Microsoft says that the Windows Update for Business, which helps in the deployment of such feature updates, now adds the option for admins to choose between whether that update is "required" or "optional" for their users. Gone force-installed updates, enter coerced updates

What if your clipboard were a place AI could work its magic? With the PowerToys Advanced Paste update, it’s all possible (for a small fee). I'm afraid I can't paste that, Dave

Are they messing with copy paste? Here is something that can break the internet as we know it...

To provide you with the most modern and efficient options, we are replacing VBScript with more advanced alternatives such as JavaScript and PowerShell. Find out what VBScript deprecation means for you and how you can get ready. What's the word for reading an obituary when you thought the feature was already dead?
There has to be one of those long German words for it?
That sound you hear is a couple of ASP classic websites about to go dark.

So will the Windows Scripting Host also be depreciated. It's the VBScript engine for Windows.
|
|
|
|
|
It would probably have to - it sounds like they're pulling the DLL, so that would kill all those.
They have been pushing WSH users for a while to go to PowerShell. That's a bumpy transition.

My plan to ignore VBScript paid off! (Okay, they pay was poor, but...)

Quote: It's often embedded within HTML pages to add dynamic interactivity and functionality to web pages ...
Excuse me?! 
IIRC, that only ever worked in Internet Explorer. Given the limited reach, I don't think it was "often" used in HTML even back in the 90s. In the words of The Big Yin[^], I'd be "shocked and stunned, and more than a little amazed" if anyone was still using it in HTML today.

I was thinking/hoping that was a poor description of ASP Classic. But I might be giving them too much credit.

Good job they specified it's a white dwarf. If it were a red dwarf, I'd blame it on Cat[^].

Whatever the f*** would be wrong with a simple statement such as "Copilot toolkit will allow you to use many different data sources, such as public websites, to build custom Large Language Models."???? Infoworld now run by CEOs, and thrives on 'technospeak'?
