Microsoft is a crazy thing to name your company

Imagine pre-ordering the same phone as last year but with an extra button now

Microsoft is scrapping plans to roll out a "new look and feel" for Edge on Windows. First unveiled last year, the new design would have introduced rounded tabs and more blur effects. DETAILS: windowscentral.com/software-apps/… #MicrosoftEdge #Windows11

A Microsoft forum post may have just revealed the release date for Windows 11 24H2 as October 8. DETAILS: windowscentral.com/software-apps/… #Windows11

Microsoft has updated the forum post clarifying that the dates mentioned do not pertain to the availability of Windows 11 version 24H2 lol

SERIOUSLY! I've grown to hate these fancy Microsoft design videos because they literally never look like the final product. It's almost false advertising lol

Microsoft is finally going to let you change what the dedicated Copilot key does on Windows 11 PCs. You'll be able to swap out Windows Copilot for any MSIX packaged app. DETAILS: windowscentral.com/software-apps/… #Windows11 #Copilot

Qualcomm wants to buy Intel, apparently. I can't see it happening, if only because regulatory bodies would have a heart attack. But man, if it did happen, that would be HUGE. DETAILS: windowscentral.com/hardware/compu… #Intel #Qualcomm

This one hurts.

feeling sad about there not being a surface duo 3

Now that I have Snapdragon Dev Kit running Windows: Geekbench 6.3.0: 3020 single / 15969 multi (at about 80W max power) Cinebench 2024: 131 single / 1227 multi (at 99-102W max power) browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/8010211 (about on par with M3 Pro—a smidge slower, uses a bit more power)

Microsoft has announced some BIG changes to Recall in the name of security. It will now store snapshot data in an encrypted VBS Enclave, automatically filter out sensitive info like passwords from being stored at all, and much more! DETAILS: windowscentral.com/software-apps/… #Windows11

A few weeks ago, Microsoft issued a statement claiming the ability to uninstall Recall was just a bug. Turns out, that was wrong. The company has today confirmed that Recall can be uninstalled if you don't want it. DETAILS: windowscentral.com/software-apps/… #Windows11

Do the security improvements coming to Windows Recall make you want to try it out?

And in typical fashion, Microsoft has already abandoned its Windows XR platform lol

Do you use any AI technology in your daily life/workflow on a PC?
