In a surprising move, Microsoft has confirmed that it’s currently not working on a stable release of WinUI 3 for UWP apps, as the company wants to focus on once-legacy Win32 apps for Windows 10 and Windows 11. UWP: yoU Won't Prosper

The last time I wrote Windows GUI, I used something called WTL[^]. If I was asked to do it today, wouldn't know where to start with all these failed technologies that were released in the meantime.

Will they issue tickets if one's rapid eye movement breaks the local speed limit?

Microsoft says it’s gone door-to-door replacing routers compromised with the Trickbot malware in Brazil and Latin America, hoping to squash an international hacking group. Hi! Have you heard the good news about our lord and master, Windows Update?

Isn't it a little early in the year for Trick or Treat?

Each year, people are creating more content and using more devices to access that content. So it’s more critical than ever to be able to keep files, folders and photos safe, synced between devices, backed up and organized. Which replaces the tool that replaced Google Drive (what goes around, comes around)
And I'm sure there will only be mild to moderate scanning of all files loaded.

We're pleased to announce a product that has already been released: Dropbox OneDrive Google Drive. We mean, the NEW Google Drive, which does exactly the same thing as the old Google Drive! (At least until we cancel it.)

I wonder if this is a stealth system for updating the icons?

google avoids the whole "you changed the Icons now the software is ruined" cluster![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) by replacing the entire application instead. 
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?

They put the most useful feature, "organized", last. That's my biggest problem -- how do I organize all those files, folders, and photos? I guess the more important question is, why do they need to be organized? Which then leads to the question, why am I even keeping them?

Maybe it's the language?

In a little more than two decades, it’s become the most widely deployed database in the world, according to the official webpage at SQLite.org — partly due to its simplicity. It was bit by a radioactive database during a gamma bomb test...
And it watched as its mother (named Martha, of course) was shot in an alley behind the opera house as its rocketship was sent to earth.

It's a shocker that a database installed on each client that uses it has more installations than a database installed on more machines than those that have one installation supporting possibly thousands of clients.
I don't think that makes it "most widely-used" though necessarily.

The core message that I want people to take away is that there is potentially a huge amount of value to be unlocked by replacing SQL, and more generally in rethinking where and how we draw the lines between databases, query languages and programming languages. This is what happens when ORM become ubiquitous

IMHO, SQL is an alright tool for data analysts. Applications would benefit from a different database API.
That said, I have no idea what the article is all about
