Microsoft has confirmed that Windows 11 is getting a new modern Run dialog with dark mode support and faster performance in a new preview build 26300.8346.
The Run dialog has been around since the Windows 95 era, and it is one of those small Windows features that many power users still rely on every day.
You just need to press Win + R, type a command, open a file path, launch a tool, or quickly jump to a location without opening File Explorer first.
Instructure, the company behind the widely used Canvas learning platform, has disclosed that it recently suffered a cybersecurity incident and is now investigating its impact.
The U.S.-based education technology company is best known for developing Canvas, a widely used learning management system that helps schools, universities, and organizations manage coursework, assignments, and online learning.
“Instructure recently experienced a cybersecurity incident perpetrated by a criminal threat actor. We are actively investigating this incident with the help of outside forensics experts,” reads a statement from Steve Proud, Chief Security Officer.
Microsoft has fixed a known issue causing newly introduced Windows security warnings to display incorrectly when opening Remote Desktop (.rdp) files.
This known issue affects all supported Windows versions, including Windows 11 (KB5083768 & KB5083769), Windows 10 (KB5082200), and Windows Server (KB5082063), on devices with multiple monitors and different display scaling settings.
Microsoft addressed the bug in the optional KB5083631 preview cumulative update for Windows 11, released on Thursday, along with 34 other changes.
Recently, Michael Hall, a doctoral candidate in the Comparative Literature and Cultural Studies Program, was invited to present his work exploring representation in gaming, “Dawnbreaker, the Curious Case of Decolonialism and Colonialism in Final Fantasy XIV, Dawntrail,” at the Popular Culture Association National Conference.
This new expansion for Final Fantasy XIV takes place in what is very clearly the Americas. While the story decenters on the individual, putting more focus on community and tradition, it also puts conquistador armor in the Native American expansion.
“Gaming has an issue with representation of non-Western cultures, and it’s good to point that out through a critical lens,” Hall said. “Representation can be done, both poorly and well.”

Is reality actually real? In this mind-bending 29-minute exploration, theoretical physicist Richard Feynman takes you on a deep dive into quantum mechanics, the double-slit experiment, and the most unsettling discoveries in the history of science — discoveries that suggest the solid, physical world you experience every day may be far less \.
We will achieve interstellar travel 300 years.
Relax as we explore the daunting question of whether humanity will ever journey beyond the stars. From the vast distances of space to the limits of technology, this soothing story unpacks the challenges (and the quiet hope) of interstellar travel.
Where are you watching from, and what time is it there? I’d love to hear in the comments—it’s always wonderful to see how far and wide this sleepy little community reaches.
If this helped you relax or stirred your sense of wonder, feel free to like the video and subscribe for more peaceful science stories to fall asleep to.
Wishing you a quiet night, wherever in the cosmos you may be.
Does quantum mechanics actually imply that every possible outcome of every decision happens somewhere in an expansive reality? And if so, what does that mean for probability, free will, and our understanding of the universe itself?
Brian Greene sits down with David Deutsch, widely regarded as the father of quantum computing, to examine what many physicists are still reluctant to accept about their own theory. They explore why the many-worlds interpretation isn’t just a philosophical curiosity, what the wave function is really telling us about reality, and how decision theory may rescue probability in a fully deterministic multiverse. Deutsch also introduces constructor theory, his framework for rethinking the foundations of physics entirely and explains why the questions we’ve been trained not to ask might be the most important ones in all of science.
This program is part of the Rethinking Reality series, supported by the John Templeton Foundation.

ABOUT WORLD SCIENCE FESTIVAL:
Background Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) may radiologically identify or confirm underlying pathophysiologies in myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA), however, there are scant prospective data evaluating the impact on routine clinical care.
Methods In a multicentre international cohort study of MINOCA, clinical diagnosis, diagnostic certainty and intended clinical management were prospectively determined before and again after CMR. The primary outcome was a composite of change in clinical diagnosis and/or management. Secondary outcomes were individual components of the primary outcome, change in diagnostic certainty and number-needed-to-test for deprescription of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT). Predictors of the primary outcome were evaluated by multivariable logistic regression analysis.
Results In 320 patients, CMR was associated with change in diagnosis and/or management in 63% (95% CI 57% to 68%, p0.001) and significantly increased diagnostic certainty (8÷10 post-CMR (5–9) vs 6/10 pre-CMR (4–7), p0.0001). Relevant predictors of the primary outcome on multivariable analysis were early CMR (≤14 days), absence of atheroma on coronary angiography and significant pre-CMR diagnostic uncertainty (≤5/10); CMR changed diagnosis and/or management in 80% of individuals with all three predictors versus 40% in those with none. In individuals where treating physicians initially chose to prescribe DAPT despite no obstructive culprit lesion, number-needed-to-test by CMR for DAPT deprescription was 3.
Chinese astronomers report the discovery of DESI-HVS1, which may be an old metal-poor hypervelocity star of galactic center origin. The finding, based on the data from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) and ESA’s Gaia satellite, was detailed in a research paper published April 23 on the arXiv pre-print server.
