The PS5 has an internal capture system that can store up to an hour of gameplay. To save recent gameplay, press the Share button and select Save Recent Gameplay, with options for clip lengths up to 60 minutes. Double-tapping the Share button captures a three-minute clip by default. For exporting clips, change the capture settings to MP4 format and use the Media Gallery for editing and transferring. On the Nintendo Switch, players can save the last 30 seconds of gameplay by holding the Capture Button. This footage can be edited in the Album and transferred via the Switch App or USB-C cable. Longer recordings require external capture devices. PC gamers often use ShadowPlay from the NVIDIA App, accessible with Alt+Z during gameplay for saving videos. Steam also offers a built-in Game Recording system for background recording up to 120 minutes or on-demand recording. External capture devices, like the Elgato HD60 series, allow for capturing gameplay from consoles directly to a PC, though they may introduce latency and require an HDMI splitter. Ensure HDCP is enabled on the console to avoid recording issues with copyrighted material.

A Linux developer, operating under the GitHub handle er-bharat, is creating a desktop environment called Win8DE that resembles the aesthetics of Windows 8. The project is currently in its alpha stages, specifically version 0.5.0, and aims to provide a user interface suited for touchscreen devices. The developer's efforts highlight a gap in the market for a Windows 8-inspired theme for Linux environments, as existing themes do not replicate the card-like UI of Windows 8. The installation process for Win8DE has presented challenges due to dependency issues typical of alpha software.

Google is developing Android XR glasses, evidenced by a new companion app in Android Canary builds with the package name “com.google.android.glasses.companion.” The app features a basic interface for setting up glasses and exploring purchasing options, although the purchase button is inactive.

Additional features include display settings like brightness control and an “audio-only” mode. The first Android XR glasses are expected to debut from Samsung in 2026, indicating a reliance on Google’s software for the hardware.

Programmer Ryan Fleury criticized Windows 11's AI-powered search feature in a video, highlighting a suggestion that users ask, “My mouse pointer is too small,” which yielded no results after a ten-second wait. In contrast, a simple search for the word “test” produced three relevant outcomes. Microsoft is committed to enhancing Windows 11 with AI, having ended support for Windows 10 to encourage users to transition to the new system featuring a virtual assistant called Copilot. New features include a Copilot icon on the taskbar and integration into Windows Explorer for generating document summaries. However, security concerns persist due to past incidents where sensitive information was saved in unsecured locations. Discontent with Microsoft's AI direction has grown since the discontinuation of Windows 10, and CEO Satya Nadella's comments against the term “slop” have led to increased use of the term “Microslop” on social media. Fleury's sarcastic remarks about AI's coding capabilities reflect skepticism about the effectiveness of AI in delivering quality results.

Hypixel Studios has revealed a 40-second gameplay clip showcasing the modding potential of Hytale, a Minecraft-inspired survival game, ahead of its Early Access launch on January 13. The clip features a character battling voxel-based enemies in a top-down arena and was created by a team member as a proof-of-concept for the game's diverse modding capabilities. While this specific mod will not be included in the official release, Hypixel hinted at the possibility of publishing it for community inspiration. The studio recently reacquired the rights to Hytale from Riot Games, which had previously halted the project. Hytale will not be available on Steam at launch due to concerns about first impressions and modding feature limitations, with plans to engage Valve to address these issues.
