yep we even do Tech news on St Patty's Day A deeply confusing holiday for me a
Canadian with a very Irish sounding name despite my much stronger German ancestry
am I allowed the accent or not moving on Microsoft accidentally uninstalled its
co-pilot chatbot app from many PCs this week thanks to a bug in a number of
recent Windows 10 and 11 updates and after months of dealing with glitches
caused by particularly the Windows 1124 H2 update PC users really needed this I
mean with mistakes this great who needs the fixes you know Microsoft has been
strongly pushing co-pilot in the past couple years constantly prompting users
to try it adding a co-pilot key to Windows laptops and even inexplicably
slapping it on the end of the App Suite formerly known as office which is now
called Microsoft 365 co-pilot very
branding much smooth Microsoft addressed
the bug in support document saying it's aware of the issue but in the meantime
affected users can reinstall the app from the Microsoft store and it's
working on a resolution to address this issue whoops uh let's just get that
reinstalled wait wait wait wait uh actually I'm good no you need this we've
seen the way that you write emails you've seen my emails and there fixed
got to go valve's latest Steam OS
preview build has dropped including in its release notes the tantalizing line
beginnings of support for non steam deck handhelds which is just a gloriously
nonspecific collection of words nobody knows what it means but it's provocative
it gets the Articles going of course it is a sign that valve is getting closer
to releasing a version of Steam OS that can be installed on other handhelds
which the company promised earlier this year for everything else there's bite
bite bite but beyond just handhelds
Steam OS 3.7.0 preview pushes the war against
Windows forward by upgrading from plasma 5.7 to plasma
6.2.5 allowing for a more full-featured
desktop mode we're still quite a ways away from PC Gamers being able to switch
from Windows to Steam OS on mass but we'll get a general install version of
Steam OS eventually although I'm definitely mentally preparing for valve
to pull a valve and just release Steam OS episode 1 and
fresh info about the iPhone 17 air has been dropped by Apple Oracle germatron
Prime AKA Mark German bearer of the Matrix of Germans ship the extra thin
phone will reportedly arrive this fall with a 6.6 in display Apple apparently
prototyped a 6.9 in model to match the
pro Max but we're concerned about starting Bend gate all over again 6.6 in
is much less susceptible to bending good luck with this one Vin Diesel rumors
from other sources corroborate German's prediction of the first foldable iPhone
launching in 2026 and point to the
iPhone 17 air being 5 1 12 mm thin which
according to these dummy versions of the whole lineup make the non-air iPhones
look dummy thick which would mean they look good
which could actually be valid uh be less
susceptible defending don't explain the joke rile just move on move on to our

notified owners of echo devices that they'll no longer have the option to not
send their voice recordings to Amazon servers because now their AI is so
powerful it needs Cloud processing yes

not relevant speaking of better AI people have discovered the recently

like a big man Roku has started injecting an ad on users screens before
their home screen even loads up understandably users were completely
taken aback with one posting on roku's forums that they hope hope this is just
a fluke but Roku told RS Technica nope
