Your accent is excellent, BTW.

While some companies are seeing an increase in optical drives sales(opens in new tab), generally speaking the days of the DVD drive are well and truly over—but what to do with those leftover drives? For very small sharks?

There are all too many examples of Artificial Stupidity in new (and allegedly improved) bureaucratic computer systems, often out-sourced to companies that supposedly know what they're doing, which subject their users to serious difficulties that force weird, time-consuming, and unsanctioned (or even illegal) work-arounds. Validating names deemed difficult

Having written name validators I can say with finality that name processing is very hard, and I suspect may be an NP Complete problem to get 100% correct.

A new phishing technique using Chrome's Application Mode feature allows threat actors to display local login forms that appear as desktop applications, making it easier to steal credentials. Because we never do learn

A global survey of 600 C-level executives conducted by CloudBees found that when it comes to building software, more than three-quarters of respondents said it is more important to be secure and compliant than fast and compliant. And anything for the annual bonus
I have the strong feeling this is "response bias" in action - where they respond with the desired result, not how they'd really react.

From "The Mikado":
Koko: It’s like this: When your Majesty says, ‘Let a thing be done,’ it’s as good as done – practically, it is done – because your Majesty’s will is law. Your Majesty says, ‘Kill a gentleman,’ and a gentleman is told off to be killed. Consequently, that gentleman is as good as dead – practically, he is dead – and if he is dead, why not say so?
Mikado: I see. Nothing could possibly be more satisfactory!

Kardashian touted EthereumMax on Instagram without revealing she was paid $250,000. You had me at "never listen to 'celebrities'"
I hope the only time I ever have to type that name here

I thought she was going to get a law degree. Maybe she hasn't got to that class yet.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

She has the degree... now she's trying to pass the CA bar exam.

Google Japan has a history of joke keyboard concepts that challenge common notions of computing input. The latest concept, the Gboard Stick Version, places every key in the same row, so hunting and pecking can take a more linear approach. No more hunting and pecking, now hiking and seeking

If they are shelling out money for implementing joke concepts now, I've got a few...

Doesn't go far enough, should have had 2 keys for each letter that way you don't need the shift key.
Pianists might not mind the thing though. Which fuels the imagination, Liberace typing a letter or Jerry Lee Lewis.

I have to say that that might not be such a bad idea, in the right implementation.
I'm off to patent it. What do you mean, you thought of it first?
