&lt;li&gt;Microsoft continues its layoff spree in the Xbox division.

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.thurrott.com/games/341892/xbox-announces-more-job-cuts-and-studio-reorgs-with-next-halo-game-developed-by-activision" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;https://www.thurrott.com/games/341892/xbox-announces-more-job-cuts-and-studio-reorgs-with-next-halo-game-developed-by-activision&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.theverge.com/news/998586/activision-halo-xbox-reorganization-layoffs" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;https://www.theverge.com/news/998586/activision-halo-xbox-reorganization-layoffs&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Meta put their cute/creepy Muse A.I. assistant on a small device.

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.engadget.com/2267229/meta-put-muse-in-a-tamagotchi-like-charm-device" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;https://www.engadget.com/2267229/meta-put-muse-in-a-tamagotchi-like-charm-device&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Google finally showed off the Googlebooks. And swear they're different from Chromebooks.

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.tomsguide.com/computing/laptops/googlebooks-vs-chromebooks-here-are-the-actual-differences" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;https://www.tomsguide.com/computing/laptops/googlebooks-vs-chromebooks-here-are-the-actual-differences&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://blog.google/products-and-platforms/devices/googlebook/pre-order-googlebook" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;https://blog.google/products-and-platforms/devices/googlebook/pre-order-googlebook&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;OpenAI will fire employees that use A.I. to do their jobs, saying it's not reliable.

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.404media.co/people-training-openais-ai-fired-for-using-ai-to-train-the-ai" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;https://www.404media.co/people-training-openais-ai-fired-for-using-ai-to-train-the-ai&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Meta announced a bunch of new smart glasses. I mean, the same ones a bunch of times.

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.theverge.com/tech/999593/meta-connect-2026-everything-announced" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;https://www.theverge.com/tech/999593/meta-connect-2026-everything-announced&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Microsoft finally announced their Copilot super app, it's 3+ apps in ~1.

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.thurrott.com/a-i/342055/microsoft-introduces-unified-copilot-desktop-app-with-code-and-autopilot-features" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;https://www.thurrott.com/a-i/342055/microsoft-introduces-unified-copilot-desktop-app-with-code-and-autopilot-features&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;GitLab lets you send commands by email. From anyone, and without authentication.

&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;After 10 years, Microsoft is finally updating their most recognizable hardware, the Surface Mouse.

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.theverge.com/news/999211/microsoft-surface-mouse-haptic-feedback" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;https://www.theverge.com/news/999211/microsoft-surface-mouse-haptic-feedback&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
