The criticism of Microsoft’s Copilot+ AI PC recall feature was swift and harsh. It’s meant to let you search for what you’ve ever done on your PC, but it also requires you to constantly take screenshots of your PC, and critics say the information isn’t stored securely. I noticed. Microsoft ended up delaying the rollout to Windows Insider beta testers and announced stricter security measures in June. Recall is now opt-in by default. Windows Hello biometric authentication is required. and encrypt the screenshot database.Today, ahead of the upcoming big Windows 11 announcement in November, Microsoft revealed details about Recall’s security…

After the cancellation of the last two titles, Blizzard is once again entering the StarCraft shooter. This information comes from an upcoming book on the developer by gaming journalist Jason Schreier, and was also discussed on a recent IGN podcast.This time, veteran developer Dan Hay is leading the effort to turn the StarCraft world into a shooter.

Fujifilm’s original GFX100S was a popular alternative to the GFX100 because it offered comparable image quality in a slimmer body at a much lower price. However, there were some drawbacks.

Similarly, the company recently released the $5,000 GFX100S II as a smaller, cheaper alternative to its $7,500 flagship GFX100 II. It looks almost the same as before, but the sensor, processor, autofocus, etc. have been updated.Both cameras are clearly aimed at professionals, but is the GFX100 II worth the extra $2,500, or will the S model be enough for…

The last time I spoke with artist Caitlin Doe, she said she was working on an autobiographical comic book about culture shock diaspora. About coming to America while being Asian, and what it was like for a kid from China to be thrown into an American public elementary school without knowing how to speak English or make friends. Well, Du and I spoke a few weeks ago and sure enough, that cartoon now exists in the real world. It’s called JIALIN’S WORLD and showcases some of the artist’s most distinctive styles. We spoke to Mr. Do about the creation of…
As Google rolls out its Gemini side panel for Gmail and other Workspace apps, it reveals that its generative AI chatbot will also be able to provide contextual smart replies to email services in the future. I did. Now, the company has officially released the feature. Smart Reply has been in Gmail since 2017 and provides a quick, albeit impersonal, way to reply to messages when you’re in a hurry or on the go. However, the responses these machines generate are quite limited and are often just one sentence to let the recipient know that they understand what they are…
