people know this, but the tech news is actually mined directly from our writer's subconscious using an elaborate Inception style setup. We had to go like three levels deep to get today's news. We lost some good men down there. Microsoft's Xbox Mode, the full screen gaming interface it originally built for Windows handhelds. As the full screen experience started rolling out to all Windows 11 PCs, and yesterday the timing is a little awkward, Microsoft killed its this is an Xbox campaign in March. You know, the one insisting your phone and fire TV stick were already Xboxes because it didn't feel like Xbox. Six weeks later, here's a feature that makes your laptop feel exactly like an Xbox Xbox Mode replaces your traditional desktop with a console style home screen, aggregating your library from multiple stores into one window. Once it shows up on your PC, you can flip it on under Settings and Gaming Xbox Mode or hit the Windows key plus F11 to drop straight in. Rollout is gradual and limited to select markets, expanding over the coming weeks, so if you don't see it yet, your Windows 11 PC is just being shy. It's okay little guy. You can beat Xbox too. It's allowed. Now Meta is threatening to shut down Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp in New Mexico if state prosecutors get their way in implementing a list of child safety changes because they hate children. The threat comes after New Mexico won a $375 million lawsuit in March with a jury finding Meta liable for exposing children to sexual predators on its platforms. I caramba. During the trial, taped deposition showed Facebook CEO and man 99% of the way through a fish to human transformation. Mark Zuckerberg calling harm to kids on his platforms an inevitability. Now, in a court filing, Meta is arguing that the Attorney General's proposed reforms, which include CSAM detection, age verification, and a restriction on end to end encryption for minors, are technologically impractical. According to Meta, the shutdown threat only kicks in if the judge sides with the state at the bench trial that begins May 4, Star Wars Day. New Mexico Attorney General Raul Torres is unmoved, calling the threat a PR stunt truly known in the universe as executes PR stunts as cringe as Zuckerberg Speaking of young people and AI miners in the US might not be able to use chatbots the same way in the future if a bipartisan bill goes through. The legislation, dubbed the Guard act, would require AI companies to verify the ages of their users in order to bar miners from interacting with AI companions. It would also force chatbots to disclose to all users that they are not human. They're not okay. The bill follows a number of lawsuits against OpenAI, Google, Microsoft and Anthropic over LLMs being involved in several instances of teen violence and self harm. The bill cleared committee with a unanimous 22 nothing vote and now heads to the Senate floor where it could face pushback from politicians who are subject to lobbying by big tech. The Money Texas senator and retired member of the Nazgul Ted Cruz has already introduced his own watered down version of the bill in order to protect those innocent AI companies against the dark specter of child safety. One thing they won't need protection from gross is our sponsor Shokz openfit Pro
