In this episode, we sit down with Pavan Davuluri, Corporate Vice President of Microsoft's Windows + Devices business, to explore how Windows is evolving into an AI-native platform. Pavan leads the team responsible for strategy, design, and delivery of Windows products across the full stack - from silicon and devices to platform, OS, apps, experiences, security, and cloud. With 23 years at Microsoft, he's driven the creation of the Surface line and now oversees how hardware and software fuse together with AI at the center. We explore how Copilot is being deeply integrated into Windows, the engineering shifts required to make Windows a more proactive and intelligent platform, and how Microsoft balances powerful automation with user control. From Surface design standards influencing the broader ecosystem to supporting OEM partners in the AI PC era, Pavan reveals the principles guiding Windows' transformation and what the computing experience will look like in the next five years.Subscribe to The Neuron newsletter: https://theneuron.aiMicrosoft Surface: https://www.microsoft.com/surfaceWindows AI features: https://www.microsoft.com/windows/ai-features

08 03-12-25 LHDW Windows: El Gobierno quita la facturación electrónica, ¿Alivio?. Adicción o hábito a redes sociales, un estudio habla de ello
It's just one week until Australia's controversial social media age restrictions come into force, so I decided to chat with Justin Warren, noted “consultant, freedom of information tragic, hexagon enthusiast, and creator of the CyberRating™ labelling scheme”.It's the first time he's been on the pod this year!In this episode we do indeed talk about the age restrictions which come into force on 10 December. But we also discuss robots, secretive intelligence organisations, the Bureau of Meteorology's website budget overrun, and how Microsoft Windows has become unreliable at the same time as more of the company's software is written by AI.

Avui venim carregats de temes que ho estan sacsejant tot: des de decisions polítiques que afecten milions de joves fins a moviments inesperats de les grans tecnològiques. Començarem amb Austràlia, que ha decidit prohibir les xarxes socials per als menors de 16 anys, una mesura que ha encès un debat global sobre seguretat, educació digital i llibertats individuals. I d'aquí saltarem a la batalla més calenta del moment: OpenAI contra Google. L'arribada de Gemini 3 ha encès el “codi vermell” a OpenAI, just quan ChatGPT compleix tres anys i es prepara per integrar publicitat per primera vegada. Mentre tot això passa, el govern espanyol decideix ajornar fins al 2027 el sistema Verifactu, un alleujament temporal per a autònoms i empreses. Tancarem amb un cop d'ull al mercat mòbil i la connexió: Apple podria superar Samsung aquest 2025, tenim filtracions del futur iPhone 17e i bones notícies per als usuaris d'Android, perquè el punt d'accés està a punt de ser molt més ràpid.
Linux adoption vs. Windows 10 vs. TPM 2.0 vs. Anti-Cheat vs. Steam Machines vs. Windows 11... where does it end? Heck, where does it start? Also: Goat Simulator 3 is broken in the right ways, an Xbox Series X was more expensive than a PS5 Pro there for a little bit, I dug out the entirety of Level 7 in S&Miner and all I have is this screenshot, the next Hitman, the next Dead Rising, and more!

Wenn die Digitalisierung fehlschlägt: The London Ambulance System DisasterWas passiert, wenn Politik alles automatisieren will, ein starres Pflichtenheft ohne Tests verabschiedet und eine kleine Agentur in Rekordzeit ein hochkritisches System auf Visual Basic liefern soll? 1992 ging das Notrufsystem des London Ambulance Service mit einem Big Bang Rollout live. Ohne vollwertige Schulung, ohne belastbare Lasttests und ohne echten Backup-Plan. Das Ergebnis: Fehldispatches, endlose Wartezeiten, Ausnahmezustand in der Leitstelle und ein technischer Kollaps durch ein simples Memory Leak.In dieser Episode sprechen wir über den gesamten Projektverlauf vom London Ambulance System Disaster: Von der Zettelwirtschaft mit Förderband über ein überambitioniertes Automatisierungsvorhaben, NIH-Syndrom in der Ausschreibung, unrealistische Deadlines und Budgets, fehlendes Projektmanagement sowie Quality Assurance. Wir beleuchten die Live-Inbetriebnahme im Oktober 1992, GPS- und Statusprobleme in den Ambulanzen, die Exception-Flut auf den Monitoren, das ungetestete Failover und die Folgen für Personal, Vertrauen und Öffentlichkeit.Wir ordnen das Desaster für die Tech Community ein und ziehen Parallelen zu heute: AI- und Cloud-Rollouts ohne Fallback, Fix-forward statt Rollback, End-to-End- und Lasttests mit realistischen Szenarien, SRE-Praktiken, soziotechnische Systeme, UX in kritischen Workflows und die ethische Verantwortung von Entwicklerinnen. Außerdem: moderne Beispiele wie die Boeing 737 Max und Pandemie-Apps, die zeigen, wie zeitlos diese Learnings sind.Bonus: Das Kernsystem lief auf Visual Basic unter Windows 3. Klingt retro, war aber alles andere als ein Retro-Game.Unsere aktuellen Werbepartner findest du auf https://engineeringkiosk.dev/partnersDas schnelle Feedback zur Episode:

