Kevin TerwilligerDell head of product It is surprising that the first manufacturer to tell the truth about so-called “AI PCs” is Dell, Microsoft's early partner in the Copilot+ laptops initiative. Note, however, that the full quote indicates that Dell will not stop investing in AI, only that the technology will no...
I am very sympathetic to free software. (And I regret not using more software of this kind.) On the Free Software Foundation blog, Jason Self reinforces the importance of the four freedoms of FOSS in the face of machine learning — which, in this context, is confused with what is commonly referred to as “artificial...
People using a Logitech mouse on macOS spent a few hours with limited functionality. An expired certificate for the Logitech Options+ and G HUB apps caused the confusion.

Anyway, I'm sure you can guess the most obvious problem with Windows 11 in...

I couldn't resist and implemented it here on the blog while still on WordPress. (ClassicPress is scheduled to come into play in March.) One of the new features is this behind-the-scenes...
The drawing for Brazil’s largest lottery prize ever — BRL 1 billion (USD 180 million) — was postponed due to the volume of bets, which reached 125,000 per second, 120,000 of them via digital channels. The draw, originally scheduled for 10 PM on Wednesday (31st), was moved to this morning. I hope they actually make...
