Times New Roman, because corporate policies are even more glacial than the Office team.
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?

If it's for my personal documents, I've reset the "Normal" template to do what I want. At work, some drone has provided a set of templates that we are supposed to use, so all "official" documents have the same look and feel.
Problem solved.

In a strange turn of events, Ubuntu developers are asking users not to upgrade their Ubuntu 20.10 installations to the recently-released Ubuntu 21.04 due to a strange bug. They really are trying for that Windows experience aren't they?

In this final article of our C# 9 series, we’ll look at advanced features related to native interop and performance in C# 9. Read up before the inevitable wave of C# 10 articles start piling up
Function pointers. ugh. Well, I guess I can just ignore them, right?

Might be useful when you have to do a lot of interop stuff, as shown in the article.
But why do I suspect that they will be used to write more C code in C#?

Everyday we hear examples of creative learning – not just as an important aspect of personal and professional growth – but also as an avenue for social engagement, helping people feel more connected in a largely virtual work environment. Bonus points if you can filter the bafflegab and figure out what it does
But then I guess you might not need it then.
"creative learning" /sigh

Quote: we’ve heard consistently from customers, industry analysts, and our own internal users how important learning is to them.
Somewhere someone seems to have forgotten that while learning is important, choosing what to learn is even more important.

I am reminded of when microsoft.co.uk was dropped by Microsoft UK a good many years ago now. Someone registered it and tried to tell Microsoft UK about it but no one in the UK operation would pay him any attention. It was only when he contacted Microsoft in Redmond that action was taken.
** edit **
This article, Microsoft forgets to renew hotmail.co.uk domain • The Register[^], seems to suggest that it was hotmail.co.uk that they mislaid. My memory might just be faulty about it being microsoft.co.uk but it could have been both at different times.

A new publication in Nature Materials has successfully tweaked low cost semiconducting materials, quite similar to the composition of plastic, into conducting electricity more efficiently than before. So we can get stuff to power the recycling bin?

.NET Framework 4.5.2, 4.6, and 4.6.1 will reach end of support on April 26, 2022. After this date, we will no longer provide updates including security fixes or technical support for these versions. I predict upgrades in your future

This seems quite reasonable for the reasons given but I predict it's going to be controversial.

Over the years, new scientific discoveries have led to softer and more comfortable contact lenses. And now, research bringing together chemistry, biology and microelectronics is resulting in contact lenses that are straight out of science fiction. Except for the part where you have to talk into your eye
