How to Install Docker on Windows: A Beginner's Guide

Docker installation on Windows 11 and newer versions is a straightforward process and gives access to various Docker-related tools.
Docker packages your application with all the dependencies required to run the application consistently everywhere, giving it a consistent look and feel across all machines.
The article compares Hyper-V and WSL as system requirements for choosing the right runtime.

WSL is a lightweight and simpler alternative with better performance for Linux workloads, making it ideal for most developers.
The author gives step-by-step instructions on how to download Docker Desktop and initiate the installation wizard.
The configuration page during the installation lets you select your runtime and also has options like 'Use WSL 2 instead of Hyper-V (recommended).'

Apple Intelligence News Notification Summaries

Apple Intelligence uses AI to summarize and group notifications, but has been criticized for being inaccurate and misleading in its notifications.
For example, a notification summary about a darts player falsely claimed he won a championship before he had even played his final match.
A news summary falsely notified users via mobile app that Rafael Nadal came out as gay when he did not.
Apple has admitted that its notification summaries feature is full of errors, and is working on an update to cut down on such inaccuracies.
Apple Intelligence's notification summaries are an opt-in feature that can be disabled.
Apple Intelligence is currently a beta release but its advertisements do not state this.
While notification summaries are an opt-in feature, there is no way for app developers to prevent summaries of their apps' notifications.
Some argue that AI-written headlines and summaries in articles could be useful if the content is being generated by an LLM.
Apple is planning to add new countries to the News app beyond the US, UK, Canada and Australia, including building locally focused news coverage in the UK.
The full article text may be used to improve the accuracy of Apple Intelligence.
