Microsoft says that parts of the Task Manager might become unreadable for some customers after installing this month's KB5020044 preview update for Windows 11 22H2 systems. Who needs that app anyway?
/sigh, double /sigh, and a hearty triple /sigh

This is why my home network's WSUS server auto-declines any update with the word "Preview" in the title.

I can really see Microsoft's argument for reducing their testing staff and pushing more of it onto the users. The speed at which updates can be distributed these days, means that software doesn't necessarily need to be free of bugs when it's released.
In the old days, you had to have better testing because your software was going to be depended upon for long periods of time between releases.

Analysts from Forrester expect the jobs market will continue to favour developers in 2023 amid mass layoffs. "I can't live, I can't give anymore"

The main reasons given by the latter to explain this exhaustion are high workload (47%), process inefficiency (31%) and lack of clarity of objectives and targets (29%). "I'm not growing up, I'm just burning out"

... and the other 17% are so busy they don't have time to identify the condition.

The other 17% were totally unresponsive lumps of charcoal or heaps of ash?
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?

Elon Musk said on Wednesday he expects a wireless brain chip developed by his company Neuralink to begin human clinical trials in six months, after the company missed earlier timelines set by him. Him first?

On one side I read too much sci-fi to not be scared shitless of this, on the other I read too much sci-fi to not be elated for this.
But it's Elon speaking so it's 99% forecast of being bovine manure fueled by eating the fun kind of grass.

“Pretty much every single monkey that had had implants put in their head suffered from pretty debilitating health effects,” said the PCRM’s research advocacy director Jeremy Beckham. “They were, frankly, maiming and killing the animals.”
Yeah, I think I'll pass.

Why do we even give any press attention to when Elon expects anything to be ready? This is likely going to be another "We'll have full self-driving by the end of the current year of 2017", then 2018, then 2019, then 2020, then 2021, then 2022, all over again. Still waiting on my cyber truck delivery from 3 years ago. Yawn.
Probably running out of money and needs some additional funding, so it's time to make another fraudulent promise.

Got to hand it to him, though. It's no small feat to replace NASA in the rocket building and launching business.
And he may have been off with his predictions in the past, but only in terms of when, exactly, not if.
