Part of me disagrees with this statement, and part of me agrees. To make it easier, use Access which many frown upon. By the time you've done that work, the DB approach is far easier to get more information from than Excel is, in my opinion. And you can take it to a better DB from there. Once you know the tool, you know why to use a DB in the first place.

Hah, quite. I was looking at that and I can't believe people ask questions like that where it's clear they haven't made any effort themselves.

Came across this today. It is a better response.

Windows 10 users can harness the power of low-code RPA by downloading Power Automate Desktop on March 2, and it will be included in Windows Insider Preview builds in the coming weeks. And remember: with great Power Automate Desktop comes great Responsibility Automate Desktop
Now taking bets on when it gets used to hack machines... By end of week or end of month?

Quote: Update C# source. Now that all your projects have been upgraded to .NET 5 and references upgraded when the tool could help, it’s time to make some specific fixes to the C# code. Right now, the tool offers a set of ASP.NET analyzers, which will apply fixes for known patterns that where in .NET Framework that have .NET 5 equivalents. You can pick and choose the analyzers you want to run on your code or run all of them to catch any usages of older .NET Framework patterns. Some examples for ASP.NET include:
- Apply fix for AM0001: ASP.NET Core projects should not reference ASP.NET namespaces
- Apply fix for AM0002: HtmlString types should be replaced with Microsoft.AspNetCore.Html.HtmlString
- Apply fix for AM0003: ActionResult types should come from the Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc namespace
Reporting "I have no idea how to fix this problem" to the the first bullet point here was the biggest reason I rolled my eyes at MS's previous tool as being a useless joke.
Although I'm not working on it anymore, I'm going to have to find a bit of my own time to try running the .netframework web app I used to support through the new tool and see if it actually does enough to make planning an upgrade plausible.

Tattoos are usually considered a form of personal expression, but a team of researchers in Europe have created what they’re calling the world’s first light-emitting tattoo based on OLED screen technology that, besides presumably looking kind of cool, could also serve as a visible warning about potential health concerns. "And I just love your flashy ways"

No picture of an actual tattoo. Color me disappointed.

If you're older than about 15 (and I'm being really charitable here); temporary tattoos aren't.

Well, following my mind where it always goes (given the slightest excuse or making up one of its own):
These could be found as very useful should a more experienced girlfriend be in the dark with her currently virginal boyfriend. You know - sort of like landing strip guides, maybe a little messaging like "IT'S OVER HERE !". You can see what I mean (in your minds eye, at least).
And note that in our current world of the young who's entire social life seems to be via a tiny hand-held device, this is now idle concept !

Mutations in nature still have "rules" they must follow. You aren't going to have a child that has a random gene replaced with a cheeseburger. I can't speak to whether this software actually does anything or whether it's buzzword funding bait, but the refutation here is very lacking in my opinion.
The most interesting part is the article bio:
has written extensively on how code and software systems evidence intelligent design in biological systems
Now that's a unique premise. One that would be blown to pieces if the software's claims were true.
