There's a bunch of media reporting - I don't know how accurate - that Windows 12 will require an NPU (a fake AI chip basically), which almost no PCs have, amongst other stupid features.
Requiring TPM in Windows 11 was stupid and created PC landfill during an economic, global and ecological crisis, to drive hardware profit margins and Microsoft Surface sales.
Requiring NPUs would do the same, during an additional cost of living crisis. If Microsoft go ahead with that, it's time to swap OS.
If you're wondering what I'm seeing with regards to cyber attacks(tm) from Iran - nothing. I've had friends watching Netflow of tracked infrastructure used by known groups, it's all been dead since the war began. Iran's infrastructure is basically in ruins.
I have had friends at cyber vendors warn me they've been tasked with finding old reports about Iran, and rewriting them as new - just without dates.

Yesterday I read an interview with the singer in a punk band who uses GenAI to help with writing his texts.
Punk. The whole point of punk was that if you know how to play 3 cords badly and have something to say just fucking go for it.
"A grassroots boycott called QuitGPT has been spreading across the US and beyond, asking people to cancel their ChatGPT subscriptions. More than a million people have answered the call."
"We're organizing Americans and people around the world to quit ChatGPT."
