Microsoft announced today that it would end support for Windows 10 21H2 in June when the Enterprise and Education editions reach the end of service. All existing copies will explode. Upgrade now!!!
Am I the only one that can't read these version numbers without dozing off?

It fell through a timewarp from an alternate and very different computing universe "I'm from another dimension. I mean, another–another dimension."

Microsoft has a roadmap for its new Outlook app that involves adding more features and more users over time. If it ain't broke, don't force people to upgrade (yet)
At least, as long as people are paying the support contract for the old one

Wake me up when the new Outlook can handle two Exchange mailboxes at the same time.

Researchers have shown that a problem about the energy of a quantum system is easy for quantum computers but hard for classical ones. "Who put the bomp in the bomp bah bomp bah bomp?"

Is it because quantum computers are quantum systems?
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

Alcubierre Warp drive will require quantum computing to manage. There are too many quantum instabilities for classical computer systems to manage this level of space/time manipulation.

Here are all the changes Microsoft has made across its services to comply with the European Union's Digital Markets Act (DMA). They'll have to find something else to fine them for now

To talk about C++’s current safety problems and solutions well, I need to include the context of the broad landscape of security and safety threats facing all software. C+=safety

Sorry, C and C++ can never be type safe languages.
- Buffer overruns will always be possible when using null terminated buffers.
- Use after Free errors for objects will always be a possibility without a run time enforced memory allocation and garbage collection.
Is it possible to write provably memory safe code in C and C++? The answer is Yes, but only in a very small subset of use cases where all the dynamic memory is allocated at program startup and never deallocated. Stack based variables are generally safe as long as they don't point to memory that wasn't allocated at startup.
Mr. Sutter ignores the fact that nearly 90% of exploited vulnerabilities actually stem from memory management errors. The chart in his article shows this as well.

Yeah, I think he's just feeling stuck after n^2 years of being in the C++ space. So, he feels the need to try to make do with what he's got.

Here you can find everything there is to know about the first version of Windows. Never mind keeping your Windows 10 running, go really old school

I used 1.0 on my xt pc. Ran Aldus Pagemaker on it - yes I did. DesqView ultimatly won out and remained the victor until windows 3.0 came out.

I didn't know those even existed... I jumped from Spektrum 128k (DOS) to Windows 3.11 (actually was my brother PC) and Win 95

I started with Windows 286 with Word. (Word for DOS was horrific.)

Damn! I used to have the source code for Word 1.0 laying around somewhere. Now I have to go see if I still have it.

Hopefully found with a magic wand as well.
