Microsoft appears to be experimenting with a new type of ads for Microsoft services in the Windows 11 File Explorer. This should get everyone to upgrade!

I wouldn't've posted that. 🤣
That'd be at least a double barf, and probably the first triple barf I've done in a while.
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?

Isn't that slated for Win11 as well? OS as a Service?

The European Parliament voted to advance a crypto-assets bill known as MiCA without an explicit ban on proof-of-work systems. Not banning something you couldn't ban is a pretty brave move

All those green politicians taking a plane to Brussels?
The EP is never ridiculed by anyone. It outperforms anyone who tries.

I actually had a Model UN topic on this. it was officially how "cryptocurrency aids terrorism", but was generally on just banning it or not... We ended up "making regulations for it, where it is to be monitored..."

Microsoft is taking a more challenging, but ultimately more promising approach to scaled quantum computing with topological qubits that are theorized to be inherently more stable than qubits produced with existing methods without sacrificing size or speed. So, quantum computers will now only be 5-10 years in the future. Again.

And we won't know if will be 5 years or 10 years until we observe them.
Schrodinger's computer?
Brings to mind another thought, since it's Microsoft does that mean it can be off and on at the same time?
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

It helped popularize the interactive computing paradigm we take for granted today. "Zo relaxen und watschen der blinkenlichten."

Relaxen is not a real word.
"Entspannung".

Interesting Read. Anytime an interview for a job or a job posting has Rock Star in it. I pass. I am a rockstar. But I don't want to be a rockstar.

Just tell them that if they want a rock star, they have to pay for a rock star. And provide groupies.

Best answer ever. Groupies as in puppies to play with.

Laundry, leftovers and valet service are no longer on the menu for Meta employees. Everyone break out your tiny violins
Although musical accompaniment is probably also getting dropped.

Meta says one thing but it's more likely to be the result of their stock price plummeting. On Sept 1 last year Meta was trading at $382 a share. Today it closed at $188 a share. Meta's market value has dropped $340 Billion since Sept 1, 2021.

That's just funny money. Did their ad revenue drop for some reason lately? The pessimist in me thinks they didn't get as much misinfo money lately, but I'm jaded.

Facebook's advertising money has been dropping over the same period as more people leave the platform.
