Thread 'Thailand 2025 AI for Law: PDPA-Aware, Defensible AI in Thai Legal Teams'
Thai in‑house counsel and litigation teams face a 2025 inflection point: generative AI has moved from experimental “time‑saver” to a regulated, business‑critical toolset that must be evaluated for PDPA compliance, explainability, and defensibility before it is used on client matters. The Nucamp roundup of “Top 10 AI Tools Every Legal Professional in Thailand Should Know in 2025” is a practical inventory for that transition, but it is only the starting point — each vendor claim and metric...
Thread 'Oracle's Big Bet: Backlog Driving OCI's Rise in AI Data Centers'

Thread 'Microsoft Trust Crisis: Nadella Says We Can Do Better After Layoffs and RTO'
Satya Nadella’s admission that Microsoft “can do better” — made in the wake of sweeping layoffs, a newly enforced return-to-office policy, and a widening employee protest movement over the company’s cloud work — is the clearest public acknowledgment yet that the tech giant faces a crisis of trust at the precise moment it is asking its workforce to accept deep structural change. Background The last 12 months have been among the most turbulent in Microsoft’s modern history. The company has...

Microsoft is quietly testing a one‑click internet speed checker directly in the Windows 11 taskbar that launches Bing’s speed‑test widget from the network menu in Insider preview builds, putting a quick diagnostic just a click away for everyday users and technicians alike. Background Windows has long lacked a built‑in, single‑click taskbar speed meter: users who wanted a persistent view of upload/download throughput or an instant speed test typically relied on third‑party tools...
Thread 'Copilot Veja: An Ear-Worn, Audio-First AR Vision'
Microsoft’s Copilot Veja concept cracks open a larger debate about the future of augmented reality: do we need another screen strapped to our faces, or should intelligence quietly live in devices we already accept? The ear‑worn Copilot Veja — a personal concept by Microsoft designer Braz de Pina — imagines exactly that: a discreet, audio‑first wearable that sees through stereo cameras and speaks contextual guidance, deliberately abandoning the persistent head‑mounted display many equate with...

Thread 'People-First AI Adoption: No-Code, Governance for Enterprise Success'
Every leader who’s rushed to “buy AI” and roll it out by fiat has learned the same lesson: technology without people is a cost, not an advantage. Background: why the conversation matters now Generative AI is no longer an experimental sidebar for labs and startups — it’s being embedded in Microsoft 365, enterprise back-ends, low-code/no-code platforms and customer-facing systems. That acceleration has produced a classic organizational mismatch: executives feel pressure to show progress...
Thread 'Oracle's AI Cloud Leap: From RPO Surge to OCI Growth'
Oracle’s latest earnings didn’t just move markets — they rewrote the rules for how a decades‑old enterprise software vendor can pivot into the center of the AI cloud arms race. Background / Overview In fiscal Q1 2026 (quarter ended Aug. 31, 2025) Oracle reported a set of headline figures that would be eye‑catching for any tech company: total revenue of $14.9 billion, cloud revenue of $7.2 billion, and, most strikingly, Remaining Performance Obligations (RPO) — the company’s booked future...

Thread 'Windows 11 Insider: One-Click Speed Test Uses Bing Widget in Network Menu'
Microsoft is quietly adding a one‑click internet speed test to Windows 11’s network menu — and while the button is a tidy UX win for quick troubleshooting, the current implementation simply opens Bing’s web speed‑test widget rather than running a native, in‑OS diagnostic, raising important questions about accuracy, telemetry, and enterprise suitability. Background Microsoft continues to iterate on Windows 11 via the Insider channels, and recent Dev and Beta preview builds (notably builds...
Thread 'Windows 10 End of Support 2025: ESU Options & Upgrade Paths'
Microsoft has set a hard line: on October 14, 2025, mainstream security updates for Windows 10 stop — and whether you upgrade, pay, or sign into a Microsoft account will determine if your PC stays protected for another year or becomes exposed to newly discovered exploits.

Thread 'Nano Banana: How Google's Gemini Sparks a Viral AI Figurine Trend'
A playful name and a deceptively simple prompt have pushed Google’s Gemini “Nano Banana” into the center of a new viral wave: users are turning ordinary selfies into hyper‑realistic miniature figurines, packaging mockups and even short animated clips with only a handful of words. The trend has exposed both the creative possibilities and the governance headaches of image‑first AI: Nano Banana (marketed as part of Google’s Gemini 2.5 Flash Image pipeline) makes photorealistic 3D‑style...
Thread 'India's Digital Sovereignty: Reducing Dependence on US Software and Cloud'
India’s digital backbone is more dependent on US-controlled software, platforms and cloud services than most citizens realize — and that dependence now reads as a strategic vulnerability in the eyes of national security analysts and independent researchers.
