Quote: A recent survey by BCG found that 70% of digital transformation projects fail because of three main reasons: unrealistic expectations, lack of technical documentation and forgetting about customers. Digital transformation projects?! Reason #4: Managers who can't communicate in plain English.
And it links to the article that reports on the survey, so let's take a look:
Quote: Digital transformations are an imperative as today’s leading corporations need to build bionic capabilities in order to harness the potential of disruptive technologies and integrate them into new processes, organization models, and ways of working. Bionic capabilities?! That's yet another link, but I'm out already. is wrong with these people?!

Sadly, I'm old enough, which may partly explain why I found it so jarring.

Yeah, I think they're already out of the horse pen, or however that expression is supposed to go.

But... have they asked it with "please, please, please"?
as if the ones that would abuse it would "listen" to such an open letter...

The data in this survey tried to gauge the number of systems out there in the enterprise space that were actually ready for Windows 11 and its stringent system requirements. I just can't imagine why there's such a lack of urgency
Without looking it up, tell me 3 features of Win11 that aren't in Win10. (OK, diminished task bar and start menu features. I guess they count?)

The CPU issue is really stupid since many older CPUs support the security features in Windows 11. Microsoft's lack of testers finally came back to bite them.

Quote: The percentage of CPUs that meets the requirements has gone up from 44.4% last time to 57.26% this time, an increase of around 13 percentage points.
Does this mean an average of an 8 year hardware life cycle, or have they ed their metrics by including Apple hardware that will never be given A TPM because they rolled their own version; and with windows on arm more of long running non-funny joke than anything else are increasingly irrelevant to the share of computers that could be running win11?
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?

It's been 10 years since Microsoft unveiled TypeScript, a programming language that would develop alongside JavaScript but offer new ways for developers to manage large and chaotic applications. It seems people really do like types

Quote: Anders Hejlsberg, lead architect of C# and creator of Delphi and Turbo Pascal, has worked on the development of TypeScript. andQuote: Since 2000, he has been the lead architect of the team developing the C# language. In 2012 Hejlsberg announced a new Microsoft project, TypeScript Honestly, I think Anders has been a godsend to the programming world. Turbo Pascal was the first affordable "real" programming language that I used for years, and of course I love C#, and TypeScript is, not be repetitive, a godsend as well.
