While users have not yet experienced the hack, University of Chicago researchers demonstrated its potential impacts using Meta’s VR headsets. "An idea is like a virus. Resilient. Highly contagious. And even the smallest seed of an idea can grow. It can grow to define or destroy you."

It would get really interesting if VR were somehow all around good enough that the real inception is making you think you've taken it off but you're still in it. If anyone ever pulls off that trick it'd be fairly hair raising.

Or inverted... You've somehow taken it off but think you're still in it so maybe do some reckless things.
I think some sci-fi has toyed with the idea of VR sicknesses where you can't tell the difference.

The 24/7 on-call nature of work for many IT professionals is leading to a shift in priorities in favor of a more sustainable work-life balance, a change accentuated by the demands of the next generation of IT pros. It's all about where you draw the line

Not only where you draw it, having the guts to say "no, I am not crossing it" too

Windows 11 24H2 has been available to Windows Insiders for several months, and Build 26100 is believed to be a potential RTM (release to manufacturer/OEM) candidate, but the preview is currently buggy, and you should avoid installing it on your main gig Just another weekday ending in a 'y'

If you check the official C# language versioning page you might think that there is a very strong relationship between the target framework and the C# language version. Beyond your daily requirement for syntactic sugar

A New York Times report details the ways big players in AI have tried to expand their data access. So now it thinks the Titanic was an inside job, that cell phones cause toenail fungus, and ivermectin cures grey hair

Plan would represent a first for what has been a completely ad-funded search engine. So you're both the payer and the product

There is another acronym for 'AI' that is not kid-sister safe. Google CEOs are welcome to take that route, especially after having f***ed search results so badly over the past couple years that they are almost utterly unusable now. Glad my main project was completed when Google search seriously kicked ass.

The goal of C++ Insights is to make things visible that normally and intentionally happen behind the scenes. It's about the magic the compiler does for us to make things work. Pay no attention to the optimization behind the curtain!

I couldn't wait for the day a staple feature of any C/C++ compiler became something new and shiny.
(I did find some optimization related issues inspecting compiler's output on a couple of embedded platforms).

Microsoft is now using a Windows driver to prevent users from changing the configured Windows 10 and Windows 11 default browser through software or by manually modifying the Registry. Who would want to change it, after all?
* changing it not using the "official" GUI. I can't really feel bad for losing the ability to change via the Registry, but I won't turn down an opportunity to poke the bear(s)
I'm also waiting for the news when someone inevitably finds a flaw in the driver that lets them take over Windows

So is the registry no longer the control center, and there is a new, 'hidden' registry that will control this? If so, I would not be surprised with MS's often brain-dead decisions.

I think it's another one of their, "driver watches the registry key and undoes any manual changes"

Windows will soon be a Rube Goldberg OS of interlocking drivers!

And a scheduled task to check that the driver hasn't been disabled...
The more they try to block "malware" (such as non-Microsoft browsers) from changing the default browser, they more they start to emulate malware themselves. 
(I'm sure Nietzsche would have something to say about that...)

What an outrage, and a naked attempt to FORCE people to use edge and bing even against their wishes.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.
