November 06, 2024Windows Weekly 906: Turnip Boy Robs a Bank
On Halloween, the last day of October, Microsoft delayed Recall again. It was supposed to preview in October, this is the third delay. No clear reason why. December now, supposedly. Plus, Paul gives an earnings recap that he didn't get to dive into much last week.
Windows
New 24H2 bug

More features coming to Prism emulator in Windows 11 on Arm (!)

New generative AI features are coming to Paint, Photos, and Notepad

Beta channel: Here's the new Windows Hello experience, with explicit references to passkeys

Proton VPN is native on Windows 11 on Arm

Windows Server 2025 is GA (and some are being mistakenly force-upgraded. This is what you get when you share a codebase with Windows 11, apparently)

Google shifts Android development cycle - Major update each Q2, minor update each Q4, monthly feature/quality updates
A Tale of 2 Chips
Paul reviewed the AMD Zen 5-based HP OmniBook Ultra, it's awesome. Paul is also reviewing an Intel Lunar Lake laptop, and it is not awesome

Early glee around Lunar Lake was misplaced

Laptop reviewers all report what Paul is seeing (for once), that the performance is horrific. You need to switch to "Best performance" power management mode for reasonable performance, but this hasn't solved all the issues

COD: Black Ops 6. Average FPS under Zen 5 is 90 to 120 at native resolution/medium graphics, single and multi-player. Lunar Lake? 40 FPS with all graphics settings on low/very low

Intel now says Lunar Lake is a one-off too (Meteor Lake was likewise a one-off, architecturally). It will no longer package RAM with processors because of margins. Lunar Lake rushed to market and was key contributor to recent financial issues
More Earnings Learnings
Amazon: $159 billion in revenues, $27.5 billion for AW

Apple: $95 billion in revenues, a small uptick in iPhone revenues
Microsoft 365/AI
Some curious/confusing moves with Microsoft 365 for consumers: subscribers in Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand are getting Copilot Pro credits with base subscription (Word, Excel, etc.), Designer, ... and the long-overdue and dreaded price increase

This must be a test for the U.S. and western Europe. Feels inevitable

OpenAI launches ChatGPT Search. This is not the Google Search replacement you're looking for
Xbox
It's November, so here's the incredible list of Activision Blizzard games now coming to Game Pass! Just kidding, but we are getting Flight Sim 2024

Microsoft introduced an AI-powered support virtual agent to Xbox because something something AI

Switch sales drop off a cliff, Nintendo will announce backward-compatible successor before the end of March

Sony launches the PS5 Pro to meh
