The solution is a subscription to an online service with hundreds upon hundreds of games, like Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, and you can dip your toe into that very deep pool of entertainment for just $17 right now at StackSocial. This is also a stackable deal, which means you can buy and use up to 3 of these discounted membership months, and the offer's good for both new and existing Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers.

US college students can get 3 months of Microsoft Copilot AI free — here's how

Summer break may have just started, but students can plan ahead for fall with this sweet deal. Microsoft is offering US college students a complimentary three-month trial of Microsoft 365 Personal with Copilot AI, generally priced at $9.99 per month. After the trial ends, students can continue for $4.99 per month (a 50% discount), making this one of Microsoft's most aggressive moves yet to bring AI tools into classrooms. This offer includes full Copilot integration in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and OneNote, plus 1 TB of OneDrive storage and Microsoft Defender (available in the U.S. only). Microsoft also guarantees that student data will not be used to train AI models. With ChatGPT, Google Gemini and other rivals targeting students, Microsoft is betting that free access will hook users early. For cash-strapped students, it's a way to test AI-powered tools for research, writing, budget tracking and more within apps they are familiar with and already use. Students hoping to jump on this deal must verify their enrollment with a valid U.S. college email or student ID. For now, the offer is limited to new users enrolled at Title IV-accredited U.S. colleges or universities and excludes current subscribers to the Microsoft 365 Personal student offer. In other words, this is for new users only. Once verified, sign up through the Microsoft 365 Student portal (payment method required) to activate your three-month trial. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. After that, Copilot renews automatically at $4.99 per month. You'll want to send a reminder in ChatGPT Tasks or another platform if you plan to cancel. Word prompt: 'Summarize this document in 3 bullet points.' This one is useful for study notes or quick reviews. Excel prompt: 'Analyze this data and suggest 3 key insights.' This is supportive for students looking to spot trends or prepare reports. OneNote prompt: 'Summarize this lecture note as a study guide.' Students with long notes may find this especially useful when reviewing materials for exams or presentations. Outlook prompt: 'Draft a polite email to my professor asking for an extension.' Common academic or professional requests are done efficiently with this particular prompt. PowerPoint prompt: 'Create a 5-slide presentation from this article.' This prompt saves a ton of time turning content into slides for presentation decks or for studying. This offer is US-only; international students can get the 50% discount but won't receive the free trial. There's also no permanent free tier. Unlike ChatGPT and even Gemini, Copilot requires a subscription after the trial ends. Finally, Copilot works best on a desktop. Some features are limited or unavailable on mobile. Pros: Copilot saves time on research, citations and document formatting. It's also cheaper than ChatGPT Plus ($4.99 per month vs. $20 per month) and fully integrated with Microsoft 365 apps you likely already use. Cons: It doesn't offer advanced coding tools like GitHub Copilot, and it has fewer offline capabilities compared to some of Google's AI tools. If you rely on Word and Excel, this trial is a no-brainer. More casual users may find that free options, such as ChatGPT 3.5 or Gemini, are sufficient for their needs. This student deal signals a broader AI-in-education arms race, so we can expect to see more offers from rivals soon.

Allison Williams wants Girls reunion

Allison Williams would "love" to be part of a Girls reunion. The 37-year-old actress shot to fame playing Marnie in the HBO series, which ran for six seasons until 2017, and she has backed former co-star Zosia Mamet's calls for a spin-off series because she is so keen to get the cast "back together". Asked if there would be a Girls reunion, she told The Guardian newspaper: "I would love it. I know that Zosia has been pushing for a spin-off, which I would voraciously consume and try to elbow my way into. "I kind of want us all back together. "It was so fun and it was the beginning of my career, so I didn't have the perspective I have now on just how lucky we were, or to know how unusual a creative experience it was.' Despite her enthusiasm, Allison initially struggled with viewers thinking she was similar to her narcissistic alter ego on the show. She said: 'I really desired to put distance between us, because I thought that was the kind of acting everybody respected – like, I'm wearing a prosthetic nose and I gained 40lbs, or whatever. "And here [our characters] were, who looked basically like we looked and sounded like we sounded, but crucially said and did things that we would never do. It always felt weird that, since we didn't transform ourselves in some way, people weren't buying us playing characters.' Girls faced a lot of criticism, including for a lack of racial diversity, but Allison thinks any "valid" viewpoints got lost amidst a tide of unfair comments. She said: "[It felt like there were] a gazillion think pieces about every episode that we did – and most thought we all took ourselves too seriously. We were all pretty privileged people who were the leads of this HBO show that was definitely skewering our own, but we weren't given credit for that, or for being in on it." Of the unjust comments directed their way, she added: "The shame is that, when it is coupled with misogyny and fatphobia and everything, the valid criticism gets lost. "We were easy targets, I get it.'
