To celebrate its 50th anniversary, Microsoft hosted a special Copilot event where several new AI features for the Copilot chatbot were announced. Among them, Copilot Podcasts was the feature that caught my attention as I had tried out NotebookLM sometime ago, and it had impressed me with its AI-generated podcast feature. So, it was time to put Microsoft’s Copilot Podcasts feature to the test and see just how realistic the AI-generated podcast sounds.

Thankfully, Copilot Podcasts is already available for users to try right now, which can’t be said for other announced features at the event.

To get started, you can open the Copilot app on Windows, macOS, Android, or iOS, and enter the prompt “create a podcast on…” and Copilot will generate a 4-minute AI podcast within a minute. You can also generate a podcast on Microsoft Copilot’s website (visit).

Once the podcast is ready, you will get a notification on your device, or you can open Copilot’s homepage, where the AI-generated podcast will appear. Now, you can listen to the AI-generated Copilot Podcast. Note that there are no playback speed controls, and you can’t download the AI-generated podcast from Copilot’s interface.

Copilot Podcasts Put to the Test

In my testing, I asked Copilot to create a podcast discussing China’s emergence in AI. Since I cover all things AI at Beebom, I thought it would be a fitting topic to test Copilot’s podcast capabilities. First and foremost, unlike NotebookLM, which sounds very conversational and engrossing, Copilot Podcasts sound more like a text-to-speech conversion.

The Copilot AI voice has a robotic and synthesized tone, lacking natural pauses. There are no expressive cues like “umms” to make the podcast feel truly human-like. Even the interaction between the two AI hosts feels monotonous, at best. There are no interruptions or cross-talk, and sounds like a scripted daily briefing of events.

Sure, the voices do show some emphasis and shifts in tonality, but that’s all the realism you get on Copilot Podcasts. As for conversation depth, well, Copilot Podcasts only touched upon DeepSeek R1‘s development and didn’t go deeper at all. The AI podcast felt like word salad — overly verbose, lengthy monologue, and information density was next to nothing.

In comparison, you can listen to Google’s NotebookLM podcast, which is 20 minutes long (I have attached a shorter audio clip below), and it does a far better job. I took advantage of NotebookLM’s new Discover Sources feature to create a knowledge base on China’s emergence in AI and then generated the podcast.

As you can hear, the podcast sounds pretty natural, and there is a lot of cross-talk between the AI hosts. You can also notice expressive cues and natural pauses. In addition, NotebookLM now lets you interact with the AI hosts, which is awesome for real-time engagement. Not to mention, you can adjust the playback speed and download the audio clip as well.

All in all, Copilot Podcasts feels like a half-baked product in its current form. It lacks realism in voice tonality and is not optimized for natural, free-flowing conversations. Microsoft needs to improve Copilot Podcasts across the board by adding insightful information and enhancing the audio tonality for a more human-like experience.

Introduced first in the Los Santos Drug Wars update, the Gun Van is your black market for armor, weapons, and throwables in GTA Online. To avoid attracting much attention, this notoriously overpowered black market moves to a new location daily. However, that also means it can become a pain for players to track down this weapon armory. But don’t worry; in this GTA Online Gun Van location guide, we will update the location and the items available to purchase. So, without further ado, check out the GTA Online Gun Van location today on April 11, 2025.

After collecting all the love he deserves via wrestling, John Cena stepped into the world of DC as Peacemaker and took the world by storm once again. No one expected the kind of performance he delivered, and after the conclusion of Peacemaker Season 1, fans have been waiting impatiently for the next instalment of our beloved vigilante’s exploits. Now that Peacemaker Season 2 is set to release this August, you must be looking for every piece of information you can get your hands on, and here, find out about the release date, cast, plot, and everything else about Peacemaker Season 2.

What Is the Release Date of Peacemaker Season 2?

Peacemaker Season 2 is set to release on August 21, 2025. Initially, when the DCU was dissolved, the fate of Peacemaker Season 2 was hanging in the balance. However, following that, James Gunn shared an entire roadmap for every release DCU will get, and luckily, Peacemaker’s name was there. Now, since we know the release date, we just have to wait for a few more months to see the upcoming season of this show!

Is There a Trailer for Peacemaker Season 2?

