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?

The leaked data included conversations between Microsoft support agents and customers which were recorded from 2005 to December 2019. Fortunately, most of them were people who couldn't figure out how to Google in Bing.
Only exposed for less than 24 hours, so I'm sure no one downloaded everything in that time.

Wow.
250 million instances of them telling people how to perform a clean boot is a Hell of a catch.

Data from over 213,000 coding tests revealed some IT skills hiring trends to look for in 2020. See what DevSkillers’ data reveals about recent IT trends from 49 different countries. Spoiler alert: JavaScript is popular
I was going to go with, "companies you probably don't want to work for are looking for..." (as I don't like the idea of an online test for hiring).

I'm shocked!
Does this mean that more web pages and databases are created than programs?
It doesn't seem possible!

PowerLauncher is a quick launcher with search features that also supports plugins. Because hitting the Windows key is too hard?

So, as a partial workaround for the GUI elements that ms has screwed up, over the last decade, this great genius has reintroduced the DOS find command?

how is this different from the start menu search?
simply press windows key and start typing what you want.
Most annoying thing of many tutorials is they will step through 3 windows to get to some control panel setting, when all they need to say is "Win + Chan" and whole list of settings for Change Date Time, Change Resolution comes up.

Sixty-four percent of those surveyed said they’d trust a robot more than their manager. So where does that leave people in leadership roles? The others aren't sure which are which

My last manager was brilliant and understood our market to a degree no AI/robot would. Concerning the article, what were the circumstances? Reading barcodes?

Sadly, they don't have the actual questions in their friggin' report, but I'm assuming they somehow pulled that number out of an orifice synthesized that 64% from:
Quote: According to our respondents, managers are better than robots at activities like understanding their feelings (45%), coaching them (33%), creating a work culture (29%), and evaluating team performance (26%). But robots are better than human bosses at tasks such as providing unbiased information (36%), maintaining work schedules (34%), solving problems (29%), and managing a budget (26%).

Microsoft has faced criticism in the past for the “ads” scatted throughout some of the apps Windows 10, but a much-loved free component of Windows might soon be part of the story now too. It looks like you're editing a document without sending us money. Would you like to help us with that?

I can't get over wordpad being called "much-loved".
I don't think I even know anyone who's ever used it -- except by accident, maybe.

I use it give a quick look at binary files, and to read text files that don't believe in CR.

I got the Notepad++ Hex Editor extension for that, because I couldn't find the editor I used to use (primarily because I've forgotten what it's called, so I wasn't successful searching for it).GenJerDan wrote: text files that don't believe in CR
Now that is a pain (yes, DooM wad makers, I'm looking at you), so I associate the txt extension with either TextPad or Notepad++ on my laptops (and just swear about it, on the desktops).

What a shame that this article is on a site that I've blocked for infringing the law.
I really would have enjoyed reading the words of such a great oracle and vanguard of technological innovation.

Yeah, sorry about that. I am trying to wean myself off posting anything from The Verge (and Engadget, and Techcrunch), but sometimes they're the only ones with an article on a topic.

Did me a favour, in this case, because if I could have read it, I would have read it, and it no doubt would have ruined my day.
