Shifting to crypto, Bitcoin is finding its footing after dipping to seventy-six thousand three hundred dollars, with spot ETFs shedding nearly four hundred million dollars over two consecutive days. Binance customers pulled a net four point seven two billion dollars from the exchange, suggesting broader nervousness in the market as political uncertainty adds pressure to an already volatile asset class.

And in a story that's equal parts engineering curiosity and absurdity, a developer known for the Tiny eleven project has managed to boot Windows eleven's latest build using just one hundred twenty-eight megabytes of RAM. That's roughly three percent of what Microsoft recommends. The stripped-down system could still access the desktop, File Explorer, and Notepad, proving that sometimes the most interesting question in tech is simply: how far can you push it?
