Windows 11 now lets EU users export Recall data – if they still trust it

Editor's take: Microsoft is testing a new Recall "export experience" for unpaid beta testers in the Windows Insider program that it was forced to build to comply with European laws. That said, we still believe every Windows user with a sane mind should simply disable and uninstall the entire Recall mess – for good. Microsoft recently released a new Windows 11 Preview Build to the Beta Channel for Windows Insiders (KB5060816). The update includes a significant addition for owners of Copilot+ PCs

AI copyright anxiety will hold back creativity

technologyreview.com Nitin Nohria 2025-10-17 07:00:00

During a later visit to a Picasso exhibit in Milan, I came across a famous informational diagram by the art historian Alfred Barr, mapping how modernist movements like Cubism evolved from earlier artistic traditions. Picasso is often held up as one of modern art’s most original and influential figures, but Barr’s chart made plain the many artists he drew from—Goya, El Greco, Cézanne, African sculptors. This made me wonder: If a generative AI model had been fed all those inputs, might it have pro

These problems exist because Wayland’s design omits basic functionality that desktop applications for X11, Windows and macOS have relied on for decades—things like being able to position windows or warp the mouse cursor. This functionality was omitted by design, not oversight. The fragmentation doesn’t help either. GNOME interprets protocols one way, KDE another way, and smaller compositors yet another way.

In fact, some even predicted that the X half would sell out quickly.
