Fiivemacs , to games in "We're not blessed with big marketing budgets," Xbox's EMEA marketing lead laments Microsoft's lack of investment

Does it really need it…the entire friggin world knows Xbox, PlayStation or Nintendo. Basically anything else isn’t worth the effort or its PC. Advertising is such a joke

if you’re trying to convince people to buy an xbox instead of a playstation, yeah. And keep current xboxers within the ecosystem. post-purchase affirmation is a big component of advertising too.

You mean their games are a joke. Hard to imagine someone wanting an xbox over a PS5/Switch.

Sweet! I was just being funny with my GIF, but I do honestly love the OS ecosystem, and think that everyone will like it more than Windows if only they’d give it the proper opportunity.

Im running a manjaro+openbox disto called MABOX linux on my chromebook. It’s fantastic for the low spec nonsense machine. But def considering fedora for the surface. Its come a long way apparently.

I’m actually having issues with fedora silverblue not updating. It’s pretty frustrating, but a risk I knew going into immutable. I don’t have time right now to figure out a fix. Regardless, I would totally do fedora again and recommend it to nonbeginners. It’s an awesome variant, even coming into it from debian-based distros with only cursory knowledge of dnf.

HotsauceHurricane ,

I feel ya. I tried to revert back to kernel 6.7 from 6.9 and now my chromebook is being a turd.

autotldr Bot , to pcgaming in Ubisoft and NVIDIA are working together on AI-generated NPCs for upcoming games

This is the best summary I could come up with:


In the midst of all of that success, NVIDIA is working on smaller and larger initiatives, but they all seem to have one thing in common: they are AI-centered.

One of these smaller initiatives comes from Ubisoft Paris, where a small team is testing out how to use AI, specifically Nvidia’s Audio2Face application and Inworld’s Large Language Model (LLM), to try to make a new generation of NPCs.

As we see many studios, especially under Microsoft, begin to form unions, like the recent announcement from Activision QA workers, it might be possible to alleviate some of the risks around introducing AI.

This could then allow the player to have a genuine conversation of discovery that provides a bespoke unique experience but would always still be true to the human writer’s intention.

However, with the improvement of ChatGPT over time and image and video generation, there seems to be a more open mind around the idea of having some games use integrated large language models (LLMs) for NPC interactions.

There have even been mods for popular games like Grand Theft Auto 5, where you can talk to NPCs with ChatGPT running to answer queries.

@sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works avatar

Who cares? It’s not exactly traumatizing to reboot your computer.

entropicshart ,

You’ve clearly not had an update trigger when you were trying to present something, join a meeting, or simply do a quick restart after installing a program and get hit with a 10min “updating windows; do not shut off”

sentient_loom ,
@sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works avatar

It shouldn’t do it automatically. It shouldn’t update during a presentation at all.

entropicshart ,

I’ve had to create GP edits to prevent it from happening because it most certainly does.

Even then MS is fantastic at throwing up MFA reauthentication mid meeting or forgetting to throw it up at all and leaving you shadow logged into Outlook/Teams where it will appear functional from your side, but you will it receive anything until you close and reopen the apps.

They’ve had these issues for years and never prioritize fixing them.

I find having to boot into windows traumatizing regardless

autotldr Bot , to technology in Microsoft just renamed its Edge browser on iOS and Android... kind of

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Microsoft Edge has a new name on iOS and Android, or at least an updated name in its store listings.

The change reflects a push to integrate artificial intelligence into all of Microsoft’s services.

Microsoft Edge does have AI features built-in, as outlined by its updated App Store listing:

"Microsoft Edge, your AI-powered browser, with Copilot built in to enhance your browsing experience.

Empowered by GPT-4, Copilot enables you to ask questions, refine searches, receive comprehensive summaries and create images with DALL-E 3.

A button at the bottom of Edge brings up Copilot with Bing Chat, which can do a variety of tasks and answer questions.

autotldr Bot , to technology in Microsoft readies 'groundbreaking' AI-focused Windows release as new leadership takes the helm

This is the best summary I could come up with:


These changes are said to take effect after Hudson Valley launches in 2024, so I’m still expecting at least one more Moment update for the current version of Windows 11, which sources say will ship in the February or March time frame early next year.

This means PCs that ship with Germanium in June will be missing most of the features that make up the Hudson Valley release until the fall, when it reaches general availability for everyone.

Unsurprisingly, the big focus for Hudson Valley is on next-generation AI experiences that are being woven and integrated throughout the OS, much of which will likely require new NPU hardware to function.

Microsoft is even working on “AI” powered wallpapers which will use machine learning to identify layers in any image, and create a slight parallax effect that interacts with your cursor or built-in gyroscope if on a handheld device.

This project is code-named CorePC (or Win3 in some cases), and essentially continues the vision originally set out with Core OS where the platform is modular, allowing Microsoft to scale Windows up and down depending on what features and capabilities are necessary for a device.

I have heard that Microsoft is working on a variant of CorePC / Win3 that’s designed to compete head-to-head with Chrome OS in the low-end segment of the PC market, but this is unrelated to Hudson Valley.

BartsBigBugBag , to pcgaming in EXCLUSIVE: Call of Duty 2024 is indeed Black Ops, set during the Gulf War in the early 90s

I’m sure it’ll lie about US actions during the war, just like when they blamed the Highway of Death on the Soviets. COD literally has to get permission from the US government to feature US military equipment, they’re definitely exercising some editorial control in exchange for that. COD is propaganda, and nothing but.

TangledHyphae , to technology in Microsoft will let users uninstall Edge, Bing, and disable ads on Windows 11 as it complies with the Digital Markets Act

I wonder if this affects any of the telemetry systems they use to send user data back to the mothership (Microsoft servers)? I haven’t looked into it in a while but there used to be a powershell script to disable a lot of it in the registry.
