Developers typically only code in what's putting money in the bank. I maintain javascript code, and even if it puts money in the bank, I f*ckin hate doing it.

Given the offers I received lately, I'd say C is going very strong... there is a distinct lack of embedded developers, and not the IoT flavour of them.

Snipping Tool, the emoji picker, and other parts of Windows 11 are breaking Microsoft should have a stern talking-to with the company responsible
I'm assuming the icons still work

Windows 11: 'Doubly Secure!'
(stupid play on expired certificates and inability to use programs, making system even more 'secure')

While those features may not be too much of an issue, I suspect anyone using Windows on a tablet without a keyboard may really feel the absence of the touch keyboard.
Notably including users of a MS Surface who didn't shell out the extra for the keyboard. Way to screw your own user's MS.

If Snipping Tools/Touch Keyboard fails, it's a bunch of trash!
Really, give some time to W11... i didn't test it yet.

Using 147 satellites to beam broadband internet around the world Soon we won't be able to see the constellations for all these constellations

It's crazy. Amazon, Facebook, SpaceX, Boeing -- I mean, how big is this market actually to support all this "competition?"

Last mile connection is a big problem, especially outside of heavily urbanized areas. Non directional satellite internet can be even placed on ships and aircrafts, allowing for better search & rescue operations and better navigation in case of mishaps.

The potential market is bigger than you seem to think. Even SpaceX's not yet approved Starlink phase 3 (42k sats) won't be big enough to give broadband to all the people in the US outside of existing wired/good mobile service areas; compared to that everyone else rushing to get in ahead of the FCC's impending deadline for the next round of approvals is a tiddler.
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?

The vast majority of business and IT leaders see hybrid work in their future, and 42% think that over half of their workforce will be hybrid post-pandemic, according to a 2021 survey of IT pros. That's a job with the front of an eagle, the back of a horse, and the sting of a scorpion
I'm not sure where I was going with that either.

The latest problem pertains to hundreds or thousands of empty folders stored deep on your C: drive, which idly accumulate while you use your PC. And here I thought it was just me being too organized
Good news it's also a Windows 10 problem?

As long as they create the empty folders instead of deleting the content of existant folders...

Maybe they're intended for the thousands of empty system .tmp files.
