Research by [IDC](https://www.idc.com/about/) for chip maker [AMD](https://www.amd.com/) looks at how enterprise IT decision makers are adapting their strategy as high-performance AI PCs begin shipping.
AI PCs feature specialized neural processing units designed to enable AI at the edge. They combine with powerful CPUs and GPUs and are typically built as a single system on a chip, enabling local AI models.

Looking for a way to protect your PC from the dreaded specter of data loss or system corruption? The most effective strategy involves backing up both data and your Windows system, and the best free tool for the job is [Hasleo Backup Suite 5.2 Free](https://www.downloadcrew.com/article/44655/hasleo_backup_suite).
Windows’ own backup tools aren’t really fit for purpose, while our previous backup tool of choice -- Macrium Reflect -- dropped its free tier a few years ago. That was forgivable, but we draw the line at switching to a subscription model. Thankfully, Hasleo Backup Suite offers a comprehensive -- and completely free -- alternative.

**Six-hundred-thirty-eight in a series.** Welcome to this week's overview of the best apps, games and extensions released for [Windows 10](https://betanews.com/topic/windows-10/) and [Windows 11](https://betanews.com/topic/windows-11/) on the Microsoft Store and elsewhere in the past seven days.
Microsoft announced the [end of the Remote Desktop app](https://betanews.com/2025/03/11/microsoft-is-killing-off-the-remote-desktop-app-and-replacing-it-with-something-with-known-limitations/) for Windows this week. The app, which is available as a Microsoft Store download, is being replaced by the Windows App for Windows. The change appears a bit hurried, as some features are not supported by the new app yet, but there are workarounds.

For many years now, Linux users looking to block ads have needed to piece together a mixture of browser extensions, DNS-based filtering, and network-wide tools (such as Pi-hole). While these solutions certainly help, none of them offer complete system-wide protection.
Yeah, with Windows and macOS users having access to various tools for years, Linux users have mostly had to rely on workarounds. That’s where AdGuard for Linux comes in! Yes, folks, we _finally_ have a dedicated ad blocker that works across all browsers and applications!

Passwords are an essential part of our digital lives, yet many people still use weak or simple combinations of letters and numbers that can be cracked in just a few seconds.
A new report from [Safety Detectives](https://www.safetydetectives.com/), based on analysis of a 2.5TB database containing passwords compromised through data breaches and malware attacks across 44 countries, looks at the current state of password habits, to highlight how these practices have evolved over time.

Increasing amounts of regulation are creating an issue for businesses as they seek to ensure compliance whilst still delivering on their core activities. This is leading many to boost the size of their security teams.
We spoke to Jay Trinckes, CISO of [Thoropass](https://thoropass.com/), who believes that using AI, with its ability to analyze vast amounts of data quickly and accurately, will be key to bridging this gap without the need for massively expanded staffing.

Well, folks, ADATA has announced the SC730 -- a super-compact external solid state drive that features both USB-C and USB-A connectors. Weighing just 7.8g and measuring a mere 36mm in length, this SSD is smaller than many USB flash drives but delivers speeds up to 600MB/s.
The SC730’s dual-interface design means it works with everything from laptops and tablets to smartphones and gaming consoles like the PlayStation 5 and Xbox. ADATA is also highlighting its compatibility with iPhone 15 and newer models, letting users back up photos and videos directly without needing extra adapters.

It’s a fact that over [](https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_reports/RRA2680-1.html)[80 percent](https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_reports/RRA2680-1.html) of AI projects fail. Not because of AI’s potential, but because businesses prioritize minor use cases over real transformation. Automated insights and meeting summaries may be impressive, but AI only drives impact when seamlessly integrated into workflows, turning insights into action.
Deploying AI successfully isn’t simple, and organizations are complex. Effective AI deployment requires a clear framework for human oversight. AI should usually enhance human decision-making, providing targeted, explainable, and interactive insights. But in some cases -- especially when decisions are time-sensitive or involve vast amounts of data -- humans cannot oversee every output in real time. This raises a key question: when should humans be ‘in the loop,’ actively making decisions, and when should they be ‘over the loop,’ overseeing AI without direct intervention? Getting this balance right is crucial for both AI’s effectiveness and its responsible use.

A new survey of over 900 security decision makers across the US, Europe and Australia, finds 60 percent of security teams are small, with fewer than 10 members. But despite their size, 72 percent report taking on more work over the past year, and an impressive 88 percent are meeting or exceeding their goals.
The study, carried out by [IDC](https://www.idc.com/) for AI-powered workflow company [Tines](https://www.tines.com/), also finds security leaders are bullish about AI with 98 percent embracing it and a mere five percent believing AI will replace their job outright.

ViewSonic has just rolled out the ColorPro VP2788-5K, and this 27-inch monitor should absolutely be on your radar! The display features a 5K (5120x2880), plus a 99 percent DCI-P3 color gamut.
Mac users should love how well this monitor plays with macOS, offering what ViewSonic calls “Retina-like” sharpness. Of course, this isn’t just for Apple fans -- Windows users will get the same experience.

Chinese AI models (like DeepSeek) are outperforming US models like Meta Llama in specific categories such as sensitive information disclosure according to a new AI Trust Score introduced by [Tumeryk](https://tumeryk.com/).
It evaluates AI models across nine key factors, including data leakages, toxic content, truthfulness, and bias. This enables CISO’s to ensure their AI deployments are secure, compliant, and trustworthy, and offers developers solutions for addressing any issues in their AI applications.

If your printer has been spontaneously printing at random, you’re not alone – and you can almost certainly blame a wonky Windows update from Microsoft.
The company has acknowledged a strange print issue affecting some users of Windows 10 and Windows 11 who installed recent updates for the operating systems. The peculiar behavior affects USB connected dual-mode printers that support both USB Print and IPP Over USB protocols and Microsoft has been forced to resort to a Known Issue Rollback (KIR).

The developers behind AcreetionOS have a few questions for you. “Have you been wanting to switch away from Windows? Are you looking for something that just works?” If the answer to both of those is yes, their brand new operating system might be just what you’re after.
We’ve been using the Arch Linux based AcreetionOS for a few days now, and while the user interface could use a bit of polish (it’s still _very new_, so that’s understandable), it’s a solid OS that’s easy to use and, yes, it really does just work.
