Users can opt in to give the AI access to their own silo of Google content for more personalized results. Give Google more of my information? Where do I sign up?
And was that a purple crayon, turquoise, or powder blue?

If it really is an opt in... then is fine

Well, it is Google's definition of 'opt in.' Take that for what it is worth.

SprySOCKS borrows from open source Windows malware and adds new tricks. I guess they have more eyes than the Linux developers

According to the Windows Insider Program Team blog post, the new feature leverages users’ browsing history to populate the Recommended section with websites. Plenty of room on that menu, go ahead and add a bunch of stuff

Quote: leverages users’ browsing history
Someone has failed to understand that the word "history" means, roughly, "been there, done that, don't need to do it again." Besides, that's so old tech. Where's the newfangled AI that will instead recommend completely fresh sites I've never visited and never would want to visit?

Absolutely agree. I bought a ceiling fan at Home Depot and sent the receipt to my email. For the next three months I received daily advertisements from Home Depot for ceiling fans. What a complete waste of Home Depot's time to have their programmers send me advertisements for a product I had already purchased.

Sure, a DIYer isn't likely to want the same product-type again in a hurry.

It can use your history to decide what new sites to show you. It doesn't say it will populate the recommended sites area with sites from your history.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

As an FYI, I just came across this today. I don't have Win11, so can't testify to it's ability, but it looks nice: StartAllBack to fix all Windows 11 deal-breaking UI issues. Not free, but low-cost. I still use the old Win7 menu style with folders from Start10 program. Tried Win 10's monstrosity and couldn't organize it nearly as well so if I go to 11 I'm certain I'll end up getting something like that. And it docks right and left!!!

Learn how the overload pattern works for std::variant visitation and how it changed with C++20 and C++23. Now your head can hurt as well
VB called and wants the Variant back

Meh! Until this works perfectly, I'm not interested:
int main() {
return magic();
} That should create whatever program you want without any further input. Keep working, compiler writers!!!

And I thought the obfuscated C contest was bad.
Sorry this is a day late, was on PTO yesterday and didn't touch a computer all day. I wasn't sure that was posible.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

Interesting read. This also has implications for permanent human habitation on the Moon.

yeah right. A very long time ago, real intelligence came up with managing traffic in Atlanta. Downtown Atlanta and "events" - baseball, football, basketball, music festivals result in some very interesting traffic opportunities. So, some very smart people from GE Tech came up with an algorithm to maximize the outflow... controlling all the traffic lights.
Total gridlock. They neglected to understand that at some point humans will go elephant you and run the lights.
Humans are incorrigible. Beware the AI to change it so...

Not surprisingly, salary is the number one reason tech pros are quitting, but other factors include lack of career advancement and leadership and vision, according to new research from a U.K.-based recruitment firm. Mo' money?
