If you live in a market that current doesn't have access to xbox music pass than the music app is even more basic, it'll just show you collect and give you the player controls etc. It's like half the app compared to those living in the US etc who get Xbox Music as a service. MS better step up their licensing game and get this and Videos out to more countries. I'm tired of missing out on half the services due to copyrights and all that BS.

dude have you tried switching your country to the US under control panel -> Language-> 'change date, time, or number formats' -> 'location' tab-> 'home location'?

i live in Canada (we do get the Xbox music service) and since I've switchedmy home location to the US I've been able to access the US Windows store

I access the store fine, I can get apps and games etc, I'm talking about Xbox Music Pass and any Xbox Videos. Those check my Microsoft ID which is also my Xbox Live ID and is in Greece. If I change my OS locale etc it won't sign into those services till I change it to the same locale my live account is.

wierd. my xbox live/microsoft ID is set to canada and it will still sign me in when i have my local set to US. and the xbox music pass and xbox videos are available to canada, so i haven't noticed a difference there

the only reason i changed my local to US was because there are apps that i can't download/see from the windows store if it's set to canada.

i do agree that this whole copyright limiting outside the US is total BS. it only promotes piracy and doesn't solve the issue.

    • Celebrating Windows XP's 25th anniversary this year

      By carols23 · Posted

      If I could, I would commemorate it the best way possible: Replacing old machines that are still running Windows XP with something more modern, stable and better.     Noone and nothing should be running Windows XP in 2026.
    • Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo by Ivan Jenic Image: Screenshot Google is testing a new reCAPTCHA method that asks you to wave at your camera to prove you're human. So, besides solving puzzles and reading distorted text, you can now use your computer’s camera to pass the verification test. When the hand gesture verification is triggered, your browser asks for camera access and prompts you to perform a simple gesture, like a wave or an open palm. Google says it records a short video of the movement and uses AI to extract 21 hand-knuckle coordinates to complete the verification process. The video is then immediately deleted, and Google swears it doesn't keep it. The process alone can be uncomfortable for people who wouldn’t want their biometric data, which hand scans technically qualify as, recorded. But it gets even more nuanced, as early testers discovered that the new hand-waving reCAPTCHA can be passed with a simple stock image. A user on X tested the new challenge using a stock image of a hand fed through OBS Virtual Camera, and it passed. I wanted to verify it, so I tried the same thing. It took me a few tries and a few stock images, but in the end, I was also able to pass the test. I simply had to readjust the stock image of a generic person waving inside OBS, and Google’s mechanism registered it as a legitimate hand gesture. Once again, it didn’t even have to be a video or an AI-generated hand animation. Given the simplicity of the process, the entire action can be automated in minutes. All it takes is a simple Python script to render the new reCAPTCHA method obsolete. And it doesn’t even have to be an AI bot, which is usually used for solving puzzles and other verification methods. The new reCAPTCHA method is still in its early phase, and Google will, hopefully, update its AI to at least reject still images. However, this incident, combined with users’ initial skepticism about Google’s practices regarding user data, likely won’t make too many people wave at the camera anytime soon.

      Apparently not. I know it is on Edge for business at the moment, but how long will it be before it become on the home version of Edge?
