SubVersion is a far better solution for most projects in my experience.

It's a lot simpler if you don't use the command line. But for some reason using a UI to hide all the absurd and complicated switches and options is like walking into a biker bar and ordering a Shirley Temple. You get beaten up for no good reason.

Exactly, yeah. The burly CLI folk dominate in a lot of the discussions. Most of our team has standardized on GitHub Desktop, and it's great - as long as nothing goes wrong.

I use SmartGit but my activities are really only create branches, commit, merge, resolve conflicts, and sometimes revert, which sucks (not SmartGit's fault) because you can't just merge the branch back in. Git thinks the changes have already been applied because it's in the commit change.
I haven't dared to figure out how cherry picking works. One of my coworkers wants me to start doing pull requests. Given the repo is managed by BitBucket, which sucks, pull requests add a few precious minutes to the work day for each commit. And the only person qualified to review the changes is, well, basically me. So I fail to see the point, as I'd simply be approving my own pull requests! A very off-color NSFW analogy just popped into my head.

Microsoft is working with chip makers like Intel to bring its Pluton security processor to all Windows 10 PCs. Nice paperweight you have there - sorry about that last update.
"A body of intrusive igneous rock" - not the happiest analogy for a product name, IMO.

So, MS is embedding a sub-processor of it's own inside of future Intel and AMD CPUs.

Microsoft is investigating a new known issue causing enterprise domain controllers to experience Kerberos authentication problems after installing security updates released to address CVE-2020-17049 during this month's Patch Tuesday, on November 10. "Update" now means "disabled". Good to know.

"Did you test?"
"I thought you did."

Update to the ultimate usability experience: NaN (-o NaN-o)
(The bourbon I drank tonight said this was funny - my intellect said it wasn't so much, since it borders on stupid, and too obfuscational of the 'none' that was my original response after the colon. What the 'ell! Full steam ahead!)

I think there might be a snarkiness inflection point, or possibly singularity, where one actually starts becoming more conciliatory and accepting of other people's flagrant stupidity.
Messing with the laws of time and space is a dangerous thing, Kent.

Especially these new keyboards which strip the final "e" from your message subject. 
Although technically, "anymore" isn't valid outside of the USA. It should be two words: "any more".

Yeah, nowadays it has to be sanitized and handed to you while both parties are wearing PPE through a plexiglass box that is under negative pressure to suck up any remaining virus trapped inside.
And no, I didn't read the article. I clicked on the link thinking I'd find something marginally interesting and realized I was looking at one of those articles where several thousand words are splattered onto a blank page, much like a Jackson Pollock painting, but in the case of the article, has no meaning, consciously or subconsciously derived.

VPNs are not perfect, and using a corporate VPN system can create bottlenecks, as I've mentioned previously. But in some cases, using a VPN router at the employee's end may make it easier to manage their device's security and other policy settings and keep organizational data from accidentally ending up in a child's math homework. And having a standard network device configuration deployed to employees at home also could address issues like quality of service (QoS) and specific protocol support required to ensure SIP phone systems and specific company applications get priority over Fortnite.
Most home routers support QoS in some form, but they may require more technical expertise to configure than employees can muster. Your IT helpdesk isn't going to be very well prepared to walk employees through configuring random Wi-Fi routers, so it may help to select and standardize on a small number of supported routers—and to provide some backup connectivity options for employees when their ISPs fail (like a cellular modem).
OH ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) NO!
if corporate IT wants to stick a box between an (already VLANed off port) on my router and work device to add a layer of paranoia they can; but I'm not letting them put anything in a place to be able to spy on the rest of my network.

Better than 3:55 out the door, so that they stamp out at 4:00

They hold way more power. They charge almost instantly. What's taking so long to get them out there? But are they included?

I suppose the best answer is $$$$
Either too few money now for the investigation / development / production
or
the fear of too few money afterwards in charging, maintenance, post-selling actions...
