Everything has its downside...
A co-worker of mine has been long in remote due to health condition and he said something like:
"At least before, when I already had an appointment the next one was at least 15, mostly 30 minutes after the end of the previous one, because the people didn't know if you had to walk from one point to another. Since I am in Home Office the suckers now set the online meetings with one minute break or two if I am lucky... I can't even go pee in that time."

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?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

.NET MAUI, which evolves Xamarin.Forms by adding desktop app support, has arrived in .NET 6 and Visual Studio 2022, but what's coming up? Maybe head over to Kauai next?
I hear it's where the Hawaiians go to avoid the tourists.

Attackers guessed the password of a dormant account and were able to apply their own MFA to it - providing access to the victim's network. Because multi-factor will save us from the hackers...
Yet another reminder to nuke those dormant accounts
Apologies for picking this story about it; that headline is horrid. I felt like it was lifted from BuzzFeed or something.

The "sneaky exploit" is to know the username and password?

The Irish Council of Civil Liberties’ senior fellow, Johnny Ryan, has launched a US class action lawsuit against Oracle over claims that the tech giant is unduly tracking and monitoring people. The other three billion are feeling a little left out
"Oracle’s dossiers about people include names, home addresses, emails, purchases online and in the real world, physical movements in the real world, income, interests and political views, and a detailed account of online activity."

They're not called Oracle for nothing...

NASA has released two more images made from data collected by the James Webb Space Telescope, and they reveal incredible detail about the largest planet in the Solar System. "Keep your eye on Jupiter, such beauty in the sky"

Oh No! It's the evil anti-Matter Jupiter!

I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

Microsoft's AI code-suggestion tool GitHub Copilot is showing itself to be so capable that educators may have to rethink how they teach computer science. Now, explain the code for your grade
|

I hope so, because it would reduce the number of "Do my assignment for me" posts in Quick Answers.
EDIT: I'm so naive. They'd only be replaced by "Explain this code for me" posts.

I've noticed some tricky scenario where everyone is right, yet people still argue. Because someone is wrong on the internet!

James Brown loves building weird displays. Like animatronic skulls, or mechanical bit-flipping cellular automatons. Or, in this case, an entire computer inside a mock Lego brick. You really don't want to step on these in the dark

The cuts affect about 60 employees of Accenture, a firm that oversees teams of Facebook moderators and other contractors. The algorithm is known as "One-potato, two-potato..."
Or maybe the highly advanced, "Eeeny, meeny, miny, moe"?

Researchers develop method that could transform your Wi-Fi connection Does involve those X-Ray glasses?
"First, you simply have to send certain waves through the medium and measure exactly in which way these waves are reflected by the material” <-- Oh, it's 'simple', I guess we can just do that everywhere.

these researchers just re searching pesky things.....while they should have been searching how it can directly reach our brains

From the internet to virtualization to cloud computing, there has always been a tech game-changer in play in recent decades. But not so today. "Everything that can be invented has been invented"
That quote never fails to make me giggle, along with "This is the end of history"
