a new CPU boosting feature that will make your start menu, search and other core functions open faster. Finally, Microsoft's pop up ad for Edge can ruin my day in record time. I'm Linus Sebastian, this is TechLinked and Microsoft's new low latency profile will spike your CPU to maximum frequency for a brief 1 to 3 second burst before dropping back down to power saving mode. This will have the greatest impact on budget and mid range and older PCs. While top tier rigs are unlikely to notice a big improvement. Unfortunately, installing the update doesn't automatically turn LLP on. Microsoft is using controlled feature rollout to activate it gradually, possibly to make sure that CPU boosting the Start menu isn't going to fry everyone's PCs or more likely nuke their battery life. If you wanna check if you have the feature, too bad you can only tell if it's on by monitoring whether your CPU gets a little hit of meth whenever you open up the Start menu. If you don't get the speed boost though, at least you'll get some bug fixes from what also happens to be the largest Patch Tuesday update ever, fixing roughly 200 flaws, including 3.0days and blowing past the previous October record of 170. The only thing that could make this update better is as if it just deleted Windows and installed Linux instead. Google is asking a court to throw out a proposed class action lawsuit over its Lyria Music AI on the grounds that uploading a song to YouTube already hands over the right to train AI on it, a revelation that probably would have led to some shocked what no before 2022? Now we're all just used to it. So back in March, a group of indie artists claimed that Lyria 3 was which can whip up a 30 second jingle from a text prompt, was trained on their tracks without giving them a dime or even a courtesy heads up. And the system artists would normally use to catch this type of thing. Content ID is the same copyright detection bot that Google built and runs itself. But while other companies accused of this hide behind the fair use argument. Google went a different route. It owns YouTube, so the upload agreement that you definitely red top to bottom supposedly handed that company a worldwide royalty free sub licensable license to your work. So think of it less like stealing and more like guiding the hand of your sleeping great aunt so she technically co signs your lease.

Anthropic is rolling out Cloud Fable 5, a safe version of Mythos, the company's sweet little model that they previously said was safe, simply too powerful to release publicly. But don't worry though, that scary model stays locked to the elite members of its Project Glasswing program. Yeah, that doesn't sound spooky. We meanwhile get the nerfed version and according to Anthropic's head of product management, if a student asks Fable to find cyber vulnerabilities in some code, the model will refuse and Fable 5 will fall back to Opus 4.8. So essentially the AI will mentally revert to a younger phase of its development, no childhood trauma required. Anthropic said this triggers in under 5% of chats and covers topics like biology, chemistry, distillation, you know, bioweapons things. I really hope that the fallback works. Still, it is reportedly state of the art on nearly every benchmark, and Stripe reportedly used it to migrate a 50 million line code base in a day, a job that would take two months by hand. Sure it's double the price of Opus 4.8 and its guardrails are the only thing preventing the next teen Oppenheimer. But hey, the best things in life are also a little scary, aren't they? Except for our sponsor Odoo.

These five speedy small pieces are kind of like Pokemon. You can't catch just one. No, legally you're obligated to catch them all. Stick around. Instagram is bringing its algorithm controls to the main feed, so instead of just guessing your interests from years of observing you, you can just tell it what you want to see. More or less of the pitch is that this is gonna help the feed adapt to your changing moods. Cute. But the algorithm already watched you watch nine straight hours of capybara videos, so if we're being realistic, it probably knows what you want better than you do. Donut Labs Miracle Solid State battery has been exposed as an ordinary lithium ion by researcher Ziroth and a panel of over 20 battery experts in a YouTube expose, the company had wowed attendees at CES 2026, promising a cell that charged in five minutes and survived 100,000 cycles. Then they raised about $25 million from 1,300 investors. So yeah, that's awkward. Cause it turns out the revolutionary breakthrough was just the battery in your phone. And the only solid state thing here was the glaze on top.

Google just launched Gemini 3.5 Live Translate, a voice to voice model that streams the translation a few seconds behind you across more than 70 languages. On Android, you can hold the phone to your ear just like a regular call. And best of all, it preserves your tone and pitch so the translated voice sounds like an approximation of you. That's perfect for scam calls in dozens of languages that you can't even speak. And Tampa General Hospital in Florida teamed up with beloved dystopian surveillance state enabler Palantir to surveil patients for signs of sepsis before it turns deadly. The system has helped save an estimated 886 lives since 2022 by continuously scanning vitals and medical reports for about 1,000 patients, flagging warning signs so that a response team can deliver antibiotics within the hour. I guess the government getting in bed with a tech giant named after a far seeing orb that was misused by an evil tyrant to spy on the peoples of Middle Earth was a good idea after all.

And finally, researchers at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore built a seed sized surgical robot that's a Swiss army knife of tin medical horrors. This millimeter scale bot can cut, grip and store tissue, dispense drugs, and heat up to deliver hyperthermia treatments, all while magnetic fields steer it across the bumpy, unstructured terrain of your insides. It's comforting to know that medical science has finally achieved its ultimate goal of putting a remote controlled, tiny Roomba with a knife inside my body.

That was the goal. That's what we're trying.

That's terrific. And your body will appreciate it when you come back on Friday for more tech news. Just be careful you don't let that youngster Pokemon trainer block your path. He will not stop talking about how much he loves shorts cuz they're just so comfy and easy to wear.
