After a tease in March, the USB Implementation Forum has declared that it has completed the USB 4 standard, implementing the USB-C connector, plus 40Gbps speed and other features of Thunderbolt 3. But the good news is that we'll (eventually) be forced to upgrade all our cables (and whatever they're connected to)

A survey suggests says that in our society of immediacy, our patience runs out within seconds. This is how many seconds. Article too long. I didn't read it, but maybe you can read the headline (and comment)

Speaking as someone who has an inkling about UX: the conclusions repeated in the article are bollocks.
People don't mind waiting -- really they don't.
What people don't like is being ignored.

It's bad enough that too much money is spent on ridiculously unnecessary research; now we have to put up with research from people who don't have a clue what they're researching?

Ah, yes.
That wonderful "help kids learn to code" tool from ms.
... Which operates entirely on the ms cloud, with all data stored on ms servers and subject to ms copyright, so that if any one of the million kids who sign up has a brilliant or innovative idea, it automatically belongs to ms, and the kid gets shafted.
That's the ms of today: The best way to treat brilliant people is to steal credit for their work and kick them to the sidelines.

The good news is that they already found funny nick names around the IA.
It will be clouded, relaying on networked WOPR hardware.
The IA name will be SkyNet because it is in the clouds.
They chosen MS for software, because of its strong record of fail safe products.
Just hope they will teach it the difference between winter massive grid breakdown and real attack or someone trying to pull the plug.

GaMeS4U2023 reported: In RTS news, the MMO Command & Conquer: Red Alert 19 servers hit a problem a few minutes ago, disconnecting over seventeen million players.
The company says that a DNS glitch caused the servers to connect exclusively to an external system, and... What was that bang?

“We have a President who just anger-tweeted Grace from Will & Grace and pondered nuking hurricanes and you're proposing that we should LOWER the threshold for the use of nuclear weapons? Read the room.” 
Well, to be fair, the article mentions "experts" came up with the idea, but not what their field of expertise actually is.
For all I know, this could've been suggested by bakers

The European Space Agency had to move one of its satellites out of the way to protect it from colliding with a SpaceX Starlink satellite, the space agency announced on Twitter on September 2. Was it using the Tesla auto-steering software?
