Admins of Windows 10 and Windows 11 will be able to soon block some USB drives but allow others to connect to systems. Giving the finger to the thumb (drives)

I have already suffered that in times of Windows XP... what's the news on this?

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I think that they've made it more fine-grained. Some USBs can be allowed to work, the rest get blocked.

mmmm.... although that could actually be cool, I wonder how reliable it will really be.
Sometimes a wrong feeling of security is more dangerous than no security at all, since the users won't pay attention anymore.

You, like many other developers, may work in very large codebases that contain hundreds or thousands of projects in a single Visual Studio solution. At least we all know who's winning the Nobel Peace Prize this year
And a Congressional Medal of Honor, Legion of Honour, OBE, and a few others.

Democracy in ancient Athens looked quite different from democracies today. HahahhHAHAHhahahahHHAAHAhahaha
Or something like that.

Quote: But selection should be random—ideally, with all volunteers having an equal chance of being chosen.
Sadly I didn't read anything about filtering the selection for high IQ and EQ. Oh wait, then it wouldn't be a representation of the general population.

Yes, quite.
I can just see AI-weighted votes. Right-thinkers score higher of course.
By the way, the citizens' assemblies here in the UK are just a scam for giving false legitimacy for what the government intended to do all along. (And didn't we used to call these "soviets", when the Russians arranged them?). They were announced with some fanfare and I thought that they sounded interesting. Next thing I knew, they were apparently up and running, with no public oversight that I am aware of, magically confirming government policy.
It strikes me that whoever is on these soviets... errr I mean citizens' assemblies, are selected to represent the views and mindset that the government wants.
There is nothing about AI meddling in democracy that makes it any less likely to be just as biased.

All Athenian adult citizens had the vote.
- Women weren't citizens
- Helots (slaves) weren't citizens
In fact only a small fraction of adults actually had the vote. Some democracy...

Forget outer joins, AI is now a random algorithm.

Google exposed the private data of 52 million users in 2018 and got sued. Sticking it to the man. $2.15 at a time.
This might take a while.

I can't even buy a gallon of gas for $2.15.

They should make Pichai deliver each payment in person, with cash.
(Or they could use the new random AI!)

MIT researchers have used AI to predict which technologies are rapidly improving — and which ones are overhyped. 'Quantum bacon'? 'No-code IDE'? 'More advertisements'?
OK, one of those is pretty likely.
And I have no idea just what "Dynamic information exchange and support systems integrating multiple channels" is meant to be - beyond a word salad. Combining email, Slack, and Teams?

Artificial Intelligence instructions for deprecating Kent Sharky:
Step 1: Non-negative matrix factorization[^] implemented as a dimensionality reduction[^] (for reducing a news article down to a single sentence summary)
Step 2: K-means clustering[^] (For rewording the article summary... to potentially avoid copyrighted violations)
Step 3: PQR[^] (for deciding whether or not the reduced news statement can actually be proven to be false)
On second thought... the real Kent Sharky is cheaper.
Edit: fixed PQR link

Kent,
For what it's worth I come to codeproject.com explicitly to read your witty comments on some of the latest news. I am not sure that an AI can duplicate that (yet!). Between you and me... you should probably work on the PQR[^]. ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)
Best Wishes,

Ooh, add ORDER BY to SELECT and RAND() to the list of what is AI.

Wish you could focus on writing good code, rather than trudging through mud code all day long? Just as long as you remember the safe word

Microsoft has suspended free trials of their newly launched Windows 365 Cloud PC service after running out of available servers. They should move that to the cloud for more scalability!

The update is mostly visual and adds a new header, simplified toolbar, and rounded corners As requested by basically no one
Apologies if you're in that very select group. I'm fine with Paint.net personally

Everything is *constantly* being simplified and "streamlined." How simple can something get, after all?
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

I second that Paint.net recommendation, been using it for years and it covers everything I need.
