. ... On Wednesday, acting FAAAdministrator Chris Rocheleautold your house Appropriations Committee that the Federal Aviation Administration plans to change its aging air traffic control systems, which still count on floppy disks and Windows 95 computer systems, Tom's Hardwarereports. The company has actually provided a Request For Information to collect propositions from business going to deal with the huge facilities overhaul. The whole concept is to change the system. No more floppy disks or paper strips, Rocheleau stated during the committee hearing. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy called the project the most crucial infrastructure task that we've had in this country for decades, describing it as a bipartisan priority.Most air traffic control service towers and centers throughout the United States currently run with technology that seems frozen in the 20th century, although that isn't always a bad thingwhen it works.Some controllers presently usepaper stripsto track airplane motions and transfer information in between systems utilizing floppies, while their computers run Microsoft'sWindows 95 operating system, which introduced in 1995. As Tom's Hardware notes, modernization of the system is broadly popular. Sheldon Jacobson, a University of Illinois teacher who has actually studied threats in aviation, says that the system works extremely well as is but that an upgrade is still critical, according to NPR. The aviation industry coalition Modern Skies has actually been pushing for ATC modernization and just recently launched an ad highlighting the outdated technology.While the vintage systems may have inadvertently secured air traffic control service from prevalent failures like the CrowdStrike incident that interrupted contemporary computer system systems worldwide in 2024, firm officials say 51 of the FAA's 138 systems are unsustainable due to out-of-date functionality and a lack of spare parts.The FAA isn't alone in holding on to floppy technology. San Francisco's train control system still operates on DOS loaded from 5.25-inch floppy disks, with upgrades not anticipated till 2030 due to spending plan constraints. Japan has actually also had a hard time over the last few years to improve federal government record systems that use floppy disks.Modernizing the air traffic control service system presents engineering challenges that extend far beyond simply setting up more recent computer systems. Unlike typical IT upgrades, ATC systems should keep continuous 24/7 operation, due to the fact that shutting down centers for maintenance might jeopardize aviation security.

One weak point of Valve's Steam Deck gaming handheld and SteamOS is that, by default, they will just run Windows video games from Steam that are supported by the platform's Proton compatibility layer (plus the subset of games that run natively on Linux). ... One weak point of Valve's Steam Deck gaming handheld and SteamOS is that, by default, they will only run Windows games from Steam that are supported by the platform's Proton compatibility layer (plus the subset of games that run natively on Linux). It's possible to install alternative game stores, and Proton's compatibility is typically outstanding, but SteamOS still isn't a true drop-in replacement for Windows.Microsoft and Asus' co-developed ROG Xbox Ally is attempting to use PC players a more extensive compatibility service that likewise maintains a SteamOS-like portable UI by putting a new Xbox-branded user interface on top of standard Windows. And while this user interface will roll out to the ROG Xbox Ally first, Microsoft informed The Verge that the user interface would come to other Ally handhelds next which something similar would be presenting to other Windows handhelds starting next year. Bringing a Steam Deck-style handheld-optimized interface to Windows is something Microsoft has actually been experimenting with internally considering that a minimum of 2022, when workers at an internal hackathon determined the majority of Windows' handheld deficiencies in a slide deck about a proposed Windows Handheld Mode. The mock-up video gaming shell that some Microsoft employees were explore in 2022 shares some similarities with the Xbox-branded interface we saw on the ROG Xbox Ally the other day. Credit: Microsoft/Twitter user _ h0x0d _ It's unclear whether this new Xbox user interface is a direct outgrowth of that slide presentation, however it pitches a tile-based Switch-style gamepad UI with some shallow similarities to what Microsoft exposed yesterday. This theoretical Handheld Mode would likewise have actually featured optimizations for your handheld's touch screen to enhance touch points and exposure and Windows' lack of controller assistance beyond the Steam app and actual games.On the ROG Xbox Ally, the brand-new full-screen interface completely changes the conventional desktop-and-taskbar user interface of Windows, saving what Microsoft says is a couple of gigabytes' worth of RAM while likewise using less energy and other system resources. On a handheld running the normal variation of Windows, like the routine ROG Ally, that Windows overhead is signed up with by extra overhead from things like Asus' Armoury Crate software, which these handhelds currently need to bridge the performance gap between SteamOS and Windows.
