Many “emergency” situations in our modern world would’ve been easy to fix had they been foreseen in advance. If only we’d known what was going to happen, the badness could’ve easily been prevented. You just have to get your computer to 88 mph
Wisdom:
"One of the most common predictable emergencies is when a scenario begins to fail because a software’s version number gets “too high.”
This happened so commonly in Windows client software that Microsoft changed the GetVersionEx function to start lying to applications unless they declare (via manifest) that they can handle the truth."

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?

This wasn't a DNS issue itself, but failing DNS was the first symptom we'd seen of a larger Facebook outage. Apparently, it's not always DNS

There are three known issues listed today, two of which are blocking bugs, meaning that the firm will be putting in place compatibility holds to safeguard users from running into the issue were they to install the OS. And I'm sure that's all there will ever be

No problem, we will ship it anyways, they can't do anything against us. Screw those suckers our beta testers our users base.

This new operating system empowers you to deliver new and innovative apps, grow your business how you choose, and makes developing on Windows easier by allowing you to use the tools and frameworks you already use and know. It's just like coding for Windows 10, but you round corners instead of cut them

For all the 12 people who can install it
Also it comes with new shiny spyware, even more deeply embedded in your system. Don't ever wonder if Microsoft is sifting through all your data and activities: now you can be certain of it!

I ran the Health Check check app and as expected, the laptop with the i7 processor passes, the one with the i5 processor didn't.
None-the-less, I have no intention of installing W 11.

The health check only applicable to windows update. By using the Windows ISO manual installation method, it will by-pass the health check.

Humor is a subtle and inherently human quality; thus, reproducing it in machines is far from an easy task. "Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me."

So I can cry and laugh at the same time?

Without any snark, I thought the article was about humor.
Quote: they found that human evaluators sourced online considered the headlines produced by their system funny 36% of the time Were they polling late-night talk show viewers?

Now THERE is a song I've not heard in a long while!
"the debugger doesn't tell me anything because this code compiles just fine" - random QA comment
"Facebook is where you tell lies to your friends. Twitter is where you tell the truth to strangers." - chriselst
"I don't drink any more... then again, I don't drink any less." - Mike Mullikins uncle

Hmm,
"Automated news generation has become a major interest for news agencies,"
So they are not interested in reporting news?

Given that Windows 10 was already pretty polished when it launched, and only got better over time, why the need for a whole new version? "This one goes to 11"
And I'm going to keep using that until Win12 darkens my door

But even then... they tried really hard to go backwards from time to time.

Google Search is no longer officially supporting Internet Explorer 11, marking the beginning of the end for Microsoft’s now-ancient browser. Forcing people to use Bing? That's just cruel.
Actually, it looks like you just get the "old" Google results page - the ones without all the ads and sturm und drang. I may have to change my User Agent.

We're kicking off a short new series that shows some of the smaller, but cool, things we can do in .NET 6 with some new framework features. Because sometimes you just don't have the time to deal with a date (or vice versa)

Low-code application development isn't just for simple applications anymore. It is now the basis of larger enterprise apps and tools for digital transformation. Management is high and morale is low?
I know, I know. Low-code "gets that job done". Except when it doesn't, so you end up writing logarithmically more code to get it to work. At least that's what happened with the Access Point of Sale app I worked on.
