On this episode, Leo Laporte shows off his new Snapdragon Dev Kit to Paul Thurrott and Richard Campbell. He also tries setting it up, and the process is TOTALLY "seamless." AMD has revealed the Ryzen AI PRO 300 Series alongside Intel's launch of the Core Ultra 200S desktop processors. The FIDO Alliance has published new credential exchange specifications. Sarah Bond announces that Xbox games will be purchasable on Android. And Paul unveils his new "get rich" scheme... as he looks for some feedback.
Intel and AMD announce partnership that is clearly aimed at taking on Arm. Intel was already working on simplifying the x86 architecture by removing older, unused bits Don't worry, Intel and AMD will still compete. And AMD just released new AI processors, with Intel also announcing first Core Ultra chips for Desktop Which raises a question: Why do the desktop chips not meet the Copilot+ PC spec?
x86's Last Stand?Windows

Join Leo, Paul, and Richard on a potentially Spanish-adjacent episode! Patch Tuesday arrives and Microsoft finally admits that 24H2 is a thing. Plus, a discussion on Satya Nadella recently describing the LLMs behind Copilot and other AIs as a "commodity."

After a flurry of last-second pre-release activity, Microsoft shipped 24H2 a week earlier than expected! Copilot also gets a major update for individuals too, and Copilot+ PCs get more features.
24H2 is here!
Last week's Week D updates did finally go out, first to 22H2/23H2 and then to 24H2 That 22H2/23H2 preview update was apparently a hot mess Now Microsoft has issued a fix Windows 11 version 24H2 is fully available. Arm64 ISOs are coming soon The first LTSC version(s) of Windows 11 is now available - Windows 11 Enterprise Long Term Servicing Channel (LTSC) 24H2 + Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2024) New Dev and Beta builds, not much new, but new Snipping Tools spreads further Canary build todayCopilot
Copilot morphs into an AI companion or something Copilot+ PCs are getting new features, including one with a serious Recall vibe Microsoft is trying a different tact with the new AI features - explaining why they can be trusted. Can they be trusted? Microsoft belatedly explains why you can trust Recall As expected, Microsoft does a song and dance on changes to Recall, but notably never thanks the feedback it got from the security community. Good. But this is still a win-win, if just for opt-in and, now, uninstall Google pushes Gemini more in ChromeOSMicrosoft 365, More

Plus a lower-cost 8-core Snapdragon model. This is officially a trend.

Clear to Paul that the WPF support in this release will never be updated again, which sucksHardware
Intel finally has some good news: Foundry subsidiary spin-off, AWS expanded partnership, more CHIPS money Intel also has some bad news: It lost out on the PS6 contract to AMD, which made previous gen PS chips A Windows 11 2-in-1 (like Surface Book) in which the detachable display is a powerful, standalone Android tabletXbox

Paul is back from Berlin! Mikah Sargent subs in for Leo, while Richard brings a glass of Einar's whisky to the show! They talk about the latest from IFA 2024, including the state of Intel, AMD, and Qualcomm. Later, tune in for intriguing updates about Parallels Desktop, Windows 10's Photos app, and Apple's lineup of (currently) AI-less devices.
IFA Part Deux
More perspective from industry insiders on where Intel, AMD and Qualcomm are at now Why did Qualcomm launch lower-end Snapdragon X chips now? Intel bails on 20A manufacturing process to focus on 18A - making lemonade Intel lands a punch with Lunar Lake. Is it enough for a comeback? Qualcomm has reportedly been trying to buy Intel's chip design business for months Lenovo launches new PCs with Intel, AMD, and Qualcomm chips - Photo gallery Copilot+ PC-class PCs with AMD and Intel chips come with 24H2eWindows
Patch Tuesday arrives - 22H2/23H2 and 24H2 all get updates - same as last month's preview updates, of course Microsoft still doesn't list 24H2 in Windows 11 Update History on the Support sit Parallels Desktop 20 will benefit from Microsoft's Prism emulator too Microsoft is updating Photos app in Windows 10 too It's not just macOS Sequoia, ChromeOS is copying Windows's Snap feature tooApple launches new devices but AI is not ready
Apple launches iPhone 16 series without AI, plus new Apple Watch and AirPods 4 also without AI... and confirms next software updates, also without AI - AI is for later, sometimes much later This was a lackluster launch by any measure. But AI might make things more interesting in time Dashlane recommends skipping out on Apple PasswordsMicrosoft 365, AI, more

Windows 11
Windows 11 version 22H2/23H2 get the same update Windows 11 version 24H2 gets a different update, but at least it's on time Beta: Media controls on the Lock screen, more Windows security update borks small number of Linux bootloaders, is perfect example of misplaced and faux outrage Right-click doesn't work correctly with Windows and a touchpad. It's not youM$FT
Microsoft took Paul's advice. Instead of just blaming the EU, it's holding a security summit with CrowdStrike and other partners to solve the problems highlighted by the botched update outage.
