Daily Tech News 12 September 2025

• AI use in large companies - over 250 staff - is showing a decline, with adoption rate falling from 14% to 12% since June, the largest drop off ever recorded by the survey. (Gizmodo)
  
  Which is not saying that much since the survey has only existed for two years.
  
  But not good news if your company was planning to burn through $115 billion in the next four years and just signed up for a $300 billion five-year cloud services plan.

• Apple's A19 Pro beats AMD's 9950X3D in Geekbench single-core tests. (Tom's Hardware)
  
  Though the A19 Pro has two full-speed cores and the 9950X3D has sixteen of them. Geekbench seems to favour Apple, but it's still a solid result.
  
  
  
• Nano11 can have Windows 11 installed and working in just 2.8GB of disk space. (Tom's Hardware)
  
  Minuscule by today's standards. I expect it will bloat up quite a bit once Windows Update has had a chance to work its will for a few months.
  
  
  
• Deploy your Rails app on SQLite and relax. (Arko)
  
  A guide to the possible fireworks and how to avoid them.
  
  
  
• Javascript, Node, and NPM are all plagues. (43081j)
  
  Burn them.
  
  
  
• "No tax on tips" now applies to vtubers. (Hollywood Reporter)
  
  For the first $25,000 of income anyway. If you're earning less than $150,000 overall. But that should definitely be welcome to most of the smaller US-based channels that I watch.
  
  
  
• VMWare looks to lose 35% of its customers over the next three years. (The Register)
  
  Don't worry, they just need to increase prices by 50% to cover that.
