Daily Tech News 8 December 2025

Top Story

Windows 11 25H2 is entering a broader rollout phase now that 25H2 is just about over. (Hot Hardware)
The broad rollout of the Windows 11 25H2 update has started, and users who want to fast-track it are being referred to the relevant update options in a new blog post on Microsoft's site. Windows 11 25H2 comes with an assortment of additional Copilot+ related features (exclusive to those with sufficiently-powerful NPUs rated for 40+ TOPS) and improved Wi-Fi 7 support for enterprise users, among other features.
My latest PC - which looks set to arrive tomorrow - doesn't have an NPU at all.

How... Unfortunate.
Key improvements for all users include several fixes and additions made to Task Manager, Windows Search, and the Windows UI in general. Task Manager uses fewer resources and properly reads RAM speed in MT/s instead of MHz, for example, while the Windows UI now makes it easier to shrink the size of taskbar buttons. As Windows 11 continues to evolve into an "agentic OS", support for AI features outside of Copilot+ PCs is also being added with Windows 11 25H2, including the ability to use AI features within File Explorer.
I don't mean to be rude, but have they tried penicillin?
In completely unrelated news, I just bought a copy of Windows 10 Enterprise IoT LTSC, the version that's supported through to 2032 and contains no AI features of any sort. While the Ryzen 255 processor in this system is nominally new, it's just a rebadged Ryzen 8745H, which is just a Ryzen 7840H with a new sticker, so Windows 10 should run just fine. It doesn't have any efficiency cores either, which are something the Windows 10 scheduler can trip over.

Since Microsoft is strangely cold towards individuals who want to install the IoT edition, I downloaded the ISO from the Internet Archive and verified the hash on another helpful website.

Tech News

Tiny Core Linux has grown by 1MB. (Tom's Hardware)

It's now 23MB.

Or 17MB if you don't need a GUI.
Critical flaws found in AI development tools have been dubbed an "IDEsaster". (Tom's Hardware)

Cute.

Which development tools, you ask?
The findings, described in the IDEsaster research report, show how AI agents embedded in IDEs such as Visual Studio Code, JetBrains products, Zed, and numerous commercial assistants can be manipulated into leaking sensitive information or executing attacker-controlled code.
So Vi is still safe?

I mean, not that it ever has been.
According to the research, 100% of tested AI IDEs and coding assistants were vulnerable. Products affected include GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, Kiro.dev, Zed.dev, Roo Code, Junie, Cline, Gemini CLI, and Claude Code, with at least twenty-four assigned CVEs and additional advisories from AWS.
Hooray.
Why meetings can harm employee well-being. (Phys.org)

Well, they're meeting. That's what they're for.
The Youyeetoo Nestdesk (the what?) is a tiny NAS that holds four M.2 SSDs and costs $200. (Liliputing)

It has two 2.5Gb Ethernet ports, two HDMI ports, four USB ports, and a headphone jack.

Lilputing notes that it's almost identical in functionality to the GMKtec NucBox G9, which had a nasty habit of overheating. The Beelink Me Mini is physically larger but has a big fan which keeps things cool without producing a lot of noise.

Also, M.2 SSDs are starting to get expensive as well.
The accelerator is on the floor for autonomous vehicles. (Tech Crunch)

Yes. Most other vehicles too. Not planes, though.

Nopert Interlude

I mentioned this discovery not long ago, and here's a physical demonstration. Probably.

It's called a Nopert because it's the first discovered shape that does not have the "Rupert property" of being able to pass through a hollowed out version of itself at a suitable angle, with the exception of the sphere which is a degenerate case because it presents the same cross-section at every orientation by definition.

Musical Interlude

The music is the opening theme for Hololive Indonesia's zombie girl Kureiji Ollie. Fan Kabedondere added the lyrics. Ollie herself provided the screeching. She's calmed down since. Just a little.

Agentic AI (Wikipedia)

In the context of generative artificial intelligence, AI agents (also referred to as compound AI systems or agentic AI) are a class of intelligent agents distinguished by their ability to operate autonomously in complex environments.

Agentic AI tools prioritize decision-making over content creation and do not require human prompts or continuous oversight.

No, it's not much of a thing in eastern Australia. Most of the native species are protected and there isn't a big enough population of deer to support it much.

Now, the Northern Territory, that's different. Wild pigs, feral cattle, camels - no idea how they taste, banteng, water buffalo, and more. But nobody lives there.

Sorry for the late reply. Was out.

Same as for any other kosher animal. Basics:

A land animal is kosher if it both a) has split hooves and b) chews its cud. Examples of kosher animals include cows, sheep, goats and deer. Examples of non-kosher animals include pigs, rabbits, squirrels, bears, dogs, cats, camels and horses.

The animal must be slaughtered according to Torah laws (Halachah) and thereafter undergo additional salting and rinsing measures to remove blood from the flesh.

That is very disturbing, seeing Proton Mail listed next to Soros' foundation for tyranny.

This is sooooo EUish; showing an EU flag:

This is our flag.

It stands for unity, freedom, peace, democracy, diversity, science, culture and rule of law.

We can be even stronger if we foster integration, innovation and sovereignty.

Let’s go, Europe!

Trd Mack hosted a show, "The Original Amateur Hour", which was everything its name suggested.

He also shilled for products ("elixirs") that purported to help if you had "iron-poor, tired blood".

These products were either Serutan or Geritol. The Serutan ad script made a big deal out of the name spelled backward was "Nature's". Geritol moped around and kicked at the dirt because it was only lowly "Lotireg" if it's name was spelled backward.

I think the sole point of such things was to enable users to get a "wee nip o' spirits" without raiding their liquor cabinet. Their goose was cooked once box wines came on the market, which cleared the wilderness for Wine Moms to flourish, and brought us to the infestations of Karens with which we suffer to this day.

93 Pixy, why is the site suddenly so tiny on mobile? I can just barely read it in portrait mode. It looks like the margins got blown, but I can't find anything (picture, link, etc.) that did it. Brave on a Galaxy S22, if that helps.

We are big -- it's this site that got small.

Do not forget, kiddos, that Old Joe Kennedy was tapping Norma Desmond back in his hound dog on the prowl days.
