Microsoft explains how it’s tackling security and privacy for Recall

The condemnation of Microsoft's Recall feature for Copilot+ AI PCs was swift and damning. While it's meant to let you find anything you've ever done on your PC, it also involves taking constant screenshots of your PC, and critics noticed that information wasn't being stored securely. Microsoft ended up delaying its rollout for Windows Insider beta testers, and in June it announced more stringent security measures: It's making Recall opt-in by default; it will require Windows Hello biometric authentication; and it will encrypt the screenshot database.Today, ahead of the impending launch of the next major Windows 11 launch in November,…

Surface Pro Copilot+ review: The best Surface tablet ever made, no thanks to AI

stp2y0 CommentsNews, , , , , , , ,
It's taken 12 years, but Microsoft has finally made an Arm-powered Surface tablet that I don't want to toss out of a window. The new Surface Pro, one of the company's first Copilot+ AI PCs, is astoundingly fast and power-efficient, thanks to Qualcomm's new Snapdragon X Elite chip. It can run native Arm apps well — but even better, it can also emulate older apps without much fuss. Basically, Microsoft has finally managed to do what Apple did with its M-series chips four years ago: Deliver killer laptops with power-sipping mobile chips.Ironically, though, the Surface Pro's much-hyped AI features are…

If AI is going to take over the world, why can’t it solve the Spelling Bee?

My task for our AI overlords was simple: help me crack the New York Times Spelling Bee.I had spent a large chunk of a Saturday evening trying to shape the letters G, Y, A, L, P, O and N into as many words as possible. But three hours, 141 points and 37 words — including “nonapology”, “lagoon” and “analogy” — later, I had hit a wall. A few more words was all I needed to propel myself into Spelling Bee’s "genius" echelon, the title reserved for those who unscramble 70 percent of all possible words using the given letters, and…
