After decades of haunting computer users with its trademark blue background, Windows’ infamous “Blue Screen of Death” is getting a new look — it will soon turn black. The change comes as part of Microsoft’s wider efforts to make the Windows operating system more resilient, following last year’s major CrowdStrike incident that caused millions of computers worldwide to crash. “It's now easier than ever to manage unexpected restarts and recover quickly,” Microsoft said in a statement from its Redmond, Washington headquarters on Wednesday. As part of the update, Microsoft is simplifying the experience for users facing unexpected system restarts. The redesigned error screen will feature a black background, a shorter message, and will no longer display the familiar frowning face. Instead, it will show the percentage progress for the system restart. The updated interface is expected to roll out later this summer for all devices running Windows 11 (version 24H2). How ChatGPT and other AI tools are changing the teaching profession In addition, Microsoft announced a new “quick machine recovery” feature aimed at reducing downtime, especially during large-scale outages. The mechanism will allow Microsoft to automatically deploy targeted fixes without requiring complex, manual intervention from IT teams. The quick machine recovery feature will also become widely available later this summer on Windows 11, with further improvements expected by the end of the year.   

A homegrown hydrogen internal combustion engine generator set has been put into commercial operation in central China's Hubei Province, contributing to exhaust gas treatment and the reduction of carbon emissions, the China Science Daily reported Wednesday. The 300-kilowatt generator set -- the most powerful of its kind in China -- has been jointly developed by Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Yuchai Power and ONEST-POWER. It is designed to directly utilize hydrogen-rich industrial exhaust gas to generate electricity. Industrial exhaust gas requires purification before it can be used for power generation. However, this generator can directly use hydrogen-rich exhaust gas, cutting purification costs by approximately 40 percent. It also boasts a power generation efficiency of over 42 percent. During its trial operation in a chemical industrial park in Hubei, the generator set converted 500,000 standard cubic meters of waste hydrogen into 8 million kilowatt-hours of clean electricity, which is equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of 7,000 households. How ChatGPT and other AI tools are changing the teaching profession It is estimated that one such generator set operating 6,000 hours annually can consume 1.4 million standard cubic meters of hydrogen and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 1,362 tonnes per year -- equivalent to the carbon sequestration of 74,000 trees. According to the developer, chemical industrial parks across China can recycle up to 4.5 million tonnes of by-product hydrogen annually. Even if only a portion of this hydrogen is used for power generation, such generator sets could make a substantial contribution to reducing CO2 emissions.

Ana Sepúlveda, a math teacher in Dallas, wanted to make geometry exciting for her 6th grade honors class. Knowing her students are passionate about soccer, she decided to connect the subject to the sport. To help, she turned to ChatGPT. Within seconds, the AI provided a detailed five-page lesson plan, complete with a theme: “Geometry is everywhere in soccer — on the field, in the ball, and even in stadium designs!” The plan explained how shapes and angles are used in the game, suggested discussion questions like “Why are these shapes important to soccer?” and proposed a project for students to create their own soccer field or stadium using rulers and protractors. “AI has completely changed the way I work,” said Sepúlveda, who teaches at a bilingual school and uses ChatGPT to translate materials into Spanish. “It’s helping me plan lessons, communicate with parents, and keep students more engaged.” Teachers nationwide are increasingly using AI tools to create quizzes, lesson plans, worksheets, assist with grading, and reduce administrative work. Many say this technology allows them to focus more on teaching. Google may be forced to link to rival search platforms in the UK A Gallup and Walton Family Foundation survey released Wednesday found that 6 in 10 K-12 public school teachers in the U.S. used AI tools during the last academic year. The survey, conducted in April with over 2,000 teachers, showed AI use is most common among high school educators and those early in their careers. According to Gallup research consultant Andrea Malek Ash, teachers who use AI weekly reported saving an average of six hours per week, suggesting AI could help reduce teacher burnout. States are issuing guidelines for using AI tools in classrooms As concerns grow over students misusing AI tools, many schools are introducing guidelines and providing training to ensure teachers use the technology responsibly and avoid shortcuts that could negatively impact student learning. Currently, around two dozen U.S. states have issued AI-related guidance for schools, but how consistently these rules are applied across classrooms varies, according to Maya Israel, an associate professor of educational technology and computer science education at the University of Florida. “We need to