This is the Daily Tech News for Tuesday, June 2nd, 2026.

We tell you what you need to know, give you the important context, and help each other understand.

Ah, and it is Microsoft Build, Microsoft's Developers Conference.

So we're going to talk about how they're trying to convince you to choose Microsoft as your AI co-pilot.

It's so weird that they would like start with AI at a developer conference in the year, 2026. Yeah. So what is this?

I'm Jason now. I'm Tom Barrett. Let's start with what you need to know with the big story.

And yes, Microsoft has kicked off its Build Developer Conference today.

You know, on Tuesday, it's all happening.

In fact, it's happening while we record this.

So, you know, if there's some big major announcement that happens, you know, we've caught a little bit of it that we're going to tell you about.

But there's plenty more and some of it we might miss. So we'll follow up on that tomorrow. We'll never miss, Jason. Don't tell them we're going to miss anything. We never miss. It's always exact. We're wizards. We arrive exactly what we're going to be. future. Yeah. No, if there if there is some more important stuff that happens later, we'll get to it tomorrow. But we have the biggest announcements that came right off the top.

And Microsoft Build is very developery.

If you're a developer, there's lots of good stuff in there.

But unlike Apple or Google, there's not as much for the mainstream audience.

But a couple of things here I think are worth paying attention to. First of all, new hardware

for developers called the Surface RtX Spark dev box. Very similar to what Nvidia announced

from itself yesterday because it uses Nvidiaidia's new arm-based

rtx spark right it's just this one's from microsoft and is called a surface instead of being a dgx

and from invidia uh kind of look i don't know what you said did you think it looked like an xbox

series s because seems like a lot of people did it's got a really really interesting look. I can't tell the scale of it.

You know what it reminds me of, and probably no one else, is early on when Google was

first announcing their Android TV boxes, they had this small little developer kit box.
