Opera now lets all desktop and gaming users, as well as users of Opera for Android use the in-browser AI, Aria, without having to log in. The Aria AI tool is quite powerful with Image Generation and Understanding, Page Context mode and more. The Page Context mode integrates Aria more deeply into the browser, allowing the users to ask Aria questions about the content on the webpage. This is an improvement that users on Chrome and other browsers don't yet enjoy. Opera's Aria uses the AI Composer engine, which can select the most suitable model from OpenAI or Google's Gemini to handle queries. Essentially, Opera is leveraging Google technology to outperform Chrome.

Microsoft still believes in Skype and says it's used by millions of people each month for chats, calls and video calls. The recent update improves reliability and performance across various platforms. It also resolves permission issue on iPad, fixes button alignment in the Calls tab on Mac, eliminates large spaces between contacts in compact mode on Mobile, removes call option visibility from the Copilot chat on iOS, corrects market selection for channel mute/unmute actions. Besides, Microsoft removed all ads from Skype. But it doesn't mean that Skype is now non-profit. It still earns on cheap international voip calls and local numbers.

Microsoft has announced that on October 14, 2025 Project 2016 and Project 2019 will reach end of support. The only recommendation to customers - is to upgrade to cloud-based Microsoft Planner.

It also includes AI Copilot that helps to create buckets and tasks based on your planning goals, keep up to date on high-priority tasks, potential risks and team availability.

In a move that could only be described as the sort of thing you'd expect from a giant, universe-straddling tech company, Microsoft has politely informed the world that support for Exchange Server 2016 is coming to a dramatic close. On October 14, 2025, to be exact, it will vanish into the ether, much like your last attempt at finding a file you swore you saved. The company encourages everyone to scuttle over to the cloud, where presumably everything will be just a tad less confusing. For those brave souls determined to cling to the notion of running their own email servers, there’s nothing to look forward to except Exchange Server 2019—unless, of course, you’re waiting for the mythical Exchange Server Subscription Edition, which Microsoft, in its infinite wisdom, assures us will appear “sometime in the early part of Q3 of 2025.” If you're lucky enough to be on Exchange Server 2019, upgrading should be as painless as upgrading ever is. But if you're still hanging onto 2016, get ready for a journey akin to building a spaceship out of old cereal boxes, where entire new infrastructures must be forged and your mailboxes shuffled to their new cosmic homes.
