The network technology first linked the computers of schools and offices. Now it connects us all to the internet. I hope the prize isn't some token ring
time for my coat already?

And with that one, you should have had coat in hand and half out the door.  Although I'm glad you didn't go with tolkien ring.

I'm happy for Bob. But I think the thing that made Ethernet jump forward was the Ethernet Switch. The nice thing about Token Ring and ARCnet was using a token for control gave a deterministic time of response. Once switches became common, Ethernet exploded.
A round 1995 I supported a school district that had several class room computer labs. They booted MS DOS 6.x and Windows 3.11 from a diskless 286 computer using a 10BaseT NIC with a boot ROM pulling data from a common Novell 3.x Server. Each room had about 20 -30 computers and they all got switched on at about the same time. Loading took a while. They were on the same (collision) network, not separated by routers.
We added a 3Com 24-port switch for one of the rooms. It was a miracle. Additional switches were budgeted quickly. At the time 3Com was doing a lot of promotion and training through distributors of these unmanaged rack mount switches. They weren't cheap, but they were worth it.

Luckily the payload size of a reasonably sized usb drive is nothing particularly dangerous, but holy fsck.

CodiumAI has created an AI model called TestGPT that’s powered by OpenAI’s GPT-4 large language model. Its job is to assist developers in testing their code interactively, which it does by generating tests on the go. Can it create tests for the tests?

I can't decide if this is the best or worst invention since ChatGPT - the best/worst invention since machine learning - the best/worst invention since the transistor based CPU. 
To err is human. Fortune favors the monsters.

Windows updates keep you protected and productive in different ways, and we continue to optimize the update experience. They're updates. And they happen monthly (at least)

yeah... right. Until it is the update itself what breaks the system

They should try to optimize the update effectiveness instead.
