Among the software developers who use Microsoft's GitHub, the most popular community discussion in the past 12 months has been a request for a way to block Copilot, the company's AI service, from generating issues and pull requests in code repositories. The second most popular discussion – where popularity is measured in upvotes – is a bug report that seeks a fix for the inability of users to disable Copilot code reviews.

For the first time, iOS 26 will let you record the screen of your iPhone or iPad in its full resolution, resulting in higher-quality and better-looking screen captures. Screen recording was first introduced with iOS 11, finally providing an easy way to capture what’s on your screen without using a computer. Since then, the resolution of those recordings has been limited to a maximum of 1920px in either height or width. This means that all modern iPhones have recorded at 884×1920, which on an iP
AI fever might have an iron grip on Fortune 500 CEOs, Wall Street traders, and government officials, but there are still some out their immune to the tech industry's charms.

Lenovo isn’t shy about trying new things. Last year, the PC maker teased a concept laptop with a transparent screen. Earlier this year, the ThinkBook Flip concept employed a flexible OLED display that folded over the top of the laptop lid, ready to flip up whenever you needed the extra screen space. At CES 2025, we saw a ThinkBook with a rollable OLED screen that expanded upward automatically at the touch of a button—this one is a real product you can actually buy. Get ready for another whacky
Microsoft says it has been enforcing multifactor authentication (MFA) for Azure Portal sign-ins across all tenants since March 2025. The company's Azure MFA enforcement efforts were announced in May 2024 when Redmond began implementing mandatory MFA for all users signing into Azure to administer resources. One year ago, in August 2024, Microsoft also warned Entra global admins to enable MFA for their tenants by October 15, 2024, to ensure users don't lose access to admin portals. After comple
Lenovo has proven again that it isn’t content with PC designs. The latest era of laptops has been focused on ultralight computers that are easy to transport, but they're hard to differentiate.

Poisoning Well 31st March 2025 One of the many pressing issues with Large Language Models (LLMs) is they are trained on content that isn’t theirs to consume. Since most of what they consume is on the open web, it’s difficult for authors to withhold consent without also depriving legitimate agents (AKA humans or “meat bags”) of information. Some well-meaning but naive developers have implored authors to instate robots.txt rules, intended to block LLM-associated crawlers. User-agent: GPTBot D

World Liberty Financial’s crypto token WLFI started trading on exchanges Monday, which was great news for President Donald Trump’s family, who holds a reported 22.5 billion tokens. The move instantly created billions in wealth for America’s ruling family of fascists (at least on paper). But Justin Sun, a pro-Trump crypto billionaire who reportedly bought about $75 million of the token, says his wallets have been frozen. And nobody is sure why. The Trump family was instrumental in launching Wor

X, formerly Twitter, has started rolling out its new encrypted messaging feature called “Chat” or “XChat.” The company claims the new communication feature is end-to-end encrypted, meaning messages exchanged on it can only be read by the sender and their receiver, and — in theory — no one else, including X, can access them. Cryptography experts, however, are warning that X’s current implementation of encryption in XChat should not be trusted. They’re saying it’s far worse than Signal, a techno
