This feature allows Microsoft to slowly roll out new features without releasing entirely new builds. Their features have been out of control until now.

I suppose they test is as they did until now... Rolling it out to the users without asking for permission and letting them to beta test the "improvements"

It's really remarkable how long they've been going on adding "new features" that, for the most part, have been completely worthless to 99% of windows users, but which break functionality that 99% of windows users found useful.
My migration to linux has begun. I don't mind being given "New, Great Features!" that I don't need, but the fact that every New, Great Feature breaks ten "older, but more efficient and less distracting features" has gone too far beyond the pale.

One of the newest papers from Google parent company Alphabet’s DeepMind (“Efficient Video Generation on Complex Datasets”) details recent advances in the budding field of AI clip generation. You mean those videos on YouTube aren't faked already?

When we use browsers to make medical appointments, share tax returns with accountants, or access corporate intranets, we usually trust that the pages we access will remain private. I guess those browsers not supporting extensions are having the last laugh

So the Slurp and SpyOnYou extensions should not be used?

Do "10x" engineers even exist? What are they? And what makes them? I make up for 10x developers by being a 0.1x developer
OK, 0.01x most of the time.

This rather left me wondering what the hell "10X" means. As far as I can tell it comes from one of those awful "Life and How to Live It" books postulating the amazingly deep and innovative theory that people who work ten times harder than normal people get more done.
As far as this article goes, 10X seems to have been simplified (if such a thing is even possible) to mean "really good", in which case, why not just use the phrase "really good" rather than misappropriating some silly proto-buzzword?

86% of developers said they currently work remotely in some capacity, according to a DigitalOcean report. "I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude."

I took my last job on the condition that I could work from home one or two days a week (out of four, because it was a horrible commute).
Eventually, new team members came in a didn't like me working from home so much, they found one day to be the maximum, but rather have zero.
They also weren't into flexible work hours (well, flexible if you wanted to start early, but not late).
In the end it got me fired, which I didn't mind at all (in fact, I pushed to get me out asap  )
If you can't work from home at all the team probably isn't that great (for example: bad communicators, bad coders, lack of trust, rigid attitudes...).
No team should see negative effects if one or more team members work from home from time to time.
And for the person working from home it can be the most productive day of the week!

New tech sometimes confuses employees, and businesses aren't considering their experiences. You mean like that telephone machine?
"A vast majority (73 per cent) is still clinging on to dated tech, like email". Oh, sunshine...

"The latest buzzword tech" = "What you really, really need, no matter how much retraining and F**kups are involved".
Facts can't be ignored.

Except from secret closed door meetings at a well known technology company discussing some businesses refusal to unquestionably adopt new technology ...
This is why all customers need to be coerced to the cloud where they have little to no control over what they are required to use/accept. With the old model of ownership clients are able to opt out of future updates to our software. We at [redacted] have tried a number of solutions to coerce customers over to whatever new products we are promoting at the time but outdated concepts of ownership and choice have made this impossible so we are now moving customers to the cloud where they will have no choice about adoption. Yes the customer can always opt to stop using our services but unlike before they will have no older version to fall back on since the move to the cloud means the customer has no on premise option. In the old days if they did not want to upgrade from Windows 7 to 10 they could opt to keep running Windows 7 as long as the apps the use would keep working. The advent of the cloud and the services it has spawned like [redacted] are enabling us and our fellow cloud based brethren to remove customer choice while still making money. The cloud is truly a corporations greatest asset.
While the cloud allows us to control our customers software choices the unsecured IOT (Internet of things) will allow us unfettered access to every household on the planet and so our next biog goal is how best to coerce customers to accept unsecured IOT devices. Any ideas ......
End Excerpt
And some people wonder why there are those of us in the real world who don't embrace new technology without question or opt for the wait and see approach.
