I found a Windows shortcut that makes the Settings app feel embarrassingly incomplete

I found a Windows shortcut that makes the Settings app feel embarrassingly incomplete

Published by skeptic

The default Settings app in Windows 11 is functional, but it’s quite limited compared to something like the classic Control Panel. It certainly gets the job done for most Windows users, including me. However, with Microsoft’s push for a more integrated, online ecosystem, the Settings app has become quite closed off. In fact, a good chunk of the administrative options that used to be part of the User settings are now locked off unless you’re connected to the internet. However, I was pleasantly surprised to discover a hidden feature on Windows that’s basically everything I ever wanted the default Settings app to be. I’m talking about Windows’ God Mode folder. It’s essentially a shortcut that gives you access to most administrative tools, restore point options, and a ton of other settings within a single window.

The Settings app on Windows 11 is restricted in the worst ways possible Using the default Settings app shouldn’t come with any …

Windows 11’s design is broken until you use this free tool to finish what Microsoft left incomplete

Windows 11’s design is broken until you use this free tool to finish what Microsoft left incomplete

I switch between my MacBook and a Windows 11 PC almost every day for work. As much as I enjoy using macOS, there’s no denying it feels cleaner and far more polished than Windows. Even so, whenever I want complete control over my computer and the freedom to customize it the way I like, I always find myself going back to my Windows PC. Microsoft has certainly made Windows 11 look more modern than its predecessors, but the experience still feels unfinished. The Start menu looks sleek and contemporary; then you open something like the Properties window, and it’s like you’ve been teleported back to the Windows 7 era. That inconsistency had been bothering me for a long time until I stumbled across a free tool that let me reshape windows exactly the way I wanted. Related I made Windows 11 look like Windows 7 and it actually works better Using Windows 7 in 2025 isn’t practical, so I did the next best thing. Windows 11 has an identity crisis, and Rectify11 fixes it It’s …

If Therapy Feels Incomplete, Emotional Neglect May Be Why

If Therapy Feels Incomplete, Emotional Neglect May Be Why

Published by Jenni Sidey

Consider this brief exchange from Abby’s therapy session: Abby grew up with childhood emotional neglect, but neither she nor her therapist is aware of this. Abby began therapy with Dr. Simmons because her PCP became concerned that she might be depressed and referred her. Abby: I don’t know what my problem is, Dr. Simmons. I should be happy to see my parents, but every time I go there, all I want to do is leave. Dr. Simmons: What exactly happened while you were there on Sunday? Something must be happening that makes you want to get out of there. Abby: We were sitting around the table having roast beef for Sunday dinner. Everyone was talking, and I just suddenly wanted to get away for no reason at all. Dr. Simmons: What were you all talking about? Something about the topic must have upset you. Abby: We were discussing regular topics, nothing upsetting. The weather, the increased traffic in our area, my parents’ trip to China. Same stuff we usually talk about. Dr. Simmons: Did anyone …

When accurate AI is still dangerously incomplete

When accurate AI is still dangerously incomplete

Published by skeptic

Typically, when building, training and deploying AI, enterprises prioritize accuracy. And that, no doubt, is important; but in highly complex, nuanced industries like law, accuracy alone isn’t enough. Higher stakes mean higher standards: Models outputs must be assessed for relevancy, authority, citation accuracy and hallucination rates.  To tackle this immense task, LexisNexis has evolved beyond standard retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to graph RAG and agentic graphs; it has also built out “planner” and “reflection” AI agents that parse requests and criticize their own outputs.  “There’s no such [thing] as ‘perfect AI’ because you never get 100% accuracy or 100% relevancy, especially in complex, high stake domains like legal,” Min Chen, LexisNexis’ SVP and chief AI officer, acknowledges in a new VentureBeat Beyond the Pilot podcast.  The goal is to manage that uncertainty as much as possible and translate it into consistent customer value. “At the end of the day, what matters most for us is the quality of the AI outcome, and that is a continuous journey of experimentation, iteration and improvement,” Chen said.  Getting ‘complete’ answers …

Victims blast DOJ for incomplete release of documents

Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell are seen in this image released by the Department of Justice in Washington on Dec. 19, 2025, as part of a new trove of documents from its investigations into the late financier and convicted sex offender. Date and context is unclear. U.s. Justice Department | Via Reuters The Department of Justice on Friday is releasing more than 3 million additional pages of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, along with more than 2,000 videos and 180,000 images, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said. The large release comes after weeks of criticism that the DOJ was not complying with the requirement under federal law passed in November that all files related to the notorious sex offender Epstein be publicly released by Dec. 19. Blanche said Friday the DOJ was not releasing the rest of what are more than 6 million total pages identified as potentially responsive to the Epstein Transparency Act. A group of victims of Epstein in a statement blasted the DOJ for what it called the “incomplete” release of the …
