EU opens antitrust investigation into Meta's policy about third-party AI services in WhatsApp

gHacks Technology News - il y a 18 heures 12 min

Last week, I reported that ChatGPT and Copilot are removing their services from WhatsApp due to a change in Meta's policy. That policy is now under scrutiny in the European Union.

The European Commission has opened an antitrust investigation to find out if Meta's rules are hurting the competition. In case you missed it, Meta has updated its terms and conditions, which forbids AI companies from using WhatsApp's Business API to distribute their services. WhatsApp will allow businesses to use AI tools for providing support or ancillary functions like automated customer support, but third-party AI services are pretty much banned. This policy comes into effect on January 15, 2026. Microsoft and OpenAI have announced that Copilot and ChatGPT will no longer be accessible in the popular messaging app due to the new rules.

The European Commission is concerned about the situation. A press release from the Commission says, "As a result of the new policy, competing AI providers may be blocked from reaching their customers through WhatsApp. On the other hand, Meta's own AI service 'Meta AI' would remain accessible to users on the platform."

The Wall Street Journal reports that a Meta spokesperson said that the commission's claims are baseless, stating, “The emergence of AI chatbots on our Business API puts a strain on our systems that they were not designed to support.”

Why not charge a fee for it? That way, everybody wins.

The European Commission's investigation will cover the EEA except for Italy, to avoid an overlap with the Italian Competition Authority's ongoing proceedings for the possible imposition of interim measures concerning Meta's conduct.

WhatsApp has replaced as SMS as the de facto replacement for day-to-day communication for billions of users around the world. It's almost difficult not to use it if you want to stay in touch with your loved ones. The main problem is people have gotten comfy with WhatsApp, Telegram and don't feel like moving to secure messaging apps such as Signal. That massive user base is a gold mine for Meta, and we should be concerned about it.

Opera for Android now lets you access Ask AI from the search bar

gHacks Technology News - il y a 18 heures 54 min

Opera's Android browser now gives you an option to access Ask AI directly from the search box. It is powered by Aria AI.

To use the feature, open a new tab and tap the search bar. It displays two options, the first of which is your search engine. The other option is Ask AI. Opera says that this allows users an easier way to interact with the AI.

(Image courtesy: Opera)

As for using the AI, there is a new option that lets you attach files. Tap on the + sign to start the process. You can use your mobile phone's camera to take a picture and upload it, or select a file from your Gallery or even a PDF from the Documents folder. For example, it can be used to translate text in images. You can ask follow-up questions about the attachment to learn more about it.

There's another way to access Ask AI, using the current tab as context. When you are on a web page, tap on the three-dot menu, and select the "Ask AI" option. The search bar will appear, and you can type in your prompt, with the current tab in context.

Opera says that to protect the privacy of users, the AI cannot access the contents from other tabs or your browsing history, it can only access the tab that you interacted with. It also explains that the Page context data is sent to the AI Engine only when the user accesses it. The prompt and page context data are encrypted and sent to Opera's servers for the AI model to process it. This data is stored on the server for 30 days and deleted automatically once the duration is up. Opera says it will not use the data for training its AI, or advertising or any other purposes.

Ask AI is enabled by default. If you don't like it, you can disable it from the app's Settings. Tap on your profile > Settings > Search < Ask AI. A quicker way to get to this screen is to tap on the search bar, which shows a settings button. Use it to get here in just 2 taps. There are several options on this page, the one that is new is the "Ask AI - Show option in address field". If you want to remove Ask AI from the menu, toggle the option that is labeled "Context menu - Show Ask AI shortcut when selecting text on a webpage"

Such features should be opt-in, not opt-out.

Download Opera for Android from the Google Play Store. Opera recently added a music visualizer to its desktop browser, you can read about it here.

What do you think about Ask AI?

Windows 11 may soon have two Run boxes

gHacks Technology News - jeu, 12/04/2025 - 21:24

Microsoft introduced duality in several areas of its Windows 11 operating system. There are, for example, the new and old context menus, or the classic Control Panel and the new Settings app. Now, it appears, Microsoft is preparing for yet another.

