Discord's Electron 42 upgrade cut median CPU usage by 17% but raised memory use by 4%. With WhatsApp and Teams also running on web runtimes and 8GB Windows 11 PCs returning, WinUI 3 is the native path Microsoft now wants developers like Discord to take. A toggle only dials things down.

Microsoft 365's X account now tells followers to go find Copilot at @MSFTCopilot instead, part of a years-long rename chain from Office to Microsoft 365 to Microsoft 365 Copilot to just Copilot. The replies show just how little sense any of it makes to actual customers.
