Players of Microsoft Flight Simulator are requesting a time machine feature that would allow them to revisit historical weather events and famous flights. The game's developer, Asobo Studio, built the simulation using raw data such as satellite imagery and real-world weather information. While the idea of historical weather is something the team has considered, the necessary data does not currently exist. However, the head of Microsoft Flight Simulator, Jorg Neumann, has not ruled out the possibility in the future, stating that the game will continue to evolve and they may figure it out at some point. The latest update for the game, focused on flight mechanics, is now available.

DeLorean enthusiasts from DeLorean Nation on YouTube have purchased the vehicle and plan to restore it, bringing this time machine back to life.
Deleting large files or folders on a Mac may not immediately free up storage space, as macOS takes some time to realize that the space is available. In an edge case scenario, a user who deleted a 1.4TB folder found that the storage space did not immediately become available. After trying various troubleshooting steps, the problem was eventually resolved simply by waiting. So, if you find yourself in a similar situation, recovering Mac storage may just require patience and a cup of tea.
The latest Windows 11 Insider Preview includes a new Backup App that functions similarly to Time Machine in macOS, allowing for more regular backups of most apps, settings, and data in Windows 11. The system features that will generally be backed up include stock applications, documents, photos, files, passwords, and basic settings, in addition to Start Menu and Taskbar configurations. The feature works primarily with cloud storage backups, for which Microsoft offers 5GB of free OneDrive storage.
