Cloud Is No Longer King

Introduction For years, artificial intelligence has meant one thing: the cloud. Whether you’re asking ChatGPT a question, editing a photo with AI tools, or getting recommendations on Netflix — those decisions happen on distant servers, not your device. But that’s changing. Thanks to major advances in silicon, model compression, and memory architecture, AI is quietly migrating from giant data centres to the palm of your hand. Your phone, your laptop, your smartwatch — all are becoming AI engines in their own right. It’s a shift that redefines not just how AI works, but who controls it, how private it is, and what it can do for you. This article explores the rise of on-device AI — how it works, why it matters, and why the cloud’s days as the centre of the AI universe might be numbered. What Is On-Device AI? On-device AI refers to machine learning models that run locally on your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or edge device — without needing constant access to the cloud. In practi...

Apple’s AI Push: Everything We Know About Apple Intelligence So Far

Apple’s WWDC 2025 confirmed what many suspected: Apple is finally making a serious leap into artificial intelligence. Dubbed “Apple Intelligence,” the suite of AI-powered tools, enhancements, and integrations marks the company’s biggest software evolution in a decade. But unlike competitors racing to plug AI into everything, Apple is taking a slower, more deliberate approach — one rooted in privacy, on-device processing, and ecosystem synergy. If you’re wondering what Apple Intelligence actually is, how it works, and what it means for your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you’re in the right place. This article breaks it all down.   What Is Apple Intelligence? Let’s get the terminology clear first. Apple Intelligence isn’t a product — it’s a platform. It’s not just a chatbot. It’s a system-wide integration of generative AI, machine learning, and personal context awareness, embedded across Apple’s OS platforms. Think of it as a foundational AI layer stitched into iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and m...

Max Q: Anomalous

Hello and welcome back to Max Q! Last week wasn’t the most successful for spaceflight missions. We’ll get into that a bit more below. In this issue: First up, a botched launch from Virgin Orbit… …followed by one from ABL Space Systems News from Rocket Lab, World View and more Virgin Orbit’s botched launch highlights shaky financial future After Virgin Orbit’s launch failure last Monday, during which the mission experienced an  “anomaly” that prevented the rocket from reaching orbit, I went back over the company’s financials — and things aren’t looking good. For Virgin Orbit, this year has likely been completely turned on its head. The company was aiming for three launches this year, but everything will remain grounded until the cause of the anomaly has been identified and resolved. It’s unclear how long that will take, but likely at least three months. Add this delay to Virgin’s dwindling cash reserves and you have a foundation that’s suddenly much shakier than before. ...
