Meet, Google's video-meeting app, has received a massive redesign that includes many user experience tweaks for desktop users as well as a slew of new features, including multipinning, which allows you to highlight several streams instead of just one, as well as new AI-driven video capabilities for light changes, autozoom, and a new Power Saver option that restricts data use on slow mobile networks.

Dmitry Rogozin, the head of Roscosmos, claimed that "the first core module of the new Russian orbital station is in the works," with the goal of making it ready for launch in 2025.

It would be amazing if our history wasn’t riddled with fake stories and only the actual truth. I always wonder what would happen if we knew everything that happened during wars. Now, we only have critical thinking.
