Many of the latest laptop processors from Intel, AMD, and Qualcomm have high-performance neural processing units that are supposed to let you run AI applications locally without sending any data to the cloud. But so far Microsoft and PC makers have had a hard time coming up with things that you can actually do with all that on-device AI processing power.

Originally Microsoft's biggest selling point for convincing users to upgrade to a Copilot+ PC was the Recall feature that would track nearly everything you do on a computer to act as a sort of photographic memory. But the rollout was delayed after privacy concerns led the company to retool the feature. Now Microsoft has begun rolling out another AI feature to testers though, and it actually seems like it might be useful: an AI-enhanced search function that lets you look for things on your computer even if you can't remember the name of the file, setting, or even the words in a document.

In other recent tech news from around the web, developers have improved the display controller for Pine64's E Ink tablet and Amazon's Big Spring Sale has begun, with discounts on a wide range of products. Some deals are better than others though, so I've rounded up some of the best actual deals I could find below.

Microsoft is rolling out Local Semantic Search to Windows Insiders with Intel or AMD-powered Copilot+ PCs. It lets you search by description in File Explorer, Windows Search, or Settings. While it runs on-device, you can also disable indexing of some or all folders.