The details: Windows 11 could soon be getting a modernized run box, reports Windows detective Phantom of Earth on X.

The run box is several decades old already and it has not received many updates in that time. The only meaningful addition was support for dark mode. You can launch it with the keyboard shortcut Windows-R to bring it up and launch programs or commands on the machine.

Phantom of Earth reports that the new Run dialog is not enabled by default. It needs to be enabled under Settings > System > Advanced > Run dialog, at least for now.

The new Windows 11 run dialog. Source: Phantom of Earth

It uses a modern design, but that is all that we know so far. It looks similar to the PowerToys Run tool, which extends functionality beyond launching programs or running commands. Like a true launcher app, it enables users to search for folders, files or running processes, run some built-in tools and more.

Whether the modernized run dialog of the Windows 11 operating system will support that as well is anyone's guess at this point though, as little is know at this point. However, the good old trusted Ctrl-Shift-Enter hotkey for running in admin mode appears to be still present in the new run box.

The new feature is hidden in build 26534 and likely also consecutive builds when they get released. Microsoft has yet to make an official announcement regarding the new run box in Windows 11 and whether it plans to keep both run dialogs in the operating system or replace the classic one with the modern variant at some point.

Now You: do you use the run box on Windows occasionally or regularly, or do you prefer another option, such as a third-party launcher app? Feel free to leave a comment down below.

Total War: Medieval III announced, some Total War games are now available on GOG

gHacks Technology News - jeu, 12/04/2025 - 19:32

It's happening, the next historical Total War game has been announced. Creative Assembly celebrated Total War's 25th anniversary by releasing a trailer for Total War: Medieval III.

The last historical game in the series (not counting the Saga games) was Total War: Three Kingdoms, which was released in 2019. Medieval II: Total War was released in 2006, that's a long time ago. In fact, its mods are popular too, the most notable one being the Third Age Total War, which is set in Middle-Earth from the Lord of the Rings.

Here is the announcement trailer for Total War: Medieval III. It's more of a live-action teaser, really.

The game will use the studio's next gen engine, Warcore. CA says that it will allow them to release their games on PlayStation and Xbox. Medieval III is still in early pre-production phase, and it could be years before TW:M3 launches.

In fact, it may not be the next Total War game to release. Gematsu reports that Creative Assembly will show the next Total War game at The Game Awards, which is scheduled for December 11th. Kurakasis, a popular leaker, had claimed that a big Star Wars game would be announced at TGA. Putting 2 and 2 together, it sounds like we are going to see Total War: Star Wars.

Some fans were expecting a Total War: Warhammer 40,000 game, and that was a reasonable expectation, given that three games featuring Warhammer's Old Word exist. As a fan of both franchises, I'm pretty excited. Star Wars: Zero Company, an XCOM-like made by former X-COM developers, is releasing in 2026. Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War IV is also releasing next year. And we also have Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy coming from Owlcat, who made the Rogue Trader CRPG.

And there is good news for those who prefer to buy DRM-free games. GOG has partnered with Sega/Creative Assembly, and the following games are now available on its store, and are currently discounted.

Rome: Total War Collection
SHOGUN: Total War Collection
Medieval: Total War Collection
Total War: MEDIEVAL II Definitive Edition

These games are joining the GOG Preservation Program. There's more! Total War: PHARAOH DYNASTIES, Total War: ROME II – Emperor Edition, Total War: THREE KINGDOMS, and Total War: ATTILA are coming soon to GOG. This is interesting because both Pharaoh and Three Kingdoms have the Denuvo DRM on Steam. So they are finally removing it from the games.

You may not find your processor anymore on Windows 11's supported list of CPUs

gHacks Technology News - jeu, 12/04/2025 - 04:47

Can a PC run Windows 11? One of the metrics that Microsoft uses to determine that is the processors of the system. If it is too old or does not support certain features, it may not support Windows 11 officially or even unofficially.

Up until now, you could head over to the list of supported processors to find out if a specific chip is supported. You simply had to know the processor's name, which you can look up in Settings and some other places, and check if it is listed by Microsoft.

However, this is no longer the case, at least not for PCs with Intel hardware. Microsoft is listing processor series now instead of individual processors. Means, if you want to find out if your Intel Core i5-10400 CPU is supported, you need to know that it is a tenth generation processor.

