I put Windows 11 on my new machine. If you don't have to move to Windows 11 stick with Windows 10. The start menu in Windows 11 looks like Sinofsky (remember the Windows 8 UI debacle) designed it.

She also designed the ribbon command bar[^].

Since the plural of anecdota is more links, here's one from Arstechnica looking at why W11's growing about half as fast as W10 did on steam.

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?

Crypto entrepreneur Sina Estavi bought Twitter founder Jack Dorsey’s first-ever tweet as an NFT for $2.9 million last year. He listed the NFT for sale again at $48 million last week. *snort* giggle
I also may have gone with "Hee-haw, hee-haw, hee ha-ha-ha-hah", figured few would get the reference

Quote: Estavi has two days to accept the bid, or it will expire. I thought once you put something up for auction, and it was bid on, you had to accept the highest offer. I guess I was wrong, or it doesn't apply if you are rich. In this case, even though it is purely hypocritical of me, the auction house should charge him 30% of the 2.4 mill for their 'work.'

Not if you enter a "reserve price", i.e. a minimal price at which you are willing to sell. The danger here is that you typically owe the auction price a percentage of the sale price. If the bidding doesn't reach the "reserve price", you owe them that percentage of the "reserve price".

Thanks! I'm a neophyte at auctioning - I've heard their cut is way too much.

A few years ago, Bruce Maggs and colleagues decided to take on a challenge: building a speed-of-light internet. Researcher rediscovers microwave towers, collects grant
And makes popcorn
"Assuming a hypothetical budget of 3,000 towers spaced roughly 40 to 60 miles apart, the team figured out the best way to beam signals from tower to tower along the shortest possible paths, and without things like hills or buildings or trees getting in the way." Simple!

The third preview of .NET 7 includes enhancements to observability, startup times, codegen, GC regions, native AOT compilation, and more. They forgot to put it on the unsupported list?
There's your native AOT for those wanting it.

According to a new study by Instaclustr and Forrester Consulting, enterprises using open core technologies report a clear desire to move to pure open source alternatives — but 70% struggle with inter-company strategy and support roadblocks. Do they get confused by seeing all the source code?

Who is responsible for supporting open source software? Who is accountable for the flaws? Can your company afford to wait two years for the retired farmer in France to fix the math library he wrote a decade ago?

For every great open source library/package, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of awful libraries/packages. Even good ones get abandoned. Then there is licensing; claims to the contrary, open source licenses are a legal [largely untested] minefield.

I wanted to use a small OS library for something at work... I had to file the license and the link where it was offered to the legal and the compliance departments, to fill several applications / petitions and wait a while for permission before being allowed to use it.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Microsoft says Windows admins can now opt into automatic updates for .NET Framework and .NET Core via Microsoft Update (MU) on Windows Server systems. It didn't already?

My only worry is that someone is going to package up these meetings and sell them as cures for insomnia, which would infringe on my patent pending idea, but I don't have the lawyers to fight big tech. I may have to grudgingly accept a seven figure settlement with single digit royalties.
