Microsoft has added a new feature to the Feedback Hub that allows Windows Insiders to assign a severity level to a bug report so that severe problems are not missed by Microsoft. You can rate it from one to 15 exclamation marks!!!

I think you meant "one to 15 exclamation marks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
|

|
|
|
I have failed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As have I. I should have said, "Just like the scale Kent uses to show sarcasm in his posts!"
|
|

|
|
Nah, 'sgood. I just thought you were reminding me that I should have used 15 in the blurb.

Was never bad, except for my poor attempt at pushing humor to new highs (or lows, from a certain perspective)!

The higher the severity, the faster it will be ignored?

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?

Artificially intelligent (AI) systems aren’t naturally good at asking questions; they have to be taught. It’s a core area of focus for Google, which taps natural language processing and other conversational AI techniques to make interactions with the Google Assistant as natural as they can be. Can we hook it up to the Q&A forum?

Astronomer Juna Kollmeier’s son gave her a real stumper one night back in 2014: “Can moons have moons?” And do they swoon in the month of June?
I know sailors can have them. I saw a documentary series.

Pretty soon that series will be on the History Channel.

Developer Economics recently published a study backed by responses from more than 20,000 developers worldwide. One big area of study: Developers’ relative level of interest in mature technologies. It's not true - they actually hate everything

Researchers in the Information Security Group subjected the upcoming 5G mobile communication standard to a comprehensive security analysis. Their conclusion: data protection is improved in comparison with the previous standards 3G and 4G. However, security gaps are still present. The 'G' stands for, "Guess we need to keep trying"

Everyone in the enthusiast community knows that manufacturer-provided benchmarks must be taken with a grain of salt. There's lies, damned lies, statistics, and benchmarks

Bullshit on both sides.
This cracked me up:
...enabled "Game Mode" in AMD’s Ryzen Master utility...AMD’s user guide for Ryzen 7 specifically states that Game Mode is reserved principally for Threadripper and that Ryzen customers shouldn’t use it Perhaps, "Threadripper Master utility" would be a better name.

It almost sounds silly - train a neural network to generate random numbers - but it has more practical uses than you might imagine. That's much more cost effective than 2d20

The DoD, the report reads, didn't make cybersecurity a priority, even though GAO has been warning it for decades about the risks it's taking by not making sure its systems are properly protected. What's the worst that could happen?

They have surely installed a copy of tic tac toe... problem solved.

The world's largest computing society, the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), updated its code of ethics in July 2018 – but new research from North Carolina State University shows that the code of ethics does not appear to affect the decisions made by software developers. "A man without ethics is a wild beast loosed upon this world"
Either that, or I was going to re-use, "The code is more what you'd call "guidelines" than actual rules."

|

I like the "guidelines" quote better.
Parfait?

We know Microsoft’s decision to join OIN may be viewed as surprising to some; it is no secret that there has been friction in the past between Microsoft and the open source community over the issue of patents. It's as if millions of Linux fanboi voices cried out in shock

|
|
|
They need to expand the name to OINK.
