Will they rename their product to Microsoft 365-ish, Microsoft Almost-365 or Microsoft 364?

Meanwhile, Azure DevOps is "degraded" across the board[^].
Seems like something is rotten in the state of Redmond today.

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?

The Windows Package Manager (WinGet) has reached version 1.4 and with it adds a slew of tasty new features. At last! Now I can do something with those files

CNET's AI-written articles aren't just riddled with errors. They also appear to be substantially plagiarized. It copied off other AI's homework?
Isn't that by-design? I thought all it did was lift stuff from elsewhere and put some filler verbiage in it? (like the art ones that grab bits and bobs from other art)

So they are saying that a pattern matching algorithm matched a pattern too well? Who'd a thunk?

Blockchain was the fastest-growing in-demand IT skill in 2022, while JavaScript was the most commonly verified tech skill, a DevSkiller survey finds. *by people trying to skew this survey
JavaScript? Sure, but "Demand for blockchain programming skills increased by 552% in 2022"? Only if that demand was "1" in 2021.

Platform engineers provide an integrated product most often referred to as an “Internal Developer Platform” covering the operational necessities of the entire lifecycle of an application. "We shape our buildings, thereafter they shape us"
"Before platform teams can start building their product, they need to define a clear mission statement to guide the process. This mission statement should fit the overall goals of the organization and proactively define the role of the platform team within the organization. It should also inspire your engineers." <-- Anyone see my eyes? They just rolled away.
"Improve developer experience by building internal developer platforms to reduce cognitive load, developer toil, and repetitive manual work." <-- ... ... and you needed a new name?

The public perceives OpenAI's ChatGPT as revolutionary, but the same techniques are being used and the same kind of work is going on at many research labs, says the deep learning pioneer. Can't make good whine with those sour grapes

I suppose more than one in those other research labs have hit the desk with their head a time or two since ChatGPT went live.

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?

Recent Windows 11 Insider builds include support for ReFS, the Resilient File System So the existing file system isn't resilient?
|
|
|
|
|
Unless you're running huge databases or virtual machines on Windows 11, ReFS means nothing. For general workloads ReFS is simply not a good file system.
|

Ah,that explains why it’s only on the server copies now. Thank you!

I am not a ReFS user, so I am not protesting or arguing against you.
I am just curious: Which properties of ReFS make you state that "ReFS is simply not a good file system" (for general workloads)?

Did users change their Wi-Fi password, or did they see the nature of IoT privacy? Maybe 1/2 their customers don't really want smart appliances?
I would have put that at about 90%, but I guess I'm just an old Luddite.

WTE would I need to start my dishwasher running or set my fridge's temperature from my smartphone? I have to physically fill and empty the dishwasher, and the fridge's temperature setting hasn't been changed since we bought it a few years ago.
Ditto for almost any other home appliance I can think of. IoT is an solution looking for a problem.

If you were a Luddite you wouldn't have a refrigerator in the first place. Good old Ice Box for you, or a smokehouse and salted meats.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

OpenAI's chat software ChatGPT, if let loose on the world, would score between a B and a B- on Wharton business school's Operations Management exam, and would approach or exceed the score needed to pass the US Medical Licensing Exam (USMLE). Let's see how it does without internet access

'struth - I know I'd definitely have troubles doing this without internet access

Well ... In the northernmost parts of Norway, in some villages the nearest birth clinic is 400 km (250 miles) away ... except when it closes for the summer; then you may have to travel close to 1000 km if you want to deliver under medically controlled conditions. Usually, the delivery can be planned a few days in advance, and you can also do some economic planning to cover the hotel expenses for maybe a week ...
For events that comes without planning, the local doctor may not have the full expertise to handle it. (S)he can, however, over the internet contact experts at the central hospital, using a webcam (of higher quality than the one in your portable!) to let the expert view wounds, rashes, unknown pills or chemicals, patient behavior and reactions etc., and discuss the best treatment. If I were living in such a place, I would be very happy if my local doctor consulted experts over internet if I have a medical condition that falls outside his field of expertise.
Certainly, this is quite different from surfing Wikipedia to find a possible answer. But it is using internet for obtaining information that the doctor needs for the best treatment.
(Actually, it started up before internet was established in Norway: They used a 2B (128 kbps) ISDN channel, and the doctor's office had a laserdisk player with thousands of very high quality medical pictures that the expert could refer to, e.g. for comparing the patient's rashes to. The first trial project ran from about 1985 onwards. Laserdisks never had any success in Norway/Europe (in USA, it had a moderate success for a few years), and when internet fiber became available everywhere, the player was replaced with a video camera.)
