Slow, outdated computers and intermittent internet connections demoralize workers, a survey of 6,000 European workers said. Leave this where the purchasing manager can find it (I'm *sure* it will work)

I know I'm demoralized and deflated everytime the network goes down/slows-down. And my 3-year-old laptop is the worst!

Microsoft today announced its intention to align the release schedules for feature updates to Windows 10 and Office 365 ProPlus. In doing so, the company confirmed that the next Windows 10 update, codenamed Redstone 3, is targeted for September, 2017. Just in time for those back-to-school OS installs
Didn't they align the two of them back with Windows 95?

Office 365 didn't exist back then... or maybe it did...

A developer has released an unofficial patch to undo Microsoft's block on updates for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 on newer silicon. And I'm sure it will never get bypassed

Google plans to introduce an ad-blocking setting in both the mobile and desktop versions of its Chrome browser, according to The Wall Street Journal. And I'm sure it will stop 100% of advertisements (that don't pay Google)

In the first known study of older adults learning computer programming, Guo outlines his reasons: People are living and working longer. Coding isn't just a young man's game

That's a good thing.
The older and more worldly are far less likely to fall for the latest crazes with such abandon (of common sense).
Present company excluded, of course (I'm sitting in the office on my own).

LinuxKit includes the tooling to allow building custom Linux subsystems that only include exactly the components the runtime platform requires. "Dogs and cats living together! Mass hysteria!"

The only problem being that the average Linux app requires about 7,389 packages and sub-packages, many of which are the same packages, but different versions.
You might as well just wipe the drive and install Linux.

Good advice! 
Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

That's what VirtualBox is for.
(I use Win10 at home with Fedora in a VirtualBox. I use CentOS at work with a Windows remote desktop. I vastly prefer the former setup.)

Facebook today unveiled a project from its secretive Building 8 research group that’s working to create a brain-computer interface that lets you type with your thoughts. I'd bet there will be a lot of non-kid sister-safe typing with that system