Dr. Glen Jeffery, PhD, is a professor of neuroscience at University College London and a leading expert on how different colors (wavelengths) of light impact cellular, organ and overall health. He explains that long-wavelength light (red, near-infrared and infrared) can enter the body and brain to enhance mitochondrial function and thereby improve metabolism, eyesight, blood glucose regulation, mood, hormones and more. We also discuss how short-wavelength light from LED bulbs can impair mitochondrial health and why balanced, full-spectrum light is essential for health. Dr. Jeffery shares simple yet powerful ways to use natural and artificial light sources to enhance your metabolic function, eyesight and longevity.

Windows are pivotal to the lived experience of a home. They impact the basic aesthetic and provide natural light, views, ventilation, and safety. However, they are also nearly always the largest single source of heat loss and gain - it's hard to overstate the importance of getting windows right, as they play a huge role in a building's energy use. Today, we're going to take a deep dive into high-performance architectural windows, exploring the technology that lets us control unwanted heat flow through conduction, convection, and radiation. We'll be looking at the technical specs U-factor, Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC), air leakage and visual transmittance, as well as the fundamental differences between US and European manufacturing philosophies.Article from Passive House Accelerator:How Windows Make (Or Break) Wall PerformanceAndrew DrydenAndrew Dryden is the Owner of Pivot Windows LLC. He is dedicated to promoting sustainable construction practices that enhance energy efficiency and overall building performance.

Small businesses in the U.S. are facing rising costs and job losses, with 70% of owners citing inflation as their primary concern, according to a recent Bank of America study. Despite this, 75% of small business owners remain optimistic about revenue growth in the coming year. However, the disparity in employment trends is stark, as small firms shed 88,000 jobs while larger companies gained 151,000. This economic environment is leading to a reduction in discretionary tech spending, as small businesses prioritize survival and cost control over technology investments.The global tech consulting market is projected to exceed $400 billion in revenue by 2026, driven by a surge in technology upgrades. A report indicates that 84% of buyers plan to upgrade their technology within the next year, with a notable increase in demand for consulting services. However, a significant number of personal computers are delaying upgrades to Windows 11, indicating a gap between modernization goals and actual implementation. This presents an opportunity for IT providers to position Windows 11 migration not merely as an OS upgrade but as essential for achieving desired business outcomes.In the hardware sector, Dell reported record revenues of $27 billion for the quarter ending October 31, 2025, largely attributed to its AI infrastructure business. Conversely, HP announced plans to cut 4,000 to 6,000 jobs as part of a restructuring initiative aimed at enhancing productivity through AI. Both companies are navigating challenges, including a projected memory shortage that could lead to increased prices in the second half of the fiscal year. These developments highlight the shifting dynamics in the tech industry, where AI is reshaping hardware strategies and vendor support is expected to diminish.For Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and IT decision-makers, the current economic landscape necessitates a strategic approach to technology investments. As small businesses tighten their budgets, IT providers must focus on demonstrating the financial impact of their solutions and offering flexible purchasing options. The convergence of rising consulting demand, hardware inflation, and vendor financial repositioning underscores the importance of aligning technology refresh cycles with business outcomes. By proactively addressing these challenges, MSPs can position themselves as essential partners in navigating the complexities of modernization and economic pressure.

The panel begins with Apple Vision Pro, diving into the M5 vs. M2 comparison, app support concerns, frozen iPad-based apps, spatial vs. 3D video, and why personas remain one of the Vision Pro's most underrated features. Several panelists challenge a recent critical article about Vision Pro, noting that the platform is still early and evolving. Next, the group covers iOS 26 beta updates and Apple's Invites app, leading to a comedic sidebar about who exactly uses the app — if anyone. This transitions into a deep (and funny) debate over USB thumb drives, CDs/DVDs, Blu-rays, and digital vs. physical media. From enterprise security to indie concert CDs, everyone shares stories illustrating why physical media is "dead"… or maybe not so dead. More news includes AirTag upgrades that help airlines locate lost luggage, Spotify preparing another round of price increases, and Plex restricting free users from sharing library access — which sparked concerns among Plex users on Apple TV.
