Microsoft will delay its controversial Recall feature and take more time to test and polish it before rolling it out to Copilot+PCs.

In an update to a blog post detailing changes coming to Recall, Microsoft revealed it would not make the feature available as a preview on Copilot+PCs on June 18th, as originally planned. Instead, the company will launch the preview in the Windows Insider Program first to get more feedback. Eventually, the company will make the Recall preview available to all Copilot+PCs, though there isn’t a timeline for when that will happen yet.

“We are adjusting the release model for Recall to leverage the expertise of the Windows Insider community to ensure the experience meets our high standards for quality and security,” Microsoft wrote in the blog post.

“This decision is rooted in our commitment to providing a trusted, secure and robust experience for all customers and to seek additional feedback prior to making the feature available to all Copilot+ PC users.”

This is the latest change to Recall following an outcry over security and privacy issues. Microsoft first revealed Recall at its Copilot+PC event in May. The company positioned Recall as a helpful tool for searching previous activities to find documents, conversations, photos, and more. However, security experts raised concerns over how Recall captures screenshots of what people are doing, which could result in the feature storing personal information like banking details or passwords. Recall uses screen captures to build a ‘semantic index’ of user activity that can be searched.

Notably, Apple’s recently unveiled Apple Intelligence features similarly rely on a semantic index built from personal information people store on their iPhones. Though both features work on-device and don’t use cloud processing, Apple Intelligence doesn’t appear to take screen captures to build its semantic index.

Microsoft will share another blog post detailing how to get the Recall preview once it becomes available for Insiders. However, the company still says Insiders will need Copilot+PCs to test Recall due to “hardware requirements,” even though it’s been proven that Recall works fine on other hardware.

With the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 on the way, we’re getting new leaks about the upcoming device. We recently saw the specs for the device, and Ice Universe posted images of a dummy phone on their X (Twitter).

We see a more modern, updated design compared to the Fold 5. The handset sports a squared, boxy design with sharper corners and a wider Cover Screen. Many in the past, including myself, have complained about the aspect ratio of the front screen, so this would be a welcomed update compared to its predecessor.

The handset’s full specs were also leaked, indicating that you can see most of the Z Fold 6 changes just by looking at it. The smartphone’s UI may also have many Galaxy AI changes, but we’ll have to wait until next month to learn more about Samsung’s upcoming flagship.

Two female Apple employees have filed a lawsuit against the tech giant, alleging that it pays women less than men for the same work.

In a California court, the women are proposing a class-action suit to represent more than 12,000 current and former female employees across Apple’s engineering, marketing and AppleCare divisions. The suit alleges that Apple “systematically” paid women lower wages over a four-year period due to a policy that set their salaries based on their previous employment, according to The Wall Street Journal. 

While the state of California made it illegal in 2018 for employers to ask job candidates about their prior pay, Apple would instead ask about pay expectations, the lawsuit says. The tech giant would then reportedly set starting salaries at lower rates based on these pay expectations.

The lawsuit also alleges that “Apple’s performance evaluation system is biased against women because for scored categories such as teamwork and leadership, men are rewarded and women are penalized for the same behaviors.”

The lawsuit calls for class members to be compensated for the loss of fair wages, as well as declaratory and injunctive relief. Apple has not yet publicly responded to the suit.

Rumours have been circulating for the past several weeks that Samsung will hold its next Unpacked event on July 10th. If you have any doubts, we have the second-best thing next to the South Korean company announcing it: Evan Blass. The prolific leaker has posted an image to X (Twitter) confirming the July 10th Unpacked event.

Blass’ GIF shows a countdown clock that looks like it was made by Samsung. The clock is counting down to July 10th at 10pm KST (9am ET), which is a bit early, considering past Samsung events have occurred at about 10am or 1pm ET.

Samsung is rumoured to launch the Galaxy Z Fold 6, Z Flip 6, Galaxy Watch 7, and Galaxy Ring. Knowing Samsung, we’ll probably see another tablet on the horizon as well. Of course, this isn’t officially from Samsung, but if Blass is saying it, then it’s definitely more than possible.

Google is reportedly testing a new way to ensure people see YouTube ads: injecting them right into the video stream. However, some users report the new ads are unskippable or remove playback controls entirely.

The change was highlighted on X/Twitter by SponsorBlock, a crowdsourced extension that can skip sponsored sections in YouTube videos. According to a tweet from SponsorBlock, YouTube is testing “server-side ad injection,” which adds ads right into the video stream. That effectively breaks SponsorBlock since it offsets the timestamps it uses to skip sponsored segments.

However, the change will impact not just SponsorBlock but also most YouTube ad blockers. Currently, YouTube performs client-side ad injection, which means that the ads are delivered to users separately from the video and then placed throughout the content by the video player.

Worse, Gizmodo reports that some users weren’t able to skip the new ads. In some cases, playback controls were disabled when the ads played.

“YouTube is improving its performance and reliability in serving both organic and ad video content. This update may result in suboptimal viewing experiences for viewers with ad blockers installed,” Google told Gizmodo. It also went on to say that ad blockers violate YouTube’s terms of service and that people should try YouTube Premium for an ad-free experience.

The new server-side injection doesn’t appear to be widely rolled out yet, but for those who do have it, the experience doesn’t sound great.
