When ad blocking is a cat-and-mouse game, make the mouse slower. Why play fair, when you own the arena?

Microsoft has quietly reduced the amount of Microsoft Rewards points users can earn, enraging users who have used the points to offset some of Microsoft’s more expensive services, like Game Pass. Using Microsoft products is its own reward
Apologies if anyone hurt themselves over that one

I use Microsoft rewards and once in a long while will receive an Amazon Gift Card, which I then use for purchases. It's Microsoft's program, and like frequent traveler programs, is wholly owned by the program owner, so expect changes.

Amazon's AI-powered image generator promises substantial support for businesses in advertising, e-commerce, and media and entertainment by facilitating the creation of high-volume, cost-effective, studio-quality images. Where's content?
I wanted to send this one over to the forum for discussion (it won't be in the mailing tomorrow). I just felt it was time for a rousing game of "Find the article content" on this page full of advertisements.

Despite difficult economic conditions, software development and quality assurance skills remain a priority for businesses, according to a new study. That code isn't going to write itself (if you don't count the CoPilots etc.)

I read this article, and now all of my intelligence has been sucked out of my brain. The first comment has this spot on. And the word "redundancies" is something that should just go away.
Skills gap? I don't think so.

Artificial intelligence programs still struggle with basic problem-solving skills that people excel at, new research claims. The AI, or the researchers?
I suppose that was a softball one

That would make the book title (one of my textbooks) "Artificial Intelligence vs. Natural Stupidity" pretty appropriate.

A team of researchers was able to make ChatGPT reveal some of the bits of data it has been trained on by using a simple prompt: asking the chatbot to repeat random words forever. The power of poems?

Windows users are reporting that Hewlett Packard's HP Smart application is appearing on their systems, despite them not having any of the company's hardware attached. That HP printer must be around. Have you looked everywhere?
Just checked, and sure enough I had it on my machine as well. Odd. Thanks, Microsoft.

If there's an HP printer anywhere on the network Windows will install it.

Nothing HP in this house. I think it just got mistakenly added to an update.
(I suppose at some point I may have connected to the same WiFi network as some HP device, but that would have been the closest I got.)

There were lots of announcements this week of cool new features, AI enhancements, performance improvements, and much more. That was a lot to digest, so I thought I’d bring attention to some of my favorites. Not mine, his. But you get the idea?

Primary constructors is one of the new exciting features for C# 12.
However, there have been concerns from developers about whether to use them. Secondary constructors still considered acceptable
