Microsoft has deployed a new preview build of Windows 11 to the Canary channel (which is the earliest testing outlet) and it does some work on the widgets panel that could be divisive.

Most of the best robots, ones that can walk, run, climb steps, and do parkour, do not have faces, and there may be a good reason for that. If any of them did have mugs like the one on this new research robot, we’d likely stop in our tracks in front of them, staring wordlessly […]
Remember that Microsoft was previously testing an idea whereby Copilot automatically launches by default when Windows 11 first boots?

Until now I’ve been […]
