UL benchmarks, the creator of popular 3DMark and more, has noted that there can be an impact on the performance, especially related to gaming tasks, due to VBS. The benefits of the upgrade just keep piling up

I suspect to most of us, VBS === VBScript, not "Virtualization-based Security".
Another TLA not adequately explained until the fourth paragraph of the article.

I think we're just used to blaming VBScript for everything anyway

Is the strategy, make Windows 11 suck, so everyone will embrace Windows 12?

When dealing with deeply nested brackets in Visual Studio Code, it can be hard to figure out which brackets match and which do not. That's what's been slowing me down all this time

Thank goodness I never have to deal with deeply nested brackets, not to mention Visual Studio Code.

I inherited some code that had a few files that were more than 2MB and around 90K lines. There were literally thousands of global variables, some with single letter names. It was horrendous. I have since completely rewritten all of it. Unfortunately, it is still deployed at several sites and I haven't had the time to update them.

That might not sound like a lot, but President Nayib Bukele has pegged his political future to making Bitcoin legal tender. If they keep this up, they might soon be able to afford a new computer
Maybe a Raspberry 4 from the output of the existing one.

It's beyond me that so many people in crypto currency space don't realize that a unit of current is a quantitative representation of (physical) value, it is not value in itself. Wasting energy (value) to create a unit of currency is a double liability for the government (waisted value + the promised but not created value).
It's like a pointer in software, the current implementation of the crypto currency is like create a dangling pointer, which in reality requires only a few bytes of storage space, and store it in a terabytes of storage space, without allocate any useful storage space for it to point to ... It seams to make nonsense ...
Maybe I am missing something ...

Microsoft's software suite is getting an upgrade on October 5th with the rollout of Windows 11, and this includes Office Home and Student 2021, and Office Home and Business 2021. They still need to put a new ribbon on the box

The search giant has abandoned a project that would integrate bank accounts with Google Pay. A new corporate record!
Maybe someday they'll cancel the project before they think of it.

Facebook doesn't set right with me.
I wonder who has more data on us, Facebook or NSA?

Of the two, I think I prefer Facebook. Facebook can't (yet) send goons around to arrest you for your opinions.

True, except that attacking the software underlying the Internet is much easier than attacking the hardware. I therefore expect software-based attacks to be much more common than attempts to blow up hardware.
(Though IMO, a person/group that releases a virus that disables all so-called 'social media' should receive the Nobel Peace Prize! )

The specific processor and TPM requirements of the operating system means there are large segments of users who will not be able to upgrade to the OS. In the main, if your PC is older than 2017 it is unlikely to run Windows 11. This Piques Many 2.0

This is (SURELY!) the year of the LINUX DESKTOP!!! Squeeeeee!!!
I run Ubuntu 20.04 and am very happy with it.
There is only one thing I can't run that I would like to run : Visual Studio 20xx.
I can run Visual Studio Code and in most cases that covers it.
Did you know you can debug C# code on Linux in Visual Studio Code? Yep, works just as you hpe it would.
So, the only thing I really need Visual Studio 20xx for is building desktop apps (winforms) but...(here comes the troll) .... no one develops winform apps any more.
Even if you do, just run Win1x in VirtualBox and run it from Linux.

I honestly don't understand their thinking on this one.
In essence they are saying "Windows 11 is something you can skip". Alternatively, Microsoft are saying "We give up. The only way we can keep Windows secure is by relying on hardware. Good luck everyone else, we'll talk to you again when you're willing to buy hardware strong enough to work around what we can't do".
I can promise everyone that all the malware, all the scams, or the phishing, and many, many zero-day exploits will still be nicely at home in Windows 11.
cheers
