	Hark! What light through yonder window breaks?	short
	Tis the tech news, and Windows, it breaks.	short
	Microsoft's Patch Tuesday update is causing certain Windows machines to stay on forever.	short
	The update was supposed to fix over 100 security vulnerabilities,	short
	including one that was already being actively exploited in the wild.	short
	But it seems to be causing some new issues.	short
	From the user's perspective,	short
	everything will look normal.	short
	As the shutdown animation plays, the screen goes dark, and then the PC just keeps running.	short
	Evidently, SystemGuard's secure launch just threw a tantrum when it was paired with the January patches,	short
	causing shutdown commands to be ignored.	short
	Security achieved!	short
	Microsoft did ship an emergency out-of-band fix on the 17th, just four days after breaking everything.	short
	So, everything's good?	short
	Well, not so much.	short
	The same update also broke remote desktop authentication	short
	for Azure Virtual Desktop and Windows 365 users,	short
	with credential prompts that either failed completely,	short
	or looped endlessly.	short
	Classic Outlook, with Pop Accounts, started freezing indefinitely.	short
	The app would look closed,	short
	but Outlook.exe would keep running in the background,	short
	blocking you from reopening it,	short
	and some users got random black screens.	short
	Also, File Explorer stopped respecting desktop.ini customizations.	short
	At this point, Windows updates feel less like improvements,	short
	and more like watching your uncoordinated uncle try and deep-fry a turkey in your driveway.	short
	Dangerously close to the garage!	short
	The RAM shortage, like the numbered Star Wars movies,	short
	doesn't just keep going,	short
	it somehow gets worse as time goes on.	short
	According to reporting from the Wall Street Journal,	short
	data centers chasing AI and cloud growth are expected to	short
	consume more than 70% of all memory chips produced in 2026,	short
	which leaves consumer PCs, laptops, and, I don't know, every other device,	short
	competing for a much smaller slice of the supply pie,	short
	keeping prices high and availability tight.	short
	Making matters worse,	short
	Bloomberg reports that US Commerce Secretary, Howard Letnick,	short
	has warned overseas memory makers	short
	that they could face tariffs as high as 100% unless	short
	they commit to expanding chip production in the US,	short
	a move that could further disrupt supply	short
	and raise costs in the near future.	short
	And the pain isn't stopping with RAM. As we seem to be constantly covering,	short
	shortages are now spilling over into GPUs, high-capacity SSDs,	short
	and even traditional hard drives,	short
	turning a memory mess into a full-blown component chaos.	short
	If this story is pissing you off and you're feeling a little overwhelmed,	short
	don't worry, we've got you covered.	short
	When this tech news is done, go check out LTT's recent video,	short
	appreciating some of the positive things going on in the tech world.	short
	I wish it wasn't the case, but yes,	short
	tech news these days does require a therapeutic chaser.	short
	Google just filed a notice to appeal the landmark antitrust	short
	ruling that declared it an illegal search monopolist.	short
	The company is asking a court to pause implementing	short
	the ordered remedies while the appeal plays out,	short
	which could drag on for years if it goes all the way to the US Supreme Court.	short
	Google's defense boils down to three arguments.	short
	One, people use Google because they just gosh darn want to, not because they're forced to.	short
	Two, the judge ignored all of the intense competition from AI startups.	short
	And three, their deals with Apple and Mozilla are totally normal business relationships based on quality.	short
	Apple chose Google because it's the best, not because it owns the entire internet.	short
	Ha, that would be crazy.	short
	You sound crazy right now.	short
	Now, if you guys are thinking, man, has this case ever been dragging out a long time,	short
	you're not wrong.	short
	The original suit was filed back in October of 2020,	short
	and then the ruling that they were in fact a monopoly came in 2024,	short
	with the remedies phase concluding in late 2025.	short
	The remedies stated that Google can still pay Mozilla and Apple to be the default search engine,	short
	but that any new deals are capped at just one year.	short
	They also have to share portions of their search index data with competitors	short
	and offer syndication services to rivals.	short
	Given the appeal,	short
	Google is asking for a pause on the data sharing and syndication requirements	short
	while the appeal plays out.	short
	But you don't have to make an appeal to me to check out our sponsor,	short
	Shakespeare once wrote,	short
	Therefore, since brevity is the soul of wit,	short
	and tediousness the limbs and outward flourishes,	short
	I will be brief.	short
	And the brief pieces live by that.	short
	Spotify just announced another price hike,	short
	the third US bump in about three years, with its premium subscription going from	short
	$11.99 to $12.99 a month, with other plans rising too.	short
	Unfortunately, this is yet another sign that rising subscription costs are the new normal for streaming fans.	short
	Meanwhile, Shadow Library and its archive, who previously backed up Spotify's library, without their permission,	short
	has been ordered by a US federal judge to delete its scraped WorldCat data and stop scraping or sharing it,	short
	though it's worth noting that the site isn't likely to comply.	short
	Yarr, they be renegades.	short
	They do as they please.	short
	They likely even use ad blockers.	short
	Elon Musk is claiming that Tesla will release new AI chips every nine months,	short
	beating Nvidia and AMD's yearly cadence.	short
	He tweeted on Saturday that their AI5 chip is supposedly almost done,	short
	and this comes a mere six months after he announced that it was finished.	short
	Musk is saying he expects these will be the highest volume AI chips in the world,	short
	which, given that they're shipping in millions of vehicles,	short
