End of kernel-level Anticheat
SteamDeck HQ noticed a recent blog post from John Cable, the vice president of program management for Windows servicing and delivery, that hints Microsoft wants to find ways around drivers and tools using kernel-level access. This is partly due to world-wide embarrassment of Cloudstrike and other kernel-level systems that are beginning to proliferate.
Cable mentions VBS Enclaves featuring a way to provide an isolated environment that don’t require kernel drivers along with Microsoft Azure Attestation’s security advancements.
If this happens, the mechanisms that caused Cloudstrike and kernel-level anti-cheat software would be immediately rendered inoperable – something almost all gamers would applaud.
It’s definitely no guarantee Microsoft will do anything – but stopping the spread of kernel-level direct access would dramatically improve Windows security and stability.
How World War 1 started out
Replace each animal/kid/parent with the name of the country, and this is pretty much how WW1 started…

- US enters the war
North Korea makes off with $1.5 billion in cryptocurrency
When North Korea isn’t infiltrating Fortune 500 companies using fake identities, they are making off with the biggest Bitcoin heist in history.
In February 2025, North Korean hackers successfully infiltrated Bybit and walked away with $1.5 billion in cryptocurrencies – the largest theft in history. The group has become notorious – stealing $1.3 billion in 2024 and $660.5 million in 2023.

Lol camping
It was fine until the end…yikes!
As someone that lives in downtown Portland, I can attest this is not far off what I hear all day – except that last bit about the domestic violence. The comments in the video laughing about how common domestic violence in EU flats is…disturbing.
Travel – even if it scares you
Don’t be afraid to spend money on traveling.
Be afraid of growing old and realizing that the only place you ever went was to work.
Modern Shakespeare
Jerry Wayne gives some astounding literary reflections on things like a failed hotel toilet, mosquitos, and his summer electric bill.
He definitely sounds more literate and educated than half the people I know here in Portland.
Yelling FIREBALL! for real
Want to capture the magic of LARPing? The $3 indie game Mage Arena is shooting up the Steam charts. Make a lobby of up to eight players, divide into Wizards and Warlocks, and start yelling “FireBall!”, “Freeze!”, and “Magic Missile!”
The game is voice controlled. You speak your spells – and reviewers say it works really well – which is a nice change of pace from many voice controlled games that often have a…less than perfect voice recognition hit rate.
The mechanics are comical. Fireballs hit like localized nukes or obliterate the caster if they’re land too close. A direct freeze spell hit turns your friend into a hilarious block of ice while you ready a magic missile barrage.
Microsoft Basic for 6502 is free
Microsoft has released the version 1.1 source code of “Microsoft BASIC for 6502 Microprocessor” on GitHub, which means you can freely view the assembly code and download it if you want. [PCWorld]
What’s wild is that the entire source for BASIC is a single 6955 line long 6502 assembly file. Also bonus points for back-dating the checkin so it says it was checked in 48 years ago – long before github was even a glimmer in SVN’s eye.
