Everyone's finally catching on to the fact that it has a +11! (Only a few years late - bum tish!)

I'd be careful with the "everyone" part.

97% of the leading cybersecurity companies have had their data exposed on the Dark Web in 2020, with over 160,000 high or critical incidents that may jeopardize their clients. This news brought to you by the other 3%

Microsoft recently made a change to Windows 10’s built-in antivirus software ‘Windows Defender’ or ‘Microsoft Defender’ that will warn you when you manually try to block telemetry data by editing HOSTS file. I'm sure they have HOSTS of reasons

Yeah, it's a severe financial security risk for them!

Obviously this is about the 0.001% of people who use windows while waging war on microsoft; and not about malware that tries to block all communications with MS in the fear that something sent back might tip off the people behind windows defender.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

'struth. I just wish they were a little more proactive about announcing these things. By locking down, then reacting when people complain, they look guilty of shenanigans. If they said, "Here's what we're doing and why" beforehand, that 0.01% might even accept it.

Specially crafted Windows 10 themes and theme packs can be used in 'Pass-the-Hash' attacks to steal Windows account credentials from unsuspecting users. It's hardly surprising: they are so directly interconnected (ugh)
Do people actually change their theme anymore?

When one of the main focus is "icons"... what do you expect?
How many of your own posts have been related to hard to believe problems due to idiotic ideas? 
But... as you say, hardly surprising anymore. Coming from MS I now believe almost everything.

A man has blown up part of his house in France while trying to swat a fly. "However, the fate of the fly is not known, news outlet Sud-Ouest notes."

Breaking news: "The fly is still at large, wrecking yet more havoc!"

Yes, the fly is destroying havoc!

C++ 20, the latest version of the venerable object-oriented programming language, has been unanimously endorsed in ISO's final technical approval ballot. It passed on Friday September 4, 2020, and not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. The mutex were hung in memory with care, in hopes that Bjarne Stroustrup soon would be there.

I really like the enhancements to std::atomic_flag[^] , which didn't even make the article. It should simplify a lot of this condition variable nonsense. For all the dissing of Windows, its CreateEvent, WaitForSingleObject, and SetEvent combination has long provided the same functionality.

std::atomic_flag has been around for nearly a decade. It was added in C++11 but I was using it long before that in the old TR1 libraries.
But I think you are referring to P0995R1

Right--I was just updating my post to mention the C++20 enhancements.

Kent, I don't think you're reacting to pain. Or maybe you're into S&M?
