Microsoft’s AI upscaling for games on Copilot Plus PCs is limited to specific games.

Another tidbit from the FAQ:

At initial launch, Super Resolution will be available in a limited number of games available through the Xbox app for Windows PC: 7 Days to Die, BeamNG.drive, Borderlands 3, Control, Dark Souls III, Dying Light, The Forest, God of War, Resident Evil 2, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Skyrim SE, Sons of the Forest, Totally Accurate Battle Simulator, Unturned, Warframe, and The Witcher 3.

Is that just Microsoft putting its best foot forward, or do games need patched individually?

Microsoft isn’t gatekeeping real time translation on Windows.

Instead of being stuck in Teams or another Microsoft app the new translation feature will be “available across any video calling app, any entertainment app, translated locally across the NPU.”

That’s great because in the one demo we’ve seen so far it seemed to do a very impressive job of translating everything said in real time, no human translator required.

Crypto firm Genesis Global Capital to pay $2 billion to fraud victims.

New York Attorney General Leticia James announced the state settled with Genesis, which it sued in October 2023, along with the crypto trading firm Gemini, owned by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss. Genesis, one of the largest lenders to FTX, filed for bankruptcy in January last year.

James’ office reached a $1.1 billion settlement with Gemini in February.


Turning back the clock on Google search.

Tedium has a tip for opting out of Google’s AI search results by default: add “udm=14” to your default Google Search URL, so it reads as “https://www.google.com/search?q=%s&udm=14” instead of Google dot com.

The process differs a bit depending on your browser. In Arc, for instance, you go to Arc > Settings > Profiles > Search settings > Add (Site search).

Neuralink is gearing up to put its brain implant in another human being.

The FDA has given the Elon Musk company a green light for its second patient, the Wall Street Journal reports. Neuralink’s first implant in a human started to detach from that person’s brain, causing him to briefly lose some functions. To try to solve that problem, Neuralink reportedly plans to place the device’s threads deeper into the brain.
