This week was important when Microsoft was 50 years old.
To make up for all this and the other biggest stories of the week, we gathered them here. There is a rapid summary of each story and links to more in -depth reading if you are desperate to know more.
Once you are aware of the news, be sure to consult our choices for the 7 new films and television programs to broadcast this weekend (April 4).
7. Microsoft was 50 years old – and celebrated with a large co -pilot upgrade
Few technological companies have lived long enough to celebrate their golden anniversary, but the Grisonnant Microsoft technology giant has taken this impressive step this week. Rather than sitting with a well-deserved old days or embarrassing his grandchildren with a chicken dance, he rather announced a large upgrade to his assistant Copilot AI.
Copilot is now transformed by a fairly standard generative AI chatbot in a full companion to compete with Chatgpt and Google Gemini. Well, this is theory anyway – the new co -pilot now has a memory to help him “learn who you are deep”, while mobile applications can use the camera of your smartphone to help him understand what you see.
Does this seem useful and scary, but will Copilot have the stay of stay of Windows, Word or even Clipipy? Time will tell us – We will let you know in 2075.
6. Nintendo overturned (almost) everything on switch 2
This week, we went by hand with Nintendo Switch 2, which should be launched in just a few months on June 5, 2025. The new console has a number of significant improvements compared to its predecessor. These include the management of 4K resolution on television and 1080p on the pocket computer. We can also expect a variable refresh rate support, 256 GB of storage space and image frequencies up to 120 images per second for supported games.
The Nintendo Switch 2 is at the price of $ 429.99 / £ 395.99 $ 699.95 at the console in itself. A package that includes a digital copy of Mario Kart World can also be purchased for $ 499.99 / £ 429.99 / $ 769.95 in. Although prices can increase, at least in the United States, because Nintendo has announced that it delays pre-orders from Nintendo Switch 2 in response to Trump’s recent prices.
Many official devices and accessories have been announced. A camera for the new GameChat feature will be sold separately and can be connected to the USB-C ports of the Switch 2. We also get a Pro 2 controller and a wireless Nintendo Gamecube controller who will be compatible with Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack of the next GameCube Gamecube 2 game library.
5. Nintendo also presented the range of Switch 2 software
In addition to the revelation of the Nintendo Switch 2 equipment, we also obtained an overview of all the software to come in the new console later this year.
The title was obviously the biggest launch title of the Switch 2: Mario Kart World. This interpretation of the open world of the Karting title is larger and better in all ways based on our overview, with new delicious courses and a large card to cross.
The other strokes of the window included Donkey Kong BananzaNew (although memory) Silk song Details, a look at Duskbloods – An exclusive title from the Switch 2 – and the arrival of the GameCube classics via the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack service.
The only drawback is that games become more expensive Mario Kart World From $ 79.99 / £ 75.99. Without forgetting that Nintendo is the charge for Welcome visit – An interactive instructions manual he designed for Switch 2.
4. Chatgpt had a week of roller coaster
It was a hell of a week for Openai. He launched things last week by launching the generation of native images inside Chatgpt. Previously, he relied on Dall-E for the images, but now he could do them himself and do them better. People quickly realized that it was great to imitate the style of the power studio of anime Ghibli and a craze for Ghibli-Studio style images Ghibli-who struck the Internet, which led to Openai servers in the fusion while 1 million new users registered in an hour. Chatgpt has dropped at least three times this week.
The melting servers were not the only problem of Openai, many people questioning the legality of the production of art in the copyright style of the Ghibli studio. Should an AI be authorized to reproduce a meticulous approach to the founder of the founder of Studio Ghibli, Hayao Miyazaki?
It is also strongly rumoring that deep reasoning, the very popular agent research capacity found in Chatgpt Pro and Chatgpt Plus will arrive on the free chatgpt level very shortly after a member of the technical staff of Openai has revealed the information in an online discussion. Hopefully the servers will be able to manage it if and when it happens.
3. Cinemacon 2025 gave us film glimpses in Gogo
Cinemacon 2025 gave us four days of showcase presentations of the biggest names in Hollywood, notably Walt Disney Studios, Paramount Pictures, Universal Pictures, DreamWorks, Focus Functions, Lionsgate, Warner Bros. Discovery, Amazon MGM Studios And Sony Pictures.
There are so many things we could talk about, but some protruding facts include the Spider-Man: New day Title and date reveal, the John Wick 5 Announcement, four The Beatles The films arrived in 2026, and we obtained the first images of Wicked Part Two, Avatar: Fire & Ash, And Tron: Ares.
2. We saw the new high -end Sony OLED TV in action
Sony unveiled the new televisions he came in 2025, and probably the juicy is the Sony Bravia 8 II – A follow -up both on the Sony Bravia 8 Mid -Drange OLED OLED And The Sony A95L QD-Oled high-end.
Sony did not reveal the prices, but said it would be cheaper than the A95L, although it is a QD-Oled television, using the last generation panel (the same in the Samsung S95F). With the new generation panel, it will be brighter than any precedent Sony OLED, and should have richer colors. It will also be the only way to get the most upscale QD screen with a brilliant finish, rather than the 2.0 finish without matte cuts used by Samsung.
If the Bravia 8 II can reach the same price type as the LG G5 and the Samsung S95F – rather than coming much more expensive, as A95L did – then we could be on something very special of Sony.
1. Garmin’s new subscription caused chaos
Garmin unveiled a new and extremely Unpopular subscription platform, Garmin Connect +. The company claims that its free experience is going nowhere, but that did not prevent furious users from protesting the new subscription of $ 7.
For monthly costs, Garmin promises users to six remuneration features, notably Active Intelligence, an agent propelled by AI which theoretically gives you more personalized information on your training and your performance.
Generally, fans of the brand are upset by movement because the boys are often very expensive, which makes the additional cost of a subscription more difficult to bear. There is also a lot of speeches on the fact that the subscription itself is very thin, and does not seem to offer enormous value to users with the cost.
Whatever way you cut it, the launch of Garmin Connect + has been a disaster for the company, and with users already stretched on an important breakdown and premium devices left in the cold with regard to the software, the launch could not have been timed.