The links that Microsoft added point to Intel, but there are not particularly helpful, as Intel lists all processors of a series on its website, not only those that are compatible with Windows 11. Take the Intel Celeron Processor 3000 Series as an example. It supports Windows 11 according to Microsoft, but at least some of the processors listed on Intel's website do not support Windows 11 officially due to missing requirements. Actually, only one of the processors listed by Intel on its website is compatible officially.

The main problem is that Microsoft's new list is too broad. Customers who look at it would rightfully assume that their CPU is compatible, if its series is listed on the page. As pointed out before, this is apparently not always the case and could lead to quite a few issues and wasted hours, trying to get Windows 11 to install on an unsupported PC.

Our colleagues over at Neowin point out another example. The only supported Kaby Lake processor is the Intel Core i7-7820HQ, which Microsoft uses in its own Surface Studio 2 device. The problem is, Microsoft does not list the entire processor family on its supported processors website. Is it no longer supported? Turns out, it is supported, but no longer listed.

Microsoft has updated the Intel processor listing only at this point. The AMD and ARM chip listing still display individual processors and not processor families.

Closing Words

The new listing is problematic, as it makes it look as if processors that are not officially supported are supported by Windows 11. Microsoft probably wanted to trim the list to make it easier to digest, but it has achieved the opposite. Here is a suggestion, why not add both information to the page? Display processor series, state that not all processors of a particular series may be supported, and link to your own page below that lists all supported ones.

Now it is your turn. Do you check the official documentation before installing or upgrading operating systems? What do you think of Microsoft's updated Intel processor listing? Feel free to leave a comment down below.

Microsoft says Windows 11 updates could break the Taskbar, Start Menu, Explorer and more on Enterprise PCs

gHacks Technology News - jeu, 12/04/2025 - 02:46

Microsoft has published a support document that says that Windows 11 updates might cause several system apps to stop working. These issues seem to affect enterprise PCs.

This is what the support page says,

"After provisioning a PC with a Windows 11, version 24H2 or a Windows 11, version 25H2 monthly cumulative update released on or after July 2025 (such as KB5062553 or KB5065789), XAML-dependent modern apps such as Explorer, the Start menu, SystemSettings, Taskbar and Windows Search might experience difficulties"

It mentions some scenarios where Explorer may crash on start, Windows may log on to a black screen. The Taskbar may fail to appear/render/display on the desktop. The Start Menu may fail to open, and display a critical error message. ShellHost.exe could crash. XAML-dependent apps like Consent.exe, which is used for the User Account Control UI, may crash or fail to start. The System Settings page, i.e. Start>Settings>System may fail to open. Apps may crash when initializing XAML views.

Yesterday, Martin wrote about a bug in File Explorer's dark mode that could result in a flash bang. Seriously, what's left to break at this point?
Microsoft says these issues are very unlikely to occur on personal computers, and that they affect a "limited number of enterprise or managed environments". It explained that the affected apps have a dependency on XAML packages, and that these are not registering in time after installing Windows updates.

While it is yet to resolve the problem, the company is recommending some workarounds.

IT administrators managing enterprise or virtualized environments can use the following commands in PowerShell to register the missing packages in the user session, and restart SiHost to allow Immersive Shell and related components to reflect the changes.

Add-AppxPackage -Register -Path 'C:\Windows\SystemApps\MicrosoftWindows.Client.CBS_cw5n1h2txyewy\appxmanifest.xml' -DisableDevelopmentMode

Add-AppxPackage -Register -Path 'C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.UI.Xaml.CBS_8wekyb3d8bbwe\appxmanifest.xml' -DisableDevelopmentMode

Add-AppxPackage -Register -Path 'C:\Windows\SystemApps\MicrosoftWindows.Client.Core_cw5n1h2txyewy\appxmanifest.xml' -DisableDevelopmentMode

Microsoft is suggesting users on non-persistent environments to use a logon script, and run it from a batch file before Explorer starts.

