āŒØļø The New Windows 11 Copilot Key Feature!

Microsoft is changing the way you use your keyboard with the new Copilot key on Windows 11, and weā€™ve got to say itā€™s a pretty big deal!

In fact, this is the first major change to Windows keyboards in 30 years.

This key was initially designed to launch Microsoftā€™s AI assistant, Copilotā€” But now, thereā€™s an exciting change of plan:

Microsoft is now testing a feature that lets you customize the Copilot key to open any app you want!

Yep, you could set it to launch your favorite app, whether itā€™s a productivity tool, browser, or even Spotify.šŸ˜ƒ

However, thereā€™s a small catchā€”the app has to be an MSIX-packaged app that meets certain security standards.

And get this: this new key is part of Microsoftā€™s bigger plan to get users on board with their AI assistant.

But hereā€™s where things get a little tricky: When Microsoft rolled out Copilot Plus PCs earlier this year, they made Copilot into a web app in the latest Windows 11 24H2 update.

It sounds cool, right? But it made Copilot less useful.

For example, you can no longer control system settings like dark mode through the assistant.

So, while the key is new and exciting, Copilot itself lost some of its seamless integration with Windows. Strange, right?

Still, Microsoft seems to have big plans for Copilot, although weā€™re not totally sure what those plans are just yet.

This customization feature is only available to beta testers for now, and if youā€™re one of the lucky ones, you can try it out today.

But if not, then donā€™t sweat itā€”itā€™s only a matter of time before this feature rolls out to everyone.

Itā€™s definitely something to keep on your radarā€”after all, how often do you get to change what a major key on your keyboard does?

šŸ”‹ Microsoft Turns to Nuclear energy for its AI power Needs!

Microsoft just entered into a power purchase agreement to bring the long-closed Three Mile Island nuclear plant back to life.

Constellation, the plant's owner, will invest $1.6 billion to revive it; however, theyā€™ll need approval from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and permits from state and local agencies.

If all goes well, we can expect the plant to be back online by 2028!

Microsoft, in turn, has agreed to purchase power from the plant for 20 years, marking a first-of-its-kind deal for the tech giant.

For context, the plant can generate 837 megawatts of energyā€”enough to power more than 800,000 homesā€”demonstrating the huge amount of power needed for data centers.šŸ¤Æ

That means Microsoft would have exclusive rights to 100 percent of the output that its AI data center needs.

But it doesn't end there ā€“ this agreement also represents a significant step forward in Microsoft's mission to decarbonize the grid and work towards becoming carbon-negative.

Oh, and before we forget: The plant will be renamed the Crane Clean Energy Center in honor of the late Chris Crane, former CEO of Exelon.