make sure AI doesn’t replace a teacher’s professional judgment,” Israel emphasized. She added that while AI can be useful for basic tasks like grading multiple-choice tests, it struggles with more complex assessments requiring nuance. Students should also have a way to report unfair or inaccurate grading, with the final grading decision left to the teacher. AI tools are already saving time for many educators. Roughly 8 in 10 teachers who use AI say it helps reduce workload by assisting with tasks such as creating worksheets, quizzes, or handling administrative duties. About 6 in 10 report that AI has improved the quality of their work, particularly in adapting materials for students or providing feedback. Mary McCarthy, a high school social studies teacher near Houston, said AI has transformed her teaching and improved her work-life balance by easing lesson planning and other tasks. Training provided by her school district has also helped her demonstrate responsible AI use to students. “If all we say is ‘AI is bad, and kids will get lazy,’ then of course that’s what will happen if we don’t guide them,” McCarthy said. “As the adult in the room, I see it as my duty to help them learn how to use this tool responsibly.” OpenAI pulls Jony Ive partnership details after court ruling in trademark dispute Teachers say the technology is best used sparingly Since the launch of ChatGPT in late 2022, opinions on the use of artificial intelligence in education have changed significantly. Many schools initially banned the technology, but over time, educators have begun exploring ways to integrate it into classrooms. Despite this shift, concerns remain. According to a recent study, nearly half of teachers worry that students' reliance on AI could harm their ability to think critically, work independently, or persevere through problem-solving tasks. However, teachers also believe that understanding AI better helps them recognize when students overuse it. Colorado high school English teacher Darren Barkett, for example, says AI-generated assignments often lack grammatical errors and contain unusually complex language—both signs that a chatbot was involved. Barkett himself uses ChatGPT for lesson planning and grading multiple-choice tests and essays. In suburban Chicago, middle school art teacher Lindsay Johnson uses only AI tools approved by her school to ensure student privacy. She introduces AI technology later in the creative process so students can build confidence in their own abilities first. For her eighth graders' final project, Johnson asked students to draw a portrait of someone influential in their lives. After they finished the facial details, she offered them the option to use generative AI for designing the background. She relied on an AI feature in Canva, a design platform vetted by her school district's IT team for safety and privacy. “My goal as an art teacher is to show students the range of tools available and help them understand how to use those tools properly,” Johnson said. Interestingly, some students declined the AI assistance. “About half the class said, ‘I already have a vision, and I want to complete it myself,’” she added.

U.S. traffic safety regulators have launched an inquiry into Elon Musk’s self-driving “robotaxi” trials in Texas following viral videos showing Teslas braking abruptly, veering down the wrong side of the road, and crossing intersections from incorrect lanes. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) confirmed on Tuesday that it has contacted Tesla for more details about the incidents. Although other clips show the robotaxis functioning smoothly, any significant findings from the inquiry could raise concerns over Musk’s repeated assurances about the technology's safety and his ambitious vision of an autonomous future dominated by Tesla vehicles — potentially without steering wheels or drivers. “NHTSA is aware of the referenced incidents and is in contact with the manufacturer to gather additional information,” the agency said in a statement. Passengers testing Tesla robotaxis on Austin roads have generally reported positive experiences, and Tesla’s stock price rose by 8% on Monday. However, news of the federal inquiry caused the stock to fall more than 2% on Tuesday. Tesla has yet to comment publicly. Google may be forced to link to rival search platforms in the UK Dan Ives, a bullish Tesla analyst at Wedbush Securities who experienced a flawless ride during Sunday’s launch of the test program, dismissed the concerning footage circulating on platforms like X and YouTube. “Any issues they encounter will be fixed,” Ives said, calling the test program a “huge success” over the past three days “despite the skeptics.” One such skeptic, vehicle technology expert Sam Abuelsamid of Telemetry Insight, argued the footage was worrying enough to pause public testing altogether. “The system has always had highly erratic performance, working really well a lot of the time but frequently making random and inconsistent but dangerous errors,” Abuelsamid wrote in a message. “This is not a system that should be carrying members of the public or being tested on public roads without trained test drivers behind the wheel.” One widely shared video shows a Tesla entering a left-turn-only lane, but instead of turning, it drives straight through the intersection and into an oncoming lane. The vehicle then swerves several times, with the steering wheel jerking back and forth, before