Microsoft is rolling out updates to the Xbox PC app and Xbox consoles to enable cloud games to follow you across multiple devices. A new play history feature will show cloud games in the recently played list and roam across Xbox consoles, PCs, and handhelds. Cloud-playable titles, including console exclusives from original Xbox through Series X|S, appear in your play history regardless of ownership or Game Pass access. This allows you to continue playing games across devices with cloud-powered game saves. Additionally, a new cloud games filter is added to the Xbox PC app library, and a play history section will appear on both PC and console home screens, displaying games played on any Xbox device. This move hints at further integration of PC games in Xbox Cloud Gaming. Microsoft is also exploring streaming PC games via the cloud, aiming to improve game streaming quality and unify the Xbox and PC gaming experience for next-gen consoles.

Leaked official renders of Google's upcoming Pixel 10 reveal that the base model will include a third rear camera, a telephoto lens, alongside the primary sensor and ultrawide camera. This aligns with previous rumors suggesting the addition of the telephoto shooter. However, the Pixel 10 is expected to feature camera sensors similar in quality to the Pixel 9A, potentially to differentiate it from the Pixel 10 Pro. The renders also showcase four color options for the Pixel 10: obsidian (black), indigo (dark blue), frost (grayish blue), and limoncello (bright neon yellow). Google is anticipated to launch the new Pixel lineup, including a dust-proof Pixel 10 Pro Fold and the Pixel Watch 4, at an event scheduled for August 20th.

Google Chrome for iOS now allows users to switch easily between personal and work profiles, keeping data such as browsing history, tabs, and passwords separate. This feature is available through Google’s enterprise software package, enabling employees of companies using Chrome Enterprise to sign in to managed work accounts and toggle between profiles within the browser. IT administrators can monitor security and restrict websites on the work profile. Unlike iOS, Android handles work profiles at the device level across all Google apps, not within the Chrome browser itself. Non-enterprise users cannot switch between multiple Google accounts on mobile browsers, a feature only available on desktop versions.

Fidji Simo, CEO of Instacart Inc., will assume a new executive role at OpenAI starting August 18th, where she will lead the applications division responsible for scaling and growing AI use cases. Reporting directly to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Simo will oversee about one-third of the company with a focus on product and growth, distinct from Altman's focus on research and compute. Simo expressed enthusiasm for AI-driven advancements in healthcare, career coaching, creative expression, and personalized tutoring, while emphasizing the importance of AI empowering all rather than concentrating power among a few. She joined OpenAI's board in March 2024 and will continue as Instacart's CEO until early August earnings are reported, after which she will transition fully to OpenAI.

OpenAI's ChatGPT receives more than 2.5 billion prompts each day, with 330 million of these coming from users in the United States, according to Axios data. This translates to approximately 912.5 billion requests annually. OpenAI confirmed the accuracy of these figures. While ChatGPT's usage still trails Google's 5 trillion annual searches, its rapid growth is significant, with weekly users increasing from 300 million in December to over 500 million in March. Additionally, OpenAI is reportedly developing an AI-powered web browser to compete with Google Chrome and recently introduced ChatGPT Agent, a tool that automates tasks on users' computers.

Further details will be unveiled at the launch event scheduled for August 20th. Google has previously taken a similar approach with the Pixel 9 Pro last year, revealing its design ahead of the full announcement.

Tesla has finally opened its much-anticipated 1950s-style diner and drive-in Supercharger station in Los Angeles. The diner offers classic comfort food such as burgers and fries served in Cybertruck-shaped boxes and milkshakes, accompanied by entertainment on giant screens for customers while charging their vehicles. Notably, a Tesla Optimus robot was seen serving popcorn during a recent soft launch. CEO Elon Musk has expressed plans to expand these diner-supercharger combos to major cities and long-distance Supercharger routes if the concept proves successful.

Mayor Eric Adams has announced that New York City will collaborate with the crime-tracking app Citizen to provide users with location-based real-time public safety alerts. Public safety agencies, including the NYPD, Fire Department, and Emergency Management, will have access to a portal to watch footage shared by Citizen users. This initiative leverages Citizen's partnership with Axon's Fusus platform, enhancing law enforcement's ability to request video footage during incidents. Users can opt-out from sharing videos directly with police, but all posted videos remain publicly accessible. The NYC Public Safety account on Citizen will notify users about safety, weather emergencies, and major incidents based on their location. Citizen allows users to report incidents, share videos, and broadcast live, with alerts sent to nearby devices within seconds of a 911 call or report. While law enforcement can access data with a warrant, Citizen also provides expedited data access during emergencies. Originally launched as "Vigilante" in 2016, Citizen has faced criticism for potentially increasing community fear and controversial use cases but continues to evolve its safety-focused services.
