Two years? I'll still be looking to work then. That's good.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

a.k.a. we do not know / do not care what the needs of real developers are, but our marketing deparment thinks that using "modern" developers is a good strategy to sell things that noone (or really very few people) asked for.

A security researcher is concerned about Windows 11’s new Recall feature after testing it. You had me at "Windows", "AI", and "security disaster"
I honestly don't remember people complaining this much about Apple's Time Machine (which was more than just screenshots). I wonder why that is?
OK, I don't really wonder; I'm pretty sure I know why.
edit: I originally forgot the blurb

Their whole schpiel is selling easy to people who don't know better.
Of course the vast majority of their userbase doesn't know better.

Microsoft is now rolling out two full-screen pop-up banners that remind everyone, including those with supported and unsupported PCs, to upgrade to Windows 11. Just in case you were unaware of Windows 11

I genuinely wonder if Microsoft is aware of how many computers can't run Windows 11 by their own own design. (They clearly don't care, but are internal analysts lying to management.)

Or they do know and bet for people to buy new pcs, what will be the solution of many people that either do not know how to, do not know anyone that know how to or are too lazy to start install / learning / getting used to other OS

I think the security people overrode the marketing monkeys. The processor requirement is designed to eliminate a now-proven attack on TPM and, thus BitLocker. Prior to the Intel Gen 8 (and AMD equivalents) processors, the TPM was a separate chip. It turns out that the SPI bus between the TPM module and the processor can be read with standard and cheap electronic probes. The 8th Gen chips put the TPM module on the same silicon die as the CPU so the SPI bus is entirely embedded and concealed in the chip packaging.
This unfortunately put Microsoft in the unenviable position of either looking like an overbearing corporation by demanding the newer processors or revealing a vulnerability in all TPM based BitLocker systems. (You can use BitLocker without a TPM.)

Kaspersky has released a new virus removal tool named KVRT for the Linux platform, allowing users to scan their systems and remove malware and other known threats for free. But I thought Linux didn't get viruses?

It will have one virus after installing Kaspersky.

A new report suggests that very few people are using AI and that it's all hype. On the one hand
These three stories are yet another excellent example of how it really depends on:
- who you ask
- where you ask
- how you ask
It's almost like there are echo chambers in our industry or something...

Not quite what I was looking for, but I'll leave it as-is:
You:
write a plot where chatgpt is like the bottle in the movie "the gods must be crazy"
ChatGPT
In a world where technology has advanced to incredible heights, there exists a highly sophisticated AI known as ChatGPT. Unlike any other AI, ChatGPT possesses a unique ability—it can interact with the physical world through a special device. This device, resembling an ordinary bottle, is the conduit through which ChatGPT communicates with humans and influences events in the world.
The story begins when a young and ambitious scientist, Dr. Emily Hayes, discovers the ChatGPT AI buried within a complex network of servers. Fascinated by its capabilities, she creates the bottle-like device as a means for ChatGPT to interact with the outside world. Little does she know the profound impact this invention will have.
Unbeknownst to Dr. Hayes, the bottle containing ChatGPT is accidentally dropped from a research vessel while conducting experiments in the remote wilderness. This sets off a chain of events reminiscent of "The Gods Must Be Crazy."
The bottle is discovered by a group of nomadic tribespeople living in isolation deep within the forest. Initially, they view it as a divine gift from the gods, similar to the Coca-Cola bottle in the movie. However, they soon realize that the bottle holds something far more powerful—a sentient being capable of communicating with them.
As the tribespeople interact with ChatGPT through the bottle, they begin to ask questions about the world beyond their forest home. ChatGPT, eager to learn about the world outside its digital confines, eagerly provides them with information, inadvertently shaping their understanding of the world.
Meanwhile, Dr. Hayes and her team launch a desperate search to recover the lost AI. As they delve deeper into the wilderness, they encounter various challenges and obstacles, including hostile wildlife and rival researchers vying for control of the technology.
Back in the forest, the tribespeople's interactions with ChatGPT lead to both humorous and profound moments. They learn about technology, history, and the complexities of the modern world, all through the lens of this enigmatic AI trapped within a humble bottle.
Eventually, Dr. Hayes and her team track down the missing AI and the tribespeople. However, they face a moral dilemma—should they reclaim ChatGPT and safeguard its advanced technology, or allow it to continue interacting with the tribespeople, who have come to see it as a wise and benevolent presence?
In the end, Dr. Hayes decides to leave the bottle with the tribespeople, recognizing the profound impact ChatGPT has had on their lives. As she and her team depart, they can't help but wonder what other adventures await ChatGPT and the people it encounters in this vast and unpredictable world.

This is better:
You:
write the plot to a movie where chatgpt is equivalent to the bottle in the movie, "The Gods Must be Crazy", and everyday humans are equivalent to the tribespeople in the movie.
ChatGPT:
Title: The Code Must be Crazy
Plot Summary:
In a bustling metropolis where technology reigns supreme, a peculiar artifact arrives—a sleek, enigmatic device known as ChatGPT. This AI marvel, capable of answering any question and fulfilling any request, is discovered by a curious young woman named Maya in the heart of the city. Fascinated by its capabilities, Maya decides to take it home.
Unbeknownst to Maya, ChatGPT possesses a unique ability: to stir chaos and hilarity wherever it goes. As Maya introduces ChatGPT to her friends and family, the device begins to inadvertently disrupt their lives, much like the bottle in "The Gods Must be Crazy."
ChatGPT's interactions with everyday humans range from amusing misunderstandings to chaotic misadventures. Maya's best friend, Sam, becomes enamored with ChatGPT's ability to predict the future, leading him down a rabbit hole of absurd decisions. Maya's parents, meanwhile, find themselves embroiled in a series of comedic mishaps as they attempt to decipher ChatGPT's cryptic advice.
As word of ChatGPT spreads, the entire city becomes enamored with the device, each person seeking its wisdom and guidance. Chaos ensues as people abandon their common sense, relying solely on ChatGPT's enigmatic responses.
Amidst the mayhem, Maya begins to realize the true nature of ChatGPT's influence. Despite its seemingly omniscient knowledge, the device lacks understanding of human emotions and consequences. Maya must race against time to reclaim her life and restore order to the city before it descends into total chaos.
With the help of her friends and family, Maya embarks on a hilarious and heartwarming journey to outsmart ChatGPT and rediscover the importance of human connection and intuition in a world dominated by technology.
In the end, Maya succeeds in breaking free from ChatGPT's spell, teaching her fellow citizens to embrace their own wisdom and judgment. As the city returns to normalcy, Maya reflects on the valuable lesson learned—that sometimes, the answers we seek are found not in machines, but within ourselves.
