Microsoft's business unit shuffle and shrouded AI spending spark a sharp conversation on whether shareholders and users can trust what's hidden behind new financial reports. Also, Start11 v3 adds Start widgets and menu sharing, plus Taskbar Islands, app groups, and more. Finally, LM Studio is the obvious place to start with local AI, and it works on any PC (not just an RTX Spark). Just be sure to get the right app.Microsoft Earnings Microsoft earned a net income of 36.6 billion on revenues of $92.3 billion in the quarter ending September 30, 2026 Those are both double-digit gains over the year-ago quarter, or 32 percent and 19 percent growth, respectively, year-over-year (YOY) We were promised more transparency, but what we got is a mixed bag Microsoft is too complicated a business for only two top-level business segments Windows revenues from PC makers down 27 percent (!) XBOX gets a hard revenue number, and it's not bad Microsoft spent $45.2 billion on capex (AI) expenses, up 30 percent - this is not the real number - and it will get bigger No paid Copilot numbers, weird Microsoft "earned" $10 billion in revenue from OpenAI - OpenAI still owes Microsoft money - MS stake in OpenAI is down; no one said why Windows We talked about this last week, but I now have two sources at Microsoft confirming that Microsoft's AI strategy is the reason it's fixing Windows 11 Microsoft discusses its work to make Windows 11 fit in 8 GB of RAM Microsoft Edge is the first Windows browser to support accelerated app launches Experimental and Experimental 26H1 get new inline actions for the new Windows Search Hardware It's been weird watching other reviewers try to figure out RTX Spark, but this much is clear: This platform is not ready Baby steps: A few minor victories after weeks of defeats More earnings AMD up 45 percent to $13.4 billion Intel up 21 percent to $16.5 billion Google/Alphabet up 25 percent to $127.6 billion Apple up 12 percent to $114.5 billion Amazon up 12 percent to $202 billion AI/dev Three and a half years after it should have happened, Anthropic, Google, Microsoft, and OpenAI agree to let sites opt out of scraping OpenAI to unify chat and Work but not Codex Google says schools that disable AI will lose access to Google Search - They're integrated.

What happens when a 27-year-old gets handed the keys to completely refactor nearly all of Cisco's code? This week's episode dives into tech's strangest management bets and the friction brewing inside one of the industry's giants. Cisco gives a 27-year old the task of recoding 98% of their software with AI. A serious but not earth shaking vulnerability found in PXE booting. The largest ($6.3 BILLION) financial heist in history (with crypto). 710 Polymarket gambling wallets emptied of $2.7 million. A new robots.txt control for AI bots, and agreement to obey it. Google generates haiku from the first orbital AI. From our listeners: Does stealth updating make sense, how to move web servers off the Internet, books don't contain knowledge, a small company attacked by powerful AI, how would an "AI kill switch" be implemented.

This week we're contemplating an Untitled Ginux Show -- or at least that's the bit, based on the completely vibe-coded Linux replacement we talk about. Then CachyOS has a surprisingly underwhelming benchmark performance, with some details to unpack. OpenEuler keeps the AI hype train running, System76 has an impressive desktop announcement, and it looks like a new Raspberry Pi is finally coming. Floorp is an interesting take on the browser, Omarchy is coming for BSD, and Ubuntu has lots planned for Tenacious T-Rex. For tips, we have kernwatch and filelight for system monitoring, ebook-meta for more library management, and vt-cli for Virus Total access without the browser.

In our ongoing quest to develop a moon base, could we possibly utilize the area beneath the surface of the moon in order to make the moon habitable? In this episode of This Week in Space, Tariq Malik and guest host Mike Wall of Space.com talk with Than Putzig of the Planetary Science Institute about a NASA-backed payload bound for the Marius Hills Pit, a roughly 50-meter-wide opening that may lead into a lunar lava tube to gather more data about these formations on the Moon and the possibility of these lunar caves becoming the Moon's first living habitats for humans. Putzig explains how geophysical instruments on a rover could detect hidden voids beneath the surface and measure the size of these lava tubes. We also ask Than how these lava tubes form, what a follow-up robotic explorer could reveal, and how this research fits alongside NASA's Artemis plans for a south polar moon base. Join us!
