I already know exactly what will happen to my Windows 7 PCs on January 15, 2020.
They'll be rebooted to Linux, and the windows partitions will be wiped.

Artificial intelligence has 74% hiring growth in the past four years. Other roles such as data scientist and robotics engineer are growing quickly. In case you're looking for a job to emerge
But nice that they break out their results by country/region, so you can focus on the places that matter

Turning a sketch or photo of an object into a fully realized 3D model so that it can be duplicated using a 3D printer, played in a video game, or brought to life in a movie through visual effects, requires the skills of a digital modeler working from a stack of images.

Scientists at ETH Zurich have discovered a new method for turning nearly any object into a data storage unit. Now you just need a DNA sequencer to go with your 3-D printer

Hey, don't complain!
Now, spy films won't have to use boring (and unexcitingly copyable) data sticks as their macguffins -- we'll be back to the days when "the microfilm is hidden as a dot on a vase!"
Much more fun!

Apple has still to release certain higher-storage and graphics options, but on pre-order day, the maximum specification 2019 Mac Pro you can buy costs $52,748. Without the screen, or the separate stands for that display. But you can get cash back if you buy with Apple Card. Because I know many of you were waiting to order (I'm sure it's totally worth it though.)
OK, maybe just @chris-maunder.
$400 wheels, $1K if you want the monitor stand (and $5-6K for that). Uffda, as they say.

That doesn't count the as yet un-priced 8tb hard drive option. I think we can safely categorize this hardware as "costs too f*ckin much".
28 cores, 1.5TB of RAM, and 8TB of hard drives, with two monitors = ~$65k - for a computer that will be obsolete before it's three months old.
Thanks, but I'll be more than satisfied with my 6-core, 32gb, 3TB PC that runs Linux...

"Pro" is, at least, the right name for something so overpriced.

I recently hit some multi-minute delays on my workstation. After investigating I found that the problem was due to a lock being held for five minutes, and during that time the lock-holder was mostly just spinning in a nine-instruction loop. Because I enjoy a nice detective story every now and again
I know some of you will be truly shocked to read about poor design in Windows. I apologize in advance for any pearl-clutching, shortness of breath, or spilled coffee.

The words "in", "setting", and "rot" keep spinning around in my brain, as if they're trying to line up and tell me something.

A computer chip processes and stores information using two different devices. If engineers could combine these devices into one or put them next to each other, then there would be more space on a chip, making it faster and more powerful. They also got chocolate in their peanut butter

Based on the realisation that anyone who says that transistors process information doesn't have a bloody clue what he's talking about, I'm giving this one a miss.

The recent firing of a Google employee demonstrates how you relinquish your privacy—and private data, including personal photos—when you put work accounts on your personal device. Mi teléfono, su teléfono

That almost certainly would be illegal in the UK. In fact I believe we even have privacy for personal emails sent through work systems. Any country that makes it legal for your work to wipe your personal phone unless you have given explicit informed consent has seriously flawed laws.
