Microsoft Edge is adding a new feature that will allow its Copilot AI chatbot to gather information from all of your open tabs. When you start a conversation with Copilot, you can ask the chatbot questions about what's in your tabs, compare the products you're looking at, summarize your open articles, and more.In its announcement, Microsoft says you can "select which experiences you want or leave off the ones you don't." The company is retiring Copilot Mode as well, which could similarly draw information from your tabs but offered some agentic features, like the ability to book a reservation on your behalf. Microsoft has since folded these …Read the full story at The Verge.

Browsing files on Windows 11 has never been the most pleasant experience, but it gets the job done about as well as you'd expect. Things work and your files are where you'd expect them to be. But for all the talk of AI in Windows, file management has never been particularly smart.

If you're anything like me, you've probably got a long list of videos and YouTube saves that you've been wanting to get back to but haven't had the time to just yet. For me, most of these videos live inside YouTube's watch later playlist. Sometimes I even send them to a notes app or save them on Notion. Elsewhere, there are podcast episodes that my friends shared with me, buried in old WhatsApp messages. It could be a long interview I was hoping to catch to get up to speed on the latest political developments, or a lecture on the latest developments in LLMs.

It's been a wild few days for Chromebook fans.

Just when you thought Google Chrome couldn't get more resource-intensive and invasive, it has quietly downloaded a massive AI-related file on systems running the browser. This includes both Windows and macOS, and the worst part, users were never asked for it, nor were they even notified.

I've met people with every reason imaginable to dive into the 3D printing hobby, and it typically stems from a good reason and the need for custom plastic things or a genuine frustration built up over years of buying tiny, overpriced accessories. Once you get a printer, you aren't forced to buy a grocery chain's dozen-pack of bag clips just because you only needed a couple. These become simple, hour-long prints that serve you well, and replacements are easier, too, because you just replace the broken part instead of the whole item.

It has been pretty confusing keeping track of what you can and can't use with your Claude subscription right now. Anthropic tried removing Claude Code from new Pro tier subscribers as part of an A/B test, and then we caught wind about the company potentially locking Opus behind a minor paywall, which ended up being just some unupdated documentation.

The Trump administration is fighting for the right to keep some social media moderation advocates out of the US. On Wednesday, US District Court Judge James Boasberg heard arguments in a lawsuit between the nonprofit Coalition for Independent Technology Research (CITR) and Secretary of State Marco Rubio and other Trump administration officials. The suit concerns a policy that allows restricting visas to foreign officials who "demand that American tech platforms adopt global content moderation policies." The CITR is arguing for a preliminary injunction blocking the policy, which the State Department already referenced when it sanctioned fiv …Read the full story at The Verge.

For the first time, AMD is including its 3D V-Cache tech in its commercial workstation processors with a refreshed line of Ryzen PRO 9000 series chips. Up until now, AMD's 3D V-Cache chips have mainly been geared toward gamers, but they've also gotten better at creative tasks over recent years. In our review of the Ryzen 9 9950X3D last year, Tom Warren crowned it "the best CPU for both gaming and creator tasks," noting that it "greatly improves creator workloads" compared to the Ryzen 7 9800X3D. According to AMD, the 3D V-Cache tech will be useful for "complex, data-intensive workloads such as simulation, rendering and real-time visualizat …Read the full story at The Verge.
