Along with AI skills, skills in IT ops and cloud development are severely lacking, IDC reports. Every two years 90% of organizations suffer a critical tech skills shortage

AI skills? I thought the whole purpose of AI was that it provides the skills.

Two years? I'll still be looking to work then. That's good.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

Developers who manage resources in Visual Studio will be delighted to learn that we have finally updated our out-of-the-box resource management experience to better accommodate the needs of the modern .NET developer. So you can finally find all your wool, grain, lumber, brick, and ore

a.k.a. we do not know / do not care what the needs of real developers are, but our marketing deparment thinks that using "modern" developers is a good strategy to sell things that noone (or really very few people) asked for.

A security researcher is concerned about Windows 11’s new Recall feature after testing it. You had me at "Windows", "AI", and "security disaster"
I honestly don't remember people complaining this much about Apple's Time Machine (which was more than just screenshots). I wonder why that is?
OK, I don't really wonder; I'm pretty sure I know why.
edit: I originally forgot the blurb

Option 1: Fanboys that do not care?
Option 2: Less people cheking?
Option 3: Maybe better done?

Their whole schpiel is selling easy to people who don't know better.
Of course the vast majority of their userbase doesn't know better.

Microsoft is now rolling out two full-screen pop-up banners that remind everyone, including those with supported and unsupported PCs, to upgrade to Windows 11. Just in case you were unaware of Windows 11

I genuinely wonder if Microsoft is aware of how many computers can't run Windows 11 by their own own design. (They clearly don't care, but are internal analysts lying to management.)

Or they do know and bet for people to buy new pcs, what will be the solution of many people that either do not know how to, do not know anyone that know how to or are too lazy to start install / learning / getting used to other OS

I think the security people overrode the marketing monkeys. The processor requirement is designed to eliminate a now-proven attack on TPM and, thus BitLocker. Prior to the Intel Gen 8 (and AMD equivalents) processors, the TPM was a separate chip. It turns out that the SPI bus between the TPM module and the processor can be read with standard and cheap electronic probes. The 8th Gen chips put the TPM module on the same silicon die as the CPU so the SPI bus is entirely embedded and concealed in the chip packaging.
This unfortunately put Microsoft in the unenviable position of either looking like an overbearing corporation by demanding the newer processors or revealing a vulnerability in all TPM based BitLocker systems. (You can use BitLocker without a TPM.)

Edit: Gen 8 chips aren't a requirement. Having a TPM module is. If a separate TPM module was available for my motherboard, I could buy one and install Windows 11.
I don't use Bitlocker. Nobody I know does, including those running Windows 11. Instead of saying "Bitlocker is available only on computers with this feature", Microsoft chose to deny those customers. (Some, like me, would have upgraded early and now look at the Windows 11 train wreck and are thankful they couldn't.)

Kaspersky has released a new virus removal tool named KVRT for the Linux platform, allowing users to scan their systems and remove malware and other known threats for free. But I thought Linux didn't get viruses?

It will have one virus after installing Kaspersky.

Raspberry Pi clocks have been around for a while but the maker community sure seems to have a way of making them increasingly more complex. Smells like lunch time
