It's so cool to see someone put all that work into a software/hardware solution and carry it all the way out to solution.

Yes, but humans can be made with unskilled labour.

But humans can be infected with Corona, and thus require sick leave.
Uhm, wait, actually, internet connected computers can be infected with ...

Unfortunately, Werner von Braun knows unskilled labor.

Which is funny, because four engineers spend 5 years to solve a problem and in 1 second you see that you want version 2.
That's what I thought as defense for the girl... she makes really cool forms, in different highs and other stuff. That is going to take a while to get done by a robot.

Microsoft has released a new portal that will allow you to get behind the scenes with Windows 11 designers. Find out how the icons get baked
Or at least the designers. There has to be a reason.

anyone know of articles which explain why mouse operated screens corner buttons important?
It's related to UI metrics, and 2006 uni lecture pointed out how XP (unless was vista) had issue that start button was not flush to corner, meaning moving mouse to corer edge and clicking did nothing.
Patch fix you can see that on click the mouse moves 1 pixel in to trigger start button.
All this to say that A: the windows 11 menu in middle is great for the right handed population using touch control, but for mouse this is horrendous UI basic design.

We’ve simplified the process down to just one command, simply open a command prompt window with admin privileges and run wsl.exe --install. Because Linux is a virus, or something like that
Looks like the Windows Update to enable this isn't broadly available (yet) - at least this isn't working for me yet.

With the switch to remote work, employees have been left to foot the internet bill and many workers believe some changes are in order. And while you're at it - a cafeteria would be nice

On the 10th anniversary of its first survey, the multi-vendor State of Devops report concludes that DevOps is still "rarely done well at scale," and that "almost everyone is using the cloud, but most people are using it poorly." So avoid it in HO or Gauge 1 and go full size?
