I am not always agree with the EU politicians, but I do find that they are doing good standing up against the huge internet companies (not always for the right reasons but better than nothing). It is time that they get slowed down

I have a vision of a counter with an "Antitrust" sign over it. Google, Amazon, Facebook are in line and when done, just go back in line. And they all look like people from the Python "twit" sketch.

I don't even take ISO seriously, probably because they take themselves too seriously.

I thoroughly agree with you on that.
As an engineer, I have bumped heads with them as well as the Australian Institute of Engineers.
What a mob they both are.

I'm rooting for modules. The C++ module system is a joke, a low-level feature that can be shoehorned to provide something similar, yet laughably inferior to what languages like Pascal had decades ago.

Elon Musk’s Neuralink, the secretive company developing brain-machine interfaces, showed off some of the technology it has been developing to the public for the first time. The goal is to eventually begin implanting devices in paralyzed humans, allowing them to control phones or computers. Him first

Although I think it could be a huge improvement for some people... I wonder how long will it take until someone tries to move the control in the opposite direction.

could hooking up a experience .net programmer brain to a computer eliminate the need for other programmers?

The other day, there was a message about landing in a meteorit... my comment "Armageddon step 1 check"
Now this post and your comment "Next stop: The Matrix."
it just reminded me a quote:

AI has changed the way video games work, and it's slated to change that even more. NPCs beware.

A perfectly good use of AI.
But the article was written by a woman, who should be forced to "go back" to her great-grandfather's country, where crime is rampant, and school massacres happen every five minutes.
Seriously, though, the number of female gamers is so low (comparatively), that I was surprised that the writer was a girl/woman/whatever-she-wants-to-be-called.
That's the only reason I haven't bitched about the glaring errors in the text of the article.

It will have AI when a portion of the bad guys just give up and quit after seeing their comrades get mowed down with little effort.

"AI" has been cheating in various games for decades. Especially in a good RTS.

A self-contained app is a great way to share your application as all components, runtime, and framework are included with the application. "One pill makes you larger, and one pill makes you small"
"And the result is just a 29 MB single EXE."
Well, frabjous days...

A great improvement.
Why make things hard for hackers?

So, only slightly more than an electron app.

You forgot the part about it only being a "Hello world" app! 
So much for the good old days!

If they do go that route, the only way this would work is if it somehow compares what you have installed with what's in the EXE and deletes the extra baggage from the EXE. If you don't have the components installed, it takes it from the EXE and builds only what you've already received from the EXE into the .NET Library. Afterwards, every EXE with new DLLs get added to the library.
Too tiresome.

Move over, Cortana: Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant could come to Windows 10’s lock screen. Just like everyone has requested
And by 'everyone', I mean "some mid-level partner manager at Amazon"

The bug is hitting all supported versions of Windows 10 and the scannow command displays a generic error message, and the culprit appears to be the latest version of Windows Defender. You didn't need to check for valid copies of system files anyway, did you?
Ugh.
Where's that Mint install disc?
