100 AI-written emails per day

How much video information does a project file even have though? Like, if it’s just instructions for editing together the video clips, that aren’t even being uploaded, that doesn’t seem very useful for AI training.

The program now requires video projects to be saved to Microsoft’s OneDrive cloud storage service in order to continue editing them, reports Windows Latest.

According to Microsoft, the media files themselves (such as video clips and images) don’t necessarily need to be synced to the cloud.

This is less shitty than I expected. Forcing people to put videos and images in OneDrive could have pushed them towards paying for more OneDrive space, but if it’s just the project file I’m not even sure why Microsoft made the change. Are Clipchamp project files big?

We just had this month’s Patch Tuesday and they’re still dealing with problems caused by last month’s?! I really need to try harder to convince my father putting Linux on his current computer is a better idea than buying a Windows 11 computer.

So after all that, Epic just got the commission cut by 1/3? Wonder how long it’ll take their savings to equal what they spent on legal fees and the revenue they missed while Fortnite wasn’t on the Play Store.

edit: Ars’ coverage says attorneys’ fees were included in the settlement, so I guess Epic only needs to make up the missed revenue.

This time around, a dedicated NPU would be required, a specialized processor designed to handle AI tasks.

Releasing an OS that requires an NPU when Intel and AMD are only this year starting to ship desktop CPUs that even have an NPU seems very aggressive.

It’s OpenAI in particular trying to screw everyone else. The wafers they contracted from Samsung and SK Hynix are something like 40% of those companies’ production. There isn’t enough production volume for the other AI companies to over order like that.

Since the summary doesn’t say which three popular password managers:

As one of the most popular alternatives to Apple and Google’s own password managers, which together dominate the market, the researchers found Bitwarden was most susceptible to attacks, with 12 working against the open-source product. Seven distinct attacks worked against LastPass, and six succeeded in Dashlane.

Benj Edwards handles most of their AI coverage. I wouldn’t take his use of AI as a sign of what the rest of the staff is doing.

Ars Technica has published a retraction

edit: Benj Edwards, the author responsible, has posted his side. tl;dr: He was sick and he messed up, and he asked for the article to be pulled because he was too sick to fix it right away.

Benj and Kyle were the authors of the article; Dan’s name wasn’t on it.

I expect that not only will the current FCC decline to do anything about this, the complaint may have given Trump a new business idea.

However, Epic Game Store only actually exists on Windows, and it’s on iOS in the EU.

Your information seems to be outdated. On the EGS download page I get an “Install on Windows” link with text below it “Also available on Mac OS, Android, iPhone (EU only) and iPad (EU only).”

The git repo has a server installation guide.

Perhaps it should have been wide adoption that led to a boom, instead of a boom in hope of adoption?

Reason #42 for open platforms: to shut down every politician’s incessant demands to all gatekeepers to censor all of their political opponents," Sweeney wrote in a first tweet responding to MacRumors’ report of US politicians requesting that Apple and Google remove X and Grok from their app stores.

Politicians want the offending apps removed from the app stores, and Sweeney thinks app store business is his business. He really ought to worry more about improving his own store.

Users: File search should not be this bad
Microsoft: How about this bad?

Google has announced that, starting in 2026/2027, all apps on “certified” Android devices will require the developer to submit personal identity details directly to Google.

The requirement is that developers submit their own personal identity details to Google, not users’ personal identity details. It’s explained on the linked site:

In August 2025, Google announced that starting next year, it will no longer be possible to develop apps for the Android platform without first registering centrally with Google. This registration will involve:

Paying a fee to Google
Agreeing to Google’s Terms and Conditions
Providing government identification
Uploading evidence of the developer’s private signing key
Listing all current and future application identifiers

This renaming happened for the Office app a while back, but now they’ve applied it to Office itself? It is April 1st already?

Valve can’t even count to 3 and it makes plenty of money.
