I finally have Windows banished to a VM, only to be awoken for the 3 times a year I need a desktop version of PowerPoint.

I'm with you. 99% of the way there.

Until the EU sues and forces them to have an option to actually remove it.

Cool. But no it doesn't. Ive heard enough from him that I can imagine it just fine.

There's a new proof of concept malware that when an AI processes it causes arbitrary code execution and spreads itself to everyone on the victims email list.

Yes please put more of this crap into every crevice of the OS.

This seems like it might be a perfect use case for Tailscale. The open source version of the control plane is called Headscale but you'd have to host it in a vps somewhere if you wanted to use it.

Cut out the middleman and get some rollerblade wheels for the chair with sleeve bearings. They go over short carpet and hardwood floor and don't cause any damage.

XBOX has seen the writing on the wall. People that want a console want a PlayStation. Everyone else wants a Steam deck or a PC and everyone else wants a switch.

But Game Pass makes all of that irrelevant. With game pass they don't have to sell hardware at all which always involves taking a loss on hardware.

I figure the next thing we are going to see from them is a thin client that can stream games from XBOX Live+ Me Edition. For 39.99 a month you get Xbox Live and Game Pass and your games get streamed directly from Microsofts datacenter. On the other side, Game Pass for PC will be 30 for local play and 40 to stream and then in 2026 the Xbox handheld will launch which will be a Qualcomm AV1 decoder/Wifi Chip with an X on it that starts at $199, and includes 6 months of Game pass+.

This is the future they've been waiting for since The Xbox 360 Elite.

Only some of it is sadly.

Woohoo! Pop Shop is one of the most irritating apps to deal with because of sluggish performance. Glad to see a lot of work is going into its replacement.
