Meta admits that Facebook has too much spam content, and will launch a new round of crackdown. SPAMMeta admits that Facebook has too much spam content, and will launch a new round of crackdown. SPAMMeta announced that Facebook will strengthen the quality of its content, targeting those accounts that attract users with long and irrelevant headlines, reducing their reach rate and depriving them of monetization. In the hope of improving the user browsing experience, while suppressing false interactions and false propaganda networks. However, Meta has not responded clearly to the problem of spam generated by artificial intelligence, which has attracted attention from the outside world. In its latest statement, Meta admitted that Facebook News may not always produce fresh and attractive posts, so it plans to adjust the algorithm to reduce the influence of certain content producers. These creators often post long, distracting or unrelated messages, and Meta said it would no longer allow such accounts to earn revenue in order to improve the overall content level. At the same time, Meta has also stepped up its campaign against coordinated fake interaction networks, including hiding messages from related accounts and deleting pages aimed at “hype reach”. The company is also testing a new feature that allows users to anonymously reduce the visibility of false or useless messages in an attempt to better manage the quality of social media interactions. Meta’s move comes as it revamps Facebook in an attempt to attract more young adult users. Mark Zuckerberg previously introduced the platform’s return to the “original Facebook” design, and restarted the hashtag of exclusive friend content, hoping to respond to the young people’s thirst for real social networking. However, the failure of this measure to address the widely-watched issue of AI-generated spam calls into question the effectiveness of the crackdown. In the past year, a large number of nonsensical, even ridiculous AI-generated photos have flooded Facebook, including “Jesus the Shrimp”, which is specifically designed to attract user interaction and earn advertising revenue. According to a 404 Media survey, such content is often fueled by Facebook’s algorithm, which promotes the spread of spam. Even though Meta has publicly promised to improve the quality of its content, it has not yet dealt with the spread of AI-generated spam head-on. In addition to AI-generated images, Facebook News Feeds are also full of screenshots repeating old Reddit posts, or outdated celebrity news that has nothing to do with users’ interests, seriously affecting the user experience. Meta’s most popular content reports often feature cookie-cutter interactive bait, such as asking users to leave a message or solve a simple math problem. Although these posts may not fit the scope of this crackdown, users in general have little interest in such content. Meta emphasizes that in addition to restricting bad content accounts, the company will also increase the exposure of original creators and take action against accounts that steal other people’s works. However, the barrier to creating AI spam is significantly lower than generating high-quality original content, so Facebook still has a long way to go to clean up spam. Data source: Fortune, Engadget

World of Warcraft: Next week’s big event preview, 671 packs and other cards will be gilt achievements, and the small upgrade will save 1/3 of the gilt.
May is coming soon, and World of Warcraft will welcome a brand new CD. There are a lot of new content after this update, so let’s have a sneak peek. First, the trumpet upgrade equipment only needs 10 gilts, but there is an abnormality. This week is the 9th week of the second season in the center of the earth. Players in the first tier have upgraded their equipment to 675 packs and other “gilt Underworld” achievements. After players obtain this achievement, the warband trumpet upgrade mythical equipment only needs 10 gilts, so this is a very important catch-up achievement. In the second season, Blizzard changed the calculation method of the Gilt Andromeda achievement. In the first season, players were initially required to use 639 pieces of equipment for each part to obtain the Gilt Herald achievement. Many players complained that the difficulty of this plan was very high, and it was too face-saving. We couldn’t guarantee that each part would issue just one 639 piece of equipment. Therefore, this season, Blizzard changed the calculation method, and only players with an average load of 675 pieces of equipment were required to obtain the Gilt Andromeda achievement. However, Blizzard’s programmers were a bit unreliable. After this week’s update, some players had already reached 676 pieces of equipment and were still unable to obtain the achievement correctly. According to the repeated attempts and analysis of the players, it is found that there are bugs in the calculation of two-handed weapons, which do not count in the player’s average equipment (for example, 678 two-handed weapons