US senator wants to slap prison term, $1M fine on anyone aiding Chinese AI with ... downloads?

Hawley is a complete tool. Grandstanding attention (they would say sex worker here, rhymes with, and is a bore).

Microsoft makes sweet, sweet music with Windows MIDI Services

Time Machine, set the controls

"We will have bugs."

Yeah, you definitely will. At least you are blatantly admitting it (MicroShaft can't get midi working in 2025)!

"MIDI can be a contentious technology. For every computer fan left agog from hearing The Secret of Monkey Island theme through MT-32 hardware, there are dozens bruised by playground squabbles over which is better – the Atari ST and its built-in MIDI capabilities or the Commodore Amiga and its superior graphics?"

Wtf?! Is that a joke? Was this written in 1985? Midi was brilliant and still does what it says on the tin (same for OSC). Who the heck is having problems with midi these days?

"Having inbox MIDI 1.0 and 2.0 drivers means the end of badly written OEM drivers."

Oh, like RME, Focusrite, and all the rest?

"...so not everything will work out of the box. Microsoft wants users to report issues and backward compatibility problems with existing hardware and software."

Ha ha, hahaha, the joke is on you, the midi user who falls for this crap.

As already commented- MicroShaft should have had midi, OSC, and ASIO straightened out decades ago. It's not some kind of brain surgery, rocket science.
