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.

    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.

      I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
