It's probably pretty good to shake stuff up if the focus has been on "syntax" instead of these higher-level skills they're gonna do now instead.
This does explain a lot.

An attempt by a Catholic advocacy group to spread the word of God using an AI model has backfired, and chat bot – Father Justin – has been pulled down and reworked. But Brawndo's got what parishioners crave. It's got electrolytes.
Edit: decided not to go with a direct quote, but a play on it instead

Starting with Windows 11 version 24H2, Microsoft's operating system requires ARM v8.1 to run. You have the right to bear ARM, just not on the new stuff

First link below the article:
"Why companies are leaving the cloud?"
My nice-to-have answer: Hopefully because common sense is getting wider in the C-Levels?
The probably answer: Because the greed of the cloud providers is sucking off some companies and have no other choice thatn go back to something more previsible, like hosting own hardware?

Leaving the cloud?! Really? I wonder to what extent it's true, but I've always been amused by the centralized versus distributed manias. Mainframes => workstations => servers => desktops => The Cloud™.
A couple of English things. For previsible, I think you want predictable. And is sucking off isn't an expression I would use here...

Hubble Network has become the first company in history to establish a Bluetooth connection directly to a satellite — a critical technology validation for the company, potentially opening the door to connecting millions more devices anywhere in the world. The hardest part was pressing the pairing button on both satellites at the same time

The United Kingdom has introduced a new law that bans generic passwords on smart devices in order to protect consumers from cyber attacks. Let the users set the generic passwords instead
|
|
|
|
|
How do you enforce that? And what constitutes a "generic" password? Is "generic" itself a "generic" password.
I guess they could require password checks like the DoD does. We had to compare passwords to a dictionary and then make sure they had the "Two Upper, two lower, two digits, two specials" stuff and then make sure there weren't certain pattern like more that 3 consecutive ascending or descending digits, no set of three or more single characters ("aaa" or "lll" or "777").
STiGs was the DoD name for those type rules. It was a pain.
Also reminded me of the Howie Mandel cartoon Bobby's World. Their last name was spelled Generic but pronounced Jen-ur-ick.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

A company I worked for had for a time similar restrictions with the passwords, additionally they would compare it to the last 10 passwords of you and check for "similarities" before accepting or rejecting the new password.
The policy got changed after a colleague got banned out of his own laptop in a project in the US where the company had to pay 10 or 15 very expensive days of delayment. My colleague got paid holidays until the new laptop arrived.

That's what I forgot, you couldn't reuse any of the last 12 passwords.

Good, more job security for the real programmers among us.
I wish. I am one of the 8000 "effected employees" of the SAP restructuring. They wiped out the entire office of developers where I am, because they didn't want micro-sites. That was the entire team that supported one of the products that was generating 9 figure revenue for the company.

Time to ground a GmbH with your co-workers and sell your time twice the internal price to continue maintaining the product.
And yes, I know people that made the movement. Not as a GmbH but an external contractor / consulting service.

That would be lovely, there's a note in the documentation though that says you have to wait 2 years for any of that. And I am in the USA.

Using the generic architecture you saw at a conference for your company's unique business needs is a surefire way to waste money and time. But it worked in PowerPoint!

Similar to "But it worked in my simulation"
That's what the senior CAD Constructor told me in an old project of mine... the main point is, he forgot to draw the 800mm long gripper of the robot unit.
3 full row of elements in those lines had to be moved back around 350mm so I could manage to get and drop the product inside them... costs over 100k€ and almost 2 weeks delay only due to his haughtiness.
Priceless to see when he had to explain the reasons to the end customer
