Microsoft says Windows customers might find that some of their files are not deleted after resetting their Windows devices with the "Remove everything" option. It leaves behind streaks

Year 2038 problem? Wasn’t that supposed to be solved once and for all years ago? Not quite. We've got plenty of time to fix it, right?

One of the leaked features is apparently a new desktop Sticker feature that the Redmond firm is working on. Stickers. ... Stickers? ... Stickers.
I guess that's proof they've updated all the icons.

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?

The Advanced Quantum Testbed (AQT) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) has open sourced a new electronics control and measurement system for superconducting quantum processors, making the engineering solutions for the emerging hardware more accessible. Great news for those of you building your quantum computers
@chris-maunder should be happy, at the very least

So should all of us. With quantum hardware all our posts will not exist until they have been read. This will make for more efficient storage, spam filters, etc.

The software giant has started testing a new taskbar that’s designed for tablet use, with a smaller collapsed state that only shows critical information like the time and date or network and battery status. That Windows tablet user is going to be happy

Now we just need one other Windows tablet user to pipe up to prove Kent wrong.

After years of development, Microsoft has finally shipped its virtualized Android-on-Windows subsystem. But a paltry selection of apps and excessive resource demands make this option hard to recommend. How else are you going to play Candy Crush on your PC?
