Google/Alphabet should tell MS that they are sorry Chrome's icon is not great - could MS design some for them? MS probably couldn't help themselves, and would let it through just to show off their shiny new graphic!

Silly, but re advertising Edge, Google did exactly the same when Chrome was rising.
They took advantage of free advertising via their search monopoly.
It was also default bundled with Acrobat Reader and Flash if I recall. So lots got Chrome unwittingly.

That's OK. When Microsoft first released their Chromium based Edge, Google claimed it wasn't secure despite the fact that it was running the same rendering engine. Turns out it was because Microsoft didn't tie Edge to Google security services but rather to Microsoft's own security services.
Oh, and as a SMB (Small/Medium Business) IT specialist, I consider Chrome to be a virus from the standpoint that even current versions never clean up their caches, which will eventually run any disk out of space.

Microsoft says the August 2023 preview updates released this week for Windows 11 and Windows 10 systems are causing blue screens with errors mentioning an unsupported processor issue. Is this their way of suggesting you upgrade your CPU?

Wow! Lucky me! I suspect this update caused an old Outlook (2010) to stop working. Just got the error "...Crypt32.dll cannot be found in your path..." I didn't change anything, and I see a PendingDelete file in the WinSxS folder, so maybe a restart will fix it. They really are trying some patience.

While Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E are still very common as they provide ample bandwidth for the vast majority of people, the next version of the technology is already well into the pipeline and is expected to take off by next year in 2024. No Wi-Fi 7 for your Windows 7

Wow, imagine that. "Artificial intelligence" found to be not so intelligent. It's seems to be more like a toddler that wants to please its parents any way it can, even if it's dead wrong.

You always get this kind of thing. The novelty wears off after a while.
However, I've also found the AI useful on a few occasions now - even sometimes when they get the answers wrong!
I'd say Microsoft screwed up by limiting Bing Chat to Edge.
They were never going to dethrone Google like that.
If anything it was, rather, a turn-off.
Early on there was a cross-browser extension, Bing Chat for All Browsers, that worked around this. It's what Microsoft themselves should have offered from the start and presumably a portion of such users would then start using Bing more in general, even if not as their default search. At the very least they would be using Bing Chat and not be unnecessarily locked out.
There is the third-party extension but how many people are aware of it?
Microsoft officially do now have an extension for Chrome not sure whether it works for Chromium browsers) that allows access. Chrome is not my default browser. I tried it briefly and found
- It didn't work.
- It changed default search to Bing.
Poor.
The third-party extension doesn't do that.
And btw access to Google Bard is not artificially restricted to the Chrome browser. Why didn't Microsoft do the same?

Meta has released a tool called Code Llama, built on top of its Llama 2 large language model, to generate new code and debug human-written work, the company said. Sure, why not. Everyone else has released one.
