Claude Code is suddenly everywhere inside Microsoft


Software engineers at Microsoft are now expected to use both Claude Code and GitHub Copilot and give feedback comparing the two, I’m told. Microsoft sells GitHub Copilot as its AI coding tool of choice to its customers, but if these broad internal pilot programs are successful, then it’s possible the company could even eventually sell Claude Code directly to its cloud customers.


Guys? Are we going to have to rename Microsoft products from Copilot to Claude soon?

Microsoft Claude 365?

Wiarton Willie predicts early spring, but Punxsutawney Phil disagrees


Wiarton Willie, along with most of his Canadian counterparts, has predicted an early spring after he did not see his shadow on Monday morning on Groundhog Day.

Groundhog Day is a long-held tradition of watching animals coming out of hibernation to predict whether there'll be an early spring or six more weeks of winter.

Every Feb. 2, groundhogs and even a crustacean emerge from their shelters to see if they see their shadows.

Danish Students Face Legal Action and Fines Over Textbook Piracy


After "awareness" campaigns that failed to move the needle for years, Denmark’s leading anti-piracy group is shifting to a more aggressive litigation strategy. The Rights Alliance confirmed it will begin filing civil lawsuits against individual students who are caught sharing even a single digital textbook. The anti-piracy group prefers not to mention the targeted platforms but says it uses undercover monitoring of private groups to gather evidence.

Den främsta anledningen är att Wien i princip inte ökat sin befolkning på 100 år. 1910 hade Wien en befolkning på drygt 2 miljoner invånare och 2025 har Wien en befolkning på drygt 2 miljoner invånare. Wien har inte varit utsatta för nåt tryck när det gäller bostadsmarknaden utan där alltid funnits ett överskott på bostäder.

‘We Don’t Know the Word Surrender’: Cubans Respond to New U.S. Threats


Limia Díaz is a historian, writer, member of the National Union of Writers and Artists of Cuba and director of the Cuban TV program MARCAS.

Feb. 2, 2026

The U.S. military leaders know that Cuba is not Venezuela, that they wouldn’t have the easy victory of January 3rd. We do not know the word surrender, and that is why Trump has set out to recreate the shameful chapter of Weyler’s Reconcentration, ordered by that Spanish general to starve our people into submission, given his inability to defeat the Mambí Army on the battlefield. They cannot forgive us for being considered a moral compass despite all the difficulties, and the spirit of revenge leads them to act with genocidal cruelty. What will humanity do: succumb to fascism or respond with courage and integrity? “Whoever stands with Cuba today, stands for all time.”

The upgrade argument for desktops doesn't stand up anymore


I haven’t thought about it in a while but the premise of the article rings true. Desktops are overall disposable. Gpu generations are only really significant with new cpu generations. CPUs are the same with real performance needed a new chipset and motherboard. At that point you are replacing the whole system.

Is there a platform that challenges that trend?
