The day that my employer starts with it (or better said, the day I find it out), I will start looking for something else and say "screw you" as soon as possible.

Close but not quite right: Left hand is dot, right hand is dash.
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?

Our standard desktop image doesn't include games at all, our browsing is severely restricted, and users don't have necessary permissions to install anything, and we get our laptops if it detects a USB storage device being plugged in, so there's no real way to do something wrong - on our government-issued laptops.
The only thing they could possibly keep tabs on is whether we actually appear to be working (sign-in/out, mouse movement, file access, how often and long our machines go to sleep), but as far as I know, this isn't being tracked. Even if they did that, I could easily write a little desktop app that focuses various opened apps after a specified length of time that no mouse clicks or keyboard activity had been detected.

The addition of this switch indicates that we’ve reached a point of sufficient stabilization of the MSVC C++20 feature set for it be used in production, with full support in VS servicing updates. Great news for those still stuck on VS 2016! (or Programmer's Workbench?)

I don't know why, but I can't avoid thinking on this[^]

Software piracy, long a source of anxiety among app makers and large software companies, may have some beneficial effects. So, stop paying for software and it will get so much better?
Except *my* software, of course.

AI systems cannot be granted patents and will not be recognised as inventors in the eyes of the US law, said a federal judge who decided to uphold a previous ruling by the US Patent and Trademark Office this week. What if they invent a better AI that invents a better AI?

Managers of business technologies (e.g., Salesforce, Slack, Gmail, Workday) are motivated to push forward a new wave of “no-code” and “low-code” development. I'll go out on a limb and guess, "money?"

If someone ever comes with that, I will very probably say... well, then do it yourself.
When they come for the second time asking for help... I will ask for a rise.

Microsoft started pushing promotional notifications on the latest builds of Windows 11 which is currently still in Beta, perhaps showing off how you can never really escape advertising. You can never have too many advertisements

Microsoft Insider testers may get to try out the Android Subsystem for Windows sooner rather than later, based on the existence of a placeholder app in the Microsoft Store. Soon you'll be able to crush candy on your PC
Yeah, I know you already can, but I couldn't think of any games on Android but not on PC. I'm so out of the loop.

A researcher from AWS has combined two quantum processors to create near-perfect randomness. It could help improve modern cryptography protocols. It's easier to flip coins than quantum computers though

They can say what they want... if I really want to be effective learning something (specially if you can't practice from the very beginning) I prefer paper form.
