Can you set your own browser in the WSL? Just thinking outside the box, for any disgruntled 11 user....

We are soooooo screwed.
I suspect that there are some really smart people who work in shadowy places that already exploit this.

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?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

That's a great quote. You are well-placed in this snippet-writing career.
I can only hope you are also getting Mega-Rich from writing these witty remarks.
Hopefully they are paying you in crypto so your riches can be realized.

Many authors have already migrated their VS 2022 extensions, but not all published ones are available on the VS Marketplace, and some Marketplace extensions have new names. Because it's so light-weight, we need to install more into it!

What extensions do people use? I've never installed an extension, ever, since I've been using Visual Studio.

I use the GitHub and Markdown Editor extensions.

Yes, they sound to be more usable tools than others...

Resharper and the Productivity Power Tools - an MS maintained set of tweaks and additions that haven't made the base version of VS yet (although one or two seem to be absorbed every major release).
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 seven astronauts and cosmonauts onboard the International Space Station sheltered inside their respective spacecraft, a Crew Dragon and Soyuz, on Monday morning as the orbiting laboratory passed through an unexpected debris field. "Boom, boom, boom, boom. I'm gonna shoot you right down"
Great job. For an encore, how about driving a nail into concrete with your foreheads?

We're making F# more normal as a language, says its creator They're adding line numbers and semi-colons?

I think honey would like it if they supported curly braces instead of whitespace indentation like Python does.

They're probably adding icons and round corners to it.

When Windows 10 hits its end-of-support date in 2025, hundreds of millions of PC owners will have four options, none of them good. Woe unto them that don't buy a new computer before 2025!
That's in the book, somewhere. Probably in one of the letters from Paul.

This is a complete nonsense article, but the author missed the point of Windows 11. It has nothing to do with making the OS more secure. The truth is out there now - it's all about DRM. Clowns and outright liars.
Besides, you *really* think Windows 11 is going to be secure? These are the same clowns that gave us Windows 10 (which has been so so okay) and said the same nonsense about Windows 7. I never had the driver issues on Windows 7 that I do with Windows 10.
The security problem is Microsoft's own doing. Physician, heal thyself.

Intel is celebrating 50 years since the launch of the Intel 4004, the world’s first commercially available microprocessor that would be the basis for future chips that are used in computers and phones today as well as more cutting edge technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Which coincidentally is the length of the waitlist for the new graphics cards

IBM claims it’s the first such processor that can’t be simulated by a classical supercomputer. No need to check our math(s) - it's impossible. Really.

The CallerArgumentExpression has been discussed for years, it was supposed to a part of C# 8.0 but got delayed. Finally this month it is delivered along with C# 10 and .NET 6. And here I thought CallerArgumentExpression was talk radio
