In November 2025, Elias Iagnemma made the first ascent of Exodia in Italy, and proposed a grade of V18 (9A+). The boulder was first envisioned by Christian Core and features a 60-degree overhang, around 25 hand moves, and is approximately eight meters long. Describing Exodia, Iagnaemma said it starts with a hard V14 into a no-hands inverted double knee-bar rest, followed by a V16 section with a very powerful crux move. It took him 211 sessions over the course of four and a half years to send. “I’m not saying it’s the hardest boulder in the world,” said Iagnemma, “I’m saying it’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done.”

I’ve personally been a big downer on the Windows 11 experience, but I’ve seen enough from Microsoft that I’m hoping I can finally change my tune. In an extra-long blog post, Microsoft VP of Windows experiences Navjot Virk gave us a rundown of everything that’s coming to the age-old operating system, and it’s not just quality-of-life improvements that could make Windows 11 an OS you actually want to use. Microsoft has been planning these fixes for a while, and they’re available now in the Insider beta and will see a full release later this year. There are dozens of improvements, including the ability to move the taskbar to the sides like you could in previous OS versions. I’ve seen the promised land firsthand, and it’s a Windows 11 experience that may finally not suck. I’ve seen, though I haven’t yet played around with, several bits and bobs of revised functionality built into Microsoft’s OS. Namely, the new Search capabilities and Photos app are both completely redesigned, run faster, and offer more functionality than before. Search is especially better now.

The e-paper industry is undergoing a pivotal transition from black-and-white to color. On October 15, at the 2026 Second E-Paper Ecosystem and Industry Integration Innovation Development Forum, E Ink Holdings and Hanwang Technology jointly unveiled the next-generation color e-paper technology E Ink Kaleido 4, alongside the world's first end product powered by it—the Hanwang M10C Gen 2 color e-paper office tablet.
