Microsoft continues to roll out new test versions of Windows 11 with useful features. Recently, the “jump lists” feature from Windows 10 were reintroduced and now the company has launched the slightly smaller Windows 11 Build 26241 beta, which makes it easier to move files around in Explorer.

With the new feature, you can simply move files around on your computer by dragging them to the address bar or “breadcrumbs” in Explorer. For example, if you are browsing My Computer > Local Disk (C:) > Users > Your Name > Documents, you can simply drag the files to one of the folders in the address bar.

Windows 11 Build 26241 should also fix some small bugs, but the new feature in Explorer is the main novelty of the new beta. Build 26241 has also started rolling out to members of Microsoft’s Windows Insider program.

We’ve probably all encountered the infamous 404 error message at some point during our browsing. Maybe you were looking for some old forum you used to hang out on or some other handy website, but came across a dead link. They say everything on the internet lasts forever, but new research from the Pew Research Center shows that’s not quite the case.

According to the research, 38 percent of web pages that existed in 2013 were inaccessible in October 2023. Nearly a quarter of all news articles on the web, 23 percent, contain at least one dead link, whether it’s a high or low-traffic site. In the case of US government websites, 21 percent of pages have at least one dead link.

Dead links are also evident on the internet’s own encyclopedia, Wikipedia. 54 percent of Wikipedia pages have at least one dead link in their reference lists.

The loss of information is also evident on social media. Nearly a fifth of all posts on Twitter, or X as the platform is now called, were inaccessible just months after they were posted. In 60 percent of cases, the account that posted the post had been made private, suspended or deleted altogether from the social media platform.

Posts in certain languages are taken down much more often than average. Nearly half, 49 percent, of all X posts made in Turkish, as well as 42 percent of posts in Arabic, were inaccessible just three months later.

Technology giant Microsoft recently released its sustainability report for the 2023 financial year, and it didn’t exactly have positive numbers. Microsoft set a climate goal in 2020 to become carbon negative by 2030, sequestering more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere than it emits, but the company seems to be on the wrong track to achieve this goal. Microsoft’s greenhouse gas emissions increased by 30 percent in the 2023 financial year — and it’s all Copilot’s fault.

The big culprit is the company’s huge AI investments. It takes huge amounts of energy to train and use AI models. The International Energy Agency expects energy consumption for data centers worldwide to increase from 460 TWh in 2022 to between 620 and 1,050 TWh by 2026, due to AI and cryptocurrency use. For context, Sweden’s total energy consumption in 2022 was approximately 508 TWh.

Microsoft CEO Brad Smith confirmed in an interview with Bloomberg that the previous climate goals are now much harder to reach, precisely because of AI.

“In 2020, we unveiled our ambitious carbon target. That was before the explosion in artificial intelligence. In many ways, we are now five times further away from reaching them than we were in 2020, if you just think about our own forecast for the expansion of AI and its electricity needs,” Smith said.

In the latest publicly available version of Microsoft Edge, version 124.0.2478.80, a new tool has appeared in the browser’s toolbox. You can now measure your internet speed directly in the browser toolbox.

To access the toolbox in Edge, you need to click on the plus sign in the rightmost column of the browser. Then you can type “Tools” in the search bar and click on the small icon. The browser toolbox with the new internet speed test should appear.

The toolbox is a pretty useful little feature in Edge, it also includes a calculator, a unit converter, a translation function, a timer and a random number generator. Nifty little touches like this are part of the reason why it’s worth considering switching from Chrome to Edge.

Version 124.0.2478.80 was a relatively minor update to Microsoft Edge. Apart from the internet speed test, it only contains some bug fixes and new security updates.

Open AI has announced via a post on X that its chatbot Chat GPT now has a new feature to help users with visual impairments. In the chatbot’s Android and iOS apps, Chat GPT can now read out its responses to you. Simply tap on a message from the chatbot and select “Read Aloud.”

The Verge reports that the feature supports a total of 37 different languages.

You can use “Read Aloud” in the Chat GPT apps both as a free user with the large major language model GPT-3.5, or as a paid subscriber with access to GPT-4.

Google has revealed some new improvements in the latest update to its cloud service Google Drive. The playback of video files in your Drive will be faster, and it will be easier to sort and find all your files in the cloud.