stabilizing. The car proceeds down the wrong side of the road for around 10 seconds. Luckily, no oncoming vehicles were present. The passenger who filmed the incident, money manager Rob Maurer, downplayed the situation. “There are no vehicles anywhere in sight, so this wasn’t a safety issue,” Maurer said in his video commentary. “I didn’t feel uncomfortable in the situation.” Another video shows a Tesla braking suddenly in the middle of the road, possibly reacting to the flashing lights of parked police cars, though the officers appeared to be handling a separate matter nearby. NHTSA has been monitoring Tesla’s autonomous technology closely. The agency launched an investigation last year into how Teslas with Musk’s so-called Full Self-Driving system performed in low-visibility conditions, following several crashes — one of them fatal. Tesla had to recall 2.4 million vehicles at the time. Musk insists his Full Self-Driving Teslas are safer than human drivers, and he claims the upgraded robotaxi system will be so reliable that hundreds of thousands will be deployed by the end of next year. OpenAI pulls Jony Ive partnership details after court ruling in trademark dispute Despite the Austin trials, Musk faces stiff competition. Rivals such as Amazon-owned Zoox and Waymo — the current leader in self-driving taxis — have already launched services in multiple cities. Waymo recently announced it had completed its 10 millionth paid ride. Musk is under pressure to deliver a robotaxi breakthrough. His recent role in the Trump administration as a cost-cutting czar has alienated Tesla’s core buyer base, traditionally made up of liberal, environmentally conscious Americans, contributing to declining sales. European markets have also cooled after Musk publicly supported far-right politicians in Britain and Germany earlier this year. Source: Agency    

Google may soon face new requirements in the UK aimed at providing consumers with more choice over which online search services they use, according to the country’s competition watchdog. The UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is investigating the tech giant under a new law that allows the regulator to demand changes if it finds that a company holds too much power in a particular market. Google currently dominates the UK search market, accounting for over 90% of searches, with approximately 200,000 businesses using its search advertising services to reach customers, as reported by the BBC. Alphabet, Google's parent company, has criticized the CMA's proposed changes, calling them "broad and unfocused." However, the company has said it will "work constructively" with the regulator moving forward. The CMA, which is not accusing Google of anti-competitive behavior at this stage, has outlined a "roadmap" for potential changes to the company’s operations. These changes could include requiring "choice" screens for users to access different search providers and offering more transparency and control for publishers whose content appears in search results. A final decision is expected in October. According to the CMA, the average person in the UK conducts between five and ten searches per day, and businesses spend an average of £33,000 annually on Google advertisements. The watchdog believes that, if competition were functioning properly, this figure could be lower. "Google search has delivered tremendous benefits but our investigation so far suggests there are ways to make these markets more open, competitive and innovative," said CMA Chief Executive Sarah Cardell. She added that the proposed changes would give UK businesses and consumers more choice and control over how they interact with Google’s search services. However, Google expressed concerns over the potential outcomes of the investigation. A company spokesperson said that while the CMA has reiterated that "strategic market status" does not equate to accusations of anti-competitive behavior, the investigation and proposed changes "could have significant implications for businesses and consumers in the UK." Google faces major setback in appeal against EU antitrust fine over Android They also cautioned that the UK has historically benefited from early access to Google innovations, but this could change as a result of what they described as "punitive regulations." Concerns from Businesses and Publishers The CMA’s investigation, which was launched in January, aims to ensure fair competition in online search. It has heard from 47 organizations, including airlines, adult online retailers, and media publishers, about how Google's search practices help or hinder their businesses. EasyJet, for example, noted that changes to the search engine resulting from the European Union’s Digital Markets Act had diverted more customers to online travel agencies, which misrepresented the airline’s services and prices. In response, Google stated that increasing the visibility of rival search engines and comparison sites was part of the required changes under the EU law. However, the company claimed this move had hurt airlines and hotel operators by reducing direct traffic to their websites. Meanwhile, LoveHoney and Ann Summers, which sell sex toys, lingerie, and sexual wellness products, raised concerns about Google’s SafeSearch feature, which censors explicit results and has affected the "discoverability" of their sites. Trade association UK Hospitality also warned that the UK should be cautious about adopting similar