I actually was happy to fail the test, at least I would nto be annoyed with "update" ads. If I have to change the OS, I want to be the one deciding when and which version I want to install.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you

The redesigned context menus are a controversial part of Windows 11. Now I finally know what that scissors icon does

"The Butcher's Knife Cares Not for the Lamb's Cry" the one and only episode from that quarter I've aever seen, having no "Paramount" streaming subscription and no will to fork over bucks just to watch TV on some "device" I happen to have. Will wait, I'm sure, to acquire the Blu-ray compendium of the Series once it is finished running there.
I like Star Trek. I'd call myself a discriminating fan. And with all the internet fanclubs and info available I can certainly see it and other sci-fi video feature-length output running my life as I approach my senesence.

I do not use Windows 11 on a day to day basis yet.
I've grumbled that moving the cut, copy, & paste funtions to the "show more options" menu was annoying.
I honestly didn't notice the icons across the top of the context menu.

I hope that they have fixed the feature that is my pet peeve with the current Context Menu. The Show More Options menu item is at the bottom of the list and appears whilst other menu items in the middle are still being added. Many times I have moved to the Show More Options item and clicked it but, in between moving and clicking, the menu has expanded and I have unintentionally selected Share With Skype.

And "Share with Skype" likely isn't even used by the Skype team.

The majority of organizations have some level of software security debt, with experts warning firms to reassess how they maintain third party code Second only to actual debt

After actual debt, ask Ai to solve your security debt, comes at only 130% interest with no contractual obligations!
This should actually be marked as spam, cannot further AI's mission to take over the world, pinky might feel left out!!

Technology company Nokia (NOKIA.HE), opens new tab on Wednesday unveiled an AI-powered tool that generates messages for industrial workers, including warnings about faulty machinery based on real-time data and recommended ways to boost factory output. "Now that is a name I haven't heard in a long time"

Vaguely remembers the name, associated with brick and banana right?

Creating a register of licensed AI professionals to uphold ethical standards and securing whistleblowing channels to call out bad management are two policies that could prevent a Post Office-style scandal. Because a licensing body *always* stops bad behaviour
I mean, lawyers are licensed, right?

Threatening messages made to prevent piracy are more effective on women, according to new research "And if you got anything to say to me, you can say it with cash"

Quote: more piracy — if you’re a man.
Well I think it's because of the accent, men like to say things like, "Yarr, you scrurvy dog, fetch me some grog!" more than women.

So one the one hand, we're still worried about discouraging "illegal torrenting, streaming, and file-sharing".
But at the same time, we're giving big business free rein to steal everyone's words, pictures, music, and videos to train their "AI" models to make more money.
This is fine[^].

I am deeply annoyed by threatening messages trying to make me think what I am doing is illegal, when Norwegian Law explicitly allows me to do what I am doing.
Norway always had very liberal laws for making individual copies of protected works for private use. The general rule is that as long as you do it yourself, for your own private (non-commercial) use, and the only right protection you break is one who can be generally considered to be broken (such as video disk zone and CSS), you can freely save any broadcast, make copies of your friend's CDs and movies.
There are a small handful of exceptions: You cannot make private copies of databases, nor of computer programs. You must make the copies yourself, you cannot to any sort of 'copying service' to have it done. Your right is limited to making 'single copies' (but 'copies' in plural); if you own a copying robot, you cannot make a series of 100 copies to share among your friends.
I am not doing that anyway. I am doing what the law explicitly grants me permission to do. So I am offended by these threatening messages trying to make me feel like a criminal. I am not!
Religious freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make five.

Microsoft has invested billions of dollars in AI, and it wants everyone to use Copilot on Windows. Maybe you could ask the Copilot to show you the desktop
Possibly the part of the taskbar I click most often