are calculated as 156, etc.). We can also use the above code to check the amount of player equipment “considered” by the system. The current solution is to re-upgrade a one-handed weapon to 662 or more, and the deputy weapon is guaranteed to be 652 or more, and the system can “correctly” calculate the player’s average equipment, etc., so as to obtain achievements. Therefore, it is necessary for us to prepare an extra set of hero-level one-handed weapons, just in case. After repeated testing by players, if players use one-handed weapons + deputy weapons, they only need an average of 671 packs to get the Andermai gilt achievement. For most players in the national server, this is a low threshold, as long as there is a large size full of gilt, it can be achieved, so most players can get the Andermai gilt achievement on the new CD, allowing the trumpet to quickly improve their equipment. Second, the simplest PVP mode is online. Many players have very low PVP levels, but they want to collect PVP rewards, and this week’s man-machine duel can satisfy everyone. The man-machine duel is the easiest PVP mode. Players match all their opponents with AIs. These AIs are far inferior to players in terms of technical level and organization. Therefore, this week is a good opportunity for everyone to brush a lot of points and conquer points. Note that before participating in the man-machine duel, you must not forget to collect quests at the gate of Dornogar. 3. All players can upgrade the Andermai group reputation to level 10. This week, Blizzard has given a special benefit. Due to an abnormality before, some players have directly obtained level 20 group reputation, and even received mechanical tyrannosaurus mounts! After Blizzard identified and urgently fixed the abnormality, players with level 20 reputation were adjusted to level 9. As compensation, as long as all players kill any of the Andromeda Group’s BOSS, their Andromeda Group’s Reputation will be directly upgraded to level 9. In this way, after the new CD is launched, everyone can clean up the group again and can upgrade to level 10 Reputation, get 9% damage and cure buff. 9% damage and cure buff increase greatly, I believe that after this gain, there will be more and more players who will defeat the M6 BOSS and then use the new version of bronze ingots to exchange for M House of Cards. Well, next week’s main update content will be introduced here, I hope everyone can buy the equipment they like.

Microsoft’s net profit rose 18% in the last fiscal quarter: Cloud business growth improved quarter-on-quarter, and performance guidance was higher than expected
Microsoft announced better-than-expected results driven by its cloud business and issued strong guidance that surprised investors. On April 30, local time, Microsoft announced the results of the third fiscal quarter of 2025 ended March 31, 2025. The third fiscal quarter revenue was $70.066 billion, higher than the market expectation of $68.42 billion, an increase of 12% year-on-year; net profit rose 18% year-on-year to $25.824 billion; diluted earnings per share rose 18% year-on-year to $3.46, higher than the market expectation of $3.22. In terms of performance guidance, Microsoft expects the company’s fiscal fourth quarter revenue to reach between $73.15 billion and $74.25 billion, higher than the market expectation of $72.26 billion; Azure cloud business growth is expected to reach 34% to 35%, higher than the market expectation of 31.5%. Satya Nadella, chairperson and CEO of Microsoft, said: “To expand output, reduce costs and accelerate growth, cloud and AI are important inputs that every enterprise needs. From AI infrastructure and platforms to applications, we are innovating across the board to serve our customers.” Summary of Microsoft’s fiscal third quarter results. Source: Microsoft’s financial report Summary of Microsoft’s fiscal third quarter results. Source: On the 30th day of Microsoft’s earnings report, Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) shares rose 0.31% to close at $395.26 per share, with a total market value of $2.94 trillion. After the earnings report was released, Microsoft’s stock price rose more than 9% after hours. At present, the market is closely watching the impact of US tariffs on major companies. Compared with tech giants such as Apple and Amazon, the impact of tariffs on Microsoft is relatively small, because its products and services are less dependent on trade. However, Microsoft’s enterprise customers may also be more cautious about Cloud as a Service, software and AI spending. Asked on a post-earnings call about how to deal with a potential recession, Mr. Nadella said the company would focus on helping customers: “Because of the efficiency of Cloud as a Service, the reach of the company’s business landscape and the unique technology stack-level advantages from SaaS (software-as-a-service) applications to infrastructure, we feel Microsoft can play a big role [in helping customers]… When we face any inflationary pressure or growth pressure to do more