Preview users have noticed OneDrive’s AI-driven face recognition setting is opt-out, and can only be turned off ‘three times a year’

Is AI the future, or just an ecologically ruinous, dangerously huge financial bubble? That’s hard to say, but it’s certainly a part of Microsoft’s future; on top of pushing Copilot as a non-negotiable part of the Microsoft 365 suite and reportedly mandating its employees put AI to work, the tech giant is reportedly rolling out…

Kick ass and chew brains in Duke Nukem: Horror Castle, a spooky mod where you blast skeletons and chow down on the gooey insides of their skulls

If you’re a die-hard Duke Nukem 3D fan feeling starved for Hallowe’en themed action, that’s an oddly specific scenario in 2025. But I have something for you nonetheless. Duke Nukem: Horror Castle takes the bubblegum-starved FPS titan and plonks him into an all-new episode, swapping out the original’s sci-fi shenanigans for a spookier theme. Created…
