Microsoft has begun to notify users via Windows Update if they are currently blocked from upgrading to Windows 10 2004 due to a compatibility hold. Although you do need to go to Windows Update to see it, so let's call it Windows Roulette?

Pity that we can't report them for plagiarism over there... They would have required / still require a kick in the ass for that.

In addition to fueling my excitement about space travel, this launch also made me curious about the tech which goes in these rockets. I did some research from the Computer Science perspective and wanted to share what I found Just in case you want to become a rocket surgeon

Hard not to put a comment in about Boeing. Good for them it did not blow up as the prototype. And the previous versions. And the Tesla's.

Yeah, I hope they astronauts didn't see that prototype go up (the wrong way) the day before their launch.

Vortex lasers are named for the way light spirals around their axis of travel, thanks to a property known as orbital angular momentum "Come on twist again, like we did last year"
And here I thought just plain lasers were cool

When your module becomes bigger you want to divide its functionality into manageable components. C++20 modules offer two approaches: submodules and partitions. Let me discuss both approaches in this post. Nothing funny here, I'm just desperate for news items today

A picture may be worth a thousand words, but apparently one image is worth potentially thousands of headaches for Android users recently. That's...an interesting bug. Did the Boeing developers start working on Android?

I certainly hope they're not still working for Boeing!

It's 2020, and numerous browsers still allow drive-by-downloads from what is meant to be secure contexts such as sandboxed iframes. It's not like the browsers get updated that often

What...? 
That's not true... Microsoft has re-done the browser 3 times in less than 10 years. 
The right question is... did someone use it that much to notice the differences?

Four major book publishers have filed suit against the Internet Archive for copyright violations relating to the Open Library project, setting the stage for a major legal fight over one of the internet’s longest-running ebook archives. "What made it really one of the most dangerous places there could ever be was the simple fact that it was a library"

I don't know about their library, but taking in consideration the content of other cathegories...
Things that are out of catalogue worldwide and you wouldn't find even in the cache of google.
Damned patent and copyright trolls.

Yeah, the regular archive (and stuff like old programs, games and music) seem fine. The problem with the library is that some people have been scanning and posting stuff still in copyright. They do only let it out similar to a library, but I guess the publishers have a problem with them doing that?

Youtube b1tch please?
But as the archive probably doesn't have a law-deparment so big as google / youtube / other big ones...
They should then complain and give a list to the "to be deleted content", but not sue them
or sue all others too.

And most of the copyrighted material through high school is knowledge that hasn't fundamentally changed since before the copyrights were amended way back when. Heck, even a lot of college stuff is, too. Calculus came into being over 300 years ago, for Christ's sake! Relativity is over 100 years old!
Their business model needs to change. With their textbook prices on this 'old knowledge,' it is tempting to say **** ****.
