@chadwiko.bsky.social may I suggest a new sport? Hurling is pretty interesting.

@markbullocknfl.bsky.social am I crazy or are Washington's QBs struggling on the zone read this year? I've seen several plays in which Daniels or Mariota should have kept the ball but didn't. Both basic zone read and split zone.

Out of nowhere, Google has dropped a new app for Windows 11, and it's not quite what I would have imagined it to be. Enter a PowerToys Run alternative that can search your PC and interact with Google services. www.windowscentral.com/software-app...

Me after watching the r/ChatGPT subreddit over the last 72 hours.

Microsoft Teams is basically a co-star in the 0%-rated War of the Worlds remake. Somehow, that’s not the worst part. www.windowscentral.com/software-app...

"What have we done?" OpenAI’s Sam Altman gets reflective just days before GPT-5 drops — and ChatGPT now tells you when it’s time to take a break.

I wish Microsoft tried as hard to be ahead of the curve with mobile as it currently is with AI.

This was a fun piece to write.

Microsoft begins testing new built-in GIF maker on Windows 11 www.windowscentral.com/software-app...

Circle to Search, but make it for Windows (and Linux). This free app mimics Android’s visual lookup feature, but on your desktop. www.windowscentral.com/software-app...

Microsoft’s Surface Laptop 7 is now $500 off. Same Snapdragon X Elite chip, same all-day battery — just at a lower price. www.windowscentral.com/hardware/sur... 💸💻

A recent MIT study says using ChatGPT might be costing you more than you think. An overreliance on the tool could lead to reduced brain activity.

"I asked ChatGPT" "I asked Grok" ok well I asked Gandalf and he said he has not passed through fire and death to bandy crooked words with a witless worm

Since one of my favorite courses at college was meteorology, I was very confused to read NOAA had a stance on Palestine. Turns out it's not THAT NOAA. www.windowscentral.com/microsoft/mi...

As a traveling gamer, I'm hoping Steam Deck 2 and other next-gen PC handhelds opt for an often overlooked feature. Kickstands ARE a game changer, and I'll tell you why. OPINION: www.windowscentral.com/gaming/gamin... 🎮

Bill Gates recently said, "AI will replace humans for most things." Could this prediction be playing out at Microsoft with potential job cuts? A new report suggests middle management could take the hit. READ: www.windowscentral.com/microsoft/mi... ✂️

Now is a good time to remind folks that NFL fans get desperate for football in the offseason and start fights online about free agent signings. I feel bad for @chadwiko.bsky.social

Is there a term for a social media hipster who uses Bluesky and Digg in 2025?

RIP Skype (reportedly). I've been with my wife around 12 years. The first year mostly long distance and Skype was our platform of choice. Thanks for making my marriage possible Skype. www.windowscentral.com/microsoft/mi...

NGL, I'm still upset about Microsoft 365 increasing in price. But since there are more important things in the world going on right now, I think most people will forget about it.

@bulletsforever.bsky.social the question of the day is, "how many minutes would Bronny average on this year's Wizards?"

I know some people *need* an x86 PC, but if you don't, the price over the Surface Pro 11 with Snapdragon makes it an easy choice. That's even more true given the current discount on the 2-in-1. www.windowscentral.com/hardware/sur...

New logo incoming

Mr. Bott hits it out of the park with this one. Outlines everything so eloquently.

I used the Microsoft Store once. I used Steam once. I couldn't believe the difference. I kept using both and the difference became even clearer. Windows is a home for PC gaming but the Microsoft Store isn't.

Elon over here about to release the Tesla Model SS.

I've never seen an ad within the Microsoft 365 app on Android. Is this new?

Microsoft losing the plot once again.

Several times a day I am now presented with Girl Scout cookie articles by MSN. I clicked ONE article about Girl Scout cookies. I got the news. I'm up to date. I don't need hourly coverage of s'mores being retired.

I clicked one article about Girl Scout cookies and now MSN thinks I want to read EVERY article about Girl Scout cookies.

You shouldn't have to pay to bring Windows 10 features to Windows 11. But if you're willing, this app does a great job mimicking the calendar flyout from Windows 10. Here's why our @seanendicott.bsky.social thinks the app is worth the price. READ: www.windowscentral.com/software-app... 👇

Is this what we're doing now? Calling for solutions that will never happen? I'm not even saying it's a bad idea, it's just useless to propose. www.windowscentral.com/software-app...

@benstandig.bsky.social as far as I can tell, 2024 set the record for combined regular season wins between Washington and Baltimore (at least 22). Lots of winning in the area. A fun time for NFL fans in Maryland, DC, and Virginia.

Watching the NFL is one of the only times I see American ads (NFL GamePass shows the US commercials). It's wild that just about every ad tonight is about getting money fast, saving money through an app, or travelling away from where you are. Says a lot about how things are for a lot of people. 😕
