I'm pretty sure DNA based organisms are the epitome of planned obsolescence.

The design doc documents the high level implementation strategy and key design decisions with emphasis on the trade-offs that were considered during those decisions. I think that I shall never see; a design doc as lovely as a tree

How long with this be in beta
When will the product be cancelled

And...
how many data will get "saved" from the few people that try to use it

Garmin’s fitness wearables remain disconnected after almost a day And now no one knows where they are

This one is really puzzling. For the last 4 days I've been unable to automatically upload my rides to Strava (which has a licence to connect to Garmin's APIs) and I keep wondering "what's taking them?".
There servers were compromised. Databases and server files encrypted. All a big mess. And yet, I'm fairly sure they still control their DNS and they, I hope, can still do clean deploys of their codebase and database restores of their (offsite?) backups.
And yet they still aren't up. So what's missing? Are their backups also compromised? Have they lost access to their DNS? Or lost access to the code that runs their systems itself? It's an odd one and I'm sure the post-mortem will make for interesting reading for all those in DevOps.

FYI: You can manually upload .fit files from your garmin device to strava
They need to make certain all their systems are clean; this takes time, I would imagine their are also working with 3rd party to validate that their systems are all sanitized.
(and working with their insurances and lawyers to make certain they will not be sued.)
I'd rather be phishing!

Yeah, I've been doing that, but Strava only shows the basics: power, speed, elevation, distance and HR. It doesn't pick up any Garmin IQ app fields like SmO2 or power dynamics.

You can do the same with smartphone apps, too. Just download beforehand the map for the area you're going to.

Depends on the app.
With Google Maps, that does not work well. If you do not believe that (since Google offers such downloads), try it yourself. Put your device into "flight mode", and then check. Great experience when even large rivers (like Rhine) are missing. No restaurants on the map either. Your "my places" collection not available. Etc.
True, with e.g. Osmand, that works.

I have done so. And it has worked well for me. Perhaps outside the US it's not so good.

More Windows 10 users can expect to be automatically offered the Windows 10 May 2020 Update. Just in case you want to pause and/or disable any Windows services
"Automatically offered". How ... gentile of them.

Like many platform holders like Apple and Microsoft, Google is in the position of providing both the platform for other apps and their own applications which compete with those apps. Even when you're the product, you're the product
Eh. Not sure about that one.

They are claimed to have the potential to be "millions of times more powerful than today's most powerful supercomputers". That's a pretty bold statement. But how? *Cat not included (or is it?)

GitHub Supply Chain Security Product Manager Maya Kaczorowski takes a closer look at dependencies: why you should keep them up to date and how to make sure you can quickly apply a patch when it matters most. When you import a bug, you're importing all the bugs they've imported
Or something like that. Brain's done for the week. Toodles, and see you Sunday.
