I couldn't write jokes this funny.

Windows 7 users have started to report the appearance of a pop-up message from Microsoft informing them that support for the operating system is coming to an end. Goodbye my friend will I ever love again

For two periods last year, those using preview builds of Windows 10 could access a feature called Sets: a tabbed interface that was eventually to allow tabs to be put in the titlebar of just about any window. Come. We will honour Sets memory. *grabs kazoo*

Let's get real, here.
As ms currently is, they'd have F***ed it up really badly, so we're better off using third-party stuff, anyway/

Don't bother with Stardock's Groupy. It causes far more problems with Excel than it ever solves. Could be a good product, but low levels of service and denial of the problem means updates don't exist

Okidoki; a different third-party product.
Thanks for the tip.

That seems like a feature I have no interest in. I usually want to see the various command windows at the same time. The same with multiple explorer windows. I would rather be able to have the explorer work like the old file manager did with views of two drives open in the same window. For this reason, I still use the old file manager. It's been released as open source and I built it as a 64-bit app. It has some warts but it works well for 98% of what I need to do.

There's a set of H-series processors for laptops and a complete range of desktop processors across the Celeron, Pentium, and Core brands, from i3 all the way to i9. Intel was so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.

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?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Some Microsoft employees are criticizing the company's efforts to increase hiring from under-represented demographics to make its staff more diverse, according to messages leaked to Quartz. It takes a special sort of person to think, "you know what would be really good for my career? penning a complaint about how our company is too diverse, and then putting my name on it."

too much diversity?

Quote: Threads started by an as-yet unnamed female program manager and posted on the internal Yammer message board in January and April assert that white and Asian men are being penalized or overlooked because of hiring practices that reward managers for hiring people outside of those groups.
Penalizing certain groups of people based on their colour and / or ethnicity (as the article suggests) is surely racist. Hire the best, irrespective of their race, religion or ethnicity.

The whole point of positive discrimination, for those incapable of grasping it, is that existing hiring practices are already discriminatory - to redress this requires breaking that pattern.

Positive discrimination is still discrimination. Just hire the most qualified irrespective of race, gender, religion or ethnicity.

Wireless customers are hanging on to their old phones longer than ever. Well now that I've stopped using iPhone they tend to last longer.

I'm currently using a Samsung Galaxy S5 that I've had since just after the S6 came out.
My wife thinks it's time for new phones, so I'm looking at the S9+.

It may be the last phone in Sammy land without a hole or notch! Went from an S5 to a Note 8 via the Note 7, and love the 8. You will probably love the 9+. So much faster without the 16gb limitation. And the cameras are in a whole different league! Enjoy!

A popular hotspot finder app for Android exposed the Wi-Fi network passwords for more than two million networks. I guess I shouldn't be telling people my passwords in these headings, either, huh?

So long as cryptocurrency exists, so too will the extraordinary lengths to which thieves will go to try to steal it. Unfortunately, that also includes preying on weak private keys, a method that has evidently made one crypto bandit filthy rich with millions in swiped Ethereum. *cracks knuckles* I told ya, they call me the blockchain bandit.

in bed with the whale$: what a shock ! [^] Quote: Europe's new standard for protecting online information, the GDPR, was supposed to strengthen data privacy. But nearly a year later, the world's chief enforcer — Ireland — has yet to take a single action against major technology firms like Facebook and Google.
Our 10-month investigation found that Ireland spent years wooing America's biggest tech companies. Ireland's regulatory agency showed a pattern of accommodating corporate interests, avoiding disruptive enforcement action and prioritizing "engagement" — consulting — with companies whenever possible. And now that's threatening data privacy for billions of people around the world. A POLITICO investigation:

The last few months have been all about Microsoft getting rid of its legacy products...
However, nothing received more user attention than the Windows maker’s July 2018 decision to deprecate Microsoft Paint. Paint lovers will be happy to know that the company has decided against removing Paint as a standard feature of Windows 10, as confirmed by Brandon LeBlanc, Senior Program Manager of the Windows Insider Program at Microsoft.
This is the most promising news I've seen about W10 since the last icon pack update.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing 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?
