Hi folks! Here's the May 2 edition of the newsletter.

The last seven days have brought a very impressive earnings report from Microsoft, an increase of the cut for PC game devs, and a fix for a faulty Windows update. Be sure to catch up via our overview.

It's a quiet week in terms of rocket launches this week. If we are lucky, we should see SpaceX launch its Starship SN15 from Boca Chica, Texas, as it attempts to perform its first smooth landing.

Microsoft released the RTM build of the Windows 10 May 2021 Update, previously known as 21H1 this week in the Release Preview Channel and on ISO for Windows Insiders. Here's how to install it.

EE has announced the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate add-on with inclusive unlimited data for £10 per month for customers with Android phones. EE said this will save customers around £100 per year.

After beginning the rollout of Edge 91 to the Beta channel, Edge 92 is being promoted to the Dev channel. Considering that this is the first build, the feature list is light, but there are bug fixes.

Microsoft has released Edge 91 to the Beta channel with reading mode improvements, color themes, improved password management, and more. The update has begun rolling out to all Beta users.
