Microsoft is experimenting with a new Windows 11 feature that would let AI assistants access individual app windows directly from the taskbar. The feature, labeled “Share any window from my taskbar with virtual assistant,” allows users to share a specific open window with an AI tool—such as Microsoft Copilot—without launching a traditional screen-sharing session. It was first discovered in preview builds by Windows data miner @phantomofearth. Instead of sharing the entire desktop, users can grant access to a single app window straight from the taskbar interface. Once shared, the AI assistant can read visible content within that window, summarize information,…

Built-in laptop webcams often fall short in image quality, lighting balance, and audio clarity. For anyone looking to upgrade their video calls or streaming setup, the Emeet Pixy is currently discounted to $95 on Amazon, down from its regular $160 price—a 41 percent reduction. The Pixy is a dual-camera 4K webcam designed to improve both image sharpness and exposure control. In addition to its primary 4K sensor, it includes a secondary AI-assisted camera that helps optimize autofocus and lighting adjustments, aiming to deliver a more natural look in varying conditions. One of its standout features is intelligent tracking. The webcam…

Keeping devices charged in the car has become a daily necessity, whether it’s a phone, tablet, or a pair of wireless earbuds.

The charger plugs into a standard 12V auxiliary power outlet and offers far more speed than typical car adapters. Its standout feature is a built-in retractable USB-C cable that delivers up to 75W of total…

Microsoft has changed how password protection works in its browser. With the latest update to Microsoft Edge version 145, the company has removed the ability to create new master passwords for the built-in password manager. According to reports, users can no longer set up a master password to protect stored credentials. Those who already have one enabled won’t lose access immediately, but Microsoft says existing master passwords will only continue working for a limited time. The company plans to fully retire master password support on June 4, 2026. After that date, access to saved passwords in Edge will require device-level…

Microsoft has published a list of what it considers the best productivity apps for Windows—and the top pick has sparked debate. Sitting at number one is Copilot, the company’s AI assistant designed to answer questions, summarize emails, and assist with organization and planning. The ranking has raised eyebrows among Windows users who see it less as an objective recommendation and more as a promotional push. Copilot has faced criticism over reliability and usefulness, particularly around features like reminders and workflow assistance. While Microsoft continues to expand Copilot’s integration across Windows and Microsoft 365, adoption figures have reportedly remained modest compared…

The next major Linux kernel version, Linux 7.0, is now available in release candidate form—but despite the big version number, the update is more incremental than revolutionary. Lead developer Linus Torvalds confirmed that the jump to version 7.0 does not signal a dramatic overhaul. In announcing the 7.0-rc1 release, Torvalds joked that the new number reflects his own confusion with large version figures rather than any major shift in direction. According to him, the release represents steady progress rather than a sweeping set of new features or the removal of old interfaces. As with most kernel updates, the bulk of…

Users who connected their flat-rate Claude or Gemini subscriptions to the viral AI agent OpenClaw via OAuth are now facing account bans from both Anthropic and Google. Reports have surfaced of users losing access to their paid AI plans—often without warning—after authenticating OpenClaw using their Claude or Google OAuth credentials. While core Google services like Gmail and Drive generally remain unaffected, access to premium AI subscriptions has been revoked in many cases, with little clarity on refunds or reinstatement. The controversy centers on how OpenClaw users authenticated their accounts. OAuth—commonly used for “Sign in with Google” style logins—was leveraged to…

Microsoft has drawn criticism after a developer blog post appeared to reference pirated copies of the Harry Potter novels as training data for an Azure-based AI demo, raising fresh concerns about how copyrighted material is used in generative AI workflows. The post, written by a Microsoft product manager, described using a Kaggle dataset containing text files of the entire Harry Potter series as part of a tutorial on building AI-powered apps with Azure. The dataset—later removed—was reportedly labeled “public domain,” despite the books being fully protected by copyright. The guide suggested the text could be used for tasks such as…

Smart lighting upgrades don’t have to be complicated—or expensive. The Govee Ceiling Light Pro is currently on sale for $110, making it a compelling option for anyone looking to improve home office lighting with a connected, customizable ceiling fixture. The 15-inch smart ceiling light delivers up to 4,300 lumens of brightness, enough to comfortably illuminate rooms up to roughly 270 square feet. That makes it particularly suitable for work-from-home setups, bedrooms, and medium-sized living spaces. Larger rooms can still benefit by pairing it with additional smart lamps or bulbs. One standout feature is its dual-light design. The main panel shines…

YouTube is preparing to test a new AI-powered feature on smart TVs that could change how viewers interact with content. According to reports highlighted by Android Authority, the upcoming “Ask” feature will use Gemini to let users query and control videos directly through voice prompts and on-screen suggestions. The feature will appear as an “Ask” button within the YouTube TV interface. Once activated, viewers can select from prewritten questions or use their TV remote’s microphone to ask custom questions. The tool is designed to help users jump to specific timestamps, clarify what’s happening in a scene, or gather additional information…
