Comment Pro Audio Devices (Score 1) 69
Windows11 anecdotally has some distinct glitches on systems that run multiples of certain types of pro audio devices. Because pro audio is the single application for which I use Windows, and in fact the only reason I've *ever* used Windows at all, this is of enormous concern for me. The only truly annoying thing I've noticed is that as a side-docker, I can't handle the fixed location of the taskbar. But as strictly a single application user I really don't want a desktop environment at all, just a host OS for my application and maybe a terminal console for file management and administration.
I've never run Windows for anything else real. Linux was either my 4th or 5th Unix, depending on whether Coherent counts. I went straight from the minicomputer world of the 80s to the Unixes of the 90s and was an early adopter of Linux, which works for absolutely everything I do except pro audio. I know Apple is a thing. I know Linux audio is a thing, I've had a hand in developing it. I don't even hate Windows, but I dislike forced platform changes.

The media does not determine who is president.
You're saying that they shouldn't report on election results? Or are you wishing they would use some other source of information other than the actual election results?

Many situations require the encryption of SSL without necessarily requiring the authentication of SSL. This is the case when the risk is more from something like accidentally or casually disclosing sensitive information and there is little or no risk of intentional attack, but where there are liabilities for routine exposure. This scenario isn't really a job for SSL, but what else do we have to work with?

It would not surprise me to learn that in some form, software developed in the 1960s is still in use today.
This is coming from someone who had to hack Fortran code as recently as 2009.
Wouldn't surprise me one bit.
