oh like this Windows 10's global market
share has risen to 70% of desktop
Windows systems the same month that Windows 11 fell to under 26% its lowest
market share since last September implying that a good chunk of Windows
users took a Peak at the future and did not like what they saw ads everywhere
crying infants they're crying about the ads this stat comes from the
appropriately named stat counter and yes it's somewhat unsurprising when we're
talking about an operating system that needs a plug-in to remove all of the
baked in ads I don't know maybe Microsoft hasn't prioritized fixing
Windows 11 because they're so focused on security as evidenced by a leaked Memo
from CEO Satia nadela commanding employes to prioritize security over
literally everything else even support for legacy features Fe which I guess
includes a Settings app that I can use without getting so frustrated I end up
speaking to my wife in an elevated tone we've talked about this Microsoft is so
super serial about security that they've said some of their Executives pay will
be tied to whether the company hits certain security Milestones they may
have just missed one as a recent update to both Windows 10 and 11 broke some
customers vpns Microsoft it it might
just be time to cut your losses and move on to Windows 12 what's that first
you're going to try releasing a bunch of new Windows 11 laptops and branding them
AI PCS with a special co-pilot key to justify higher prices okay worth a shot
AMD revealed in their q1 earnings report that sales of the company's gaming
products including desktop radi on graphics cards as well as custom
processors made for consoles and handhelds is down 48% compared to last
year a figure that includes a 33% decline from Q4 2023 now you could say
hey It Ain't Easy Being Green but AMD is
team red being green would be much easier in this case NVIDIA is having a
great time while AMD has managed to squeeze some impressive performance into
the chips powering the steam deck and its imitators their strategy for desktop
gpus seems to have consisted of launching a card for too high of a price
and then reducing it until it's maybe worth buying instead of the NVIDIA
alternative but there is a light on the horizon mostly pretty accurate leaker
Kepler says that AMD's NextGen rdna 4
gpus will feature a brand new Ray tracing system as opposed to rdna 3
which was a simpler iterative improvement over rdna 2 johanes Kepler
fell off wait till the investors hear that
upcoming product will be better than current product that'll turn things
around and apple the second most valuable company in the world also had a
bit of a sad earnings call compared to last year the tech Giants overall Q2
revenue is down 4% to
9.75 billion no it's not right they give
me my blue bubbles fortunately for Apple their earnings are actually slightly
better than analysts anticipated given how poorly iPhones iPads and wearables
have been selling so Apple stock actually shot up in the wake of the news
Apple taking $110 billion dollar worth of their own stock off the market and
the largest share bu back in US history may have also had something to do with
that but who can say it's a bit weird to see apple making less money than usual
but to be fair they appear to be missing out on their cut of inapp purchases from
Tik Tok if we can trust these screenshots of the app directing users
to go purchase coins on Tik tock.com Instead This Week Apple also decided to
skip collecting its controversial because it's stupid core technology fee
from developers of Free iOS apps in the
EU instead of demanding a 50 Cent cut of
every free app install look it made sense at the time apple is also giving
developers who meet a certain smallness threshold 3 years of grace before they
have to start paying up yep Apple's basically poor now so it's time to
launch some new iPads at the Apple event next week where the company's expected
to reveal new iPad pros and iPad Airs possibly with an M4 chip and if the
customers don't go for those well the Apple can always just press the
makeer button again it's always there and you can press the make sexy again

I'll just oh oh I I already that that was Intel is apparently making yet
another change to their processor naming scheme reliable leaker Raichu claims the
new aerol Lake s desktop lineup will feature the core Ultra 9 285k core Ultra
7 265k and and core Ultra 5
255k excuse that's right Intel decided
to make their desktop processor names the ones people could feasibly
understand sound like they're mobile processor names the names that are about
as comprehensible as a tongass Welshman after his 10th beer I mean shouldn't go
that far and that's not even a fair comparison because that Welshman
wouldn't cost hundreds of dollars to hang out with in fact he'd probably pay
for a couple of your drinks he's a nice guy okay well there we go yeah but who
stole his tongue Nintendo is is continuing to dmca anyone and everyone
they feel like it's Nintendo's world and
we just try to play games in it the company filed a single notice at GitHub
which triggered a chain reaction that took down
8,535 forks of the Yuzu emulator in
addition to attempting to wipe every trace of Yuzu from the internet Nintendo
is also going after Mig switch a flash
cartridge for the Nintendo switch console at least 75 sit reselling the
product have been de-indexed from Google search at Nintendo's request and while
the company carries out this bureaucratic carpet bombing Yuzu and Mig
switch's respective Alternatives Ryu Jinks and unlock switch are just kind of
hanging out AKA trembling in fear hiding
in the bunker hackers be hacking we all know that but apparently sometimes two
hackers will wind up trying to compromise the same router at the same
time which they typically deal with by either one letting the other use the
router for a fee or both finding their own way to break into the device and
using it at the same time now that's apparently because even rival cyber
criminals have a shared interest in there being lots and lots of compromised
routers and also they're in love with each other it's a LoveHate relationship
clao what are you doing here I'm hacking
the bank I told you I never wanted to see you again now that's all according
to a report even the Spanish accent from cyber security researchers Fernando mer
maybe I don't know and uh F
hackbardt so I was way off I will hack
all the boards in the world following the leak of the Android Launcher app for
the rabbit R1 not an Android AI phone
thing a software dev has added insult to injury by reverse engineering the R1
software into a progressive web app and then demoed it running on an iPhone the
APK was also dissected by the team at emerg tools.com who confirmed that yes
the R1 runs Android along with some other findings look I just hope the
rabbit R1 goes down in history as the most beautiful cool looking desirable
thing that is just a phone but worse in history it was $200 and a lot of people
wanted it and bought it and then we moved on and Boston Dynamics has given
their unsettling spot Robo dog a friendly new look adding muppet-like
eyes ears and sparkly fur though its spindly legs still end in the usual
rubber door stop Nubs it's giving
horrifying cyborg from halflife the company even had spot's new drag Persona
Sparkles perform a short skit SL dance
routine with the original SpotBot the routine was apparently programmed into
the robots using choreographer a dance system that Boston Dynamics made for
customers in the entertain entainment industry I don't know I'm I'm not sure
I'd feel better after getting disemboweled by a rogue dog bot if it
then gloated About It by moonwalking away from my shattered body oh that's
cute but I'll be equally shattered if you don't come back on Monday for more
Tech news emotionally and physically it it it
