Now, this was one nice piece of hardware!

It is 2026 and glibc's longjmp still doesn't execute finalizers when truncating the stack.

@firefox.com is a great PDF reader. It can sync the TOC and navigate hyperlinks just fine. It can deal with the Arm ARM's 102 MiB file much better than Adobe's own reader which is a resource hog and is always trying to sell you something.

Q: "Hey Siri, what is the driving distance between Tacoma and Kirkland both in Washington". A: "I need to know your location. Please enable Siri access to location on your settings app." So... why do you need my current location to answer that question?

.NET Lab can now display disassembled machine code. It's taken directly from JIT, hence only supported on desktop for now. #dotnet #csharp #roslyn #asm #dotnetlab

Just bought this computer. What should I install first?

Science is a verb, not a noun.

AVX support in Prism finally made its way to Windows [Ge]! techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/windows...

Good news. In VS 2026 Preview /Oy- is now the default, even in the "Release" configuration. This is the case at least for new projects. Glad to see this finally fixed.

In case you had missed it - I had. VirtualBox now supports Windows on Arm. blogs.oracle.com/virtualizati... Not a bad alternative to the departed Windows Services for Android.

November 1994.

Now this is something unexpected: Tahoe's new "Apps" pannel behaves worse than Windows start menu. It is sluggish, at times downright unrespinsive, some UI elements just don't work... it is me or "26" is just not Apple's number?!

macOS Tahoe (download) is 20GB. Geez!

Some dev tools from colledge days...

My next macbook will have SVE. Will I still have my M1 by 2030?

Please, debug card manufacturers: Stop using micro-USB for UART ports. Just stop it. Really! No more. Please! There is this thing called USB-C now - been here for a while. Pretty solid. Give micro-USB honorable fairwell. Please!

alloc r1=ar.pfs,i,l,o,r the most beautiful instruction ever designed.

When there are all adults in an adult setting it is weird to ask where the "potty" is. You ask for the "bathroom", or some other adult word for it. Same goes for an engineer to say "BSOD". The word is "Bugcheck".

Very exciting news for the #WindowsOnArm ecosystem

🐞 Building a debugger = learning how computers really work. On today’s #GOTOpodcast, @timdbg.com & @tartanllama.xyz unpack: 🔍 The hidden complexity of stack unwinding & stepping 🖥️ Windows vs Linux debugging ⏳ Time travel debugging & the future 🎧 gotopia.tech/podcast

Branding is not everything... but it is something...

Preview of Xbox App finally fully functional on Arm64, allowing you to download and install purchased or subscribed games. Yes, most will be running under emulation and there will be glitches. But this is how we erode chick-and-egg adoption resistance to Arm64 blogs.windows.com/windows-insi...

I am getting a vibe from this USPS notification and it is not a good one...

Who's up for some beta testing of native Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects on their Arm64 Windows machines!? community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-... community.adobe.com/t5/after-eff...

I think I finally found a worthy replacement for my AMD Seattle: radxa.com/products/ori...

Wow… The new iOS language does look a whole lot like Windows acrylic…

youtu.be/dbMj54_eD24?... 🧠 When was the last time you saw hypervisor and kernel debugging at a conference keynote?

Me, testing the freshest LLM models, running on X Elite, with a really tough question.

Elon is Rivian's most valuable marketing asset.

Intel's 386 processor (1985) moved the x86 architecture to 32 bits, but it needed to be backward compatible with earlier 16 and 8-bit processors. As a result, it needed complicated circuitry for its internal registers: six different circuits for 30 registers. Let's look at the silicon circuits. 1/N

@pytorch.org now has native Windows ARM builds! blogs.windows.com/windowsdevel...
