Microsoft reportedly sabotaged Windows 95 and 98's Control Panel, or it looks that way – is this a worrying revelation?

Microsoft reportedly sabotaged Windows 95 and 98's Control Panel with a hard-coded 8 second delay when using the 'Add New Hardware' wizard.
The reason behind this delay is unclear, but it is speculated to be a workaround for hardware limitations at that time.
There are concerns about whether similar tactics were used in more modern operating systems like Windows 10 and Windows 11.
While Windows 9x versions are no longer relevant, the discovery raises questions about potential blunders in the legacy Control Panel that could affect Windows 11 users facing issues with the 24H2 update.

Wow, pnpm, You’re Really Fast

pnpm is a package manager that saves users space and reduces build time by handling package storage differently from npm and Yarn.
When you install a package, pnpm keeps it in a global store on your machine then creates a hard link from it instead of copying, so that there is only ever one copy of a module kept on disk.
This approach saves gigabytes of disk space and provides a leaner, faster way to manage packages, which makes it ideal for a streamlined deployment environment like Heroku.
Since May 2024, pnpm is now available in Heroku via Corepack.
To get started with pnpm on Heroku, users can enable and use it with corepack after creating a new project folder.
Comparing common commands, the usage for pnpm is fairly similar to that of npm or Yarn and should be intuitive.
Users can install dependencies, build, prune devDependencies, and cache build with pnpm, which significantly speeds up build time compared to npm.
In our test, the initial build with npm using the timing buildpack took 16 seconds, while that of pnpm only took 7 seconds.
Through its storage approach, pnpm frees up substantial disk space, reduces build time in subsequent builds, and provides a faster way to manage packages, making it an attractive package manager for developers to consider.
Moreover, with its support for Heroku, it offers a seamless path to deployment in the cloud.

What is Apple Intelligence? Apple’s new AI toolkit explained

Apple Intelligence is a system that utilises the ever-growing capabilities of generative AI to make your iPhone, iPad and Mac experience that little bit smarter and more helpful.
GenAI-powered features available under the Apple Intelligence umbrella range from small features like AI automatically summarising incoming notifications and emails to more powerful tools like ChatGPT integration within Siri
Apple showcased the example of Siri correctly finding all photos of a woman called Stacey in New York, but only those where she’s wearing a pink jacket.
The use of Apple Intelligence promises you’ll never have to scramble for a pen and paper while on a phone call again. Simply initiate a recording while on a phone call on your iPhone and once the call ends, Apple Intelligence will generate a summary of key points for easy recall.
Apple Intelligence release date: First up, there’s no Apple Intelligence in countries in the EU right now, down to strict laws around the use of AI, though Apple says that Intelligence will come to the EU sometime in April 2025.
As for the wider rollout, it’s set to be staggered. Apple has confirmed that UK English support is coming alongside support for English in Canada, Australia, Ireland, New Zealand and South Africa as part of the iOS 18.2, iPadOS 18.2 and macOS 15.2 updates likely to drop towards the end of 2024.
Apple Intelligence is available across iPhone, iPad and Mac, though not every single Apple product is powerful enough to power the on-device generative AI experience
There’s no Apple Intelligence in countries in the EU right now, down to strict laws around the use of AI, though Apple says that Intelligence will come to the EU sometime in April 2025.
Apple Intelligence encompasses a range of AI-powered features and functionality across iPhone, iPad and Mac.
It brings with it an overhauled Siri experience, complete with new advanced functionality and features and even integration with competing LLMs.
