Are they going to add a "Use by" or "Best before" date as well?

Why not? They put a "Best before" date on rock salt, don't they? :facepalm:

Those not happy with the taskbar in Windows 11 will be glad to know that Microsoft is about to restore the ability to enable seconds for the clock in the notification area (system tray), getting the new operating system one step closer to feature parity with Windows 10.

Quote: getting the new operating system one step closer to feature parity with Windows 10. So someone admits that W11 was a step backwards?

These enterprise IT changes will exert long-lasting influence over the way businesses approach IT operations. I'm sure that one day we'll look back on this list as prophetic (or pathetic)

One of the basic design patterns in .NET is the static Parse function. Virtually every class that can be instantiated from a string representation has one. Yet before C# 11 and .NET 7, there was no way to create an interface that accommodated this. It's just like regular parsing, but with a plain yellow label

Alas. What do the labels look like on no-name products down there?

With WinAppSDK 1.2 you can now create widgets for the Windows 11 widget board, use the most modern WinUI controls – including media playback & InfoBadge, and support HDR graphics through the DisplayInformation APIs among other additional features. Not to be confused with the .NET Framework SDK, the WinUI SDK, the Community SDK or any of the other Windows SDKs I'm forgetting now
Another SDK that I'd really like to know if it's being used by anyone here

Microsoft has urged developers still using the long-term support (LTS) release of .NET Core 3.1 to migrate to the latest .NET Core versions until it reaches the end of support (EOS) next month. We're still good with .NET 1.1 though, right?
Or 2.0 if you like LINQ?

Except LINQ wasn't introduced until 3.5.

It's still the preferred .net for NT4 applications.
