Windows 11 24H2 goes back to the drawing board over AutoCAD 2022 glitch

Microsoft's Windows is now truly rolling release system, like some Linux distros. The difference here is that Linux distros are stable and rarely break.

Larry Ellison wants to put all America's data, including DNA, in one big Oracle system for AI to study

People tend to think too much about the real purpose and supposed "evil genius" of idiots like Musk and Ellisson.

But ... HE JUST WANTS OTHERS TO USE HIS DATABASES TO STORE AI INFO and get more money this way.

That's all. He's just a bad ol' greedy bastard. They just don't care about anything else.

Amazon mandates return to office for 300,000 corporate staff

Re: Change if it's that bad

Just ask yourself WHY? IF you are doing the same, good job remotely, why on earth would you need to be there physically? This makes absolutely no sense! all of this bullshit talk about cooperation and shit makes no sense. Most people clearly hate to work face to face and this makes them less productive. Research suggests people are more productive i WFH scenario.

It's really NOT about employees. It's about micromanagement of the employer, who does not have ANY metric to measure productivity and the actual output of the work.Do you think it will change with employees on site? LOL.

FIRE INEFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT. Get the one that knows how to measure productivity no matter how and where it occurs.

Dumb and illogical. Micromanagers

Stupid management excuses to micromanage people, because they don't know how to measure the output of the work. Uneducated fools.

Why don't they just ASK people if they want to go on site or work remotely? If someone suffers in WFH scenario, they will be more than happy to return on site, don't they?

But no, instead it needs to be forced upon EVERYONE, just because management doesn't know how to measure productivity and output of the work.

It specifically hurts introverts, which are minority, but still the most productive minority ...

Let's say you put everyone in a cellar and tell them to work from there. That would be bad, right? sure.

Yet, if it comes to putting everyone on site in an office it's suddenly good for everyone.

Microsoft locks door to default guest authentication in Windows Pro

Re: Chaos for Windows Sysadmins

Well, Windows admins are known for their lack of understanding of security. And it's not their fault, really. If you think about it - you are using and managing insecure base, you are being said that it's secure.

30 years too late

About 30 years too late. They are funny, indeed.

Killing trees with lasers isn’t cool, says Epson. So why are inkjets any better?

Bullthis.

Bullshit. It's a greenwashing / ecowashing pretext to dump laser printers, because we all know laser printers are cheaper and more reliable in the long run, giving Epson less profits, while with ink printers you are kinda f%&$ed with unreliable printing mechanisms prone to congestion, cartridge chipset nonsense, etc. All because they want to earn more and more often.

The Year Of Linux On The Desktop – at last! Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 brings the Linux kernel into Windows

May be useful to some folks, but overally - it sucks. Windows as an OS is a joke and cannot be treated as a base for any serious task. That's why I would never use that with WSL. The only possible way is the way around.

It's official: Users navigate flat UI designs 22 per cent slower

"3D-like" UIs were there for years. No wonder flat ones seem harder to navigate. You need to get used to it. On the other hand, our real world is 3, not 2D ...
