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?

Over the course of 2022, we are planning to make Windows Terminal the default experience on Windows 11 devices. The condition is terminal
That's a big shrug from me. I'm not a big "themer", so all it really means is multiple tabs. Wooo.

Loving it! Now on Windows Terminal (by default, finally)!

Unless windows terminal is just command.exe with both the obligatory new icon and a new name that'll be one more entry to the list of crap I need to un- on new installs. I don't do a lot of CLI stuff, which is why it continuing to work the same way as the one I learned 30 years ago is so vital.

Compared to Apple and Facebook, Google has been very quiet about its plans for augmented reality glasses. I guess they're getting ready for their meeting

Apparently the patch for the first vulnerability was "incomplete." Not a dupe (on my part at least)

Bill Gates thinks you’ll eventually take a lot of your business meetings in virtual reality (VR). Companies won't splurge for a decent conference phone in the meeting room, but they'll buy VR headsets for everyone?

No, but they'll expect you to use your personal VR headset just like they expect you to use your personal phone.

As some of you may be aware, Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 changed some floating-point to integer conversions for Intel Architecture (IA). They're decided to just convert all FP to their nearest integers?
