Hooray, I'm still young!
Now, if I could only get my knees to believe that.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

I didn't say we are young... I said youngster should love it.
We are already old farts and that's why we like it (and participate)

One longstanding goal of AI research is to allow robots to meaningfully interact with real-world environments. Oh great - teach them how to open cupboards and drawers. Then they'll be in the liquor cabinet all day.
At least that's how it worked out for me.

A German academic is running a study into the effectiveness of vulnerability scores – and is hoping the research will shed more light on the occasionally controversial system. Oh a scale of 'Ooops' to "O.M.G."

the problem comes later when the managers have to understand the situation and release money to increase security.

According to a recent interview, Duracell and Microsoft entered an agreement some time ago meaning that Xbox controllers must use replaceable batteries rather than built-in Li-ion batteries. But they keep going, and going, and going...
FWIW, Microsoft disputes this, but I'm all about hearsay and gossip.

Microsoft is believed to be working on a major Windows 10 update codenamed "Sun Valley" and "Windows 10++". "It happened In Sun Valley not so very long ago"
Yeah, a dupe, but with enough of a different focus (IMO) to post on a slow news day.

It could either be Sun Valley, Idaho--beautiful--or Sun Valley, CA--sh*thole.

That's the connection I had wanted to make originally, but my brain was failing on the other (California <- generic scuzzy LA in so many movies) one. Thank you.

Microsoft now allows users of the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) to run commands automatically on WSL distribution startup. Oh, this won't lead to anything bad at all...
