A new tool called GhostLocker is turning heads in the cybersecurity world — not because it exploits a bug, but because it cleverly uses a legitimate Windows security feature to silently cripple Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) tools.

Microsoft is quietly working on one of its most ambitious software engineering shifts yet: reducing, and eventually eliminating, its reliance on C and C++ across its massive codebase by 2030.

Artificial Intelligence is going to play a big role in making this happen.

As another whirlwind year comes to a close, we at Lemon Web Solutions wanted to take a moment to slow down, breathe in the festive spirit, and say something simple yet meaningful: Happy Christmas 2025. This season is always special, but this year feels even more meaningful as we look back at everything we've built, shared, improved, broken, fixed, redesigned, tested, and laughed about together.

For many of us, browser extensions are simply helpful add-ons. We install them to make browsing easier, to boost productivity, or to get features the browser doesn't provide by default.

 If you have ever opened Task Manager only to see your disk usage slam to 100 percent, your heart probably stopped for a second. Then you scroll down and see one familiar name hogging resources: Windows Search Indexer. Suddenly, you start wondering whether your PC is dying, your SSD is failing, or if Microsoft just wants to see you suffer.

Stick RPG is one of the most iconic browser-based RPGs of the Flash era, remembered for its freedom, dark humor, and unexpectedly deep life simulation mechanics. Beneath its simple stick-figure presentation lies a game that gives players almost complete control over how their character lives, succeeds, or completely self-destructs.

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past is widely regarded as the game that defined what a Zelda adventure truly is. Released on the Super Nintendo, it refined the ideas of the original NES titles and established a formula that the series would follow for decades.

The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap stands as one of the most charming and inventive entries in the Zelda series.

Ultimate 8 Ball is a classic PlayStation billiards title that focuses entirely on precision, patience, and authentic pool mechanics.