search requirements to those in the EU, fearing they could create "unintended consequences" for both businesses and consumers. Implications for Artificial Intelligence Sebastian Cuttill, of the News Media Association, highlighted that the CMA's intervention could have significant implications not just for traditional search engines but also for AI-powered alternatives, such as Google's own AI Overviews. He argued that increasing transparency over how news content is used by tech firms to develop AI tools would be "massive" for publishers. News organizations, including the BBC, have expressed concerns about the use of their content to train AI systems without consent or compensation. "This measure would pursue the statutory objectives of fair dealing and trust and transparency," Cuttill said. Global Scrutiny Google’s search operations have come under increased scrutiny by regulators in other countries as well. In August, a US judge ruled that the company had operated an illegal search monopoly. Additionally, the European Union has imposed multiple enforcement actions, including a €2.4 billion (£2 billion) fine for allegedly "self-preferencing" its Shopping comparison service, a penalty that was upheld by the bloc’s top court last year.

A promising collaboration between OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and renowned iPhone designer Jony Ive to create a new AI hardware product has encountered a legal obstacle after a federal judge ordered a temporary halt to the marketing of the venture. Last month, OpenAI announced the acquisition of io Products, a product and engineering firm co-founded by Ive, in a deal reportedly worth nearly $6.5 billion. However, the project quickly ran into legal trouble when a startup named IYO, which is also working on AI hardware, filed a trademark infringement complaint. The startup claims its product was pitched to Altman’s personal investment firm and Ive's design company in 2022 and alleges that the new venture's name is confusingly similar to its own. Tesla begins robotaxi test run in Austin U.S. District Judge Trina Thompson ruled on Friday that IYO has a sufficiently strong trademark infringement claim to move forward with legal proceedings, scheduling a hearing for October. Until then, Altman, Ive, and OpenAI are barred from “using the IYO mark, and any mark confusingly similar thereto, including the IO mark, in connection with the marketing or sale of related products.” In response to the ruling, OpenAI removed all references to the new venture from its website, including the original May 21 announcement. The replaced webpage now displays a message stating the content is "temporarily down due to a court order" and adds, "We don’t agree with the complaint and are reviewing our options." IYO CEO Jason Rugolo welcomed the court's decision, issuing a statement on Monday asserting that the company will firmly defend its brand and technology. "IYO will not roll over and let Sam and Jony trample on our rights, no matter how rich and famous they are," Rugolo said.

A malfunction in a laser navigation tool led to the crash of a Japanese company’s lunar lander earlier this month, officials confirmed on Tuesday. Tokyo-based ispace revealed that its lander, named Resilience, failed to make a safe touchdown on the moon’s surface — marking the company’s second lunar crash in as many years. The mission aimed to land near the moon’s far northern region known as Mare Frigoris, or the Sea of Cold. NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter later captured images of the crash site, showing debris from Resilience and its mini rover. According to ispace, the laser range finder responsible for measuring the lander's altitude did not activate promptly, resulting in a failure to calculate the distance to the surface. As a result, Resilience was descending at roughly 138 feet (42 meters) per second when communication was lost. The spacecraft crashed just five seconds later. The company's first lunar mission also ended in disaster in 2023 due to faulty software, with both incidents occurring during the critical final descent phase. Tesla begins robotaxi test run in Austin Out of seven recent private-sector attempts to land on the moon, only one succeeded — Firefly Aerospace's Blue Ghost lander, which touched down in March. Interestingly, Blue Ghost had shared the same SpaceX launch from Florida as Resilience back in January. So far, successful moon landings have been achieved by five nations: the United States, Soviet Union, China, India, and Japan. Among them, only the U.S. has sent astronauts to the lunar surface, during NASA's historic Apollo missions over 50 years ago. Despite consecutive failures, ispace remains committed to lunar exploration. The company is preparing for a third landing attempt in 2027 with support from NASA, along with a fourth mission. Additional tests and technical upgrades are expected to raise project costs by approximately 1.5 billion yen (over $10 million), company officials said. Samsung electronics eyes turnaround in HBM segment amid AI surge CEO and founder Takeshi Hakamada emphasized that ispace remains undeterred by recent setbacks and is determined to restore customer confidence. Independent experts will assist with the crash investigation, and the company plans to strengthen its technical cooperation with the Japanese Space Agency. “We are determined to move forward with our future missions,” Hakamada said in Japanese.

