And Nvidia is walking back the $100 billion investment promise for
OpenAI.
Saying the figure wasn't "a fixed" amount.

The financial people are getting a little nervous about the incestuous manner the AI people are taking in each other's washing and calling it
good.
It appears Microslop is figuring out "full speed ahead" for integrated
AI crap isn't cutting it with their customers. They're talking now about cutting back on AI and actually fixing issues in Windows — including increasing the speed for video games. (Are they're embarrassed that
Linux, emulating Windows, can run some video games faster than native
Windows 11?)
They're even talking about the security risks in Recall, and talking
about modifying it — and limiting ads somewhat.

I'll be taking a wait-and-see approach with this one. Either way, that's
not even the biggest issue for me now. If fTPM stuttering remains, I'll be happy to keep Windows in the rear-view mirror.

Supposedly they're going to have "swarms" of engineers fixing the real hardware issues. So maybe they'll get to the stuttering issue. I don't
know.
It could all just be trying to placate their user base and won't amount
to anything.

I doubt that they'll fix it because they put the blame on the
manufacturers. Meanwhile, the manufacturers put the blame on AMD. For its part, AMD has shipped a fix in the form of BIOS updates, but only for the manufacturers of certain motherboards. In the end, it's a mess which only Linux fixes by disabling the hardware random number generator entirely for problematic chips.

I guess you're probably right on this. I'm sorry that it is an issue. It seems ridiculous that they can't work on this to get fixed (whomever's responsible for the screw up).

They won't fix it because TPM is a requirement for Windows 11. They can either remove that requirement, as well as the insistence that everything
be encrypted with Bitlocker, or they can update the BIOS for every laptop and desktop using a modern AMD computer. For them, it's easier to just
point us in the direction of the closest retailer and tell us to buy a new computer. In response, I'm giving them all the finger and migrating to a platform which _acknowledges_ the problem (Torvalds was very vocal about it), and actively circumvents it.

Good move, in my opinion. But the Microslop position still seems insane
to me.
