Microsoft Edge has been spotted inserting a banner into the Chrome download page on Google.com begging people to stick with the Windows giant's browser. If you can't beat 'em, put up annoying adverts until you do

I see this as fair game. I'm tired of Google's nags to download Chrome.

The irony of putting "with the added trust of Microsoft" in a banner injected by Microsoft into someone else's website seems to have escaped them.

don't they know that Chrome is old and busted. NEw kewlness is Brave or anything else really.
But that is normal. Microsoft being 2-3 years behind the times.

I think I must be the only person who likes Edge better than the others.

I prefer Edge over every other browser. I think the reason people won't use it is because of Internet Explorer.

Am I the only one seeing a bit of irony that precisely they are giving advices on how to secure your network?

I'm pretty sure none of these techniques will keep them out. They removed them from the recommended list.

No, you aren't. I think they are the only ones who don't see the irony.

There's a lot of overhang from technical debt incurred in the COVID-era rush to digital. How much effort should go into clearing it up? I'm sure everyone's wondering how to limit the amount of fixes they do

Spend the other 3/4 fixing the bugs the changes made. Win-win!

Quote: A survey released last year by Software AG found 78% of organizations have accrued more technical debt during the pandemic.
The other 22% either used no tech at all, or had codebases so awful they couldn't get worse?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I would not bet anything important on that one...

Read the article's definition of technical debt and stopped. If this author doesn't even know how technical debt is created I'm not wasting time on a solution that won't work.

Microsoft’s Bing Chat AI has been off to a rocky start, but it seems Microsoft may have known about the issues well before its public debut. It's not like that's stopped them from shipping Windows in the past

Towards the end of last year, the company indicated that it had big plans in store for Windows 11 in 2023. If you have a moment
|
|
|
|
|
Missing two letters? 've'? As in 'movement'? More precisely a bowel movement?
|
|
|
|
|
So will they bring back the full feature set of the Windows 10 task bar and start menu?
|
|
|
|
|
Nah. Things that complicated go into the ten-year plan.

I wonder... why is there no "Article Quality metrics: How to evaluate and improve your text" ?

Thanks for the link, it might be handy at one point.
I actually was more trying to be ironic about the "reporters" of such kind of topics and the quality of their articles... was I so bad with the sarcasm?
