Microsoft delays wider release of controversial Recall AI feature
| The move follows a backlash over privacy concerns
| Microsoft is set to launch its new Copilot+ PCs on June 18, but they won’t include the controversial Recall feature, VentureBeat reported. Recall was heavily criticized over privacy issues when Microsoft unveiled the AI feature in May, prompting the company to add some additional safeguards last week. But rather than release it next week as planned, Microsoft has now decided to hold it back for more testing. “We are adjusting the release model for Recall to leverage the expertise of the Windows Insider community to ensure the experience meets our high standards for quality and security,” the company said on Thursday ... | |

Apple CEO thinks people may begin to use their iPhones less
| Tim Cook said that it's never been Apple's aim to have people spend all of their time on their devices
| Apple chief Tim Cook has said there’s a "significant possibility" that the company’s new Apple Intelligence system will lead people to spend less time using their iPhone. Cook made the comments in an interview with tech YouTuber Marques Brownlee following Apple’s AI-heavy WWDC keynote earlier this week. The CEO explained that as Apple Intelligence gets smarter and becomes more integrated into the iPhone, tasks that once took a long time will be completed more quickly. A vastly improved Siri assistant, for example, could make a big difference in task efficiency when it rolls out as part of iOS 18 in the fall ... | |

Insta360's new camera is 'a worthy 4K successor to the Go 3'
| The first reviews have already dropped, and they are mostly positive
| Insta360’s new Go 3S camera now shoots in 4K and is so small that you can wear it, Digital Trends reported. Tom’s Guide gives it a high rating, praising the Go 3S for its small size and flip-up display. It adds that it’s “perfect for vlogging,” but wishes it had expandable storage and a port for an external microphone. TechRadar's reviewer said it was “one of the most fun cameras I've ever used, encouraging a degree of creative thinking that you don't get with your phone or bulkier cameras,” while PetaPixel described it as “a clever take on action cameras that proves to be more than a gimmick" ... | |

House of the Dragon renewed by HBO for Season 3
| The fantasy drama is set two centuries before the events depicted in Game of Thrones | HBO has renewed House of the Dragon for Season 3 ahead of the Season 2 premiere on Sunday in a move that Variety said demonstrates “the formidable strength of HBO’s Game of Thrones empire.” The Game of Thrones spinoff series has been a big hit for the network, garnering the biggest premiere audience ever for an original series for both HBO and HBO Max (now Max). The first season drew an average of 29 million viewers per episode over linear and streaming, and was renewed for Season 2 a mere one week after it premiered. “We could not be more thrilled to continue the story of House Targaryen and watch this team burn bright again for Season 3,” HBO said ... | |

Valve is being sued for a huge amount of money | The legal action is linked to Valve-owned Steam, the biggest digital distribution platform for PC games globally | The owner of Steam is being sued for an amount equivalent to $838 million, the BBC reported Valve Corporation faces accusations of shutting out competition and using its market dominance to overcharge millions of gamers in the U.K. "Valve is rigging the market and taking advantage of U.K. gamers," said Vicki Shotbolt, a digital campaigner who is bringing the class-action suit. It claims Valve "forces" game publishers to sign up to so-called price parity obligations, preventing titles from being sold at cheaper prices on rival platforms and enabling Steam to charge an "excessive commission of up to 30%” on PC games and add-on content. Valve has yet to comment on the case ... | |
