So it came as no surprise that we got to see some new PC gaming handhelds during Computex. In addition to the new Asus ROG Ally X, we also got to see something completely new and unexpected with the Zotac Zone and MSI Claw 8 AI+.

Windows 10 already got the AI Copilot feature that was originally exclusive to Windows 11, and it may well get other features soon. “To bring new features and more improvements to Windows 10 as needed, we need a place to do active feature development with Windows Insiders,” explains Microsoft’s Windows Insider team in a blog post. “So today, we are opening the Beta Channel for Windows Insiders who are currently on Windows 10.”Microsoft hasn’t revealed what additional Windows 10 features it plans to test next, but Windows Insiders can opt into the...

Tablet computers are becoming impossibly powerful, and this year's new releases prove it. The new iPad Pro is Apple's thinnest device ever smaller in thickness than an iPod Nano and yet it includes the company's most powerful M4 chipset. The just-announced Surface Pro 11 has the Snapdragon X chipset, and that platform is going to give Apple Silicon a run for its money. So, what's holding tablets back? The popular answer is software, and it applies to both the Surface Pro 11 and the iPad Pro. Windows 11 is still lacking in optimization for touchscreens and Arm chips, and iPadOS is, well, iPadOS.

The Dexcom G7 will be able to send real-time blood sugar readings straight to the wrist. | Image: Dexcom Starting today, Dexcom G7 continuous glucose monitor (CGM) users will be able to monitor their real-time blood sugar data straight from an Apple Watch. According to Dexcom’s press release, the Direct to Apple Watch feature was one of the most requested by users.

Meaning, you don’t have to whip out your phone if you want to view your data, nor does your phone have to be on your person. For instance, G7 users will still be able to get real-time data while on a phone-free run / walk or if your phone is charging in a different room. Previously, the G7’s Apple Watch app allowed you to have... Continue reading…

Windows 11 has many features hiding just beneath the surface, many of which have been around for years.

Microsofts Surface Pro lineup finally has a change of heart. After introducing the Surface Pro 10 with Intel Core Ultra CPU (available for business purchase), the popular 2-in-1 device has received the latest Arm CPUs from Qualcomm.

Recently, Microsoft rolled out a brand-new version of Bing powered by OpenAI's GPT-4, and shortly thereafter, the company announced that you can now access Bing directly in Windows 11. That may have you thinking the company has fully integrated Bing into Windows 11, but that's not exactly the case. However, it is easier to access the new Bing experience in Windows 11, and we're here to show you how. Plus, you're not necessarily limited to using Bind through the Edge browser, since it's also built into Skype.

Illustration: The Verge Google launched its note-taking app NotebookLM last year for researchers, students, and anyone who needs to organize the information they’ve gathered. Now, users can now upload Google Slides and web URLs as sources, not just the Google Docs, PDFs, and text files it accepted previously.

Previously, people could only upload five sources. Users can also now ask questions about charts, images, and diagrams they uploaded to the platform because NotebookLM is running...