Thanks to new transcoding in Google Drive, the transfer capacity can be adjusted to give you higher or lower resolution depending on your connection speed. With the update, video playback should also start faster from the moment you hit the Play button, and it shouldn’t buffer as often. So far, these improvements only apply to new video files uploaded to Google Drive since the launch of the update, but Google promises that all video files in Drive will benefit from the update before the end of the year.

The update also improved search functions in Google Drive. You should now be able to sort by file type, owner, and when the file was last modified. Once you get the search results, you can refine your filtering. Google Drive will also automatically suggest filters when you search to save you time.

The new search features are currently available on Google Drive for iOS, and for Google Workspace customers. Google does not yet know when the features will be launched for Android users.

Google is testing a new security feature that hides your IP address in the beta version of the Chrome browser, MSPowerUser reports. The feature is simply called “IP Protection” and will basically do what the name suggests, protect your IP address.

The new feature will hide your IP address when you’re logged into Google Chrome, limit what data suspected trackers can see about your online habits, and redirect some content requests through privacy servers instead of sending them directly to websites. It’s shouldn’t be anywhere near as effective as using a VPN, but IP Protection could be a very welcome feature for privacy enthusiasts indeed.

The IP Protection feature is so far only available on the early Canary preview version of Google Chrome. When it will be launched on the regular version of the browser is not yet clear.

There seems to be a fresh requirement to run Microsoft’s free new Outlook app for Windows 10 and 11. According to MSPowerUser, you need to have Microsoft’s Edge browser installed and running in order to access your emails in Outlook. The new requirement was discovered by users on the online forum Reddit, where they posted images of the error message saying that the new version of Outlook requires you to have Edge installed.

The crux of the matter seems to be that Outlook uses Microsoft Edge Webview 2 for certain web functions. Most people will have Edge installed as part of the default Windows setup, but you may need to reinstall it if you’ve chosen to delete Edge previously.

In addition to the requirement to have Microsoft’s own browser installed, Outlook has also gained some new AI features. You will soon be able to use the chatbot Copilot to book meetings directly from email threads in Outlook. Copilot will be able to create invitations with a suitable name for the meeting, an agenda, a summary of the email thread on which the meeting is based, and a list of participants.

The “Schedule with Copilot” feature will be launched as part of Microsoft’s Preview program in March, with the real public launch will be in May. However, you will need to be a Microsoft 365 subscriber to use the new AI feature.

After almost nine years of development, Helldivers 2 is finally here. Before this week’s launch of the game, we got to visit the developers Arrowhead Game Studios office in Stockholm, Sweden to get a first look at Helldivers 2 and talk to the developers.

Now you might be wondering what Helldivers 2 is? As the developers themselves put it, it’s a chaotic action game set in a somewhat dystopian future, inspired by works like Starship Troopers, taking on the role of one of the titular Helldivers. Your task is to spread Super-Earth’s own version of democracy to planets around the galaxy, which you do by killing lots of evil aliens and robots.

If you’re more familiar with the first Helldivers, you’ll immediately notice a big difference in Helldivers 2. The camera perspective has changed; you no longer control your soldier from a top-down perspective, instead it’s a third-person view.

Arrowhead Game Studios

The new perspective helps to increase the chaotic nature of the battles in the game. Arrowhead’s games have been known to “accidentally” shoot your fellow players. In previous titles it was pretty easy to see what happened, but now you’ll have a harder time knowing if it was the enemies that killed you, or if you happened to run in front of your mate’s gun muzzle.

The chaos of the game’s battles is really fun to try and navigate through, and the support you can call in from orbiting battleships adds to that. You can order artillery fire on a bunch of enemies, you just have to be careful not to get too close to the fire yourself. This can result in some pretty hilarious accidents. We were told by the developers how one player tried to call in artillery, but was accidentally shot in the arm and dropped the smoke grenade that marked the firing in the middle of the rest of the players. You should be prepared to experience similar accidents yourself (or be guilty of them).

The battleships in space are also your home base, where you can change the look of your helldiver, upgrade and unlock new weapons, and plan your battles in the galaxy. The game’s map of the galaxy is divided into different sectors, all players around the world will contribute to the war against the aliens and robots, the progress of the battles will be shown on the map.

