<li>Microsoft deprecates SCOM packs, pushes Azure monitoring: Microsoft is deprecating System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) Management Packs for SQL Server Reporting Services, Power BI Report Server, and SQL Server Analysis Services by January 2027. This forces organizations to migrate to Azure-based monitoring solutions, which requires registering on-premises servers with Microsoft’s cloud. Analysts, as reported by The Register, warn this shift could increase exposure to Microsoft’s license compliance audits, raising concerns about data privacy and compliance risks for complex or legacy infrastructures. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/Lyoqg9qSt" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li>Intel faces server CPU supply constraints amid AI demand: Intel has warned it cannot meet the surging demand for server CPUs required by AI workloads in data centers, leading to a 13% drop in its share price. Despite operating manufacturing facilities at full capacity, the company is struggling with supply constraints and manufacturing lag times. Intel’s CEO, Lip-Bu Tan, expressed disappointment, highlighting that demand for server CPUs alongside AI chips is the unexpected spike, further complicated by a global memory chip shortage, according to Bloomberg. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/4urCLb8ya" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li>Microsoft provided FBI with BitLocker recovery keys: Microsoft provided the FBI with BitLocker recovery keys to unlock laptops in a fraud investigation, marking the first publicly reported instance of such cooperation. By default, BitLocker keys are uploaded to Microsoft’s cloud if users sign in with a Microsoft account. Security experts warn that this default setting creates privacy risks and vulnerabilities if Microsoft’s infrastructure is breached, as reported by TechCrunch. Users can opt out, but it’s not the default. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/6Aq315WBk" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>

<li>Anthropic CEO predicts AI will replace software engineers in 6-12 months: Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, speaking at Davos, boldly declared that AI models could handle most, if not all, software engineering tasks within 6-12 months. He even claimed some Anthropic engineers already use AI to write code, relegating humans to mere editors. While he admitted uncertainty in his timeline, it’s always fun to hear a CEO of an AI company predict the imminent obsolescence of a massive workforce, especially when it conveniently boosts their own narrative. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/0fyNmKnQE" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li>AI coding agents disrupt developer workflows and education: Jeffrey Wei, an ed-tech platform owner, claims AI coding agents led to a 40% staff reduction in his company and that his personal productivity is at an all-time high. Apparently, we’re all just architects and reviewers now, not actual coders. It’s a permanent, fundamental industry shift, he says, conveniently ignoring any potential downsides or the fact that his personal experience might not be universal. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/KfJ8s7nDm" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li>AI’s economic impact hinges on ‘circulation and diffusion’: This article argues that AI’s economic benefits require ‘broad circulation of value’ and warns that a ‘labor replacement’ scenario could collapse demand. It suggests AI labs should use ‘diffusion metrics’ and companies should ‘reinvest productivity dividends into workers.’ So, basically, AI is great, but only if we all play nice and share the wealth, which, historically, has always worked out perfectly with every major technological shift. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/WBulLXZDP" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
