...to perform the futile exercise of 'putting the AI cat back in the bag'

I've been using Authenticator Pro for quite some time now on my Android phone. Also a great alternative to Google Authenticator and has the same features detailed above of Aegis Authenticator.

There's a difference?

I doubt very much that this will happen.

When Moore's Law stalled with the stalling of clock cycles, we simply tried to side-step and restart Moore's Law by simply doubling the number of processors/cores instead of doubling the clock speed.

Of course, that gave us the additional problem of parallelization and we seem to doing an equally poor job at managing that as what we're doing managing and efficiently using the abundance of other computing resources we've been given.

They're coming right after the flying cars, right?

The first thing to install after installing Windows 10 is this very useful tool: Shut Up 10
which will turn off most (if not all) of the spying within Windows 10. The utility gets fairly regular updates, too.

Made by a well respected German company (who are a Microsoft Gold Partner no less - no figure).

Yes, and don't forget that the C3 project, upon which most of "agile" (or at least XP) is founded was, ultimately, cancelled and considered to be a complete failure

Tell that to:

Automattic
Mozilla
GitHub
Basecamp (formerly 37signals) (who even wrote a book about how great remote working can be)

along with a myriad of other companies who work either entirely remotely, or have very liberal policies around remote working.

Most, if not all of whom, can be considered to be quite successful within their field.

Spot on.

I've often said this to my programming colleagues, but Dates, Times and calculations between them really are one of the hardest "problems" in solve in programming/computing.

Dates & Times are so incredibly deceptive as on the surface they appear simple yet when you really look into it they're incredibly hard to get "right", what with time differences, daylight savings times (where we arbitrarily move the clock around for the hell of it). DST's are the worst.

Imagine if things like DST were applied to our numbers. It's like having our normal Base10 numbering system, but once or twice a year, we suddenly decide that the digit 6 actually represents 7 of something (or alternatively, represents 5 of something). Now all those calculations that assert that 6 + 6 = 12 are wrong, as 6 + 6 actually equals 13!

What you don't know, though, is the shop is a front for his more surreptitious and covert activities. Apparently, his superiors in MI6 were a little uneasy with him specifically running a shop selling spy equipment as his "cover", but he successfully convinced them that its the best disguise. You know, hiding in plain sight and all that!
