Tech Updates: Windows 11, Surface, Unity, YouTube, Apple, and 3D Printing

Microsoft announced a generative AI feature called co-pilot for Windows 11, with a new logo.

There have been previous versions of co-pilot introduced, including GitHub co-pilot and Microsoft 365 co-pilot.

OpenAI's newly announced Dolly 3, which will be integrated into Microsoft products, is expected to enhance co-pilot.

🔑 Dolly3 AI will be able to generate text and create novel images.

💻 Microsoft announced updates to their Surface products, including the Surface Laptop Studio and Surface Laptop Go 3.

📊 The new Surface Hub 3 offers hardware upgrades and can be purchased as a complete unit or a modular pack.

⭐ Former Surface lead Penos Pan left Microsoft after the company started cutting staff and pulling back on experimental devices like Surfice headphones and Surface Pro X.
