For folks who keep their PCs overclocked and running on the bleeding edge of performance (because, otherwise, these folks never win the LAN contests!), Crucial Technology is now offering 1 GB Ballistix and Ballistics Tracer 1066 MHz DDR2 memory modules.

Like previous Ballistix offerings, the PC2-85000 modules sport Enhanced Performance Profiles (EPP), which enables the module to utilize different memory settings on EPP-supported systems to respond to processor overclocking, delivering better performance. The the PC2-8500 sticks are 240-pin, 2.2V unbuffered non-ECC memory, sporting 64 128MB chips and CAS 5-5-5-15 CAS latency numbers.

“For demanding customers looking for excellent performance, faster speeds and lower latencies, Ballistix memory is the ideal solution—and the new DDR2 PC2-8500 modules are no exception. Plus, they’re backed by a limited-lifetime warranty and the stellar support that’s synonymous with the Crucial name,” said Jeremy Mortenson, Crucial’s DRAM product marketing manager, in a release.

The Ballistix Tracer PC2-8500 1 GB modules are priced at $227.99 while the Ballistix 1 GB modules run $231.99; 2 GB kits are available for both.

Windows 11 Insider builds bring expanded Search features and new privacy controls

Windows Search is finally doing more than helping you find that one missing file

Windows 11

Microsoft is giving Windows 11 Search a sizeable upgrade, turning it into something more useful than a place to hunt for missing files and applications. The company has announced new Insider Preview builds for the Beta and Experimental channels, bringing expanded Search capabilities alongside a new privacy policy for commercial customers.

The update is part of Microsoft's effort to make Windows Search more action-oriented. Instead of simply showing links to settings or applications, Search can now let users perform certain tasks directly from the results panel. That could mean adjusting screen brightness, changing cursor size, or even sending a text message without opening another application.

Writers are now deliberately making mistakes because, apparently, good prose looks like AI

Congratulations, AI detectors: you've made an em dash a potential crime

Representative Image

AI has managed to do something rather unexpected: it is making people afraid of sounding like themselves. As detection tools such as Pangram increasingly influence debates over whether a piece of writing was created by a human or a chatbot, authors and students are changing their language to avoid raising suspicion. That means fewer familiar writing habits, more deliberate imperfections and, in some cases, people second-guessing perfectly ordinary sentences.

A Bloomberg report has highlighted how AI detection has moved beyond catching machine-generated content. It is now influencing the way people write, even when they claim they have never used AI.
