It’s a clever little tool that mounts OneDrive as a native filesystem on Linux, making your cloud files act like local files without actually syncing them all. onedriver mounts your OneDrive account to a directory (for example, ~/OneDrive ) so you can use your files through your file browser or CLI as if they were on your machine.  It does on-demand download : a file is only fetched from OneDrive the moment you try to open it — you don’t have to wait for everything to sync.  Bidirectional behavior: changes on OneDrive show up locally; write operations locally are reflected remotely.

Amazon Alexa is now accessible on the Microsoft Store.

on
If you're using Windows 10 or 11, you can now get Amazon Alexa from the Microsoft Store. This enables you to utilize the voice assistant on your PC without an Amazon Echo device.


Once installed, Alexa lets you perform various tasks effortlessly. You can play music, set reminders, control smart home devices, and more.


An advantage of having Alexa on your PC is the hands-free operation. Just say "Alexa" followed by your command, and Alexa will respond. This is particularly helpful when you're occupied with typing or in a video call.





Another benefit is enhanced productivity. You can set reminders, schedule appointments, and even make voice calls using Alexa on your PC.


Naturally, using Alexa on your PC has limitations. Some features that require an Amazon Echo device, like Drop In or home announcements, won't be available.
