I started the day off with an early start with the courier coming to pick up the computer I had just sold – so much easier to get a courier to pick it up rather than trying to find some way to get down to the place where the courier company operates. After it being picked up mum shouted me a brunch where I had an eggs bene along with a bowl of moccachino which came with a couple of marshmallows. It was an enjoyable brunch and then for dinner I had am omelette with all the toppings like sundried tomato, mushrooms, chargrilled capsicum etc. which was a tasty but light meal after having a pretty filling meal at brunch.

Windows 11 25H2 appears to have jumped to 26220 (link) which was a bit surprising because I assumed that the next release would be 26200 but then again I guess we’ll need to wait until it is all finalised. There are rumours that there is a 26400 series being worked on for handheld gaming devices to make it more efficient on low powered devices which makes me wonder whether we’ll see those changes eventually merged back into the mainstream release of Windows 11 on the desktop, laptop etc. There is also the nVidia based SoC being worked on but delayed – to what extent is the delay due to Windows 11 (as rumours have been going around that maybe it is the cause for the delay although given the audience it is targeting if it was simply hardware related then why not just bundle Linux with it and then if people want Windows then they can upgrade after the release once it is ready) I’m unsure but it’ll be interesting to see what happens.

One thing to remember with the insider releases, the canary channel is at the head of the development tree where all the latest and greatest features are made available but keeping in mind there is no guarantee that those features will make their way back to the developer or beta channel. Many cases the canary channel is used as a testing ground to get a sense of whether something should be developed further based on the feedback they’re provided or whether there isn’t enough enthusiasm for it and thus isn’t developed further or the feedback provided is positive but requires more time to develop feature fully.
