I'm usually optimistic, but Google Search's new AI experience is the end of an era for websites. Anybody who tells you otherwise is lying and is a Google shill. Any antitrust lawsuit would not make a difference because Google is slowly rewriting users' search behavior, and they're going to argue humans have changed how they search on the internet, so it's adapting.

Today, you're going to see reviews praising the MacBook Neo for its hardware, features, and even performance at this price point. Sure, the MacBook Neo has good hardware, and it's appealing to a certain group of consumers. It should worry Windows 11 OEMs, and they will likely step up their game in the mid-range lineup. But reviewers will go back to their premium, expensive devices after spending a few days with the MacBook Neo, and you'll be stuck with 8GB of RAM for the next several years. It doesn't matter how well macOS is optimized -- 8GB of RAM will start to feel slow when you use too many apps, keep multiple browsers open, or run heavier workloads. 8GB of RAM is EIGHT gigabytes at the end of the day. A laptop is an investment for years, and most of us don't buy one just to open a few browser tabs or use Office apps. If you care about specs, this laptop is not for you. At the same time, it's probably a great choice for younger students. If you really want to use macOS over Windows 11, you should ideally go for the base M4 model or consider a refurbished MacBook.

Love it when a paid article has ChatGPT protocol links in it

Fact check: No, Windows 11's latest update is NOT "deleting" your internet, and it is not causing widespread reboot loops. The article in the screenshot relies on just two forum posts as its source. The first forum post has about five responses. One user reports a reboot loop, one mentions installation errors, one reports Wi-Fi issues, and the remaining two replies are from a Microsoft forum moderator and a Q&A AI bot providing general responses. The second forum post has six replies. Four users report different issues, including one mentioning DHCP. The other two responses are again from a Microsoft moderator and a Q&A bot. Windows 11 has around one billion users. Can we really conclude that the update is breaking the internet or causing reboot loops based on fewer than ten people reporting issues? Windows 11 KB5077181 is part of the February 2026 Patch Tuesday release, and it fixes six zero-days and 58 other flaws. It is a security update and should be installed. Do not skip it. So far, there is no evidence of any major widespread issues, and it actually includes fixes for earlier problems, including the black screen bug.

Lenovo's Windows 11 gaming laptop that expands horizontally is real, and it's super cool, but it's a concept for now.

Google is literally hiring "AI Answers Quality" engineers to fix Google Search AI hallucinations. "Help the AI Answers Quality team deliver AI Overviews to users' hard and complicated queries on the SRP and in AI Mode," the job listing reads. How about allowing users to turn off AI mode/AI Overviews instead?

Microsoft's ad production team produced a Mcroslop where Windows 11 taskbar has Google Chrome... after all these years of telling people to never use Chrome.

Turn off this setting in Settings to block Windows 11 from adding "Share with Copilot" to your app windows on the taskbar. (This feature and setting toggle are rolling out to everyone, so they won't show up right away).

here goes another AI agent into Meta AI’s coffin

Microsoft is rolling out GPT 5.2 to Copilot on the web, Windows, and mobile. Microsoft tells me it'll roll out to everyone in the coming weeks. 'Smart' mode on Copilot routes to GPT 5.1, while Smart Plus uses GPT 5.2 to Thinking (likely standard, low juice).

Seven years ago, T-Mobile basically responded with "trust me, bro" over potential data breach concerns

Nothing to see here. Windows 11 Search is being dumb as usual

X appears to be switching to the "For you" tab when I am using the Following tab. I WANT TO USE THE FOLLOWING TAB. Every refresh opens the For you tab instead :/

EXCLUSIVE: This is Lenovo Legion Pro Rollable. Legion Pro Rollable is Lenovo's first powerful Windows 11 gaming laptop with a new rollable display technology. ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable was Lenovo's first rollable laptop, but it offered vertical screen real estate. On the other hand, the Legion Pro rollable has a horizontal rollable display.

Google pop-up is now tellilng Chrome users to use... Chrome? Fun

Cloudflare is down again. Seriously need to reconsider Cloudflare at this point. Why are we paying for an enterprise plan when all we get is AI products, some transparency report, and no stability?

ChatGPT is down.
