In April, Microsoft will be rolling out a full-screen "Xbox mode" to all Windows 11 PCs, including laptops, desktops, and tablets. The move follows last week's confirmation of its next-generation Xbox console, known internally as Project Helix, which will be capable of running both Xbox titles and PC games. The Verge reports: Technically, you've been able to try the Xbox Full Screen Experience (FSE) in preview since November 2025, if you were part of both the Windows Insider and Xbox Insider Programs. But it needed work, as well as a better name. When Microsoft originally shipped it on the Asus-designed Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X handhelds, we were clear: it didn't meaningfully turn a PC experience into an easy-to-use Xbox one. But if Microsoft is putting its full weight behind PC as the future of Xbox gaming, perhaps that will change change.

Grammarly has disabled its Expert Review feature after backlash from writers whose names were used to present AI-generated feedback without their permission. Superhuman (formerly Grammarly) CEO Shishir Mehrotra wrote in a LinkedIn post that the company will disable Expert Review while they "reimagine" the feature: Back in August, we launched a Grammarly agent called Expert Review. The agent draws on publicly available information from third-party LLMs to surface writing suggestions inspired by the published work of influential voices.
Over the past week, we received valid critical feedback from experts who are concerned that the agent misrepresented their voices. This kind of scrutiny improves our products, and we take it seriously. As context, the agent was designed to help users discover influential perspectives and scholarship relevant to their work, while also providing meaningful ways for experts to build deeper relationships with their fans. We hear the feedback and recognize we fell short on this. I want to apologize and acknowledge that we'll rethink our approach going forward.
After careful consideration, we have decided to disable Expert Review while we reimagine the feature to make it more useful for users, while giving experts real control over how they want to be represented -- or not represented at all.
We deeply believe in our mission to solve the "last mile of AI" by bringing AI directly to where people work, and we see this as a significant opportunity for experts. For millions of users, Grammarly is a trusted writing sidekick -- ever-present in every application, ready to help. We're opening up this platform so anyone can build agents that work like Grammarly -- expanding from one sidekick to a whole team. Imagine your professor sharpening your essay, your sales leader reshaping a customer pitch, a thoughtful critic challenging your arguments, or a leading expert elevating your proposal. For experts, this is a chance to build that same ubiquitous bond with users, much like Grammarly has. But in this world, experts choose to participate, shape how their knowledge is represented, and control their business model. That future excites me, and I hope to build it with experts who want to develop it alongside us.

DEN HAAG (ANP) - De helft van de ondernemers in Nederland die met het buitenland handelen, heeft last van het beleid van de Amerikaanse president Donald Trump. Ondernemers ervaren zijn handelsbeleid als hun grootste geopolitieke uitdaging. Dat meldt de Rijksdienst voor Ondernemend Nederland (RVO) in zijn jaarlijkse onderzoek over internationale handel.
In het afgelopen jaar heeft Trump meerdere keren gedreigd handelspartners als de EU en bepaalde sectoren importheffingen op te leggen. Dit zorgt volgens de RVO bij 40 procent van de ondervraagden voor meer onzekerheid in de handelsrelatie. Daarnaast krijgen bijna drie op de tien ondernemers te maken met hogere kosten en zien bijna twee op de tien de export naar de Verenigde Staten teruglopen door Trumps beleid.
Ook hebben ondernemers nog altijd last van de oorlog tussen Rusland en Oekraïne. Het gaat om 40 procent van de 1162 ondernemers die meededen aan het onderzoek. Wel neemt de invloed elk jaar af. In 2022, het jaar dat de oorlog begon, ging het nog om 62 procent. Verder zegt 44 procent van de ondernemers digitale dreigingen te ervaren, vooral op het gebied van cybersecurity en databeveiliging.
Positieve punten
Ondernemers zien ook positieve punten. Ondanks de geopolitieke spanningen en economische onzekerheden blijft het Nederlandse bedrijfsleven positief over de exportvooruitzichten, constateert de RVO. Van de ondervraagde ondernemers geeft 79 procent aan erop te vertrouwen dat hun export in de nabije toekomst groeit. Dat sluit volgens de rijksdienst aan bij de ontwikkelingen in 2025. Het exportvolume van 45 procent van de respondenten is gestegen vergeleken met 2024.
Sommige ondernemers zien daarnaast kansen door de ontwikkelingen in de wereld. Een kwart wijst naar de hogere defensie-uitgaven om aan de verhoogde NAVO-norm te voldoen. Daarbij gaat het onder meer over het leveren van textiel aan Defensie en hulp bij het aanschaffen van groot materieel, zoals onderzeeboten.
Een woordvoerster van de RVO laat weten dat de ondernemers afgelopen december zijn ondervraagd. Dat is dus nog voordat de Iranoorlog begon.
