For all the praise that Windows 11 has gotten so far, there's a lot the operating system is still missing. No icons are missing from this discussion

Gotta do the important stuff first.
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?

A survey of 3,500 workers in the US found that some employees would sacrifice up to 50% of their salary, alongside other benefits like paid holidays, in return for continued WFH options. Been here; done that
Well, not holidays. I kept those.

Well with the prices of some places, sacrificing 50% of the pay but not having to live there... it might still be a profitable move.

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?

A ridiculous premise. How many is _some_? It could've been one of the respondents, which is ridiculous.
It seems someone is attempting to set a point firmly in mind that they are driving towards: "Employees are happy to surrender pay & holidays for WFH."

Some people overuse, misuse, and abuse the term "hero".
Whatever it means, it does not mean a clever DIY builder.

Learn Python. That's the biggest takeaway we can give you from its continued dominance of IEEE Spectrum's annual interactive rankings of the top programming languages. Your mileage will vary

I can't think of a single large software company that doesn't regularly draw internet comments of the form “What do all the employees do? I could build their product myself.” This blurb took me less than a weekend to write
May or may not be "new", but it was new to me, and points are made

Analysts reviewed 13 million security incidents and found that end-of-life versions of Linux distributions were at the biggest risk. Hacking: it's not (just) for Windows

Who'd have thought that having hundreds of different distributions of an OS would cause a problem?

It’s unclear if CEO still thinks company can achieve Level 5 by year’s end. He's just noticing that now?

When Elon "I will overhype anything that might make me money" Musk is skeptical, that's saying something. (Though avoiding getting sued into oblivion is one incentive.)

I suppose that’s better than crashing into them while they’re getting someone, but how is it making that kind of a mistake?

They do need to disable that. It’s not something that can be solved on the shared roads, IMO. Especially not by him (or a team he has sway on)

More than half of users polled will actually update to Windows 11 right away, despite the wave of denial online. "Thank you, sir! May I have another?"

I think I will wait to SP 1 or 2 as always...

So here come the marketing surveys. This stuff is not for us developers, it's for the masses of uninformed people.
Just for giggles I went out to Microsoft to locate the utility to tell me if my laptop will run Windows 11.
"Coming soon"
The fact that Windows 11 requires UEFI and TPM gives me a sick feeling.

Prior to UEFI, I could easily image a drive using a disk duplicator. No longer. Worse, no one has a single repository of how to make it work with backups. I went through 4 backup companies before just giving up and re-installing Windows. The support was worse than Microsoft's and Microsoft's universally SUCKS.
