Had it driven over a kid or something like that? or why the did they just do it?

Windows 11 is also getting a much better color management feature soon. So you'll be able to play Pong in ultra-high resolution!

The new rule gives state attorneys general the ability to take action against scammers using AI voice cloning tools in their calls. That should stop all of them!

In this article, I'll introduce Corporate Agile as a way to label dark patterns that drive the rising negativity about agile working methods. You have nothing to lose but your scrum masters
Elsewhere, I've read the term for this as frAgile

In other words, Corporate Agile is nothing more than the old Waterfall method, but corrupting Agile terms.

JET's final nuclear fusion experiment produced a record-breaking 69 megajoules of heat. Nice. "Some like it hot, but you can't tell how hot 'till you try"
"Released over six seconds from only 0.21 milligrams of fuel, the energy record equals the energy released from burning 2 kilograms of coal." (from a different article on this event). <-- I guess you have to start somewhere. All for only 700-800MW input. So, in 30-50 years—when they get this perfected—we'll be set!

Last time I checked solar and wind are both clean energy. Wind doesn't require those huge windmills but can be added just about anywhere.
|

Neither solar nor wind are consistent enough sources of energy in most locations to match current demand, much less our ever-increasing demand for power. And they aren't completely clean or without their own negative environmental impact.

No power source is without negative environmental impacts. Fusion won't be either. As for intermittent production, that's what batteries are for.

Sudo for Windows is a new way for users to run elevated commands directly from an unelevated console session. It is an ergonomic and familiar solution for users who want to elevate a command without having to first open a new elevated console. Now it's official you can get a sandwich
Kind of a duplicate, but this is the official announcement, so I figured it would be worth posting
Also, apparently it works on Win7 and up, if you can get it off of a Win11 machine

runas /user:<admin account=""> has been part of Windows for over a decade.

But you have to remember all those slashes, and the colon. That’s sooooooo hard!

It is troublesome to keep typing my password when on the other hand, running my cmd.exe in admin mode and clicking Ok on the UAC prompt is easier and hassle-free. If there is a keylogger running on your system after login, hacker can get your password.

But, can I have a vertical taskbar yet[^]?
Since they're stealing ideas from Linux (orig. Unix), my Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS allows vertical task bar and I'm using it now.
So maybe they'll steal that idea soon.