Arrowhead has its own game manager who can, among other things, set goals and issue orders to the gathered players. In a given week, the goal may be to take over a planet or sector; if the players manage to cooperate and do so, new weapons are unlocked.

The game master should also be able to control other narrative parts of the game. Maybe there is a shortage of ammunition in the fleet; the players will then start the missions with fewer shots in the weapons. Or maybe there is a big sandstorm right where you should land for the next mission. In our short time with the game so far, however, we haven’t seen too much of those features.

Helldivers 2 is really impressive so far, but a more detailed test of the game will come later, after we’ve had plenty of time to play with its online capabilities.

Interview with the developers

In the video above you meet Mikael Eriksson, Game Director and Felix Fritzell, Art Director from Arrowhead Game Studios who both worked on Helldivers 2.

New drivers for Intel’s Arc GPUs, unifying previously separate drivers for desktop Arc graphics cards and the Arc GPU integrated into new Core Ultra laptop processors, have led to significant performance increases for a range of DirectX 11 and DirectX 12 games.

Intel Arc A750 Limited Edition

Read our review

The average performance increase for Intel’s Arc A-series graphics cards is 37.4 percent across a wide range of (mostly DX11) games, but for some titles the figure is much higher. In the game Just Cause 4, with the new drivers, you should see a 268 percent increase in frames per second with “Very High” graphics settings and 1080p resolution.

Here are the complete list of improvements, as provided by Intel, for Arc desktop GPUs:

• Albion Online (DX11)
  • Up to 11% average FPS uplift at 1080p with Ultra settings
• Anno 1800 (DX11)
  • Up to 33% average FPS uplift at 1080p with Ultra High settings
• Apex Legends (DX11)
  • Up to 26% average FPS uplift at 1080p with Ultra settings
• Assassin’s Creed Syndicate (DX11)
  • Up to 13% average FPS uplift at 1080p with Ultra High settings
• Black Desert Online (DX11)

  • Up to 16% average FPS uplift at 1080p with Ultra settings
• XCOM 2 (DX11)
  • Up to 4% average FPS uplift at 1080p with Maximum settings

The improvements are not as impressive for Intel Core Ultra processors with Intel’s Arc integrated graphics. As an example, with the graphics settings “Very Low” and 1080p resolution in the game The Last of Us Part 1, you should only see a 6 per cent increase in frames per second.

CES (aka Consumer Technology Association), which is held in Las Vegas every January, is a week away. That said, LG has chosen to showcase the 2024 models in its gram laptop series right now. In addition to newer models of the old range, the South Korean company is also introducing a new gram Pro model. All the computers will have access to AI functions in the LG gram Link app and the Pro models also have extra support via Intel’s neuron processor Intel AI Boost.

You will be able to choose between equipping the LG Gram Pro with either Intel’s integrated Arc graphics card or a dedicated Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 GPU. The computers support up to 32GB of memory, with storage options of 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB.

The LG Gram Pro 2-in-1 is the laptop/tablet option. It’s only available with a 16-inch screen and shares pretty much all specifications with the regular 16-inch LG Gram Pro, including the ability to choose between screens with different resolutions. However, the LG Gram Pro 2-in-1 laptop only has the integrated Intel Arc as a graphics card option.

In terms of ports, both the LG Gram Pro and the LG Gram Pro 2-in-1 have two second generation USB 3.2 ports, two third generation USB 4 ports with Power Delivery, DisplayPort, Thunderbolt 4, and an HDMI 2.1 port.

In addition to the various Pro models, LG is also launching new laptops in the regular Gram series. There will be 14-, 15-, 16-, and 17-inch options, with the 14-inch model having a 1920×1200 resolution, the 15-inch model having a 1920×1080 resolution, and the two largest 16- and 17-inch options having a 2560×1600 resolution. The screens in all of these models have a refresh rate of 60Hz, but the screens in the two larger models can be upgraded to 31-144Hz.

The Gram models all feature the integrated Intel Arc graphics card and will be available with either 8GB, 16GB, or 32GB of memory. You can also choose between 256GB, 512GB, 1TB, or 2TB of storage.

As for when sales of the new LG gram computers will begin, the company hasn’t announced that information yet.