with less, software is the most malleable resource.” In a post-earnings call, Microsoft noted that its capital expenditures reached $21.40 billion in the quarter, including equipment purchased through financial leases. Previously, Microsoft said it expected capital expenditures to exceed $80 billion in fiscal 2025. In “other items”, Microsoft’s spending reached $623 million, including part of its investment in OpenAI. The figure was $2.29 billion in the previous quarter. By business, Microsoft’s most closely watched intelligent cloud unit reported revenue of $26.751 billion in the fiscal quarter, up 21% from the same period last year and up from 19% in the previous fiscal quarter. Azure cloud revenue grew 33% year-over-year, up from 31% in the previous fiscal quarter, and Microsoft said 16% of growth was driven by demand for AI, compared with 13% in the previous fiscal quarter. Amy Hood, Microsoft’s chief financial officer, said on the call that the tight supply and demand situation in Microsoft’s non-AI cloud business improved in the quarter: “It’s slightly better, we still have some work to do in terms of scaling, and we’re encouraged by the progress we’ve made.” She also noted that in the AI space, Microsoft’s infrastructure capacity has come online faster than expected. Nadella announced on the call that more than 15 million people now use GitHub Copilot, Microsoft’s developer AI assistant, a figure that is four times higher than in the same period last year. Microsoft’s productivity and business processes division saw revenue increase 10% year-on-year to $29.944 billion in the last quarter, beating market expectations of $29.57 billion. Microsoft 365 Business Products and Cloud as a Service grew 11% year-over-year, with Business Cloud as a Service revenue up 12%; Microsoft 365 Consumer Products and Cloud as a Service grew 10% year-over-year, with Consumer Cloud as a Service revenue up 10%; Business social networking site LinkedIn revenue increased 7% year-over-year; Business Application Dynamics product and Cloud as a Service revenue increased 11% year-over-year. In addition, revenue from the Personal Computing segment, including gaming, reached $13.371 billion, up 6% year-over-year. Among them, Xbox content and services revenue increased by 8% year-on-year; Windows OEM manipulation system licenses and equipment revenue for device manufacturers increased by 3% year-on-year; search and news advertising services revenue excluding traffic acquisition costs increased by 21% year-on-year. Among them, the sales volume of devices and Windows operating system licenses for device manufacturers increased by 3%. Microsoft said that its inventory levels remained high due to the uncertainty of tariffs. Nadella also pointed out that with support for the operating system Windows 10 coming to an end in October this year, the deployment of the next generation of Windows 11 among business customers increased by about 75%.

Warcraft national service WLK new helicopter, to send 245 equipment?
The World of Warcraft National Service announced today the opening hours of the final phase of WLK, and the ICC group book has been officially launched on May 15. In the release of a large number of content about the new phase, players are of course most concerned about the “new super helicopter”. At present, players are very enthusiastic about this new helicopter, and the biggest focus of everyone is: how many equipment and other equipment to send? Which equipment to send? Today we will talk about this matter. Xiao O thinks that there are generally two solutions that are more reliable. Why does the national service want to launch a new helicopter? If you want to know what equipment the new helicopter will send, you need to figure out a question first, that is, “Why does the national service want to push the new helicopter?” Let’s take a look at the old helicopter. Odur has not yet opened, and the homecoming coat of arms can be exchanged for 213 pieces of equipment dropped by 25 people at that time, and even BIS accessories such as Dragon Soul Illustration and Vanishing Curse. Only 226 pieces of equipment from NAXX Tail King, Eternal Eye, and Obsidian Temple of Difficulties are not redeemable. The purpose of this design is to allow players to directly enter the battle of Odur after the ding sign. Let’s take a look at the new helicopter. According to the official statement of the national service, the goal of the new helicopter is to “help the heroes to reach the front line, and the returning warriors can also directly participate in the battle!” That is to say, even if the previous version (Odur, HTOC) has not been played, now as long as you buy a new helicopter, you can invest in the latest version of the content, that is, the new three books, Gamma Dungeon and even the ICC group book. This is very easy to understand, the equipment of the new helicopter will definitely not be bad. How to attract people to buy the new helicopter After the news of the national service came out, many players believed that the new