Oh man, why is Microsoft stopping collections in Edge? This has been one of my favorite features and I have a good dozen collections set up that I open on a regular basis for groupings of websites. What is everybody doing moving forward and what are the options for maintaining collection-like functionality in Edge? Thanks everybody for your suggestions in advance.

Like the title said, I'm just wondering about the future of Windows Hello (Facial Recognition).

Deployed Agent 365 last week specifically for the shadow AI detection piece. Got the Intune prerequisites sorted, enrolled the fleet, flipped the detection policy on. Took about a day.

It found OpenClaw. One agent. That's it.

Meanwhile our devs are running Claude Desktop, Cody, Continue, Cursor, and a local Ollama instance on a staging box. None of it flagged. The detection page is telling us we're fine when we are very obviously not fine.

I get that it's a preview and Microsoft says coverage will expand. But right now the gap between what Agent 365 sees and what's actually running is hard to ignore.

Anyone else rolled this out and found the same thing?

So, better WinUI 3 resources for developers = better incentive to create native apps over web apps.

>During testimony in the ongoing Elon Musk vs. OpenAI case, Microsoft executive Michael Wetter revealed that the company has spent more than $100 billion on its partnership with OpenAI to date, including direct investments, Azure infrastructure, and hosting costs for AI models like ChatGPT. The spending has surged since Microsoft’s initial $1 billion investment in 2019, with the company later committing around $13 billion more to OpenAI.

It may have well been more than two years since users first started reporting about a backend server bug that prevented the user from removing a linked device because the ID was associated with a Windows installation that was either reinstalled, wiped completely, or the PC simply had its hardware swapped with different components. causing what I suspect was a desynchronization between the MS servers and the either now non-existent copy of Windows or the different hardware configuration associated with the persistent device ID on that particular machine. This bug also prevented the user from adding the device again since the serial number of the device was still technically in use. Extremely frustrating issue, I don't understand why it took so long for Microsoft to solve it, but I'm glad it's fixed. It really seems like MS is finally getting its shit together, now let's keep the ball rolling.

Microsoft Corp is in discussions to shelve one of the industry’s most ambitious clean-energy targets as it tries to remove hurdles that could hold it back in the race to power data centers, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

The company is weighing whether to delay — or even abandon altogether — its 2030 target of matching 100% of its hourly electricity use with renewable energy purchases, according to the people, who requested anonymity to discuss a private matter.
