Comment Can we get clarification for Satya Nadella? (Score 1) 26

"It's kind of funny people think about the console and PC as two different things," Nadella said

Cool, cool, and hes the techbro after all, but can he explain why XBOX lives within a closed eco system unlike the PC which is built upon the premise of an open system? Because, it seems to be, that Satya Nadella doesn't have the first fucking clue what hes talking about on this. XBOX is just as much a PC as an iPhone is a PC.

Comment Unlikely - they will re-write in HTML5 (Score 1) 41

Hey, Microsoft have already published that they are deprecating .NET in favour of HTML5 in Windows. Who cares if they use AI to do it.

Its no mistake that everyone has to read between the lines because Microsoft is the least trustworthy IT company in the history of man..... sorry, I just got interrupted by an advertisement asking me to purchase a Microsoft subscription so it can help me finish writing this sentence. Where was I? Oh yes.....kind

Comment I look forward to the eventual release of Win11 (Score 1) 57

Out of Interest, does anyone on Slashdot know when Microsoft will complete Windows 11 and release it to the public. I appreciate we are well into beta testing now. I guess the problem is Windows 10 goes EOL in October which is going to leave a very small window for acceptance testing and organisations to roll out the final version of Windows 11

Comment that's fine, but no more short content youtube (Score 1) 30

As a YouTube premium member, the worst thing that's happened to YouTube is the inane shorts, and I'll continue to aggressively down vote any shorts and leave foul comments on any of these tool bag's short format videos. And I understand, the majority of the people on the planet are morons and derive great entertainment from mindless content, but why not make a special site for those special people.... Like Tik Tok?

Comment Over 20 years later, Claude is back! (Score 1) 23

Claude is without a doubt the original chatbot. I think I first used it in 1991. Seemed revolutionary at the time. Spent hours talking to it. His vague understanding of what was being input and his meandering stories always illicit a chuckle. My only question is why has it taken so long to create a new version?

Comment There is an easy solution to this (Score 1) 74

Back in the 90s Microsoft recommended that, under no circumstances, should you store passwords or pre-authentication information in cookies. You would have to be unbelievably incompetent and reckless to write a web service to work that way since its reasonably trivial to steal the contents.

Yet, here we are, and Microsoft as usual is able to demonstrate why it made those recommendations so many decades ago.
