    You can turn the Steam Machine into a Windows PC.

    As Windows Central reports, Valve has released Windows drivers for the Steam Machine, like it previously did for the Steam Deck, so you can replace its Linux-based SteamOS if you want. However, the Steam Machine still doesn’t support dual-booting, so you can only have one OS installed at a time.

    Reddit is clamping down on spammy AI activity.

    The company says its AI-powered spam detection tools are blocking 23 million spam views each day, while catching around 25,000 new “spammy posts and comments,” and revoking nearly 2 million “inauthentic votes.” Reddit is also working to combat “coordinated patterns of fake behavior and artificial hype,” which we’ve seen with AI systems trying to game AI search results.

    Crayola’s first coloring app for adults includes “nostalgia” themed designs.

    The new iPhone and iPad app from Red Games is launching alongside a line of alcohol-based and acrylic markers aimed at adults, although I doubt they’ll be replacing my Copic or Posca markers. Coloring apps were all the rage a decade ago — let us know if you’re still deep in the virtual pages, or if you’ve swapped the apps for AI-generated designs.