@echo off
REM Register MicrosoftWindows.Client.CBS

powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "Add-AppxPackage -Register -Path 'C:\Windows\SystemApps\MicrosoftWindows.Client.CBS_cw5n1h2txyewy\appxmanifest.xml' -DisableDevelopmentMode"

REM Register Microsoft.UI.Xaml.CBS

powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "Add-AppxPackage -Register -Path 'C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.UI.Xaml.CBS_8wekyb3d8bbwe\appxmanifest.xml' -DisableDevelopmentMode"

REM Register MicrosoftWindows.Client.Core

powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "Add-AppxPackage -Register -Path 'C:\Windows\SystemApps\MicrosoftWindows.Client.Core_cw5n1h2txyewy\appxmanifest.xml' -DisableDevelopmentMode"

All these issues on Enterprise PCs could make work life miserable. How do so many issues fly under the radar before they are shipped? What exactly is the point of the Windows Insider Program, if testers don't check for serious errors? And why haven't these issues been fixed for months?

As Windows Central's Zac Bowden rightly says, Microsoft has become sloppy when it comes to Windows 11 updates.

Crucial is exiting its RAM and SSD consumer business

gHacks Technology News - mer, 12/03/2025 - 18:14

If you thought the rising prices of DRAM was bad, think again. Micron, the company owns Crucial, is exiting its consumer business.

What does that mean? Well, it will stop producing Crucial SSDs and DRAM kits. So, why all of a sudden? Why did Micron choose to do this? In a statement published on the company's website, Sumit Sadana, EVP and Chief Business Officer at Micron Technology, said that, "The AI-driven growth in the data center has led to a surge in demand for memory and storage. Micron has made the difficult decision to exit the Crucial consumer business in order to improve supply and support for our larger, strategic customers in faster-growing segments".

(Image courtesy: Crucial)

Crucial products, such as RAM modules, SSDs, will continue to be available in the consumer market until the end of February 2026. The company will work with its partners to ensure warranty services and support are available for users. Videocardz reports that this could have a huge impact on PC building, as Crucial is very popular among users. They are right, I swapped out the RAM and SSD on my laptop for those made by Crucial too.

However, this news doesn't spell the end of Crucial. Micron says that it will continue focusing on commercial channel customers. This means it will continue supplying hardware to OEMs like HP, ASUS, DELL, Acer, etc. I wonder if this will lead to OEM-branded SSDs, RAM kits. I mean, there are some who do this already, but they could partner with Crucial to rebrand the products as their own. If that happens, they will likely come at an additional cost to consumers.

A quick check shows 32GB of DDR5 RAM now costs somewhere between $200-$350 or more, that's more than twice the price they were available earlier. Yikes!

Meanwhile, PCGamer reports that Samsung and SK Hynix have opted to 'minimize the risk of oversupply'. Ah yes, the let's screw the consumer tactic, aka price fixing. Console prices have increased drastically over the year, and it could get worse.

How much did you pay for RAM?

India withdraws decision to pre-install Sanchar Saathi app on phones

gHacks Technology News - mer, 12/03/2025 - 16:08

A couple of days ago, I reported that the Indian government had issued a directive to manufacturers to pre-install the Sanchar Saathi app on mobile phones. This decision has been withdrawn.

In case you missed it, the Sanchar Saathi app, which is developed by the Department of Telecommunications, is used to report telecom fraud, lost or stolen phones, etc. Refer to my previous coverage for more details about the app.

Shortly after the decision to preload the app on iPhones, and Android devices was announced, there was an uproar from users and politicians in India. Many people had criticized the move, citing potential privacy issues. When questioned about this, Jyotiraditya Scindia, the Union Minister for Communications, told reporters that the app was optional, and that consumers could uninstall it. However, the official wording of the press release had indicated otherwise.

Yesterday, the Indian government issued a press release that confirmed the removal of the mandate to pre-install the Sanchar Saathi app. The statement explains that the mandate would have helped spread awareness of the app, especially among non-tech savvy users. However, since making the headlines, over 600,000 people downloaded the app voluntarily in just one day. These devices help report information on 2000 fraud incidents per day. It also noted that over 1.4 Crore (14 million) users have the Sanchar Saathi app installed on their devices.

