It's Week D. Do you know where your preview updates are?
Windows 11
- Windows 11 version 22H2/23H2 get the same update
- Windows 11 version 24H2 gets a different update, but at least it's on time
- Beta: Media controls on the Lock screen, more
- Windows security update borks small number of Linux bootloaders, is perfect example of misplaced and faux outrage
- Right-click doesn't work correctly with Windows and a touchpad. It's not you
M$FT
- Microsoft took Paul's advice. Instead of just blaming the EU, it's holding a security summit with CrowdStrike and other partners to solve the problems highlighted by the botched update outage. (Which it said it would do back in July.)
- Microsoft shuffles the decks below its three primary business units
- Microsoft: It's all about transparency!
- Paul: Nope
Hardware
- Lenovo ThinkPad T14s is the best business-class Snapdragon X Copilot+ PC yet
- ThinkPad X12 Detachable Gen 2 is the last gasp of the Surface Pro-alikes
- Paul got a Pixel 9 Pro XL - Eerily iPhone Pro-like design, crazy AI features - The combination of hardware and software here is nuts
- Pixel 9 series is shipping with Android 14. Google planned to ship Android 14 earlier than ever before this year. Users with Pixel 9 series phones can enroll in Android 15 Beta now. But Android 15 was quietly delayed to October, the normal release time frame

- Apple announces launch event
- Some navel-gazing about Apple's place in our lives

- Microsoft announces Loop 2.0 on Twitter, no one has it yet
- LibreOffice is now native on Windows on Arm!
- Google Essentials app will be bundled with some new PCs, starting with HP
- Proton Drive for Business now available standalone, and with sale pricing (and more storage)

- Google Meet gets auto PIP for all and AI meeting notes for some
Xbox
- Xbox August Update starts rolling out with those new Discord features
