It's from Microsoft? I can't imagine a better argument against its use.

"Inbox zero" often feels like the ultimate unattainable goal. You can spend hours organizing your email, and somehow a deluge of new messages will always emerge. That's funny - "YouPS" is what I say when I see certain emails in my inbox
More or less.

What users say and what they'll actually do are different things. What users (including me) want is email to magically filter emails based on my mood that day, but have no desire to write, and maintain, filters (more complicated than a simple word match.)

We had a kind of such a system, with ready to use or adapt intelli graphical UI (for filter construction, classification, etc.), developed years back. IMHO, it's a lot more precise in filtering than those keywords based search means seen on the market.
It's just that it seems email systems can not be openly deployed independently. They seem to be not self-sustainable, without been part of a larger system that makes money to support them, in the current software ecosystem ...
So we keep it for ourselves for now, which is way less expensive. Maybe if we could find a way to support it (financially) in the future and emails are still in use then, we could consider release it ...

Russian scientist admits it probably escaped from Russian Navy research effort. Or it was just a beluga tourist
A belugourist, perhaps

Over 40% of those surveyed do not have faith in companies like Amazon, Google, Facebook, Instagram and Apple to lawfully manage their data while a whopping two thirds feel their personal data held by online services and social media platforms is at risk from hackers. "Trust in me, just in me. Shut your eyes and trust in me."

So what happened to the other 60% suffering extinction?

Hosted by a Microsoft cloud server, the 24 GB database includes the number of people living in each household with their full names, their marital status, income bracket, age, and more. This is almost as bad as that "White Pages" leak!

Hate to break the news, but you can all this information from various online services--you just have to pay a few bucks. (Wouldn't surprise me if this data is from one of those services.)

Have they learned that hiring qualified QA is worth it?
It's also helpful to have a company president who isn't an idiot.

Docker Hub lost keys and tokens for around 190,000 accounts, which could have downstream effects if hackers used them to access source code at big companies. That's OK, they probably can't figure out Docker enough to use the information

A while ago I ranted about Microsoft and how they have broken the FileVersionInfo API. I posted a bug report about it and the buck was passed to the OS group.
Today I received an e-mail that stated a comment was posted to my report. It was from a MS person who stated, Quote: We are so sorry for you are experiencing. Could you please update your vs to the latest build: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/releases/2019/release-notes . If the issue still repro, please create a new feedback for us . Thanks. Well great, flying elephants. Their answer is get a new version of the compiler and see if that happens to fix the problem. In other words, please test this for us. We can't be bothered to.
Uh, no. HELL NO!!!
From what I have read, VS2019 has zero compelling reasons for me to update. I have managed to mitigate, work around, or just ignore my numerous annoyances with VS2017 and I really don't want to start all over with that. Plus, I am in the middle of an extensive development project and really don't need the headache or distraction of a new compiler when there is no reason for it.
Apparently, the OS group has punted on this problem and consider it a non-issue. All righty then.
What really annoys me is twenty years ago I wrote my own little development environment with a script language and debugger and when I had an update ready I ran it through a torture test that checked all kinds of stuff, every aspect of the language, and all of the environment's library functions - every single one. It took a little while to run but it was very thorough and I considered it necessary. This resulted in very, very few bugs escaping into the wild. In fact, I can't remember the last time I had one. Anyway, I know the Win32 API is quite extensive but I can't believe Microsoft, with its regiments of programmers, can't manage something comparable.

Come down please! Don't compare your script dev what ever with what MS manages very successful (serves millions of users) with more or less no problems.
It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question
