Huh? I thought NTLM had been depreciated about a decade ago. Seriously, Windows Vista and later don't use it by default.

The DuckDB team is very happy to announce that today we’re releasing DuckDB version 1.0.0, codename “Snow Duck” (anas nivis). It's up to you to decide if it's all it's quacked up to be
sorry about that
For those wondering about the point (as I was):
"DuckDB has no external dependencies, neither for compilation nor during run-time. For releases, the entire source tree of DuckDB is compiled into two files, a header and an implementation file, a so-called “amalgamation”. This greatly simplifies deployment and integration in other build processes. For building, all that is required to build DuckDB is a working C++11 compiler."

Yup. From their docs, it looks like that’s what they’re targeting to replace.

Many users use an e-mail trick to avoid creating a Microsoft account. This has now apparently been stopped by Microsoft. Of course they are (wait, have I used that recently?)

Once I move, I'll start playing with linux in my old PC.
I have been refusing it, but they are trying to piss us off way too hard

They have a fiduciary duty to chase AAPL as hard and fast as possible.
I guess that necessarily means sacrificing any bits of integrity as a matter of competition.
I still blame AAPL more.

If they get rid of OOBE\BYPASSNRO as the article suggests might be coming, that will leave me unable to install Windows 11 on my work machines. Zero, no chance, impossible to do since my machines are air-gapped systems. Hopefully someone with a big enough $tick will beat them about the head.
Be wary of strong drink. It can make you shoot at tax collectors - and miss.

I think they'll always be selling something that would do that... for the US gov't if nothing else.
I can't figure they'd tell other entities 'no' if the price is right.

I'm hoping their big enterprise customers tell them to keep OOBE\BYPASSNRO. It's critical in enterprise environments where networks are heavily locked down.

oh joy... The dullards are at it again. There is simply no purpose for an online account other than to collect data. If you as a user want to make sure of coordinated services - knock yourself out. Forcing users? I say again, air strike.

A prosthetic thumb could help us all complete more tasks, multi-task and be all-round more efficient. But do we actually need them? Two thumbs up! (on the same hand)

Rule 34 in 3, 2, 1.
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.

According to my boss 90% of my work is done with my "third thumb".

The typical compensation package for chief executives who run companies in the S&P 500 jumped nearly 13% last year, easily surpassing the gains for workers at a time when inflation was putting considerable pressure on Americans’ budgets. Happy payday!
But of course that's because they have ideas 200 times as good as their average employee

Great ideas like RTO and laying off 8000 people because the company just had their best quarter ever.
