I’m sick to death of PC gaming’s endless launchers

The proliferation of game launchers such as Epic Game Store, Ubisoft Connect, Battle.net, EA App, Rockstar Social Club, and Paradox Launcher has caused frustration among players, who experience issues like unresponsiveness and crashes. Gamers desire a streamlined experience with fewer intrusive launchers and prefer to share data without the presence of multiple platforms. They would appreciate options to bypass launchers entirely or simplify access to games, contrasting with the ease of console gaming, where games can be accessed with a single button press. The gaming community hopes developers will address these concerns for a more user-friendly experience.

Microsoft to re-launch ‘privacy nightmare’ AI screenshot tool

Microsoft plans to reintroduce its tool, Recall, in November 2024, after delaying its release due to privacy concerns. Recall will now operate on an opt-in basis, a change from the original version that was to be enabled by default, following inquiries from the UK's Information Commissioner's Office regarding its data collection capabilities. The tool is designed to help users access past activities on their PCs by capturing desktop screenshots at regular intervals. Microsoft has implemented additional security measures, ensuring that all snapshots and associated information will be encrypted, and access to screenshots will require biometric login. Recall will be exclusive to the CoPilot+ range of laptops, which have advanced AI chips. Cybersecurity expert Professor Alan Woodward has acknowledged the improvements but emphasizes the need for thorough testing of its security and privacy aspects before deployment.
