The Hot Take: Interesting features, we'll see if they pull me from eM Client which has all these now. Minus .pst files.
Outlook âNew,â which is based on Outlook.com, is far from a decent email client. While it has come a long way, the new Outlook doesnât feel as good as the Classic version, and it still lacks many features most users want. Microsoft now says itâs adding advanced support for Mail Merge, .PST, and a new single view for all accounts to the new Outlook app.
Outlook for Windows and web is getting the All accounts view in August 2026
I asked Microsoft for more details, and it told me that Outlook on Windows 11 (and 10) will get support for aâŚ
The Hot Take: I really feel we need an investigation into all these memory manufacturers as I feel they aren't allocating all this ram for Ai like they way they are. History just repeating its self I think.
Amid the unrelenting demand for AI infrastructure, SK Hynix, the worldâs largest supplier of HBM memory used in high-end GPUs, now expects to triple its wafer capacity. You'll just have to wait through two more US presidential elections and then some. All that capacity wonât come online until 2034, SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won told Nikkei Asia in a recent interview. SK Hynixâs valuation has soared in recent months. The company is one of three major producers of NAND flash and DRAM memory, large quantities of which are required to support theâŚ
Longtime Slashdot reader Dotnaught shares a report from The Register: For the past 90 days, Microsoft has been quietly patching a firmware flaw in Surface devices that allowed the hardware to be bricked with a single packet, though only for those who have disabled Secure Core and Secure Boot. And the company's Copilot AI software inadvertently helped identify the faulty firmware.
According to Jack Darcy, a security researcher based in Australia, his instance of Microsoft Copilot stumbled across the bug after being asked to adjust theâŚ

The Hot Take: Mobile convergence is almost complete on the apple front.
Apple is without a doubt planning to launch a MacBook that finally incorporates touch support on its display, according to a prominent leaker on Weibo. The long overdue feature would bring parity to a litany of Windows laptops and Chromebooks that have used touchscreen displays for years, and would likely be a popular selling point on future
The Hot Take: ARM seems to be breaking out from everywhere. Fujitsu, Nvidia, AWS and ARM. Qualcomm seems to be playing catch up in the server market from the looks of it.
AWS has provided a first look at its next-generation Graviton5 processor, a custom server CPU developed by Annapurna Labs for deployment across the company's cloud computing platform and AI inference infrastructure.
Intel's Arc Pro GPU journey began with the first-generation Alchemist A-series products, and last year, the company introduced its Battlemage B-Series products. The first generation of products was aimed at the budget segment, offering good perf/$, and while the positioning continues with the Battlemage lineup, it looks like Intel is slightly moving towards a higher-end segment with its Arc Pro B60, B65, and B70 series. This move comes at a time when AI is the talk of the town, and local AI agents are becoming more and more popular. Also,âŚ
The Hot Take: Now we know why M$ is trying to squeeze out every ounce of performance in Windows 11.....
Microsoft says youâll be able to run Windows 11âs local Language Model APIs on non-Copilot+ PCs as long as you meet the new hardware requirement: an RTX 30+ GPU with 6GB of VRAM. Itâs a major change, as it means Copilot+ PCsâ advantages are getting âthin,â and I wouldnât be surprised if Microsoft drops the NPU requirement entirely in the future.
Copilot+ PCs officially debuted on June 18, 2024, and theyâve been driving sales for PC makers. However, itâs not because of the âCopilotâ or âNPUâ factor. Itâs largely because newer PCs are now soldâŚ
The Hot Take: Well look at that, it's very interesting that Microsoft is suddenly knocking out all these windows 11 issues. Kinda like they're afraid Linux will take their user base.
The Windows 11 June 2026 Patch Tuesday update, KB5094126 brings Low Latency Profile, Shared Audio, Multi-App Camera, and a handful of other noteworthy changes. Buried deeper in the changelog, without much fanfare, are two improvements to the Microsoft Store, one addressing a long-standing download speed problem and another fixing a frustrating gap in error reporting for managed devices.
Neither of these fixes will generate hype the way the CPU boost feature does. But for anyone who has watched a 500MB app update crawl through the Store forâŚ
The Hot Take: Question is, do I go HPDT with Z990 or Consumer Z970? I guess I'll have to see the benches on if HPDT does anything for Gaming.
The Z990 PCH for Nova Lake motherboards is apparently 22% smaller than Z890, despite featuring a higher power maximum power draw of up to 14W. The leaked picture of the PCH shows a 11.15 x 6.5mm die and 25 x 24mm package, but we're unsure what motherboard it actually comes from.
