Director shares plot details for ‘Spinal Tap 2’Because so many gamers use a web browser to get help while playing games, Microsoft is bringing Edge to those games via the Game Bar in Windows 11. Or, at least mini version of that browser, called Microsoft Edge Game Assist. It’s available now in preview. “88 percent of PC players use a web browser while gaming to get help, track their progress, or even listen to music or chat with friends,” . “These actions require you to pull out your phone or Alt-Tab to the desktop on your PC, taking you out of your game. Unless you have multiple monitors, you also can’t see what’s happening in the game while you’re in the browser or reference a guide while you play.” Sign up for our new free newsletter to get three time-saving tips each Friday — get free copies of Paul Thurrott's Windows 11 and Windows 10 Field Guides (normally $9.99) as a special welcome gift! To make this process more seamless, Microsoft is now testing a new Edge Game Assist widget in Game Bar, the set of overlays that appears on top of games when you type Winkey + G or press the Xbox button on a controller. Game Assist is a “special version of Edge,” Microsoft says, that’s optimized for using while gaming and is game-aware so it can suggest relevant tips and guides. It uses the same browsing data as the full Edge browser–including your favorites, history, cookies, form fills, and more–so you don’t need to re-sign in to sites and more quickly access services like Discord, Twitch, and Spotify. To test Microsoft Edge Game Assist now, you have to first version 132 or higher in Windows 11. Then, you simply play a game, open the Game Bar, and enable the Game Assist widget, resizing and placing it on-screen as preferred. This first preview is English-only, but more languages are coming soon. And it appears that it only works, or maybe works best, with certain games for now, including , , , , , , , , and –assuming you’re after instant tips and guides. More is coming soon, of course. As with other Game Bar widgets, you can pin Game Assist so that it’s always available on-screen, over the game. And you can adjust its transparency so it’s not distracting. It supports a sidebar–Microsoft is addicted to sidebars–so you can pin favorite sites and services for quick access. Honestly, this looks pretty useful.

In the fast-paced world of Italian Serie A football, the latest headlines have been dominated by some major developments involving AC Milan and Inter Milan. The Red Devils of AC Milan are currently facing speculation over a possible sale, while their city rivals Inter Milan are gearing up for a crucial Champions League match with question marks over their starting lineup. Additionally, concerns have been raised over the form of a key player, which could have a significant impact on the team's performance. Let's delve into the details of these developments.OpenAI has partnered with defense startup Anduril Industries to develop AI for the Pentagon. The companies said on Wednesday that they’ll combine OpenAI’s models, including GPT-4o and OpenAI o1 , with Anduril’s systems and software to improve the US military’s defenses against unpiloted aerial attacks. The deal comes less than a year after OpenAI softened its stance on using its models for military purposes. Although the ChatGPT maker’s policies still prohibit its models from developing or using weapons, it deleted a line in January that explicitly banned integrating its tech into “military and warfare” use. The company said at the time it was already working with DARPA on cybersecurity tools. In October, the company hired a former Palantir security officer and was reportedly pitching its products to the US military and national security establishment. ADVERTISEMENT Advertisement An OpenAI spokesperson told The Washington Post that the deal complies with the company’s rules because it focuses on systems that defend against pilotless aerial threats. The company said the partnership doesn’t cover other uses. According to The Washington Post , the OpenAI-Anduril partnership will aim to improve the latter’s tech for detecting and shooting down drones threatening the US military and its allies. The Pentagon already buys Anduril’s Roadrunner drone interceptor (pictured above) to help counter the rise of smaller drones on the world’s battlefields. The startup sells sentry towers, comms jammers, military drones and an autonomous submarine, among other projects. The companies framed the partnership as a way to defend US military personnel and counter China’s advancing AI. “Our partnership with OpenAI will allow us to utilize their world-class expertise in artificial intelligence to address urgent Air Defense capability gaps across the world,” Anduril CEO Brian Schimpf wrote in a statement. “Together, we are committed to developing responsible solutions that enable military and intelligence operators to make faster, more accurate decisions in high-pressure situations.” Anduril was co-founded by Oculus Rift inventor (and Oculus VR co-founder) Palmer Luckey. That headset laid the foundation for the Meta Quest lineup , which today holds the lion’s share of the VR and AR market. Luckey left Meta (then Facebook) in 2017 , months after news broke that he donated $10,000 to a group aiming to post 4chan-style anti-Hillary Clinton memes on roadside billboards. “OpenAI builds AI to benefit as many people as possible, and supports U.S.-led efforts to ensure the technology upholds democratic values,” OpenAI CEO Sam Altman wrote in a statement. “Our partnership with Anduril will help ensure OpenAI technology protects U.S. military personnel, and will help the national security community understand and responsibly use this technology to keep our citizens safe and free.”
