So now Hier BnB is a real thing?

I wish Microsoft would learn this...

<Press Conference>"Whopps! We left this driver with mining enabled. We have removed it and recommend people updating to the latest driver." </Press Conference>
<Internal Meeting>"We've released a statement explaining it was a mistake, but the many mirror sites already have it. Now there is a driver that miners can use to buy our GPU cards and keep demand up so we can raise the prices with each new card release." </Internal Meeting>

It wouldn't surprise me that there is still MS-DOS code in the current version of Acrobat Reader. :-D

This sounds like a "Let's Encrypt" for software development signing. Honestly, I think it is a great thing. So many times I've had to install unsigned drivers from opensource projects. It never makes me feel good. With the cost of even the cheapest code signing certificates could be prohibitive many small open-source projects.

I'm just interested in how SigStore will protect itself from nefarious users. This could go really badly if it isn't done well. I'm not sure if there is a right way to do it without some human(costly) interaction.

Great, the phones are kept secure even longer.

Now I can be tortured with the Samsung UI even longer per a phone!

Labor is only a commodity (from a corporation's view) when there is a surplus of labor that can do that skill.

I've worked with enough developers to know that "completely usable" is basically saying, "it doesn't crash." That doesn't mean it would be an experience anyone would want to try to do work with.

You want normal people to adopt the new OS faster? STOP CHANGING THE GUI! This is the main stumbling block for every new major version of Windows. It is the relearning of the user interface. This is a waste of time and money for both consumers and businesses.

Most consumers don't care about backend changes. And unless they are a hardcore gamer, they don't care about DirectX/Vulcan support either. As long as their X,Y, and Z programs still run, that's all you need.

The limited GUI changes in Mate version changes is one of the reason's I love Linux Mint Mate, I can upgrade and get VERY little GUI changes between each version.

I don't have to spend time and energy to relearn things I readily knew to do before. This goes for every user out there.

When it comes to tech, never trust anything that is 'given' to you by a business. You are either customer or the product. Sometimes you are both.

Now that the danger of hurting humans is out of the way, you know there will be after hours forklift battle royals!

Interested wording for a former employee taking advantage of the possible better opportunity at another employer. It almost sounds like the former employer felt that the former employee was their property. The former employer seems to think that employees are property or owes the employer anything. This sounds like the employer thought that the employee was a slave.

Work from home favors the better off. The poor don't necessarily have a good/dedicated space to do work. They also may not be able to get reliable/fast enough internet/utility connections. Also, the minor day to day issues at home are harder to ignore and deal with when you get home when your child/significant other is right next to you or talking through the door to your home office.

Not NetFlix's fault. I'm sure they would love to have it back. The BBC is notorious for jumping providers / rolling their own to get the best deal. It makes it shitty for the customer, especially the non-British customers.
