Microsoftโs Copilot AI is now inside Samsung TVs and monitors
Microsoftโs Copilot AI assistant is officially coming to TVs, starting with Samsungโs 2025 lineup of TVs and smart monitors. With the integration, you can call upon Copilot and ask for movie suggestions, spoiler-free episode recaps, and other general questions.
On TV, Copilot takes on a โfriendly, animated presenceโ that resembles the opalescent Copilot Appearance Microsoft showed off last month, though in a color that makes it look more like a personified chickpea. The beige blob will float and bounce around your screen, while its mouth moves in line with its responses.
Copilot will automatically appear on supported Samsung TVs, where youโll find it within the Samsung Tizen OS homescreen, Samsung Daily Plus, and Click to Search. You can access Copilot by using a voice command or selecting it with your remote. From there, hit the mic button on your remote, and you can start speaking to Copilot.

Telegram 12.0 & Grok Update
Telegram 12.0 was expected to ship with Grok integration, but as of today (Aug 31, 2025) thereโs still no confirmation. The deal appears to have stalled, with no signed agreement or official announcement.
This likely means Grok didnโt make it into 12.0 as planned โ possibly due to negotiations falling through, strategy changes, or other delays.
For now, the future of #Grok on #Telegram remains uncertain.

Google Keeps Chrome Browser but Must Share Search Data
A Washington judge ruled Tuesday that Google won't have to sell its Chrome browser, giving Big Tech a rare win against U.S. antitrust officials, but ordered the company to share search data with competitors to boost online competition.
Alphabet shares jumped 7.2% in after-hours trading as investors welcomed the ruling, which also lets Google continue making profitable payments to Apple that regulators claimed blocked search rivals. Apple shares rose 3%.

Roblox will require age verification for all users to access communication features
Roblox announced that it aims to roll out age estimation technology to all of its users by the end of 2025. Users on the gaming and social network will have to confirm their age in order to access communication features within the platform under the new policy. Roblox initially rolled out an age verification option to teen accounts in July as part of an effort to keep users younger than 13 from accessing select chat features.
In addition to confirming ages for individual accounts, Roblox also said it plans to adopt new systems that will limit communication between adults and minors unless they already know each other offline. Age verification can be completed by providing a selfie that Roblox and its partner will analyze or by submitting an accepted form of identification.
