Live Caption + Translate available now for Windows 11

Can you recall a Teams meeting where you were in a group with people of different nationalities and had difficulty understanding them—either because of their accents or because they spoke too fast? Thanks to Windows' new Live Captions feature, I can now keep up with what they're saying.

This is truly a godsend. Windows now supports live captions and even real-time translation*.

*Note: The live translation feature is currently available only on Copilot+ PCs. That means it requires a Snapdragon X processor with an NPU capable of more than 40 TOPS. AMD and Intel are expected to roll out compatible chips soon.

Rebooting My Blog: A 4-Year Journey and What's New?

Ah, the sweet relief of hitting the refresh button on a dusty blog that's been collecting virtual cobwebs since 2021. It’s been a whirlwind four years ("last blog post was in 2021" now reads like ancient history!).

After clocking in countless hours at work, I finally took a minute to breath (and reminded myself that my keyboard isn’t the only thing that needs a break). During this time, the world didn't just keep spinning, it did so on the axis of technological innovation. AI, the prodigal child of tech, returned with a bang, seemingly having a sleepover with every product under the sun. They forgot to invite us, but we follow keenly! It's hip to hop on the AI bandwagon if you want to play in today’s market.

Here I am, back at the keyboard, not necessarily excited but more relieved to share the tech treasures I’ve been amassing. It might've been work and life throwing curveballs, but never the desire to share thoughts on everything tech and AI from this little nook on the internet.

In the coming weeks, expect some musings about my beloved home server (or shall I say, my new-age digital tree house?). Home labs are the rage now, and frankly, who could resist the allure of DIY server adventures in your very own homestead?

Stay tuned, and here's hoping my next hiatus isn't quite as extended as the last!
