Windows 10's version of Paint has been mostly unchanged since 2009. If that doesn't make people want Windows 11, I just don't know what will

Microsoft's next version of Windows Server, designated as a Long Term Servicing Channel Release, is now available to customers. Because some sysadmins don't have Clouded judgement

After a dense presentation about the undeniably impressive work Tesla is doing with AI, the company’s self-anointed Technoking, Elon Musk, capped the evening by bringing out a dancer in a spandex suit. Behold, said Musk: my Tesla Bot. I don't seem to get the punchline
But I often wish he would

The brain organoids developed optic structures that reacted to light, but they're not conscious. This always seems to work out for the best in the movies
This is how we end up with Intellect Devourers, people

They're growing politicians! (The operative phrase being brain-like.)

That would be a crime against Humanity. 
Fortunately, there is no evidence that these brains are bribeable corruptocrats lacking any shred of integrity.
EDIT: I am an equal-opprtunity despiser of politicians. I despise all politicians of any nationality, party, sex, sexual orientation, ethnicity, or any other category you may think of.

You are not alone. I feel the same way. Just this afternoon, SWMBO asked me "How can you tell the good ones from the bad ones?".
I patiently explained they are ALL Bad.

Another week, another story of technologists enduring a gauntlet of “crunch time” to finish a project. Only if by "crunch time" you mean "free chips (crisps) at the team meeting"
|
|
|
|
|
Experienced software developers are quite good at estimating small tasks, or estimating small subtasks in a larger task. The issue for a large project is that it's impossible to list all subtasks a priori.
No, "crunch time" is usually necessary because of "feature creep", which we are notoriously bad at resisting

Feature creep, combined with an immovable launch, true.
A certain company I used to work for liked launching at conferences. That usually lead to crunch time. I still think it’s generally a bad idea though, as that’s often the code that comes back to bite you first.

Not only software companies do that... Maybe not at conferences but I have had a lot of projects for different customers that had very rigid deadlines and kind of official "events" (SOP's)...
Specially when being abroad, that led to weeks with 80-110 worked hours. Followed with several days off to recover when back at home or getting ill.
Today I would say... screw you. If it is not ready for the deadline, next time don't be so arrogant, hear to our estimations and add a 10% to 15% buffer on top. If you have to book longer trips and pay more travel expenses... your problem.

Along with the release of Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22000.160, Microsoft today announced the release of official Windows 11 ISO images. In Search Of a solution?
Or at least justification for the "after the last version"?