As of now, there is no trailer for Peacemaker Season 2; however, recently, Max posted a montage of their upcoming shows, and in that video, we get to see what you can call a teaser for Season 2. The solo teaser is not available on YouTube, but if you head over to X handle of Max, you can find the clip posted separately. Talking about the teaser, the clip itself does not feature a lot of details, but one thing it does foreshadow is that the upcoming season is going to be quite grand.

What Is the Cast of Peacemaker Season 2?

Peacemaker Season 2 will bring back most of the original cast. We know that John Cena will appear as Peacemaker, and along with him, we will see the return of Danielle Brooks as Leota Adebayo. Steve Agee will also return in the role of John Economos, and Freddie Stroma will be returning as Vigilante.

Moreover, we have confirmation of Sol Rodriguez appearing as Sasha Bordeaux, Tim Meadows as A.R.G.U.S. agent Langston Fleury, and Brey Noelle as the White Rabbit. The biggest cast announcement for the upcoming season was Frank Grillo reprising his role as Rick Flag Sr, which he voiced for the first time in Creature Commandos.

Peacemaker Season 2 Cast List

• John Cena– Peacemaker
• Danielle Brooks– Leota Adebayo
• Steve Agee– John Economos
• Freddie Stroma– Vigilante
• Sol Rodriguez- Sasha Bordeaux
• Tim Meadows – A.R.G.U.S. agent Langston Fleury
• Brey Noelle- White Rabbit
• Frank Grillo– Rick Flag Sr

Is Peacemaker Still Canon?

After the DCEU was dissolved and leadership went to James Gunn, fans of Peacemaker were left surrounded by questions about whether what they saw in season 1 was still canon. However, when James Gunn announced his plans with the DCU, he let the fans know that most of what they saw in Peacemaker Season 1 is canon, and Season 2 is going to address this fact. This is already proven by the confirmed presence of Frank Grillo in Season 2 as well as in the upcoming Superman movie.

What Could Be the Plot of Peacemaker Season 2?

No information whatsoever is available regarding the plot of Peacemaker Season 2 right now. However, since we know that Frank Grillo will appear as Rick Flag Sr., we can assume that there is probably going to be a revenge arc where Rick Flag Sr. will go after Peacemaker to take him down for killing his son, Rick Flag, during the events of Suicide Squad (2021). However, this is just a speculation, so let’s wait for a trailer to come out so we can get an idea of what’s going to happen, and till then, stay tuned with us for more updates!

Running out of ports on your laptop? Xiaomi has just dropped a sleek solution: its new 10-in-1 USB-C Docking Station, designed for users tired of juggling dongles and adapters. Launching via crowdfunding on April 16 at 10 AM on Xiaomi Mall and Youpin, this all-in-one hub is up for grabs at an early bird price of just 179 yuan (~$25)—a solid discount from its regular 199 yuan (~$28).

Designed for Clean Desks and Full Workflows

Wrapped in a brushed aluminum alloy shell, Xiaomi’s new hub combines style with durability. But what sets it apart is the small design touch that makes a big difference: a built-in cable management slot that helps keep your setup clutter-free.

Plug in a single Type-C connector, and you instantly gain 10 ports, including:

• Multiple USB-A ports
• USB-C with fast data and charging
• HDMI (up to 4K @ 60Hz)
• RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet
• 3.5mm headphone jack
• SD and TF card readers

It’s basically a control center in your pocket.

Speed That Keeps Up With You

Need to move large files fast? The Xiaomi 10-in-1 USB-C docking station includes USB 3.0 ports capable of 5Gbps transfer speeds—fast enough to shift a 1GB file in roughly three seconds. Whether you’re a content creator, editor, or just dealing with massive media folders, this hub turns “drag and drop” into something actually quick.

Fast Charging Without the Compromises

A standout feature is its 100W Power Delivery (PD) support. That means you can charge devices at up to 90W, all while using the other ports without sacrificing power. No more choosing between staying connected and staying charged.

4K Video Output for Work or Play

If you’re working with external displays, the HDMI port supports 4K resolution at 60Hz, delivering crisp visuals for video editing, presentations, or streaming. It’s perfect for anyone who needs sharp image quality without lag or stutter.

