Windows 12 is stalled and the real reasons go far beyond software. The conversation unpacks how soaring hardware prices, AI chaos, and market confusion have Microsoft in a holding pattern. Also, Paul finally took a sledgehammer to the subscription services he pays for, and more is on the way. Plus, one of Paul's favorite Markdown editors supports authorship on Windows now and an integrated Search/Outline view on Mac, iPad, and iPad.Windows Week D is here with a preview of July's Patch Tuesday Point-in-time restore is now generally available in Windows 11, sort of Quieter widgets, which is nice! Plus, Screen tint, Windows Update improvements, more Tied to this, sort of, something wonderful is happening to the Windows 11 Field Guide Five new builds, plus some 26H2 news (and still no news about what 26H1 becomes, see below...) Mostly minor fit-and-finish improvements So... what about Windows 12? The history is interesting, and Copilot+ PC was what Paul originally thought Windows 12 would be. But now we're talking agentic capabilities that will handle local/cloud/hybrid orchestration per last week's discussion, and maybe that will be it. We knew that Surface Laptop and Surface Pro would come in 8 GB configurations. But they're available now with just 256 GB of storage and the prices are $950 and $850 and up, respectively. Plus all the usual Surface limitations, like one color choice. (16 GB is $1150 and $1050, respectively, so $300 more.) Once again, it's time to just get a Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5x for $850. It has 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage and is awesome. Tim Cook just admitted that Apple will raise hardware prices because of the component crisis. If this is hitting Apple hard, the rest of the industry is screwed. AI Cory Doctorow's new book is out and let's just say his new neologism isn't as catchy as enshittification Reverse centaur (groan) Surprisingly centrist view on the pros and cons of AI Highlights the Microsoft financial shenanigans I point out every quarter: Microsoft "invests" $10 billion of "tokens" in OpenAI, but there's no volume discount and Microsoft books the transaction as $10 billion in AI revenues as OpenAI simply uses its infrastructure. It gave $10 billion to OpenAI so that it could spend $10 billion on Azure. Google Home Speaker is the Gemini speaker and it's now shipping to first customers as Google discontinues Nest Audio and Nest Mini speakers. Can we trust this company with hardware? And why are there no Apple or Google home theater setups? Adobe brings its creative agent to Firefly and the biggest apps in Creative Cloud XBOX & gaming No movement yet on the massive changes we expect in XBOX soon Microsoft has "dozens" of gaming IP-based movies and TV shows in the works XBOX Insiders can now test updates to Gamertags, Game Hub, and Wish List Call of Duty: Black Ops 1 and 2 are being ported to modern PS consoles. Sadly, not remakes or remasters. GTA VI will cost $79.99 and up - Arrives in November, can preorder on June 25 Steam Machine to cost $1049 and up, and that's with no controller Tips & picks Tip of the week: How to save $100 a month App pick of the week: iA Writer RunAs Radio this week: Securing Developers with Tanya Janca Brown liquor pick of the week: Glen Breton Rare 10 These show notes have been truncated due to length.

Der Markt der Notebookprozessoren ist in Bewegung: Intel und AMD erreichen mit ihren x86-Prozessoren nur noch kleine Performancesprünge, Qualcomm hängt sie mit seinen Snapdragon-X2-CPUs meinstens ab und Apples M-Chips laufen sowieso allen davon. Hinzu kommt im Laufe des Jahres die Firma Nvidia, die mit dem RTX Spark ein SoC für (zunächst recht teure) Notebooks bringt. In dieser Folge des c't uplink sprechen wir über die kommenden CPUs von Nvidia, die aktuellen von Qualcomm und was für ARM-CPUs noch kommen könnten (und welche eher nicht). Außerdem: Warum die Situation bei Linux-Treibern bei Nvidia erquicklicher werden könnte als bei Qualcomm, was AMD so plant, was Intels Panther-Lake-Chips doch ganz gut hinbekommen und mehr.

Vibe coding native Windows apps and a new reactive dev model for WinUI will help to make modern app dev easier for everyone A new theory emerges: The real reason Microsoft is fixing Windows 11 is that it needs this foundation for a future of hybrid AI agents.

If you think code is safe from automation, think again. This week's discussion tackles why the rise of vibe coding and AI-powered tools could upend long-held beliefs about software development, with even seasoned pros rethinking their roles. Also, a new C++ documentary is worth watching! Windows After a weekend of Build session viewing, two big takeaways! Vibe coding native Windows apps and a new reactive dev model for WinUI will help to make modern app dev easier for everyone A new theory emerges: The real reason Microsoft is fixing Windows 11 is that it needs this foundation for a future of hybrid AI agents. And hybrid means more than just local + cloud. Patch Tuesday is here! As promised, Microsoft fixed a record number of security issues thanks to AI 24H2/25H2: Shared audio, more NPU in Task Manager, multi-app camera support, user folder name choice in OOBE, more 26H1: Xbox Mode, Drop tray, etc. Windows Insider Program: New 26H1 Beta channel added for some reason Dell now sells a Windows Hello ESS-compatible wired mouse AI WWDC 2026: Apple announced vibe-coding advances for normal users (Safari extensions) and developers (Xcode). Paul used Xcode and Claude Code to create a full-featured Markdown editor app in about 12-15 minutes. Google drops the price of AI Plus plan to $4.99 per month, raises storage to 400 GB and announces new NotebookLM capabilities Proton Drive is coming to Linux, has a new SDK, and now has a new CLI too. We're going to need a CLI section in the show notes.

A serious new Windows 11 BitLocker vulnerability, open-sourced offensive malware tools, a suspected Iranian cyber campaign targeting U.S. fuel infrastructure, and malware that appears designed to interfere with nuclear weapons simulation systems.  Cybersecurity Today would like to thank Material Security for sponsoring this podcast. Material Security provides faster, more complete detection and response for email, identity, and data threats inside Google Workspace and Microsoft 365. You can contact them at material[dot]security. David Shipley breaks down four major cybersecurity stories on Cybersecurity Today. First, a newly disclosed zero-day dubbed YellowKey reportedly defeats default Windows 11 BitLocker protection on systems using TPM-only encryption, giving attackers with physical access a path to unencrypted data through the Windows Recovery Environment. Microsoft is investigating, while security experts are urging stronger BitLocker configurations. The episode also examines the TeamPCP threat group's decision to release offensive tooling publicly, dramatically lowering the barrier for copycat supply-chain attacks. Researchers have already spotted malicious NPM packages borrowing similar techniques, including persistence mechanisms aimed at developer environments such as Visual Studio Code and Claude Code. David also looks at disturbing analysis of the FAST16 malware, which researchers believe was engineered to tamper with nuclear weapons simulation software including LS-DYNA and AutoDyn. And finally, U.S. officials reportedly suspect Iranian actors in cyberattacks targeting internet-exposed gas station automatic tank gauge systems, a reminder that weak operational technology security can quickly become a real-world infrastructure problem. 00:00 Sponsor Message 00:24 Headlines Overview 00:50 BitLocker Zero Day 03:32 TeamPCP Tools Leak 06:13 Copycat NPM Malware 06:50 Fast16 Nuclear Sabotage 08:37 Iran Gas Station Hacks 10:28 Hardening Critical Infrastructure 11:16 Wrap Up And Events 11:59 Sponsor Deep Dive #Cybersecurity #Windows11 #BitLocker #ZeroDay #TeamPCP #IranCyberAttack #SupplyChainAttack #CriticalInfrastructure #CyberSecurityToday