Last week, Google launched its new AI, or rather its new big language model, dubbed Gemini. The Gemini 1.0 model is available in three versions: Gemini Nano is supposed to be best suited for tasks on a specific device, Gemini Pro is supposed to be the best option for a wider range of tasks, and Gemini Ultra is Google’s largest language model that will handle the most complex tasks you can give it.

Something that Google was keen to highlight at the launch of Gemini Ultra was that the language model outperformed the latest version of OpenAI’s GPT-4 in 30 of the 32 most commonly used tests to measure the capabilities of language models. The tests cover everything from reading comprehension and various math questions to writing code for Python and image analysis. In some of the tests, the difference between the two AI models was only a few tenths of a percentage point, while in others it was up to ten percentage points.

Google

Google

Perhaps Gemini Ultra’s most impressive achievement, however, is that it is the first language model to beat human experts in massive multitask language understanding (MMLU) tests, where Gemini Ultra and experts were faced with problem-solving tasks in 57 different fields, ranging from math and physics to medicine, law, and ethics. Gemini Ultra managed to achieve a score of 90.0 percent, while the human expert it was compared to “only” scored 89.8 percent.

The launch of Gemini will be gradual. Last week, Gemini Pro became available to the public, as Google’s chatbot Bard started using a modified version of the language model, and Gemini Nano is built into a number of different functions on Google’s Pixel 8 Pro smartphone. Gemini Ultra isn’t ready for the public yet. Google says it’s still undergoing security testing and is only being shared with a handful of developers and partners, as well as experts in AI liability and security. However, the idea is to make Gemini Ultra available to the public via Bard Advanced when it launches early next year.

Microsoft has now countered Google’s claims that Gemini Ultra can beat GPT-4 by having GPT-4 run the same tests again, but this time with slightly modified prompts or inputs. Microsoft researchers published research in November on something they called Medprompt, a mix of different strategies for feeding prompts into the language model to get better results. You may have noticed how the answers you get out of ChatGPT or the images you get out of Bing’s image creator are slightly different when you change the wording a bit. That concept, but much more advanced, is the idea behind Medprompt.

By using Medprompt, Microsoft managed to make GPT-4 perform better than Gemini Ultra on a number of the 30 tests Google previously highlighted, including the MMLU test, where GPT-4 with Medprompt inputs managed to get a score of 90.10 per cent. Which language model will dominate in the future remains to be seen. The battle for the AI throne is far from over.

One task that AI can handle quite well is summarizing data, so Amazon and Microsoft are putting AI to work. Today, mobile users will begin seeing AI-generated summaries of Amazon product reviews, and Microsoft is also beginning to add AI-generated review summaries to the Microsoft Store app within Windows.

If you’re buying a product on Amazon, you’re familiar with the collection of reviews and ratings that appears well down the product’s page. Today, you’ll also see a short paragraph that uses AI to sum up what those customers think.

AI has become a controversial tool, as artists complain that placing AI art next to their own original works devalues the medium. As a business tool, however, it’s received a warmer reception. Microsoft has placed Bing Chat’s AI within Microsoft Edge, and is rolling it out to Windows via Windows Copilot as well. Bing Chat can perform a number of different tasks, but one that Microsoft has highlighted is its ability to summarize a lengthy PDF document or a web page.

Both Amazon and Microsoft are using that rather innocuous AI feature to help consumers determine whether an app or product is right for them. Amazon’s summary paragraph won’t be seen by everyone; it’s only available to “a subset of mobile shoppers in the U.S.,” Amazon said. The paragraph “highlights the product features and customer sentiment frequently mentioned across written reviews,” Amazon said.

Some of this sounds rather familiar, however. Today, Amazon often pulls out specific terms that appear frequently in review summaries. Amazon will continue to do this, the company said.

Newegg also added AI-generated review summaries last week, dubbing them Review Bytes and Summary AI, available on the company’s desktop version of its website.

“After analyzing all reviews, the AI extracts key terms and phrases to generate concise synopses, called Review Bytes,” Newegg said. “The Review Bytes highlight product owners’ opinions of their likes and dislikes of each product, helping shoppers understand key aspects without having to read reviews. By clicking on each Review Byte, customers can access the full reviews from which the information originated. Additionally, a comprehensive paragraph summary, called Summary^AI, provides further insights into multiple customers’ opinions with sentences to elaborate on key points.”

