Just because it is a FLA instead of a TLA, doesn't mean you don't have to define it.

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.

Of the 90 percent of UK enterprises that have been forced to turn to their backup system, only 27 percent were able to recover all of their information and documents -- down from 45 percent in 2022. And the third just has no backups
|
|
|
|
|
Wait a second...
Is that sentence saying that 90% of the UK Enterprises needed to restore backups at the beginning?

Remember that restoring from backup can be as simple as retrieving a single file or as complex as recovering a virtual server and all the virtual machines on that server.

The Visual Studio search experience is getting a new feature that allows users to find and replace text without having to worry about different casings. aT lASt!
Or maybe just use a language that isn't case-sensitive

But... will the replacement keep the given case?

Replace in Files has an ignore case checkbox. i haven't tested that with a file open in the current project, or tested of that works for both search text and file.

Sending an email with a forged address is easier than previously thought, due to flaws in the process that allows email forwarding, according to a research team led by computer scientists at the University of California San Diego. This one is really from me though. Honest!

Apple and Microsoft have argued with Brussels that some of their services are insufficiently popular to be designated as “gatekeepers” under new landmark EU legislation designed to curb the power of Big Tech. They're more 'key masters'

They should learn from google and cancel them before they get more popular

Owners of watches and fitness trackers might want to look away now: a new study has revealed that 95 percent of 20 different smartwatch wristbands tested were contaminated with bacteria capable of causing disease. And people buy them for their health?
|
|
|
|
|
Would that be different from any conventional watch band?
My guess is that those made from organic materials (mostly leather) is likely to be worse than the plastics in the smartwatch bands.
OK, OK, I know that plastic are mostly made from oil, and belongs in the 'organic chemistry' section. I still would think that leather is far worse than plastics!

My guess is that they did smartwatch bands as that's the trendy headline. But yeah, watch bands are definitely just as bad. I know mine starts growing rhubarb every once and a while, so I take a brush and sanitizer to it.
Your guess is probably right, but I could be surprised. I know a study of kitchen chopping blocks showed that the wood ones were actually better for preventing bacterial growth than the plastic ones. Could be the same for leather. /shrug.

NEWS FLASH: The entire world and everything in it is contaminated with bacteria capable of causing disease!
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

And, there are lots of chemical compounds out there! Beware!
