|
The company was forced to rethink its AI-powered automatic screenshot-taking search feature due to security concerns |
Microsoft has announced that its delayed Copilot+ feature, Recall, will be ready for Windows Insiders testing in October. Microsoft unveiled the feature in June, but it quickly came under fire from privacy advocates, causing the computer giant to delay its wider release.

Google Pixel 9 Pro XL review: a huge success
|
Big and expensive smartphone is 'one of the best I've used this year’ |
Digital Trends has gone hands-on with Google’s new Pixel 9 Pro XL and found it a joy to use. On the positive side, the handset has an outstanding 6.8-inch display, 16GB of RAM, excellent camera technology, helpful AI tools, improved battery life, and seven — yes, seven — years of updates. But the negatives include a messy Pixel Studio, slow charging speeds, and its hefty $1,099 price tag. Digital Trends gives it 4.5 out of 5, holding back from a perfect score because of its high price while noting that the non-XL Pixel 9 Pro includes all the same features and specs, with a more compact 6.3-inch display and a smaller battery for $100 less ... |
