However, the company has seen “promising results” with its ad experiments, chief business officer Philipp Schindler said on yesterday’s earnings call. It’s also turning on AI Mode ads for more people and in more scenarios: ahead of that call, Google announced that it’s bringing ads in AI Mode to new countries and launching ads in follow-up queries in AI Mode in the US.

GTA VI is Edge magazine’s cover story.

It’s packed with details and worth reading in full. There’s a lot of fascinating stuff about the game’s systems and seemingly incredible level of detail, but I was most intrigued by a tidbit about how quitting crime is a “a fundamental theme” of the game’s story: > “These games, maybe some people think, ‘Oh, they’re power fantasies’,” Nelson says. “Sure. But what if these characters want something else?” [Link: Grand Theft Auto VI exclusive – The state that never sleeps | https://www.gamesradar.com/edge/gtavi-cover/ | GamesRadar+]

Windows 11 can perform a full system reinstall via the cloud.

The KB5127936 update includes a cloud rebuild feature that restores the OS and your device drivers from Windows Update when your PC is unable to boot. It requires an internet connection, but spares you from needing to keep a recovery USB drive handy, and doesn’t relying on the integrity of the current installation.

Samsung’s expecting the RAM shortage to last until at least 2028.

Memory executive Jaejune Kim said in the company’s latest quarterly earnings call that “tight supply conditions” will continue in 2028, driven by demand from AI. As it predicted, Samsung reported record quarterly revenue of 195.3 trillion Korean Won ($146.3 billion), and said its 2027 supply of HBM RAM is already sold out.

LA is just replacing Flock with a different company’s license plate readers.

In July, the LAPD suspended its use of Flock’s cameras over concerns about how the company was handling its data. Now it’s rolling out hundreds of ALPRs from competitor Axon. The company has so far escaped the backlash Flock faced, but it’ll likely face growing scrutiny as it fills the gaps left by canceled Flock contracts.

Mistral AI has officially released its Large 4 (Le Chonk) model.

After making Large 4 available in a public preview earlier this month, Mistral is now releasing an improved version to everyone, which it says ranks as the “best open-weight model for coding.” The model offers advancements in cybersecurity-related tasks, like creating patches or reproducing vulnerabilities, and is more likely to refuse “malicious cyber requests” compared to other open models, according to Mistral.
