That's now... wait a couple of new versions... then they will not be "top concerns" but "top reasons for abandoning"

Rumors abound that a new library/IDE for Rust called "Corrosion," that reeks of AI, will blow all other languages/IDE's away.

New Windows 11 build ships with more Rust-based Kernel features[^]
I see Rust replacing C++ in a lot of usage scenarios going forward.
Quote: Microsoft announced that the latest Windows 11 build shipping to Insiders in the Canary channel comes with additional Windows Kernel components rewritten in the memory safety-focused Rust programming language.
Rust is seen as a safer alternative to C and C++ due to its memory safety improvements which help prevent common issues such as null pointer dereferences, buffer overflows, and dangling pointers that could lead to system crashes and security breaches.
It also enforces rigorous rules for concurrent programming, mitigating data race conditions where multiple threads concurrently access and modify shared data, thus allowing developers to write concurrent code that is secure and free from data races.
This is critical for Kernel processes as memory bugs could allow attackers to execute commands at the highest privilege levels in Windows. Therefore, securing them with a memory-safe programming language would be a priority for Microsoft.

"But does it run Linux?" can now be finally and affirmatively answered for the Commodore C64! I suspect 'run' is being generous

But... does it run "Doom"?

A snail could boot Linux at that rate.

One of the biggest business cloud file storage services, Dropbox, won't be giving its business customers unlimited storage space anymore. Someone always has to spoil it for the rest of us
|
|

|

Due to some users...
And instead of baning those users and deleting their data, they make everyone pay for it (and for more storage, of course).
I suppose that the "Oh, fvck, our server farm is running out of space... what do we do now? Maybe we underestimated our capacities when selling the idea of the marketing department" has nothing to do.

I didn't want to be that direct, but yeah...
That's the same as "XXX price forever" and then increase the price 3 or 4 years later.

The certificate, originally spawned by Symantec, was scheduled to be banished years ago. Someone restored the wrong backup?
|
|
|
|

Or the certificate was developed by the same guys that made the "antivirus"... The only way to make Norton 100% gone was to format the partition...

Realistically you're going to look stuff up anyway, so you might as well learn how to do it right Can we just Google the answers?
Semi-seriously, after looking at Q&A, this might not help some people.
Of course, having the answers already filled in might not help some of those people

So, they are now doing as some teachers of mine back in college?
They explained 3 of 4 things in the lessons, and in the exam they asked about the 4th.

The new settings homepage gives you quick access to recommended settings, Bluetooth devices, personalization options, and more. As opposed to the Control Panel?
So we get a third place to look now?

If they make it like the article's image example, yuck! More of a 'text tile' menagerie than a beautiful 'icon' design. And I can't believe they are backing away from their precious 'icons.'

It won't matter. The sorry sods will keep reorganizing the homepage just for the joy of it. Seriously. On Windows 11 I'm in file explorer. I want to delete a file. The dumb SOBs put the Delete behind More....
There's not much hope for us.
