The new Windows 11 Insider release has a weird bug where it plays the Windows Vista start-up music instead of the current one

The latest Windows 11 Insider build has a bug where it plays the Windows Vista start-up music instead of the correct one.
The bug causing the outdated Windows Vista start-up sound to play is surprising, given Vista's negative reputation.
It is unclear if Microsoft accidentally reintroduced the Vista sound or if it has always been hidden in Windows 11.
The possibility of old system sounds still being present in Windows prompts curiosity about what other relics may be tucked away.
The nostalgia-inducing sound clips from past Windows versions like Windows 95 and XP evoke memories of system reboots and hardware issues.
Windows XP's start-up sound is particularly memorable for its triumphant music signaling the system is ready.
With modern PCs' fast boot times, there is limited opportunity to appreciate Windows 11's basic start-up sound.
The author requests Microsoft to not only fix the bug but also provide all historical start-up sounds in the Settings app.

Blow up strange new worlds in Away Team, a Spelunky-style base builder from the Oxygen Not Included devs

Klei Interactive, developers of Invisible Inc and Don't Starve, announce a 2D base-building game titled Away Team set in the same universe as Oxygen Not Included.
The game emphasizes heavily on traitorous physics and simulation, where 'every tile is simulated.'
Away Team is compared to Noita and builds on the volatile foundations of Oxygen Not Included, known for its procedural engineering problems.
Players control a solitary Oxygen Not Included colonist who embarks on a journey to a strange world after pressing a red button, armed with a vacuum gun to explore, gather materials, and build a shelter.
Survival elements like food, oxygen, and an understanding of conductivity are vital in the game.
Matter in the game follows physical laws like thermodynamics; liquids flow, fires spread, and materials behave unpredictably.
Despite the intricate mechanics, the game adds humor with scenarios like Captain Picard from Star Trek gingerly handling acid vats – a departure from mainstream sci-fi narratives.
Away Team doesn't have a specific release date yet but has a Steam page for updates.
