Windows has a fever and the only cure is more Linux. (The Verge) (archive site)

Seriously, though. Microsoft is planning to fix problems with Windows by embedding more Linux into its operating system.

It seems there might be an easier way to achieve that.
Also, Microsoft, fire your designers. (Notebook Check)

Now.

All of them.

Tech News

Laptops based on Nvidia's new RTX Spark N1X CPU will start at $2900. (WCCFTech)

And go up from there.

Models using the low-end N1 CPU will start at $1800.

Do not send to ask for whom the bell tolls, Nvidia.
Intel says that "something has to give" with memory prices. (Tom's Hardware)

And that they're not planning to stop production of older CPUs that use DDR4 memory, not while there's still demand.
AMD meanwhile had to re-engineer its DDR4-friendly 5800X3D to bring it back into production. (Tom's Hardware)

TSMC has changed its die-stacking technology (the X3D part in the name) so they couldn't simply restart production of the chip with the same process as before. The CPU chiplet remains the same, but it needs to be packaged differently.
Phison showed off a PCIe 6.0 SSD controller that supports transfer rates of 28GB per second and 6.8 million IOPS. (Tom's Hardware)

While drawing just 7W of power. Which would be a lot for a consumer model, but no more than early PCIe 5.0 controller chips.
A perfect companion for your new 5800X3D, Nividia's RTX 3060 is back as well.> (WCCFTech)

Only in China so far. Priced at $325.
The European Parliament has ditched Google Search for French competitor Qwant. (Politico)

I'm usually more than ready to dump on European idiocy, but Google makes it easier every day to break up with them, even for those of us who are not European idiots.

7 Putting more Linux in Windows?

I suppose that's one way of getting users comfortable with the idea of ditching Windows entirely.

8 Going on memory here. During discovery of some lawsuit, it was found that M$'s tp/ip stack had been lifted verbatim (including the copyright notice) from (I think) BSD Unix. So, using Linux to fix windblows is not much of a reach.

Something will give. It has to:
https://isaiprofitable.com/

The link above shows profit and loss of Amazon, Alphabet (Google), Microsoft, Meta, Oracle, OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, Mistral AI, Cohere AI, Deepseek, and nVidia.

The only profitable company right now in that list is nVidia, and that's because they're making the chips and cards and selling them to the rest. The others? All massively in the red.

Then you've got GitHub Copilot massively increasing the cost of using their services, so much so that developers are talking about leaving the platform in droves. The important thing though is that we've reached the critical moment when the prices are about to reflect what has been spent on the thing, and if it can't provide value commensurate to the price, then...

*POP* goes the bubble.

20 Greetings and good morning, one and all! It's a pleasant day so far here in the GPROMD, at least my handlers insist that it is.

Today we have a contractor coming over to inspect our roof to see if any work needs to be done. Because having a house means your money is no longer yours.

And I'm plotting with mom to fly me out the week after Father's Day. Mom was pointing out that they don't do much other than go to doctor appointments and the commissary. I pointed out that I'd rather see dad while he's still functional.

I'm surprised to see I made the Top Ten Commenters list for the week ending 5/31. I dunno why it's considered to be a badge of shame; I consider it a testimony to how much all of you stimulate my Inner Snarker. (Wasn't there a character on Get Smart called "Snarker"? Or "Shtarker"? Probably that's an insult in Yiddish.)

29 Last night I dreamed of my late cat Arizona, the big red tabby-with-white Coon mix. Actually it was not him, but a successor (that I've never had in real life) who looked very much like him.

I was driving in a city unfamiliar to me, along a two-lane avenue that suddenly came to an end at a mini-park. I followed other people on foot around the park, and found myself in a house with a young married couple. I could read her thoughts: She was tired of her husband and his attempts at wit. Suddenly a roach flew into the house, and Arizona II chased it outside and killed it. I was combing a couple of burrs out of his thick long coat when I woke up.

Now that the primaries are over all the Democrat vote that was scattered among the countless number of primairy candidates is going to coalesce behind the Democrat nominee. The Republican primary candidates ran about even with the leading Democrat primary candidates; that probably represents their high watermark, while the Democrat candidate has another 30% or more coming from these other primary candidates. It is possible the Republican can win but more likely than not it's going to be a wipeout. And so goes the Communist state of California.

76 SCOTUS overruled lower court rulings and said "yes" to the Alabama redistricting map.

Glad to see that. The lower court ruling was a direct slap at the Supreme Court’s ruling in the Louisiana case. I think the lower court justices have a lot in common with Scott Pelley “you can’t tell me what to do!!’”

It is fair to say there is something more than a flicker of opposition to the absolute Democratic control of California for the first time in years. I don't think it's strong enough to overcome the last 20 years of one-party rule. Karen Bass got something like close to 40% of the Democrat primary vote after being directly responsible for the palisade fire and the collapse of livability in Los Angeles. Her communist opponent, ramen AKA noodles, got 25% or so. With a track record a failure like that and they're still yanking down 60% to 70% of the votes well that's a tough thing for Pratt to overcome. Factor in all the people that would vote Republican that have left the state it's even worse. Hope I'm wrong but I don't see it. At least not yet.

113 To assume the people of California have "had enough" is to assume they don't like 3rd World Communism.
Republicans will lose gov and LA mayor by double digits in the fall. Maybe triple digits by the time all the votes are counted in 2027.