After years of ambitious promises and delays, Elon Musk’s long-touted vision of Tesla “robotaxis” is finally hitting the road — albeit modestly — with a small pilot program launched in Austin, Texas, on Sunday. Tesla began testing 10 to 12 self-driving taxis in a limited, geofenced area of Austin, with each ride costing a flat fee of \$4.20. The vehicles are being remotely monitored and have a person in the passenger seat to intervene if needed, as reported by AP.  Musk took to X to share the news, writing, “The @Tesla\_AI robotaxi launch begins in Austin this afternoon with customers paying a \$4.20 flat fee!” The test run marks a significant moment for Tesla, especially after repeated delays since Musk first promised autonomous taxis back in 2019. At the time, he said they would be operational “next year,” a promise he repeated annually without fulfillment. Most recently, in early 2023, Musk claimed Tesla would have “over a million robotaxis” on the road by 2024. While only a dozen vehicles are active now, Musk has vowed rapid expansion of the service, predicting “hundreds of thousands if not a million vehicles next year.” However, industry analysts remain skeptical. “How quickly can he expand the fleet?” asked Garrett Nelson, an analyst at CFRA. “We're talking maybe a dozen vehicles initially. It's very small." Tesla faces growing pressure from several fronts. Political backlash and boycotts linked to Musk’s statements have contributed to plunging sales. Competitors, including Waymo — which just celebrated its 10 millionth paid ride — have pulled ahead with more mature self-driving technology. Waymo uses a sensor suite combining cameras, radar, and lidar, in contrast to Tesla’s camera-only system. Despite recent turbulence, including a \$150 billion stock decline after Musk’s public clash with President Biden, Tesla’s stock has shown resilience, closing Friday at \$322, up from about \$18 a decade ago. Critics have long challenged Tesla’s “Full Self-Driving” system, arguing it’s misleadingly named and not truly autonomous. Federal safety regulators and the Department of Justice have investigated FSD following accidents and lawsuits, though some legal challenges have been dismissed. In one such case, a judge ruled plaintiffs failed to prove Musk “knowingly” made false claims. Space station leak concerns can delay astronaut visit from India, Poland, Hungary Nonetheless, Musk insists that the improved FSD will power Tesla’s robotaxis safely and allow for swift nationwide rollout. His strategy includes transforming existing Teslas on the road into robotaxis via an over-the-air software update. Owners would be able to earn money by adding their vehicles to the fleet while they’re at work or away, a model Musk compared to Airbnb. “Instead of having your car sit in the parking lot, your car could be earning money,” Musk said earlier this year. “You will be able to add or subtract your car to the fleet.” Musk also maintains that Tesla’s reliance on cameras rather than expensive sensors gives the company an edge in scaling operations quickly. “Tesla will have, I don’t know, 99% market share or something ridiculous,” he said during a recent investor call. Dan Ives of Wedbush Securities remains optimistic: “This time Musk may actually pull it off because of Tesla's ability to scale up quickly.” And while analysts like Goldstein remain cautious, they admit Musk has defied expectations before. “Maybe his timelines aren’t realistic,” Goldstein said, “but he can develop futuristic technology products.”
