I updated lastnight, and had a one off change of my pdf reader from foxit to edge when I opened a pdf. It stayed fixed after I changed it back, and nothing else was changed.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging 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 most annoying change is Search Bing is now permanent in the context menu in Edge when you highlight text.

A standard-sized disc can store around 360 terabytes of data, with an estimated lifespan of up to 13.8 billion years even at temperatures of 190°C. I call shenanigans! I don't think they tested it that long.

Hi dear raddevus,
Our company specializes in storing around 360 terabytes of data for about 13.8 billion years.
Please let me know when and where I can call you so we can discuss this promising business opportunity!
Also please give us your bank number so we can pillage it so hard your offspring will feel it for the next 13.8 billion years 
Best,
Sander

That'll be doubled every two years

What? Really? They couldn't round up? I mean is 14 billion really that big of a reach?
Does 13.8 somehow add more credibility than 14?
I guess those last 200 million years just get you every time.

Does this mean Microsoft will be able to bring back unlimited One Drive storage?

Forgot to mention that while disks can last that long the disk readers will only be available till Y3K !!!

Imagine the YxK bugs you'd have to fix when booting up that old VM in 13.8 billion years!

I would make a backup every 100 million years anyway. Just to be sure.

Today we’re announcing a new experiment: releasing the VC++ toolset as a NuGet package that can be added to any C++ project or solution targeting desktop. Installing this NuGet package lays down a new copy of the VC++ compiler, header files, and libraries. Mmmm. Tasty dog food.

Vulkan (previously known as GLNext) is an open-source, cross-platform low-overhead API that promises huge performance gains in 3D applications by giving developers low-level control of graphics and CPU hardware. ...and now you have 15 standards

Looks like a lot's happening in the 3D gaming world. Not many game devs on CP though.

Vulkan supports all Windows versions, while DirectX 12 only runs on Windows 10. Because of this I think we will see several AAA games running on Vulkan this year. Game developers want to reach as large a target audience as possible.

I'm sure the pr0n industry will welcome this news. As well as a certain demographic wanting certain "improvements"...
Decrease the belief in God, and you increase the numbers of those who wish to play at being God by being “society’s supervisors,” who deny the existence of divine standards, but are very serious about imposing their own standards on society.-Neal A. Maxwell
You must accept 1 of 2 basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe or we are not alone. Either way, the implications are staggering!-Wernher von Braun
