Are you in the mood for a good co-op game? Trick question, there's always room for more co-op games. Gaming is always a ton more fun when it's with friends, and it's even better when the game is well-made.

Microsoft is updating its Copilot app on Windows to allow it to create documents from a chat session and connect to Gmail and Outlook accounts. The updated Copilot app is rolling out initially to all Windows Insiders, ahead of a general release to all Windows 11 users.Copilot on Windows can now create Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, PowerPoint presentations, and PDFs all from the chat interface. “With just a prompt, you can instantly turn ideas, notes, and data into shareable and editable documents with no extra steps or tools required,” explains Microsoft’s Copilot team. “And for responses with 600 characters or more, Copilot also includes a default export button that lets you send text directly to Word, PowerPoint, Excel, or PDF.”You’ll also be able to link Copilot to Outlook or Gmail accounts, so the AI assistant can surface content from your online accounts. You could then ask Copilot to find all invoices from a company in your inbox, or pull up the email address for a contact. This is an opt-in feature and you’ll have to explicitly link an Outlook or Google account in the connectors section of the app. You can connect OneDrive, Outlook, Google Drive, Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Contacts. It’s similar to the Google Drive and Dropbox integration that OpenAI launched in ChatGPT earlier this year.The updated Copilot app on Windows arrives ahead of a new OneDrive app that Microsoft is set to release next year. The overhauled OneDrive Windows app will include a new gallery view, AI-powered slideshows, and editing features.

Microsoft wants to make its mark on the handheld scene; the only problem is that the competition is pretty fierce. Even if you ignore the tons of handheld consoles that were released in the past few years, the Steam Deck still puts up a decent fight despite being the pioneer in the scene. People are also noticing that SteamOS runs their games better than Windows 11. With Valve's operating system set for a general release, Microsoft runs the risk of losing market share as users switch over to SteamOS instead, especially if the latter version costs less.

There comes a time in every PC's life when things begin to feel slow. Everything takes a little longer to load, the FPS is lower than it used to be, it runs a little warmer and is just that extra bit louder. Nothing is non-functional, but it's missing that sheen it once had. Novelty wears off, sure, but you don't have to accept degrading performance. Here's five often overlooked upgrades to breathe life back into your aging rig.

It has finally happened — Forza Horizon is coming to Japan. The Land of the Rising Sun has been one of the most-requested locations for a new Horizon game for years now, and at the 2025 Tokyo Games Show, Microsoft finally announced Japan as the next location in the Horizon series, with the game set to come out some time in 2026.

Apple's M-series chips have dominated the efficiency conversation for years, and have legitimized Arm as a computing platform in a way no other manufacturer has. Ever since the first M1 showed just how far Arm-based silicon could go in a laptop, Intel's CPUs have been playing catch-up. With Lunar Lake, Intel finally seems to be closing that gap... though not entirely.

You know, I don't think people are scared enough of asteroids. When we think of doomsday scenarios, we usually think of zombies, aliens, or natural disasters, but we don't often consider the very real chance that a flying piece of space debris will smack into us and cause widespread destruction. I mean, if it did in the dinosaurs, it'd take us out for sure.

If you check out the feature listings on the Microsoft 365 Roadmap page, you'll notice that many of those functionalities are related to AI. And that's one of the major complaints about Microsoft 365 apps: that the Redmond tech giant is making updates mostly about AI and bug fixes, while not being fast enough to fix what those apps lack. Microsoft OneNote faces the same criticism.

Last month, I made the switch to an OLED monitor, grabbing an attractive deal on the Alienware AW3423DWF. The 34" ultrawide OLED display is miles better than my previous 27" flat IPS monitor, but I didn't sell my old monitor. I continue to use it in my workspace for efficient multitasking and as a vertical monitor for specific use cases. I never realized how much a portrait monitor can add to my daily usage, especially when using programs more suited to it. Now that I've experienced it, I don't think I can ever do without one.

A Minecraft Movie is getting a sequel, and according to a post on X, the new film will debut in theaters on July 23rd, 2027. Jared Hess, who directed the first film, is returning for the second, Deadline reports, but Warner Bros. Discovery hasn’t yet said who from the first film’s cast might return. Building terrain.

Discovery has already started work on a sequel, though will it have another viral Chicken Jockey moment?Nintendo is also gearing up to release a sequel to its big video game box office hit: The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is coming to theaters on April 3rd, 2026.

Halloween is the perfect excuse to mix creativity with tech tinkering. With a Raspberry Pi, a few inexpensive parts, and some imagination, you can bring spooky fun to life right at home. Whether you want to haunt your neighbors with lights and sound or simply add a festive touch to your smart home setup, these projects are simple enough for a weekend build yet impressive enough to turn heads.

Container runtimes often lie at the heart of many self-hosting setups, as they’re responsible for deploying FOSS services inside lightweight, isolated, and portable environments. But if you’re a part of the home lab ecosystem, you’ll probably know that they are far from the only tools at your disposal. And I don’t just mean regular applications, either.
