@Daniel_Rubino Thanks for holding us accountable @Daniel_Rubino -- I mean it. We messed up bad here, and I personally apologize that this slipped by us. Here's how it happened, what we got wrong, and what we're doing to ensure it won't happen again. Not AI! pcworld.com/article/307975… ~@BradChacos

Retracted: Windows 12 "report." PCWorld basically retracting its own Windows 12 “exclusive” is the real story today. It shows how often rushed, inaccurate reporting is slipping into the tech cycle as publishing gets more competitive and, frankly, more desperate. Their editor even acknowledged the piece never should have gone live. What made it worse is how fast the original claim spread. One bad report about an “AI‑focused Windows 12 shipping this year” blew up across social and forums, even though Microsoft isn’t planning a Windows 12 launch in 2026 and is focused on stabilizing Windows 11 and dialing back AI bloat. (1/2)

@phantomofearth Yep. We messed up, and I personally apologize for it. Here's what happened, what we got wrong, and how we'll make sure it doesn't happen again pcworld.com/article/307975… ~@BradChacos

PCWorld has updated the "Windows 12" misinformation article with an editor's note, saying it "should not have been published" and it "does not meet publication standards". pcworld.com/article/306833…

@cybercpu Hi there! Absolutely not. But we absolutely messed up there. Here is what we got wrong, how it happened, and the steps we're taking to ensure it doesn't happen again. pcworld.com/article/307975… I'm personally sorry this got by us ~@BradChacos

@pcworld, was AI used for sourcing or even generating the original article?

We messed up. We're sorry. Here's how it happened, and how we'll be better going forward. I want to personally apologize for this and hope the transparency helps to rebuild your trust. ~@BradChacos executive editor pcworld.com/article/307975…

If you’ve been using your flat-rate Claude or Gemini account to feed OpenClaw and its eye-popping AI abilities, get ready to be banned. pcworld.com/article/306884…

Your AI isn’t broken. It’s just doesn’t know you yet -- complete with a cut-and-paste prompt that makes onboarding your AI easy-peasy! pcworld.com/article/306723…

If your work chats with ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini are more annoying than they are helpful, there’s usually a simple reason: it doesn’t know you yet. Now, helping your AI to get to know you is easier said than done. Where do you start? What does it need to know? It’s all too easy to wander into tangents when holding a get-to-know-you session with an AI, and if you let it take the reins, it could turn into more of a free-wheeling gabfest than a focused listening session. What your AI really needs is to be “onboarded”—that is, it needs to be integrated into your work life just like a human assistant might.

Why pay today's painfully high prices for storage when there are thousands of cheap used drives already on the market? A hard-drive dock or enclosure is how to turn cheap Facebook finds into PC storage options. pcworld.com/article/306376…
