Comment why tho (Score 1) 1

by bobbomo (#60064662) Attached to: Should Microsoft acquire Canonical / Ubuntu?
Microsoft supports the Azure infrastructure and Canonical supports Ubuntu and its kernel. Azure allows users to run what they want how they want. Rolling their own distro would further fragment the server market with no benefit. For comparison, Amazon has their own, but Google Cloud does not.

Google Chrome version 78.0 error when using Symantec Endpoint Protection

Until we have an update from Google, Symantec, or Microsoft, you can use a different browser or run Chrome with CodeIntegrity disabled (default until version 78) or disabling sandbox.

Win+R, then copy-paste either:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe --disable-features=RendererCodeIntegrity
C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe -no-sandbox

Comment Newsom understanding of contracts (Score 5, Insightful) 573

If I personally have a contract to do a project with certain short-term goals, then not only don't meet those goals, but change what the project is. I would fully expect the money flow to stop since my part of the contract was not met.

It seems to me if there was to be a lawsuit, then it should go the other way around.

Microsoft is Separating Cortana From Search in Windows 10 (theverge.com) 86

Posted by msmash from the for-what-it-is-worth dept.
Microsoft is making some big changes to Cortana in Windows 10. The company intends to decouple search and Cortana in the Windows 10 taskbar, allowing voice queries to be handled separately to typing in a search box to find documents and files. From a report: This change will be implemented in the next major Windows 10 update, currently scheduled for April. Windows 10 will direct you towards an built-in search experience for text queries, while Cortana will exist for voice queries instead of them both bundled together. "This will enable each experience to innovate independently to best serve their target audiences and use cases," explains Dona Sarkar, Microsoft's Windows Insider chief. "This change is one of several we've made throughout this release to improve your experience in this space, including updating the search landing page design, enhancing your search results, and integrating Microsoft To-Do with Cortana."