helicopter will give 232 equipment at most, and it is unlikely to give more advanced equipment, and some even said to give 225. The reason they gave is that the new gamma book is only changed to 245, and if the ding number gives 245, then the gamma book is meaningless. In fact, it was not the case. When the Gamma Book was launched in the provincial server, it was not for people to exchange for the 245 equipment of the ordinary TOC, but mainly for the [Death Judgment] jewelry and Audur’s 252 equipment, and at most the Northern Expedition medal. Calamity Stones are not so easy to brush, and the 245 equipment of the TOC has very poor attributes, basically no exchange value. And the national service has raised some ordinary equipment of the TOC to 252, so the purpose of the Gamma Book is to change the jewelry and 252 equipment. Even if the helicopter sends 245, there is actually no big conflict with the Gamma Book. At present, it has reached the final chapter of the WLK nostalgia service, and the national service has decided to launch a new helicopter. It is impossible to simply send some painless equipment. What is the difference between sending 232 and 213? Moreover, in the TOC stage, many players have already stung a large number of accounts. If the new helicopter has no explosive points, then who will go to the ding number? Based on the above analysis, Xiao O believes that there are two plans that should be more reliable. The first plan is to send 10 people HTOC equipment. After opening the HICC, 25 people HTOC will still be able to brush 258 death verdicts, but 10HTOC is basically meaningless. So if the new homecoming coat of arms can be directly exchanged for 10 people HTOC equipment, it is a very good choice. At the same time, it can also be exchanged for ordinary 245-level T9 sets. There are two advantages of this: first, the value of the ding number is reflected, and second, it will not affect the equipment exchanged by the Calamity Stone dropped by Gamma. The second plan was to send the 239 and 245 pieces of equipment dropped by 10-man Audur, and the remaining 232 pieces of equipment. This plan was also acceptable, because once the gamma book came out, no one would fight the beta book, so the equipment exchanged by the 10-man Audur with the essence of Saidrill could be directly added to the exchange list of the new homecoming coat of arms. The equipment attributes of these 239 and 245 pieces of equipment were also very strong, no worse than 245 pieces of equipment. Players wearing some 232 and 10H Audur equipment could basically play 10-man ICC. There was also the most conservative plan, which was to send 232 equipment from 25-man Audur and 10-man TOC, but the value was indeed too low.

Apple foldable iPhone or debut in the second half of 2026, high-end positioning can lead the new trend of the market
Apple foldable iPhone or debut in the second half of 2026, high-end positioning can lead the new trend of the market Apple foldable iPhone or debut in the second half of 2026, high-end positioning can lead the new trend of the market © Global Network [Source: Global Network] [Global Network Technology Comprehensive Report] Recently, rumors about Apple’s foldable iPhone have intensified, and it is reported that this highly anticipated new product will be officially unveiled in the second half of 2026. According to foreign media on April 29, Apple will launch two foldable devices, among which the foldable iPhone with its unique design and high-end positioning, has become the focus of the market. According to industry analysts, Apple’s foldable iPhone will adopt a book-style folding design, equipped with a 7.8-inch crease-free inner screen and a 5.5-inch outer screen, bringing users a new visual experience. Although there are some compromises in the hardware configuration, Face ID may be absent due to thickness restrictions, but Apple still uses stainless steel and titanium alloy materials to ensure the excellent workmanship of the device. In the context of the slowdown in the growth of the foldable device market, Apple’s entry is seen as an important force to boost the market. According to the supply chain consulting firm, Apple’s foldable iPhone is expected to bring new vitality to this market and attract more consumer attention. However, its high-end positioning has also caused controversy in the market, and the starting price of $2,100 to $2,300 has deterred many consumers.

In the current market environment, Chrome updates have undoubtedly put pressure on its competitors. Although browsers such as Firefox, Edge, and Safari are also evolving, Chrome still lead the industry with a deep user base and continuous technological innovation. Firefox’s open-source feature has attracted some users who pursue individuality and privacy. Edge is also rapidly emerging with its deep integration with Windows systems. Safari has won loyal fans for its seamless integration with Apple’s ecosystem. However, Chrome comprehensive optimization has further consolidated its market share in user experience.