Stable Wired Connectivity When Wi-Fi Fails

For those who can’t afford a dropped connection, the built-in Gigabit Ethernet port automatically adapts to your network’s best available speed (1000Mbps, 100Mbps, or 10Mbps). This makes it ideal for remote work, gaming, or any situation where a reliable connection is a must.

Works With (Almost) Everything

The hub plays nice with Windows, macOS, Android, and Linux, thanks to its plug-and-play compatibility and hot-swap support—no drivers, no restarts. Just plug it in and go.

One caveat: your laptop needs a full-function Type-C port to unlock all 10 features. If your device has a more limited Type-C implementation, some ports may not function as intended.

OpenAI is rolling out improved memory on ChatGPT to make the AI chatbot more personal and engaging. ChatGPT can now remember more of your past chats so you don’t have to repeat yourself often. While ChatGPT already had memory support, it only referenced ‘saved memories’. Now, with the improved memory support, it can reference all of your past chats.

NYT Wordle is a satisfying and tricky test of vocabulary and logic that challenges players to guess a new five-letter word every day. However, things can get a little too challenging at times, and that probably explains why you’re here. So, if you don’t want to break your word-guessing streak or get too frustrated, take a look at today’s Wordle hints and answer for puzzle #1392 for April 11, 2025, down below!

How to Play Wordle

Wordle is a word puzzle game by The New York Times. You are given six attempts to guess a five-letter word. The letters are highlighted in Yellow, Green, and Grey when you input a word. Yellow denotes that the letter appears in today’s Wordle answer, but it’s not at the right spot. Meanwhile, when a letter turns green, it means you have guessed the right letter in the right position. At last, a grey letter means the letter is not part of today’s answer.

While it may seem that winning at Wordle is easy, it is difficult to get that pesky five-letter word right. To help you out, here are some quick tips on how to play Wordle:

• Open with a strong word – Using the right Wordle starting words rich with multiple vowels and consonants is important. While you can take a look at our dedicated guide, starting words like AISLE, SALTY, and DINER are my go-to choices.
• Pay attention to colors – Keep track of the yellow, green, and grayed-out letters to eliminate incorrect positions and letters. To make every guess count, avoid accidentally repeating letters that have already been eliminated.
• Isolate the vowels – There can be days when your usual starting words don’t help much. In that case, try to test the remaining vowels by using different words.
• Repeating letters is good – Don’t be afraid of repeating letters as history is proof that there are chances the Wordle answer will have one or two letters that repeat themselves.
• Use the Wordlebot – As described above, NYT’s Wordlebot is an intuitive bot that analyzes your responses and compares them against itself. Instilling some healthy competition can help you improve your own Wordle guessing and see what you could have done better.

Additional Hint for Today’s Wordle Answer

If the above-mentioned hints haven’t helped much, here’s the Wordle cheat hint that will definitely get you to the answer. The final hint for today is:

Bow and ____.

What Is Today’s Wordle Answer?

The answer for Wordle today on April 11, 2025, is ARROW.

Meaning of Arrow — A thin, straight stick with a pointed tip and feathers at the other end, shot from a bow.

The Wordle today was easy, mostly because I was thinking straight and didn’t overcomplicate things to only confuse myself. AISLE was the first word I tried, and as A turned green, I saw a ray of hope. However, as the other letters turned grey, that hope rather diminished soon. POUCH gave me an O in yellow while FROCK gave me a green tiled R. Somehow, ARROW came to mind rather instantly, and it turned out to be the Wordle answer for the day.

Why Is Wordle Still So Popular?

Despite over 1,350 puzzles and nearly four years since its initial surge, Wordle is still going strong as a free-to-play word puzzle game that it is. What started as a simple game to pass the time during the pandemic has now become a daily habit for millions of The New York Times readers.

Just like reading your early morning newspaper, Wordle adds some productive value to your daily life as a brainteaser, which explains the incredible player base. Some avid Wordle players even stay up late to solve the puzzle as soon as it releases at 12:00 AM local time.

The fact that there’s a single puzzle on a daily basis that every player tries to solve makes it all the more competitive and challenging. According to a report by The Conversation, just in 2022, Wordle had around a whopping 3 million users across the world. As of 2025, one can only imagine where this number has soared.

That said, if you are one of them, hope the Wordle hints we shared today helped you figure out the answer without having to scroll to the answer.
