Cortana's support for Windows will end later this year.

 Cortana has lost its utility as Microsoft expands its lineup of AI-powered tools.

Microsoft is discontinuing Windows Cortana support. Beginning later this year, the company will "no longer support Cortana in Windows as a standalone app," according to a support page discovered by XDA Developers and Windows Central.

The removal of Cortana from Windows doesn't come as a shock. Microsoft unveiled its new Windows Copilot tool at its Build conference in May. Once widely available, Windows Copilot will reside in your taskbar and use AI to help you do whatever Cortana does. It covers rewriting text, asking questions, changing your computer's settings, and many other things.

In 2015, Microsoft introduced Cortana to Windows 10, allowing users to use voice commands to set reminders, launch applications, and ask questions. But Microsoft has been gradually removing Cortana from the Windows experience over time. With the release of Windows 11, the digital assistant lost its prominent position on the user's taskbar and was no longer visible during the initial boot process. Additionally, Microsoft terminated support for Cortana in its Surface headphones and other products in 2020 and the Cortana app on iOS and Android.

The precise date that Microsoft will remove Cortana from Windows is unknown. But Microsoft is prioritizing its expanding collection of AI tools, including its Bing Chatbot and Microsoft 365 Copilot. According to Microsoft, Cortana will no longer be supported in Windows, but it will still be accessible in Microsoft Teams, Outlook mobile, Teams display, and Teams rooms. However, it is still being determined how long this will last.

Dongles for iPhone and iPad are broken by iOS and iPadOS updates.

Image
Apple released iOS 16.5 and iPadOS 16.5 late last week, which among other things, gave iPhone users more wallpaper choices and added a Sports tab to the Apple TV app. There is some bad news for those who have already installed the most recent versions of iOS and iPadOS on their devices. The updates render Apple's Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter dongle incompatible with iPhone and iPad models. The device has a USB-A port connecting devices to your phone or tablet and connects to an iPhone or iPad through the charging port. Additionally, the dongle has a Lightning port that can charge an iPhone or iPad while running an accessory. The iOS 16.5 and iPadOS 16.5 updates have resulted in incompatibility with both ports. Several users reported that their dongle stopped working after updating to iOS 16.5 on Reddit. A Redditor named Zahid, for instance, states, "I am having the same issue, only with my digital audio setup. My DAC (Schiit Modi+) worked fine with this adapter connecting...

Windows 10 PCs: Do you want to keep the old or upgrade to the new?

Image
  You should begin planning your upgrade path to Windows 11 and beyond if you are still running Windows 10 on an older computer.   You've probably heard Windows 11 is a "meh" operating system. Furthermore, Windows 12 is currently nothing more than a pipe dream. But with Microsoft no longer updating Windows 10 (except for security fixes), what's a PC geek to do to get the most from Windows now? In supporting people with their computers, I've observed there are frequently three types of Windows users: those with a possible PC that supports Windows 11, those with a first-rate PC that, for one hardware reason or another, won't support Windows 11; and those whose PC sorely needs hardware upgrades or an outright alternative to be a possible PC for the next two years. First, determine whether or not your PC still has enough RAM, CPU, and hard drive space (even if it can't support Windows 11); if so, your best bet is to ensure that you're running Windows 10 22...
