Following the launch of May 2020 Update (version 2004) in May, Microsoft is now preparing the next version of Windows 10 called "version 20H2". For those who've managed to get 2004 installed

Quote: Alt + Tab
This version of Windows 10 will also change the way you use the At + Tab keyboard shortcut.
Currently, Alt + Tab app switcher allows you to switch between the open windows of your apps, but in version 20H2, Microsoft says it has updated Alt + Tab to show your browser tabs right alongside your apps.
The highlight of the update is an attempt by a clueless ![Sunshine | [little ray of sunshine]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/sunshine.gif) of a PM (probably the same one who bitterly fought to prevent the addition of tabs to IE on the grounds that they'd make it harder to use - "it's much easier if all two or three sites you have open at the time are in their own windows" - years ago) to render alt-tab unusable for anyone who keeps more than a handful of browser tabs open.
On the plus side the initial damage will be limited because it'll only be enabled for new-edge.
On the minus side, that means if Chrome/Firefox end up adding support for it a year later, ruining alt-tab for everyone, the anti-feature will have been around long enough for MS to really dig their heels in and refuse to un![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) windows because the feature has been present for over a year, and weirdos running only 1 or 2 tabs at a time on have fallen in love with it.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Do you get the feeling that I'm really not a fan of that change.

I suppose that Alt+Tab and then Ctrl+Tab was too difficult for the one neuron of the guy that took that decission

It doesn't help that Hollywood has cast the 'coder' as a socially challenged, type-first-think-later hacker, inevitably white and male. "Why not both?"
In the words of my awesome, good-looking, and well-dressed boss*, "This guy is an idiot"
* Why, yes. It is probably review-time. Odd coincidence.

What a load of sh*t. Something challenging and complex can't be fun? I'm sure there are many brain surgeons who think, "I can't believe I'm getting paid to do something so enjoyable."
Now, granted, this moron doesn't know the difference between coding, programming and engineering, but I LOVE coding. Yes, it can get tedious and frustrating at times, but when the planning and architecture is done and I'm "in the zone" writing and debugging code, it's a [hippie] trip. Next thing you know 10 hours have passed.
(One weird moment is when someone comes up during this and asks a question. They go away happy. Then you realize that you have no clue what they asked and what you said. But maybe that's just me.)

Wow, I don't know if I should be offended at the stereo type, or offended that I meet all the requirements of that stereo type...except for the hacker part. The movies are so outlandishly unrealistic in the fact that they never google for the answer. The socially-challenged, type first, think later is pretty spot on though.

A security flaw in the way Microsoft Windows guards users against malicious files was actively exploited in malware attacks for two years before last week, when Microsoft finally issued a software update to correct the problem. Better hacked than never?

Architecture decision records, also known as ADRs, are a great way to document how and why a decision was reached within a codebase. Because it saves time from writing 'address' out completely?

Previously unknown Drovorub is being used by advanced hacking group APT 28. It's the Year of Linux Insecurity!
Finally, it's popular enough the hackers care. Congratulations!
