WW 603: A Low Volume Jig

2 hours 9 minutes

CES is this week: let's not beat this to death. A lot of computers were announced, including a Surface Studio clone from Lenovo.
It looks like Intel is serious about moving to 10nm this year, and Intel is talking up 'Project Athena,' its strategy for going beyond ultrabooks.
Privacy (as a service): Microsoft should stop marketing AI and market privacy instead. First step: Bali, a way for users to control data that's been collected about them.
Microsoft giveaway update: we gave away the Xbox Game Pass and Office 365 Home product keys and the hardware just arrived. Here's how you can win a Surface Go with Type Cover or Surface Headphones! (U.S. and Canada only, sorry)
Two major signs of sanity in Windows 10 19H1: 7-day update delays in Windows Update in Windows 10 Home, Microsoft finally silences Cortana in Windows 10 Setup (but not in Home).
Windows 10 19H1 build adds support for password-less Microsoft accounts and sign-ins.
Build 18312 was released today with Reset This PC improvements.
Let's revisit Windows 10 on ARM. Yes, this really matters.
Non-controversy of the week: Windows 10 will now set aside 7 GB of disk for coming updates
About Citrix's plans for Windows Virtual Desktop
GitHub to give free users unlimited private repos
Microsoft should make Surface-branded wireless earbuds (Update: They are working on it)
Microsoft continued losing to Sony in the console wars in 2018, but there was a lot of good news too
