today we're teeking it to the next level
all bits are off PS you won't know what
to
expect Windows 11 might be getting start
menu ads according to Microsoft itself
us users of the newest preview build in
Windows 11's beta channel will now see
ads for apps and allegedly websites that
Microsoft thinks you might be interested
in the recommendations will naturally
appear in the recommended section of the
start menu which has normally only been
used to display recently used or opened
files folders or apps having said that
these changes may never show up in a
final version of Windows but if they do
you can apparently turn off the ads in
Windows settings if you only want your
start menu to display the apps you've
actually installed on your PC you do you
weirdo you're too good for new things
You' think Microsoft may have better
things to do than scare people away from
Windows 11 like for example making it
possible for Windows 10 users to upgrade
in the first place Microsoft just fixed
an issue that has been blocking some
windows 11 upgrades for two years
Windows 10 users with Intel smart sound
technology audio drivers installed have
been unable to upgrade since at least
November 2021 forget convincing you to
upgrade your windows 11 Microsoft can
barely manage to make upgrading possible
in the first place those poor poor
people imagine not even having the
luxury of telling Microsoft no that's
like the one thing you get PC cooling
company and giant giant robot made of
light fixtures lamptron has been giving
away counterfeit software keys with its
products this was discovered thanks to
an investigation by German overclocker
dur BAU lamptron has been giving away
license keys for Ada 64 a diagnostic and
benchmarking software after hearing from
an employee that lamptron provided keys
don't work derau decided to look at the
key he received with a lamptron st60 an
air cooler with an LCD screen on it you
can use to display data from your
motherboard sensors using you guessed it
Ada 64 on the packaging for the st60 it
says the Ada 64 key is a free version
and doesn't support updates what that
means in practice is if you try and
update this free version it becomes
marked as an illegal copy and
self-destruct and then your mom finds
out final wire limited the makers of ADA
64 told derbauer they are aware of
lamptron bundling invalid licenses with
their products in fact final wire
doesn't know if lamptron has ever
bundled licenses it's probably just some
sort of technical glitch on lon's part I
mean that's probably also why lron sight
is down an innocent perfectly legal
virus of some kind we should have never
built this robot and they just happen to
be in the Cayman Islands on other for
other reasons Tesla is having a bad time
today the company has announced a 10%
reduction in its Workforce after
apparently halting cybertruck deliveries
multiple customers were informed over
the weekend that there was an unexpected
delay regarding the preparation of their
vehicle as opposed to all those expected
delays longtime Tesla correspondent Hol
Mar's catalog tweeted that the delay was
due to an issue with the accelerator
pedal while that isn't confirmation some
cybertruck customers have reported
issues yesterday an owner posted a Tik
Tok claiming the metal cover on his
accelerator pedal slid off and got stuck
underneath part of the dash pressing and
holding the accelerator down earlier
this month another cyber truck owner
claimed they crashed into a light pole
because their vehicle didn't slow down
when they took their foot off the
accelerator didn't want them to be a

6600 lb pickup may not reliably slow

normal news but they're fun size people
constantly tell me Size Doesn't Matter
so I'm sure they're just as good as
average size stories Intel unveiled
their next gen CPU socket which will
gently cradle the company's upcoming
aerol Lake AKA core Ultra 200 desktop
processors when they launch later this
year Intel's current Chen chips use the
lg700 socket the new one's called LGA
1851 which means it's 151 pins better I
say that because as of now we literally
don't know why those extra pins are
there they might be used for EXT power
or pcie Lanes or as PC Gamer points out
they might not be put to use until the
processor generation after AOL Lake
arrives what we do know is that buying
motherboard with higher number feel
better than lower number that all reason
we need Adobe is working on adding
generative AI video features to its
Premier Pro video editor this year they
showed off a preview of what the
technology may look like in a YouTube
video and you can tell it's just a proof
of concept because the premere didn't
crash a single time
as if it wasn't enough for them to have
their own AI video generator Adobe is
also looking to integrate third party
tools like Pika Runway Ai and open AI
Sora with these upcoming AI tools you
won't believe how many new ways Premier
will be able to crash Society it's over
it's done now rendering Society Google
IO is coming up that means it's time for
every detail of upcoming pixel phones to
leak a Google Insider has told Android
authority that the pixel 9 series will
have emergency satellite coverage
similar to the newest iPhones meanwhile
the entire appearance of the pixel 8A
leaked thanks to the mobile carrier US
Cellular but US Cellular didn't leak any
color options because Outlet Android
headlines already did that the day
before and that was pretty much the only
mystery left since the aa's entire specs
were leaked over a week ago you know for
a company that collects as much data as
it does Google sure is terrible at
keeping secrets why does that happen did
you not not use the incognito tab and
they didn't even need Linus to help
Garner a company specializing in data
elimination has released a video
demonstrating a new tool for rapidly
dismantling decommissioned hard drives
for recycling the dismantler patent
pending this summer be there no discs
are safe the dismantler disassembles
drives using an Innovative process of
rapidly vibrating them until they simply
fall apart a process that typically
takes between 8 and 90 seconds and
requires no cool down between drives
unlike me and honestly I think that's
how a lot of us would like to go
violently jiggled into Oblivion and
harvested for parts that's my Kink

of audio-based social media app air chat
has launched on Android and iOS despite
being currently invite only airchat is
already ranked 27th in social networking
on the Apple App Store all posts and
comments on air chat are audio posts
with an attached transcription according
to the apps creators the idea is to
humanize online communication by using
the natural voice which will help users
get along better but I'm not sure my
truder experience would be improved by
actually hearing someone telling me I
deserve to be shot because I dressed my
