Did they fall or were they pushed? Facebook, Instagram, and Threads all fell over. (Hot Hardware)

Which is not a huge surprise because they are all the same thing.

Most likely DNS. It usually is.

Tech News

Microsoft is killing off Windows Subsystem for Android. (Bleeping Computer)

This, as the name would suggest, was a subsystem that ran Android apps on Windows.

It is no longer available as of, uh, yesterday. Thanks for the warning, Microsoft.

It was only a developer preview anyway, and apparently not a popular one.
That's one way to do it: Samsung has renamed its second generation 3nm process to 2nm. (Tom's Hardware)

If it worked for Intel, why not?
The Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 2024 has a 2880x1800 14" OLED display, 32GB of RAM, an AMD CPU, Nvidia graphics, and no Four Essential Keys. (Tom's Hardware)

It does have an extra four macro keys above the usual function key row, but that's a bit of an awkward location.
The HP Omen Transcend 14 has a 2880x1800 OLED display, 16GB of RAM, an Intel CPU, Nvidia graphics, and no Four Essential Keys. (Notebook Check)

Give this one a miss.
The Asus Zenbook Duo OLED 2024 has a 2880x1800 OLED display, and a 2880x1800 OLED display. (Notebook Check)

It has an Intel 185H CPU (the latest generation), up to 32GB of RAM and 2TB of SSD, pen support on both screens as far as I can tell, and a keyboard that can clip on to the lower screen or be used separately.

Interesting device, except (a) no Four Essential Keys and (b) $4000.

Disclaimer: Don't eat the yellow snow.
