No one likes an office whistler or pen clicker – but for some people, these noises aren’t just a nuisance, they’re a full-blown aural assault. Why? "They'll bang on tong-tinglers, blow their foo-flounders, they'll crash on jang-jinglers, and bounce on boing-bounders!"
Headphones. Must. have. headphones. (and music)

Being able to ignore noise hardly qualifies one for such a post.
If you can't handle the clicking of a pen, imagine this; a coworker at the last office had this radio, and I found myself sometimes singing along with it. With one song containing the line "I'm a psycho killer", which I would shout. The coworker took over the habit of shouting the same during that line of the song.
Must have been very worrying for our manager, especially if customers near

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Computer users for example spend most of their time repeating the same motion such as typing at the keyboard, maneuvering the mouse, and swiping on touchscreens. These seemingly innocent gestures when done thousands of times a day are precisely what lead to disabilities such as carpal tunnel and musculoskeletal disorders. "We must never become too busy sawing to take time to sharpen the saw."
Keep them working, and you can keep working.

They say “performance is king’… It was true a decade ago and it certainly is now. With more and more data the world generates each day, we need more and more computing power to process it. You mean it's more than just checking the 'optimize code' checkbox?

Alongside our publisher and developer partners, we’ve been getting ready for Stadia, and are adding more titles to our day one launch line-up. Try it before they cancel it (probably by EoD tomorrow)

OneAPI unifies code across multiple hardware targets—like Nvidia and Intel GPUs. "This is the voice of Colossus, the voice of Guardian. We are one. This is the voice of unity."

Kind of more satisfaction listening to them

It's like Electron, but without bundling Node.js or Chromium, and without most of the the APIs. You got web in my windows!

On the other Hand...
If Edge now is based in Chromium... who the is going to be the target for this WebWindow?
Is this the next "attack" to MAC and Linux browsers?

Intel is removing drivers and BIOS updates for desktop components and motherboards released in the 90s and early 2000s. Time to install those drivers you've been waiting a few decades for

Good that I always do a backup of all drivers I need (still have a couple of devices that could need some from the to be deleted)

That is definitely the tl;dr version of a lot of articles about Microsoft lately. Sadly.

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?
