EarEcho is a biometric tool a research team led by Jin is developing that uses modified wireless earbuds to authenticate smartphone users via the unique geometry of their ear canal. Login via Babel Fish?

I hate earbuds!
They irritate my ear canals and fall out a lot (during the short time I attempted to assimilate them into my lifestyle).
Many people do not remove them when you are talking to them - that's just rude.

Some Microsoft users are reporting they are seeing their Office 365 subscriptions and products being quietly rebranded as 'Microsoft 365.' Could a potential branding change be coming? "I remember finding out about you. Every day my mind is all around you."

I think this is going to be the ultimate kick in the ass for many people that will push them to change to linux (me one of them).
Not enough not being the owner of your bought products anymore, but paying them in quotes for screwing / annoying you...

A new video series, titled 'Python for Beginners', hosted by Microsoft Senior Program Manager, Christopher Harrison, and Business Development Manager at AI Gaming, Susan Ibach, has been launched by the firm. So you can catch up with the cool kids

X11 builds on Windows, actually. It’s called XMing.

Quote: Python has quickly grown in popularity in recent times, and will reportedly be challenging Java and C in the coming years in terms of related searches being made on search engines. Yes, there will be more and more confused people seeking help, as they struggle with a weakly-typed language where white-space is a block delimiter.

Just on the heels of finding three cubed numbers that sum to 42, scientists have passed another important milestone by finding three enormous cubes that sum to 3. "Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three."

If you've noticed an uptick of spam that addresses you by name or quotes real emails you've sent or received in the past, you can probably blame Emotet. It's one of the world's most costly and destructive botnets—and it just returned from a four-month hiatus. I'd complain that these people need a better way of making money, but I guess this is a pretty good way to make a lot of money

Cascadia Code was announced this past May at Microsoft’s Build event. It is the latest monospaced font shipped from Microsoft and provides a fresh experience for command line experiences and code editors. New fonts are almost as good as new icons

Quote: To ensure Cascadia Code was the right choice for the font name, we held a poll on Twitter along with other names we were considering.
This has got me worried, is this the new MS approach to everything?
"What should we put in the next version of C#, guys?" "Dunno mate, let's ask the good folks on Twitter!"
It will all end in tears.

Programming ligatures?!? What in the name of all that's holy in the world of programming is that good for?
A font that deliberately obscures basic symbols in your source code by replacing them with composites. Yeah, we can tell how well that works...

My theory is that the PM had a love affair with APL many years ago and is using rose tinted nostalgia as a design principle.
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?
