    Magic Tricks for Cats - GitHub Copilot's magic, KB5050009, 16GB Pi 5

    The first Patch Tuesday of 2025 brings temporary but sweet relief. There were no preview updates last month, so this month is just security/bug fixes. Plus, will Microsoft back down from its Windows 10 EOL line in the sand? It appears not. Finally, got New Year's resolutions? Paul's got a better idea. Maybe... Windows New Canary build with nothing in it Microsoft will not support Office on Windows 10 after October EOL date Microsoft is auto-installing the new Outlook in Windows 10 too - Don't let the door hit you on the way out Parallels Desktop for Mac now supports running x86 Windows VMs. Very slowly AI, Microsoft 365 New business models for AI emerge in 2025.

Wait, what? Hardware Surface teases a big announcement on January 30 AMD surges on incredible new x86 chips and Intel's epic fail Former Surface design lead Ralf Groene joins Panos at Amazon. Why? Arm Holdings plans massive licensing price hikes. Everyone needs to settle the F down There's a 16 GB Raspberry Pi 5 now. But at this price, a low-end NUC is the better choice for most Dev .NET 9.0.1 arrives - and with it, the fix for the app-crashing WPF/Windows 11 theming bug Paul tried GitHub Copilot in Visual Studio.

    Something Weird From the Closet - Snapdragon X, Dell kills XPS, Qualcomm beats Arm

    We heard you missed us. We're back. Windows Microsoft declares 2025 the "year of the Windows 11 PC refresh." As likely as "year of the Linux desktop" The theory: Windows 10 EOL, AI PCs, lingering security fears from CrowdStrike The issue: Windows 10 has 63 usage share right now. At this point in time, Windows 7 had only 25 percent usage share (and was in second place, not first) Intel joins in on this fever dream but we've stopped listening More interesting: AMD is kicking ass and taking names. And we thought the existing chips were good (they are). Related to this, PC makers are embracing AMD like never before. Check out HP's workstations (including laptops) Microsoft is blocking the 24H2 update on PCs with Auto HDR enabled New Canary and Beta builds ring in the New Year Not that it matters, but Windows 11 almost had Vista Ultimate Extras-like dynamic wallpapers Dell kills XPS and all its other PC brands because Dell is stupid and doesn't know what it had Arm & PCs Qualcomm defeated Arm Holdings in licensing dispute court case. And, yes, it won big time, contrary to Arm's nonsense Qualcomm announces an even lower-end Snapdragon X chip for $600 PCs, so ASUS announces an $1100 laptop that uses it Snapdragon Dev Kit update Part 2 of Paul's history of Windows on Arm is up New Arm PCs announced, including desktops. Ahead of CES, Geekom jumped the gun and said it was coming out with a Snapdragon X-based NUC. Lenovo has a NUC/SFF NVIDIA and MediaTek confirm partnership on Arm chips for PCs Microsoft 365 First, GitHub Copilot, but now Microsoft 365 Copilot will allegedly stop using OpenAI exclusively Microsoft reveals (confirms) it will spend $80 billion on AI infrastructure in FY 2025 as it suckles up to Trump like the rest of the tech industry Microsoft and OpenAI allegedly tied AGI milestone to profits, not intelligence Xbox & Gaming Microsoft discusses a console-like experience for Windows handheld gaming. Tied to that, a new generation of handheld gaming PCs is on the way Xbox Game Pass says Happy New Year with a full slate of Activision Blizzard titles. Just kidding NVIDIA announces new graphics cards for PCs No one wants this, but Xbox is coming to LG smart TVs Xbox Rewards shuffles the deck chairs, hopes no one notices it's worse now Tips & Picks Tip of the week: Spend a little, upgrade to Windows 11 App pick of the week: Microsoft PowerToys RunAs Radio this week: Least Privilege in 2025 with Bailey Bercik Brown liquor pick of the week: Kilbeggan Irish Whiskey Hosts: Leo Laporte, Paul Thurrott, and Richard Campbell Download or subscribe to Windows Weekly at https://twit.tv/shows/windows-weekly Get episodes ad-free with Club TWiT at https://twit.tv/clubtwit Check out Paul's blog at thurrott.com The Windows Weekly theme music is courtesy of Carl Franklin.
