My life's a command line, mostly running Kubuntu. When I'm not taming IT dragons or dabbling in sysadmin sorcery, I'm probably staring at my mountain of unplayed games. Send coffee (and more time)! β˜•οΈπŸ‘Ύ

No, an AI-focused "Windows 12" is not coming this year β€” here's the plan A new report has caught the internet's attention, claiming that Windows 12 is coming this year and will be a modular, AI-powered OS. Here's why that's wrong.

Thankfully it was just a load of AI Slop.

I did the same today, one thing that tickled me was that Windows 11 doesn't come with the drivers for the onboard WiFi out of the box but Linux does.

I always wondered what they would have looked like with a back similar to the Pixels. Always nice looking devices.

A low-angle shot of a tiger sleeping peacefully atop a large, textured grey rock. The tiger's head rests on its paws, and the background features bare tree branches against a white sky.

A close-up of a tiger resting its chin on its large front paws. The tiger has orange and black stripes with a white ruff around its neck and is looking calmly toward the camera with heavy-lidded eyes.

Galen Moonshadow, an Oath of Vengeance Paladin, depicted as a half-elf male with short brown hair, pointed ears, and large white feathery wings. He wears bronze and gold armor and brandishes a glowing blue energy sword while riding Lulu the Hollyphant, who appears as a massive elephant adorned with decorative gold armor on her head, tusks, and legs. The background features a fiery hellscape with flames, dark skies, and jagged terrain.

Bramil Sporebeard, a Hill Dwarf Druid tending to his garden. A realistic fantasy illustration of an elderly dwarf with pale, bark-like skin and a thick grey beard tangled with moss and small roots. He is kneeling in a dimly lit cave, carefully tending to a patch of glowing blue and purple mushrooms with small gardening tools. He wears rugged leather armor adorned with pouches and vials, and a large glowing beetle rests on his left shoulder. A gnarly wooden staff leans against a stalagmite in the background, illuminated by the soft bioluminescence of the cave.

Finally managed to finish campaign 2 with the group last Monday. It's sad to see the Galen go but excited to play with my new character Bramil this Monday! #dungeonsanddragons

A social media post from ASUS Republic of Gamers announcing the ROG Ally handheld gaming console. The device is white with a black screen and a glowing ROG logo and Xbox logo in the centre. Above the device, the text reads 'ROG XBOX ALLY' and '#playALLYourgames'. A countdown timer below the device shows '19:26:30' with the text 'PREORDERS DROPPING SOON!' above it. The background is dark with bright neon blue and pink lighting streaks.

A movie poster for "Twisters." Three people, a man in the center and a man and a woman on either side, are running through a green field. Behind them, a large storm with multiple tornadoes is brewing under a dark, cloudy sky. The movie title "Twisters" is at the bottom of the poster, along with the names of the main actors and the release date "JULY 11."

As we head into a new week, please remember that your best is good enough. Try to not compare yourself to others, and don’t be misguided by other people’s material things or status. Those things matter not. If you can live each day with kindness, you are the richest soul. Rest well, my friends. 😊
