When Microsoft announced Copilot+, a lot of its proposed features caused some buzz on the internet. However, out of all of the new AI-powered tools we were shown, the Recall feature saw the most conversation.

The LG G3 turned 10 last week. I concede it's an odd anniversary to celebrate, because the phone, while a success for LG, never reached mainstream popularity worldwide the way iPhones or even some Samsung phones have, and I doubt that anyone is actually out in the real world still daily driving an LG G3 today. Heck, LG itself has been entirely out of the mobile scene for four years now.

You have an iPhone and you have a Mac computer. Did you know you can set it up so that you receive messages on your Mac that are sent to your iPhone? Its a handy feature, particularly if you participate in ongoing group chats and dont want to disrupt your workday by constantly picking up your phone to reply. You can read and respond to messages right from your laptop or desktop computer. Its possible to do this not only with iMessages but incoming text messages as well.

When browsing the internet, you will often see ads or other messages pop up on your browser, perhaps as smaller windows or new tabs. These can be legitimate, such as discount offers on shopping sites or informational messages, but pop-ups can also be used for scams and phishing attempts to get you to download malware. Some users prefer to remove the distraction by blocking pop-ups altogether, but you may want to re-enable them if you need to access a specific offer or form.

Apple is not expected to make any hardware-related announcements at its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2024, according to a report. The developer event is set to kick off on June 10 where the next iteration of iOS, iPadOS, and other Apple software is tipped to be showcased.

Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge The leaked lineup for last week’s PlayStation State of Play surfaced shortly after the event was scheduled on YouTube. This has added to concerns over the kind of access Google employees have to videos before they go live, an issue highlighted in recent reports from Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson and 404 Media.One incident, as noted by Henderson, occurred in 2022 when KSI attempted to give away over $10,000 in Amazon gift cards. However, KSI later realized that all of the gift card codes had been redeemed before the video was posted, sparking an internal investigation at YouTube. The company reportedly started a similar investigation after the trailer for GTA VI leaked, but it’s not clear whether it’s related.All of this ties into what... Continue reading…

If you have Microsoft Copilot on your Windows PC and you find it more annoying than useful, it's very easy to disable. Microsoft hasn't quite integrated Copilot into the broader PC experience just yet (although that may change with Windows 12) so we haven't seen its full manifestation. But if you don't like it, you can turn it off in just a few simple steps.
