Research has revealed a correlation between being particularly proficient in tool use and having good syntactic ability. And I thought it was just people having to be creative with language when they hit their thumb with the hammer

A number of new Tesla Model 3s and Model Ys have been delivered in the last few days with missing USB ports, often without any warning before the owners get their new cars home and notice that the car’s phone charger isn’t working. This way you don't have to worry you're holding the cable the wrong way

Microsoft is pushing another bug-fix update for Windows 11 out to its Beta and Release Preview Insider channels today, and like all the Windows 11 bug-fix updates released so far, the list of resolved issues is more than long enough to vindicate anyone who decided to stay on Windows 10 for a few more months. And all is right in the world again

I am still itching to realize an old project idea:
Around here, radio controlled clocks pick up DCF77 signals, broadcast from Frankfurt am Main at 77,5 kHz. We are so far away, signals so weak that it really doesn't take that much to drown them out.
High quality sound cards are capable of handling a sample rate of 192 kHz. That is enough to generate a 77,5 kHz sine wave. Pick the right stereo amp, and at least it claims to handle a frequency range to 100 kHz or even more. The DCF77 signal format is slightly more complex than morse dih and dahs, but not much.
Assume that I make a small program on my PC to generate an output on my sound card which is a 77,5 kHz signal formatted similar to the DCF77 time signal, but maybe off by an hour or two. I feed the signal into my stereo amp, and hook up an antenna wire to the speaker output. The wire could be stretched out in my attic; wood walls wouldn't dampen the signals that much.
I'd be curious to see if I could confuse the radio clocks of people in my neighborhood. I don't know how common such clocks are around here, but you can buy them in lots of different stores.
I believe that is is this simple, given a good sound card and a modern amp: All it takes is to write a small program to generate a properly formatted 77.5 kHz DCF signal. That shouldn't be too hard.

If your computer's clock is way off, and you try to sync it with an internet time service, Windows just refuses to synchronize. You have to add the /force switch on the command line (well, Windows 7, don't know for different versions).
So, such an obvious hacking as shown in the example would not be accepted. But with the microseconds wankers at the stock exchange, a small hack may be devastating.
C'mon, just do it!
Oh sanctissimi Wilhelmus, Theodorus, et Fredericus!

Visual Studio’s shift to 64-bit means your builds in Visual Studio 2022 will run in a 64-bit MSBuild. This will not cause any problems for most people. However, if your build includes a task that is 32-bit only and does not correctly mark itself as a 32-bit task, your build may fail. Mo' bits, mo' problems
