What else would you expect from Steven Vaughan-Nichols? He isn't a journalist, he's a technology critic, he writes opinions, his opinions. He made ZDNet irrelevant to me long ago.

Here are five neat changes and improvements Microsoft added to Windows 11 preview builds after releasing its first feature updates. Deciding just how 'neat' is an exercise for the reader

Let me know when you can dock the start menu on the left of the screen, and when my chipset is supported (without TPM), and I'll think a little longer before laughing, and going back to what I'm doing.

I laugh in their general direction.
When they support older hardware such as 6th- or 7th-generation Intel CPUs, I might take a look at Win11. As it is, MS claims that I have only one computer new enough to support it, and I certainly am not going to get used to switching back and forth between two different Windows UIs.

I have never recommended biometrics. I prefer a what you know and what you have presentation for account security. Biometrics, even military grade, can be spoofed too easily.

In this article, we will look at a specific feature called Span<t> and what it can do to improve the performance of your code. Hopefully not a span too far

What? Span is a optimization feature?

I know, I know, not exactly the same "span"

Sure! Using quicksort rather than bubble sort is another optimizing technique.