The government, having noted the app's popularity, decided it wasn't necessary to pre-install it on phones after all. I told you so! The features are useful, but it should be left to the user to decide whether they want to use it or not.

The reversal of the decision is the right call, but the one to make it mandatory felt hasty, and not properly researched. Reports indicate that Apple and Google had opposed the directive. Maybe they explained why this wasn't a good idea? Anyway, it's good that everything worked out in the end.

Microsoft warns: File Explorer may flash with a blinding color in dark mode

gHacks Technology News - mer, 12/03/2025 - 05:52

Just days after Microsoft admitted that the password button was missing for some users on Windows' sign in screen, it confirmed yet another issue that users on Windows PCs might encounter.

The details: According to Microsoft, users may see a white screen flash before they eyes in File Explorer when the system is set to dark mode.

  • The issue affects Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2.
  • It may occur after installation of KB5070311 on Windows 11 PCs.
  • There is no solution or workaround at this time, other than turning of dark mode.

Microsoft offers several scenarios where users might see the white screen flash when using Explorer. It may occur when creating a new tab, turning the details pane one or off, selecting more details when copying, and when navigating to or from Home or Gallery.

Most users might experience then issue when they open File Explorer, as Home may be set as the default view.

Microsoft released KB5070311 on December 1, 2025 as the preview update for the upcoming cumulative update, which it will release on Tuesday, December 9, 2025. It is the last major update for Windows 11 in the year 2026.

Turning off Dark Mode, the only option

Windows 11 users may turn off Dark Mode for the time being, if they experience the white flashes and want them to stop.

  1. Open the Start menu.
  2. Select Settings there, or type Settings and press the Enter-key to launch the app.
  3. Switch to Personalization > Colors in the Settings app.
  4. Click on the menu next to "Choose your mode" on the page and pick Light.

Doing so switches the system to a light theme. However, this may not be an ideal solution for most users, especially if they prefer dark mode over the lighter colored mode.

Microsoft announced plans to update the article when the issue is resolved. Whether that is already going to happen before the release of the December 9 cumulative update remains to be seen. Dark mode users on Windows 11 might want to hold off with the installation of the update until it is clear, whether the issue is also part of that update.

It is also unclear whether Windows 10 devices will also be affected by the issue. Microsoft did not release a preview update for the older operating system, which means that we will have to wait and see here as well.

Now You: Are you still on Windows 10 or already on Windows 11 or another operating system entirely? Let me and everyone else know in the comments below.

Valve is developing an Android compatibility layer for Linux, it's called Lepton

gHacks Technology News - mer, 12/03/2025 - 01:04

It looks like Valve's Android compatibility layer for Linux has a name. It's called Lepton.

GamingOnLinux spotted the listing on SteamDB, which indicated that Lepton is based on Waydroid. But that logo was changed to a cute froggy.

In case, you aren't aware of it, Waydroid is a container-based compatibility layer that lets users run Android apps on Linux. You may be aware that Valve has a compatibility layer for Windows games called Proton. Now they are prepping one for Android games. Proton, Lepton, somebody likes particle Physics.

Here's a blank Steam page for Lepton, proof that it is real, but there's absolutely no information on what it does. It is likely that Lepton was primarily developed for something specific in mind. Shortly after Valve announced the Steam Machine, Steam Controller and Steam Frame, a Valve engineer, Jeremy Salan, told The Verge that the VR headset will support Android games. Developers can use the same APKs to bring their apps from phones to it, so they don't have any additional burden to port over their work to the platform.

A couple of weeks ago, Valve added support for Android and Linux Arm to the Steamworks SDK. The Steam Frame is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. Based on all this, it's fairly easy to tell what Lepton will be about, playing Android games on the Steam Frame, on SteamOS. The VR headset will launch in early 2026 along with the new Steam Controller and the Steam Machine.

It's unclear if Lepton would be supported on other devices. The Steam Deck would be a really cool way to play Android games, with its built-in controller and touch screen. I don't see a reason why it shouldn't be available for desktops. There are ways to play Android games on PC, using emulators like Google Play Games, Bluestacks, etc.

Would you like to play Android games on your Linux computer?
