Bing outage, NVIDIA's record Q1 FY25, WPF's rebirth

Windows 11

  • A quick look back at the Copilot+ PC launch
  • Paul did end up making a video of each MacBook Air reference during last week's launch
  • The Copilot+ PC event was also notable for its many references to the past: Paul counted at least 7 in the first 7 minutes alone
  • After some soul-searching, Paul went all-in on Surface Laptop by canceling the first preorder and bulking it up with more RAM and storage
  • Release Preview (last week): 24H2 comes to RP, suggesting it hits stable on Tuesday, June 11 (in preview), one week before the first Copilot+ PCs arrive with this build preinstalled
  • Beta (last week): 23H2 build with no new features (arriving after 24H2 in Release Preview, of course)
  • Microsoft Edge is getting more responsive thanks to a "WebUI 2.0" initiative
  • Lenovo earnings up 9 percent in quarter, down 8 percent for the year. The future? AI PCs, duh

    • AI

    • There was a massive Bing outage late last week. Press hold on all the obvious jokes, this impacted Copilot everywhere, DuckDuckGo, other services
    • Cue the Chicken Little "this is why I'll never use AI" crowd, which used to be the "this is why I'll never use the cloud" crowd
    • Copilot comes to Telegram for some reason
    • Google goes live with AI overviews in Search and the world grinds to a halt
    • Google adds Gemini to Chromebook Plus, gives one free year of Google One AI Premium to new device buyers
    • WWDC is coming soon and we're seeing hints of how Apple will add more AI to its products
    • Opera partners with Google Cloud on Gemini in Aria AI and image understanding/image generation in browser
    • And it now plans to make 2000 SLMs available in the browser
    • NVIDIA revenues were a record in Q1, up 262 percent YOY

      • Last week, we learned that WPF is making a comeback. This week, Paul revived his .NETpad project and is going to modernize it using the new features

        • Xbox

        • We finally have some news about Activision Blizzard games and Game Pass!!! But it's only one game, and it doesn't happen until November
        • Atari buys the Intellivision brand. I wish we knew more about this
