Microsoft could launch the next-generation Xbox console sometime in 2027, AMD CEO Lisa Su has revealed during the semiconductor companys latest earnings call. Valve is on track to start shipping its AMD-powered Steam Machine early this year, she said, while Microsofts development of an Xbox with a semi-custom SOC from AMD is progressing well to support a launch in 2027. While it doesnt necessarily mean Microsoft is releasing a new Xbox console next year, that seems to be the companys current goal. Xbox president Sarah Bond announced Microsofts multi-year partnership with AMD for its consoles in mid-2025. Based on Bonds statement back then, Microsoft is embracing the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning in future Xbox games. She also said that the companies are going to co-engineer silicon across devices, in your living room and in your hands, implying the development of future handheld consoles. Leaked documents from the FTC vs. Microsoft court battle revealed in the past that Microsoft was planning to make the next Xbox a hybrid game platform, which combines local hardware and cloud computing. The documents also said that Microsoft was planning to release the next Xbox in 2028. Whether the company has chosen to launch the new Xbox early remains to be seen, but it is possible when the Xbox X and S were released in 2020, and they havent sold as well as the Xbox One.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/gaming/xbox/amd-suggests-the-next-gen-xbox-will-arrive-in-2027-052707822.html?src=rss

Google might have been officially ruled to have a monopoly, but we're still a long way from figuring out exactly what that determination will change at the tech company. Today, the US Department of Justice filed notice of a plan to cross-appeal the decision last fall that Google would not be required to sell off the its Chrome browser. The agency's Antitrust Division posted about the action on X. According to Bloomberg, a group of states is also joining the appeal filing. At the time of the 2025 ruling, the Justice Department had pushed for a Chrome sale to be part of the outcome. Judge Amit Mehta denied the request from the agency. "Plaintiffs overreached in seeking forced divesture of these key assets, which Google did not use to effect any illegal restraints," Mehta's decision stated. However, he did set other restrictions on Google's business activities, such as an end to exclusive deals for distributing some services and a requirement to share select search data with competitors.Google has already filed its own appeal over this part of its ongoing antitrust battle. Of course, the tech giant is hoping to get off the hook with fewer penalties rather than the heavier ones the DOJ is seeking.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/big-tech/doj-and-states-appeal-google-monopoly-ruling-to-push-for-harsher-penalties-against-the-company-235115249.html?src=rss

In Colombia, where school uniforms are mandatory and positioned as tools for equality, menstruation care brand Somos Martina has taken that principle to its logical next step: integrating period underwear directly into the official uniform.Across Latin America, 25% of girls regularly miss school because they lack reliable period care. Launched as a trial at Bogotá's Institución Educativa Mayor de Mosquera with backing from Colombia's Vice Minister of Education, the Period Uniform shifts menstrual equity from ad hoc distribution programs to standard practice. By listing period underwear alongside socks and shirts on the required items list, schools make protection standard rather than supplemental.The approach leverages existing systems rather than inventing new ones. Schools already procure uniforms; adding period underwear to that supply chain makes access automatic and economically sustainable. Lasting up to three years with 12-hour protection, the product outperforms disposable period products on both affordability and environmental impact. Gynecologist Dr. Laura Gil emphasizes its suitability for young users: non-invasive, comfortable, and free from the irritation and health risks associated with tampons or pads.