Meanwhile, Microsoft is adopting a similar approach.

In recent weeks, Windows 11 Insider preview testers have had access to a helpful new feature in the Microsoft Store app: generative AI-based summaries of the latest user reviews of individual apps. Now, that feature appears to be rolling out to the stable, public version of Windows 11, along with an AI hub in the Microsoft Store.

Twitter user Phantomocean3, an account that has spotted several new unannounced features and upgrades in Windows builds in the past, discovered that the Microsoft Store’s AI summaries are now becoming available to the public. MSPowerUser first reported about the discovery.

Judging by the example above, the new Microsoft Store review summaries seem to be somewhat positive in their approach. The generative AI seems to specifically highlight features that users have liked about the app. It isn’t clear whether Microsoft’s new AI will also be able to categorize apps according to particular criticisms they have received from users.

Microsoft has been working hard at integrating AI into Windows 11 in recent months, leveraging its deep partnership with ChatGPT creator OpenAI. Not only has the AI Bing Chat been worked into the operating system, but Microsoft also unveiled a forthcoming AI-powered Windows Copilot tool, and upgrades for Office that could be AI’s killer app.

Opera GX has long marketed itself as the browser for gamers. You can set how much memory, processing power, and network connectivity it can use, and it’s rife with extra features devoted to maximizing your play-time experience.

Now, the company behind the browser has now released an interesting new feature: After your death, the browser will clean up your browsing history and replace it with an embellished version of your Internet travels.

The fake My History feature is activated if you leave Opera GX unused for 14 consecutive days. It then assumes you are either dead, or using a new browser, which the company jokingly says is the same in their eyes. The browser then deletes your history and replaces it with a fake version. For example, your survivors can see how you volunteered, and you don’t have to worry about your friends ever finding out that you had to Google guides to find all the collectibles in that game you were bragging about.

Microsoft’s ChatGPT-powered Bing AI chatbot generated lots of hype over the last few months, but only worked in Microsoft’s own Edge browser — until now.

Windows Latest reports that Bing Chat just rolled out support for Google’s Chrome browser, but with some restrictions on the chatbot’s functionality. Your chat prompts can only be 2,000 characters long in Chrome, and conversations with the chatbot are limited to five messages before the session resets.

In Microsoft’s Edge browser, prompts can be up to 4,000 characters long, and you can exchange 30 messages with Bing before the conversation is reset. As part of this update, the Edge version of Bing Chat has also been given a dark mode, another feature you can’t use on Chrome yet.

9to5Google reports that YouTube has stealthily increased the price of its YouTube Premium subscription service. The price increase so far seems to apply only to the United States, where the price has been raised by two dollars to 13.99 dollars a month. We’re also seeing that price on the YouTube Premium sign-up page. Neither YouTube, nor its parent company Google, has announced anything about the price increase.

A YouTube Premium subscription service lets you watch YouTube without ads, download videos to watch when you don’t have internet access, and play videos behind a locked screen on your mobile phone. The subscription also gives you access to the music service YouTube Music Premium. Earlier this year, Google announced a bunch of nifty new YouTube features like enhanced video quality, better multi-screen support, and compatibility with Apple’s iOS SharePlay — but only for YouTube Premium subscribers.

The US military has organized the Hack-A-Sat 4 competition to take place during the annual Defcon hacker convention in August. The goal of the contestants is to take over a satellite in orbit around the Earth.

Eight hacker teams from the US, Australia, Italy, Poland and Germany emerged from the April qualifiers, where more than 380 teams registered. If all goes according to plan, the hackers will compete in Las Vegas during Defcon, reports Newsweek. The participants are so-called “white-hat” hackers who engage in ethical hacking, attacking systems on behalf of their owners to identify various security flaws.

The competition is organized by the US Air Force Research Laboratory. On previous occasions, the target has been a satellite that has remained down here on Earth, but this year the contestants will target an orbiting satellite.

The satellite that the hackers are targeting is called Moonlighter, and is designed to be vulnerable to hacker attacks. The satellite is about the size of a toaster and has several security features. For example, it is not equipped with its own engines. Controllers will also be able to reboot the satellite’s system and kick out any intruders if necessary.
