@bradlinder odd? No... Not at all... Just one more incident in a seemingly endless string of failures that goes to show once more the mindboggling incompetence and lack of quality control at Microsoft. How people are still defending them as a valid choice as a software vendor is beyond me. The only thing they haven't screwed up (yet) is Excel.

Microsoft rolled out a Windows 11 update this week that "unintentionally uninstalled" the Copilot app from some computers. It's an odd bug for a company that's been pushing its AI app as a selling point, but Microsoft is "working on a resolution," to bring Copilot back... whether you want it or not. #Copilot #Windows #AI #Microsoft theverge.com/news/631053/micro

Ämter ohne Microsoft – Warum Behörden freie Software nutzen sollten.

Eine EU-Studie beziffert das Kosten-Nutzen-Verhältnis von Open
Source Software auf 1:4.

Jeder Euro, den der Staat investiert, kommt vierfach wieder zurück. Würden mehr Institutionen Geld in Open Source stecken, statt an Microsoft zu überweisen, könnte das ein großes Konjunkturprogramm für die
europäische Digitalwirtschaft sein.

Microsoft is allegedly "working with a PC gaming OEM" to launch a gaming handheld with Xbox branding. It'll likely run Windows, but the Microsoft Store, Xbox app, and PC Game Pass features will be at the forefront. buff.ly/CVz0Dyj #XboxHandheld #Xbox #HandheldGamingPC #Microsoft

REPLAY CREW! I'll be honest. I was kind of a grumpy butt this week on the show. I'm blaming daylight savings. Anywho, if you're into the CRANKY rants, this week's show is for you!
#SGGQA 387 Apple Delays AI Features, Pixel 4a Recalled for Battery Safety, Do You Have Old DVDs?
somegadgetguy.com/b/4J_

Apple dodges another Apple Watch ban, and they are delaying new AI features for the iPhone. Microsoft and OpenAI might be going through a rough patch. Google still needs to sell off divisions to satisfy the DOJ. DVD's are apparently rotting, and not all can be replaced. The Pixel 4a could be having a Note 7 moment.

And we should chat a LITTLE about the 40 minute camera review I just produced...

Let's get our tech week started right!

Dziś w #OKOpress:

W lutym rząd pochwalił się podpisaniem umów z dwoma globalnymi monopolistami technologicznymi. Oczywiście chodzi o AI. Google i Microsoft obiecują zainwestować w kraju „miliardy". A polskie firmy ostrzegają przed marginalizacją i zagrożeniami. Taka to cyfrowa suwerenność.

Wir bräuchten dafür allerdings eine andere #EU, die ist, wie man am Projekt-Klassiker #GaiaX besonders deutlich sieht, leider unfähig zur Souveränität.

Man träumt von Open Source, Standardisierung und einem daraus resultierenden "Ökosystem für alle", weiter auf derselben Basis und mit denselben Lobby-Einbläsern wie bisher.

»Im März 2021 wurde die Mitgliedszahl um 212 sogenannte „Tag-1-Mitglieder“ erweitert, darunter zählen zu den bekanntesten (Stand: 29. März 2021) auch #Microsoft, #Alibaba, #Amazon und #Google. […]

Im Dezember 2020 überraschte das auf Big-Data-Analysen spezialisierte US-Unternehmen #Palantir mit der bis dahin nicht bekannt gewordenen Information, dass es sich „von Tag Eins an“ dem europäischen Cloud-Projekt Gaia-X als Mitglied angeschlossen habe.«

Copilot exposes private GitHub pages, some removed by Microsoft

Microsoft’s Copilot AI assistant is exposing the contents of more than 20,000 private GitHub repositories from companies including Google, Intel, Huawei, PayPal, IBM, Tencent and, ironically, Microsoft.

SGGQA 385: Meta Says Piracy is Legal When THEY Do It, and Apple REALLY Hates Making Phones for the Poors...

ANOTHER law firm has been caught using AI to write briefs with fake cases cited. Microsoft trial shows that more people think AI is lame once they learn how it works. Meta says piracy is legal. Amazon kills their Android app store. Apple does pull end to end encryption in the UK, like we said they would.

And a new iPhone is out that basically confirms Apple hates poor people.

Let's get our tech week started right!

I ordered some LED's, sockets, 2n2222 transistors and some 12V relays today.

What do you all think of this plan:

USB->UART (buy it)

UART->LOGIC output (build it: see falstad/video)

LOGIC->RELAY (buy it)

POWER- through relay (spare 12v from shucked HDD's)

Automotive/pinball LED T10 bulbs in sockets mounted to PCB or 3D printed structure. (buy it)
