A report from the WSJ suggests other companies might also come into the fold to scale up the 5G network. It seems the US government wants to create a standard for engineering 5G infrastructure.

Despite its promises of “Nvidea drivers”, Steam support, and no ads, Windows 12 Lite is basically a scam. It’s a clone of Linux Lite, which is already free, with some desktop wallpapers thrown in. Needless to say, it’s not officially sponsored by Microsoft and you’ll have to pay for a physical DVD to use it.
