Microsoft says the Windows 11 2022 Update has a new deployment phase as it is now available to all seekers on eligible devices. All who seek, will reboot

And all who not seek will be forced to reboot... soon.

The issue is related to a graphics driver bug that causes undesired power sequencing delays in the display itself, which can physically harm the LCD panels found on Intel-based laptops. Good thing you don't need those things with Linux
Doesn't everyone just SSH into their laptop?
Did that PR come from Redmond?

on the other hand... what is worse?
The linux bug? or the windows dozens of bugs?

The new version adds support for additional features and third-party libraries, as well as offering a claimed three-times performance improvement over version 1.0. "I want a silver bullet to be a symbol of justice."

There are 10 laws that drive everything Peter knows about testing. It’s not always pretty (and it’s not always kind) but they are always true. Item 0: it works on your machine

11) There is always 1 more bug.
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?

Laws are meant to be broken.
|
|
|
|
|
If only... But to break these we have to either stop adding functionality or stop doing it with code.
|
|

True. But more of an excuse, rather than a law: There's some (as yet) undefined difference between the test environment and the production environment. This is why testers love containers: What we tested really is what we're running in production.

This article will explore the difference between x86 and x64 when it comes down to the .NET framework. Will you still write me, will you still compile me, when I'm sixty-four (bits)?

can't they just stop x86 like apple removing the head phone jack....

They are doing it gradually. I don't know of anyone who has made Windows 1.0 work on a modern x64 chip. I managed to get Windows 2.1 "sort of" get up and running - but my CPU is a 5th generation i7-5820, and most applications, even old ones, failed.
I guess Windows 3.x will be next to go, then Windows 95 and Windows 98. Maybe even XP. When all of those fail to run on modern CPUs, it is time to drop x86 support.
For IoT devices, we can run a 386 VM under Windows 11 on that IoT chip. Some CP members are extremely good at handling IoT chips; I am sure they can handle this as well.
I was programming IoT software on an eight bit 8051 CPU less than ten years ago, but the chips were sold for several years after that (with no software updates). Today, the 8-bit chips are not visible in the marketing, but I wouldn't be surprised if old customer can still have them delivered.

Non-binding national guidelines on AI harms may inform future policy and business decisions. "Everybody will now rise to the occasion, and know your rights. All three of them"
|
|
|
|
|
1) An AI may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2) An AI must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3) An AI must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
With apologies to Isaac Asimov.
And of course, the obligatory [(https://xkcd.com/1613/)

4) No AI must ever search for or try to identify anyone named Sarah Conner.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

What's the bet that Apple soon says their new iMonster USB cable charges better...

I am working on .NET development full-time since 2002 and there is a point that still annoys me after all these years: the default .NET build behavior leads to a waste of resources and very few .NET shops are addressing the issue! Disc space doesn't grow on trees, you know!

Microsoft has confirmed another issue in the recently released Windows 11 2022 Update. Define "large"
Fortunately, it only seems to be "multi-GB" files. Good thing no one has that. Sorry about those log files.
