Twitter for Windows 10 now supports Fleets, nudges, and more
Twitter’s progressive web app (PWA) recently received an update that brings several new features. Twitter’s PWA powers Twitter for Windows, Twitter for KaiOS, Twitter Lite on Android, and mobile.twitter.com, all of which now have the latest update. The update brings support for Fleets, nudges, and a new page for browsing topics.
Here’s everything that’s new, as found in Twitter’s release notes:
- Fleets: We’ve enabled DM Fleet previews and the Fleet viewer screen for all.
- Nudges: When Retweeting a Tweet that contains a link to an article, you’ll now be shown a nudge prompting you to think about reading the article before you share.
- Topics: There’s a new page for browsing and picking Topics. You can find it by going to the Topics screen via the More menu, and clicking “More Topics”. You can also navigate there directly via twitter.com/i/topics/picker.
- Topics: We’re experimenting with showing Topics to follow in the sidebar on widescreen views to give you more examples of Topics you may be interested in.
In addition to the new features, the update also improves several areas of the app:
- Accessibility: Voiceover will now read out labels for government and state-affiliated media when focusing a Tweet that includes these labels.
- Accessibility: Improved focus navigation and voiceover when navigating into a Tweet within a conversation.
- Accessibility: Corrected accessibility markup on Buttons that act as links to other pages, or reposition you on the current page.
- Account: Improved readability of error messages on the account login page.
- DM: Improved dynamic display for larger numbers of avatars in the DM conversation information section for group conversations.
- Emoji: Updated emoji to Twemoji 13.0.2. Visual coverage of the changes can be found at Emojipedia, and more specific information can be found at GitHub.
- Lists: Added screen name to the add/remove from Lists menu action for additional context.
- Notifications: Increased the number of avatars that are shown for condensed notifications on the notification screen.
- Nudges: Improved the look and feel of article nudges shown at various screen sizes when Retweeting a Tweet with a link to an article.
The update allows people to take advantage of Twitter’s newest features across several platforms. The update started rolling out yesterday, so you should see it soon if you haven’t received it yet.

Review: Razer Laptop Stand Chroma V2 brings flair to your Razer PC
Razer’s revised (and premium) Laptop Stand Chroma V2 for 2021 is a killer accessory with flashy lighting, extra ports, and it supports dual-display output. While the stand quality is excellent and makes sense for the Razer purist, the $150 price tag and lack of adjustable height may be off-putting for non-converts.
The amount of ‘good’ all-in-ones from PC makers is lacking in 2021
I love the all-in-one form factor, but the all-in-one market for Windows 10 PCs just isn’t great. There was a brief period of great PC all-in-ones from HP, Dell, and Lenovo in 2017 and 2018, but many of those products haven’t been updated and aren’t even sold anymore. Where did they go?
