Microsoft has made its AI-powered design tool, known as Designer, widely available to users of the Edge browser in the United States. With this new integration, users can conveniently access Designer directly from Edge's sidebar, eliminating the need to open a separate tab or software program.
After its initial launch last year, Microsoft took a step further in April by announcing the integration of Designer into the Edge browser. This enhancement enables users to effortlessly create various designs, including social media posts, flyers, greeting cards, invitations, and more – all within the confines of Edge's sidebar, according to The Verge report.
Upon entering a prompt, Designer's AI technology presents a grid of suggested designs complete with text and images. Users have the flexibility to customize these designs to their preferences, whether it involves replacing an image, adding an illustration, or modifying the font. Additionally, the tool employs DALL-E-powered text-to-image generation, allowing users to craft pictures for incorporation into their designs.
While these features are already accessible through Microsoft's standalone Designer web application, the integration with Edge offers distinct advantages. This inclusion streamlines the process of seamlessly sharing designs via email, Facebook, or Instagram, eliminating the need to navigate through multiple windows. Furthermore, this move positions Microsoft Designer to compete with other AI-powered design tools like Canva, which have already begun incorporating similar features.
It's worth noting that Microsoft Designer remains in its preview stage, and there is no definitive timeline for its full release. To access the tool, users can update their Edge browser and then select the "plus" icon located on the far right side of the screen. By toggling on "Designer (Preview)," the tool will appear in the sidebar.
Beyond the integration of Designer into Edge, Microsoft has introduced several updates to Bing Chat within the browser. These updates empower users to instruct the chatbot to perform various actions, such as organizing tabs related to specific topics or retrieving passwords from different browsers.

The Kirin 9000S found in Huawei’s latest flagship smartphone, the Mate 60 Pro 5G, would not have been possible without the involvement of SMIC, a Chinese chipmaker that leveraged its second-generation 7nm process to mass produce the SoC. However, one U.S. congressman believes that stricter sanctions should be placed on both SMIC and Huawei as the trade between them should not have happened.

The Elder Scrolls VI is now in early development, Bethesda has confirmed. Speaking to Spanish publication Vandal, Bethesda's Head of Publishing Pete Hines confirmed that while the hype for Starfield draws ever so close, some developers at the studio have been working on the Tamriel fantasy sequel, which has now left the pre-production stage. Both Starfield and The Elder Scrolls 6 were revealed at the 2018 E3 event, with the former sci-fi RPG being way ahead in the release pipeline. For now, Bethesda is fully focused on its launch and potential post-launch support, and therefore, it'll be at least a few years before we hear any new details about TES 6.

These are not decisions to take lightly; committing to a show is inviting it into your home, heart, and head for several hours at least.
