The "Read aloud selection" feature in Edge browser

Image
I love the "Read Aloud" feature in Immersive Reader that also appears as "Read aloud selection" in the context menu when you select text. This feature works not only for content in English but also several other world languages including Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Bengali, Marathi, Urdu. This feature is very beneficial to me while I'm trying to read Indian languages in which I'm not proficient.  One issue that has bothered me is that when I need Read Aloud to switch to a different language (say Telugu) than the last used (English), it cannot detect the language.

Google Summer of Code 2026: Open Food Facts

Image
Google Summer of Code (GSoC) has long been the ultimate launchpad for aspiring developers. As Google’s premier global open-source program, it offers contributors the rare opportunity to work on live open-source software projects alongside some of the world’s most respected and seasoned developer communities. But as open-source engineering continues to take center stage globally, getting a foot in the door has evolved from a difficult challenge into an elite competitive arena.   The scale of this competition was fully on display for the GSoC 2026 cohort. Globally, the program saw a massive influx of 15,245 applicants , all vying for a coveted spot. Out of those thousands of hopefuls, only 1,141 contributors were selected worldwide. This places the global acceptance rate at a razor-thin ~7% , a metric that makes GSoC more selective than many Ivy League institutions.
