Windows Weekly 930: Flocculation & Saponification

Listen Later

YOU ARE THE PRODUCT! But... are you? In Russia, Windows 11 uses you! Plus, something happened to Paul on the way to dual-booting Ubuntu 25.04 on Surface Laptop 7, but all is well! Also, you should be using Brave. But if you don't like/trust Chromium, Firefox 138 finally added profile management support.

Windows

  • Windows 11 24H2 preview update for April finally arrives
  • Now we know why Microsoft waited: It wanted to announce the "general availability" of Recall, Click to Do, and "improved Windows Search" (we're still struggling with a name for that one)
  • Dev and Beta (24H2) builds add a profanity filter, a Pen shortcut for Click to Do, improved Windows Search for work and school accounts, Accessibility flyout in Quick settings
  • Microsoft (sort of) explains why Windows Insider Preview channels don't follow a logical order anymore
  • Microsoft deprecates Map app in Windows 11
  • That makes sense. But also VBS Enclaves in pre-24H2 versions, which is interesting

        • Microsoft has an OpenAI problem - duh and/or hello
        • Microsoft is part of an AI unholy quaternity on new Moto phones
        • Duolingo announces controversial "AI first" strategy - And then announces 148 new AI-based courses
        • Apple on Apple Intelligence: Just kidding!
        • OpenAI on GPT-4o: Just kidding!
