Turtle Recall Edition
Song is Stick Together by Elias Naslin, featuring Lucy and Elbot. I don't know who any of those people are, but the song works well here.
Anime is Little Witch Academia, which started out as a short film, then got a Kickstarter-funded sequel, and was finally expanded into a 25-episode TV series. The TV series differs a little in continuity from the original films, but it is very good.

Turtle Recall Edition
Top Story
- Microsoft Recall is the AI-powered future of PCs. (The Verge)
This new feature coming to Windows 11 lets you find and replay any moment in your PC's history... By constantly taking screenshots. Of everything. Private email. Passwords. Personal chat messages. Confidential business documents. Credit card numbers. Personal identification. Everything.
Not DRM-restricted content, though. That would be taking things too far.
And don't worry, all this information will be kept safe on your computer and Microsoft takes security very seriously. (Tech Radar)
- I just set up two PCs running Windows 10.
Tech News
- That Orwellian nightmare isn't coming to every computer , though. You'll need a Copilot+ PC to inflict that upon yourself, which is a fresh hell unleashed by Microsoft today. (Liliputing)
Recall, specifically, sounds like it could be a privacy nightmare if your data were sent to the cloud for processing.
Yes. Yes it does.
- The first wave of these Copilot+ PCs are based on Qualcomm's new Snapdragon X chips. In fact every new Snapdragon X laptop - and there are models from Dell, Acer, HP, Samsung, Asus, and Lenovo, as well as Microsoft itself, so this is a huge industry-wide push - every single one appears to be infected with this Copilot+ bullshit.
In a single stroke, Microsoft has turned one of the largest advances in Windows laptops in years into a floating dumpster fire.
- Intel will be bringing out new laptop chips too. (AnandTech)
Congratulations, Intel.
- The 8GB iPad Pro models have 12GB of RAM. (Tom's Hardware)
Probably just because of which memory chips were available in volume, and these devices are completely locked down so you can't use that extra memory. But it's there.
- Reminder: There are no security flaws in Microsoft products. You do not need to worry about all your data being stolen. (Security Week)
Well, that's a relief.
