You mean the same people that can't fill orders for machines because of the microchip shortage?

"Microsoft program manager Aria Carley said “We know it sucks that some aren’t going to be eligible for Windows 11, but the great thing to remember is the reason we’re doing that is to keep to devices more productive, have a better experience and, most importantly, have better security than ever before.”
Dear Aria - you can shove the marketing BS up where the sun don't shine. Security and Microsoft are an oxymoron. Exlusive OR. You are requiring this when we just found out an unprivileged user can edit the registry and gain admin rights? You people are so elephantine clueless as to be stunning in your ignorance. Your group thought the idea of rebooting development machines arbitrarily was for security?
God, where does Microsoft get these idiots?

Remember when Windows 10 came out, and life was supposed to be most excellent?
- feature: updates will now include device drivers we supply not the oems. Weeks of blue screens
before I figured out what happened to my previously stable laptop;
- feature: hey, we'll auto reboot your machine for updates; there goes my week long debug session;
This issue came up in some sort of MVP meeting. The MS manager chuckled and agreed MS should not
be doing this. Oops;
- feature: we're going to save the planet by turning off power to your USB devices. Oops, there
goes your debug sessions again.
The list goes on. What I find appalling is the way MS *hides* these changes. The lack of thought stuns me.
Just sayin

My hope is I to outsmart it enough that I can avoid "updating" completely. I have not seen a single thing that makes want to get W11 and several that make want to avoid it entirely.

Cassie the robot, invented at Oregon State University and produced by OSU spinout company Agility Robotics, has made history by traversing 5 kilometers, completing the route in just over 53 minutes. Good to know the robot apocalypse can already outrun me

Quote: In a massive leap forward for autonomous robots, Cassie the running robot has completed an entire 5-kilometer (3.1-mile) run in 53 minutes,
Does this pace (5.6kph/3.5mph) really count as a run, not a walk?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

At a time of widespread digital insecurity it turns out that the oldest and simplest computer fix there is — turning a device off then back on again — can thwart hackers from stealing information from smartphones. When in doubt: reboot. It's not just for Windows anymore

only for that?
They are outdated in every single aspect that has to do with software and / or developers.

I’ve tested it through the past week and wanted to test it to see how powerful it is, so I went through 3 coding questions on the web that are a set of prepared interview coding questions with it to see how it would perform. I wonder if we can hook it up to Q&A
