Microsoft Notepad App for Windows 10 Gets its Major Update in a Decade

Microsoft keeps updating the windows platform from time to time. But some of the first-party apps have been waiting for long in the queue to be updated. One such application is the Microsoft Notepad, but finally, it is getting the attention it deserves. After about a decade, windows notepad update is finally here.
In their official blog last week, Microsoft Windows Insider program employees Dona Sarkar & Brandon LeBlanc have mentioned a list of updated that they have introduced in Build 17666 of the Windows Insider Preview Build.

Improvements in Microsoft Windows Notepad Update

The following are some of the updated that we will see in the new notepad app for windows 10:

Wrap-around find/replace:

Microsoft Notepad Application finally gets the wrap-around find and replace features. In addition, it will also remember your previous selections and will auto-select them when you open the dialogue box the next time. In case you have selected certain text, then it will automatically appear in the search field when you open the find dialogue box.

Text Zoom:

Zooming in the text will now be possible in the new notepad app for windows 10. The zoom option is found in the View-> Zoom menu on the menu bar, and the zoom level is displayed on the status bar. Use Ctrl + Plus to zoom in, Ctrl + Minus to zoom out. Use Ctrl + mouse wheel scroll up to zoom in and Ctrl + mouse wheel scroll down to zoom out. Ctrl + 0 resets the zoom level to default settings.

Line and column numbers with word wrap:

The current version allows displaying the status bar only when we disable the word-wrap. After the current updates, Notepad will be able to display the status bar with the word-wrap enabled as well. The bar is on ‘visible status’ by default. However, you can change the visibility of the status bar from the View menu.

How Does Natural Language Processing (NLP) help Chatbots?

NLP is an interesting tool that helps break down the semantics of natural language such as English, Spanish, German, etc. to individual words. It then deciphers the intent of the input using various combinations of these words and responds appropriately. This piece of technology has been put to use by many organizations across the globe, and you might not even understand when you are interacting with a machine because it seems very human-like, but is very efficient and there is a very minute lag in terms of responses. Quicker responses help keep customers happy with the speedy resolution of issues and hence eventually result in more business and a boost to the top line. Read More:

Google's New Launch : Flutter 1.0 | What is “Stable Cross-Platform”?

Cross-platform (CP) application development is in the limelight lately, and more so as Google announces Flutter 1.0. Many enterprises are now considering CP for developing any new product. Google finally unveiled a stable version of their cross-platform mobile app development – Flutter 1.0, Google’s UI toolkit, on 4th December 2018 at the Live event in London.

Updating Microsoft Windows 10, with Redstone 6

New Builds are Out and Rolling-   17723  (Fast Ring) and  18204  (Skip Ahead). The two new builds are out in the sky of Windows 10. We see some of the changes in build 17723 of  Redstone 5 & 18204 of  19H1  ( Redstone 6 ) which presumably means 2019 first half of the year. Here, we will look at the latest build of the ‘Redstone 5’ 17723. 2 days ago i.e.,  July 25th 2018 was the new release date for the latest build of Redstone 5 range. As per the company’s typical release schedule, Redstone 5 is due to hit the  RTM  (release to manufacturer) status in September, and the public rollout should begin in October. Today, we will be discussing the build 17723 only. That is because the ‘Skip ahead Build’- 18204 has almost nothing new in it for us. Right now, they both are pretty much in the same level. Though it is said to be stable, Skip Ahead might have some issues. However, if you may want to opt- in, to Prepare your PC for Win...
