Microsoft has made Windows licensing and activation ridiculously complex. Here's what you need to know. I didn't even know I could drive it
|
|

From the article:
Quote: But here's the most fascinating and frustrating part of Windows licensing. If I sit down in front of your computer and (with your permission) do a thorough inspection, I cannot conclusively determine whether you have a valid Windows license.
This issue alone should invalidate any license violation claim by Microsoft. If the end user cannot tell if they have a valid license then there's no way to enforce licensing.

Wouldn't it be enough for the licensor to show that the installation was performed with a license key that was used not in accordance with the license?

Starting with the standard library, modules promise to improve both compilation speed and how C++ developers organize code. #include <i-do-not-get-it>
"This will compile 10 times faster than the old version using #include <iostream>, Stroustrup said." OK, fine. I guess I'll allow it
|

More boilerplate, so I'll probably pass.
I wonder what it would take to just compile everything together instead of compiling one "translation unit" at a time.
But after switching to CMake with Ninja, I don't care about build times. Maybe 5 times as fast as the old way.

A toolkit for building rich console apps for .NET, .NET Core, and Mono that works on Windows, the Mac, and Linux/Unix. So we can all go back to those wonderful UIs of yore

I thought "rich console apps" was a lame joke, but this looks quite good!

“Top Gun” fans knew ahead of time that Val Kilmer would be reprising his role of Tom “Iceman” Kazansky in the sequel, but the specifics of the actor’s return were a question mark considering Kilmer lost the ability to speak after undergoing throat cancer treatment in 2014. "Some people didn't like what the voice did say, so I took the voice and I locked it away"
Yeah, I'm posting celebrity news now. (but I blame management)

The technology behind it is actually interesting.
Pity that their biggest use will be to abuse it to create better fake videos...
