The second season of the smash hit sci-fi drama Severance finally premieres on January 17. However, Apple just threw us a bone by dropping the first eight minutes of the season. It's been nearly three years since season one completed its run, so this is a nice little holiday gift.
You can find the exclusive preview on the Apple TV app under the Bonus Content section of the Severance page. There will be no spoilers here, but the snippet does get into the fallout of the events of season one and may even touch on that surprising cliffhanger.
For the uninitiated, Severance is a sci-fi take on work/life balance in which certain employees at a shadowy corporation "sever" their work selves from their regular selves. This results in a harrowing, and occasionally hilarious, treatise about human identity and the lengths our corporate overlords will go to make a buck. It's very good. Best of all? Newbies won't have to wait three full years to watch season two.
Apple TV also just posted a bunch of images to social media that heavily imply its planning on a free weekend of sorts for non-subscribers, scheduled for January 4 and 5. The images are all tagged with slogans like "see for yourself" and "save the date."

For the last few years (2021, 2022, and 2023) we've recapped what I call Microsoft's wins, fails, and WTF moments: Microsoft's highs, lows, and the moments where you wondered what in the world that this company was up to.
We're not going to try and piece together the company's enterprise strategy (Azure and Copilot, basically). Instead, we're sticking to the fun stuff: Surface, Game Pass, and the madness that is Microsoft's AI. If you're upset, write us a nasty email and then use Copilot to rewrite it in a "professional" tone. We'll get to it…sometime.
Windows on Arm: WIN
When I reviewed the Microsoft Surface Pro 11th Edition this past June, powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite, I tested the application compatibility, too. Certain apps like Slack, Google, Drive, VPNs, and some games have all either refused to run or simply struggled, while the experience of using an old printer on a Snapdragon X platform just hasn't been all that great.
