Venezuela's twin quakes push death toll above 4,000 as UN mobilizes aid

The UN is appealing for about $300 million to aid 1.3 million people, and direct damage to housing and infrastructure is estimated at $37 billion, highlighting a massive recovery effort hampered by weakened state services and political tensions over the government’s response.

Windows 11’s new recovery feature may eat up to 50GB, but it powers quick fixes for boot loops

Microsoft’s Windows 11 Point-in-time Restore is a built-in OS-recovery feature that creates daily OS-volume restore points to help fix boot loops. It arrives with the June 2026 KB5095093 update and, on 200GB+ OS drives, auto-enables after the June/July updates. It can use up to 50GB of disk space (2% of disk size, with a floor of 2GB and a ceiling of 50GB), allocated on demand via VSS and reserved storage. Restore points are kept for 72 hours by default, with enterprise IT admins able to adjust frequency and retention. The feature only affects the OS volume and does not touch secondary drives or cloud file synchronizations; restores run through Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) and can take about 30 minutes. Smaller drives (<200GB) stay off by default but can be enabled manually.
