Dear Microsoft, where is the Surface to showcase all these improvements to Windows 11?
Microsoft is rolling out long-awaited Taskbar and UI fixes in Windows 11 26H2, but where is the flagship Surface hardware to actually show them off?

React vs Vue Drag-and-Drop: dnd-kit in 12 Steps [2026]
Drag-and-drop interfaces are everywhere in 2026 — Kanban boards, dashboard builders, file managers, form designers. But the library you pick to power that interaction looks very different depending on whether you’re shipping in React or Vue. React’s ecosystem has quietly consolidated around @dnd-kit after Atlassian stopped actively maintaining react-beautiful-dnd, while Vue developers still lean on…
SteamOS 3.9 Ships on ROG Ally: 32% Faster Than Win11 [2026]
Valve has quietly turned a two-year side project into the default operating system option for the entire Windows handheld category. SteamOS 3.9, which began rolling out to non-Valve hardware in April 2026, now installs natively on the ROG Ally line, and Asus’s own “enhanced support” listing has effectively become a green light for millions of…
PS5 Slim to PS5 Pro Upgrade: 12 Steps, 90 Min [2026]
Sony’s PS5 Pro now carries a US sticker price of roughly $699.99, unchanged from its original 2024 launch price, while the standard PS5 Slim sits at $499.99 for the disc model and around $449.99 digital-only. That $200-$250 gap is exactly why so many PS5 Slim owners are stuck deciding whether the upgrade is worth it,…
VICE vs Hoxs64 vs Frodo: C64 Emulators, $500 Gap [2026]
The Commodore 64 sold somewhere between 12.5 million and 17 million units during its production run, and in 2026 more people are running C64 software than at almost any point since the machine went out of production in 1994. That’s thanks to three emulators that have taken very different approaches to recreating a 1982 8-bit…
PagerDuty vs Opsgenie vs incident.io: EOL Hits 2027 [2026]
Atlassian stopped selling new Opsgenie licenses in mid-2025 and set an end-of-support date of April 5, 2027, pushing thousands of on-call teams toward a forced migration decision. That single calendar date has turned a routine tooling comparison into an urgent budget conversation for any engineering org that still routes pages through Opsgenie. Meanwhile PagerDuty closed…
BitSight vs SecurityScorecard vs UpGuard: $21K Gap [2026]
Every enterprise security team eventually hits the same wall: dozens, sometimes thousands, of vendors touching sensitive data, and no realistic way to audit each one by hand. That’s the gap that security ratings platforms were built to close, and in 2026 three vendors dominate the conversation whenever a CISO asks “which third-party risk management (TPRM)…
Tenable vs Qualys vs Rapid7: 436K Plugins, $27K Gap [2026]
Vulnerability scanning used to be a quarterly checkbox. In 2026, it is closer to a live feed. Security teams are watching CVEs land, get weaponized, and show up in CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog within days, sometimes hours. That shift has put fresh pressure on the three tools most enterprises actually run day to day:…
pnpm vs npm vs Bun: 17x Faster Cold Installs [2026]
Open a fresh Node.js project in August 2026 and the first decision you make isn’t a framework or a database. It’s which command installs your dependencies. npm still ships in the box with every Node.js download. pnpm just pushed a major version bump to 12.1.0 and quietly became the most-downloaded package manager on the npm…
How to Scan Container Images With Trivy: 12 Steps [2026]
A threat actor broke into the release pipeline of one of the most widely used open-source security tools on the planet, and the tool at the center of it was itself a vulnerability scanner. On March 19, 2026, attackers used compromised credentials to push a malicious build of Trivy, Aqua Security’s open-source container scanner, then…
