The European Union has published new guidelines on developing ethical AI Just like the EU {/sarcasm} and :eyeroll:
Not an attempt at Soapboxing, I just find the EU government opaque, but that might be because I'm not in it.
Mind you, I find the Canadian government kind of opaque as well.
Dang. I am in Soapbox territory, aren't I?
Sorry.

Well, you currently have a choice of two types of governmental behaviour, which are in diametric opposition:
0. One that acts a bit like a nanny to the general populace, and tries to make sure that corporations don't do whatever the F*** they like to people with whatever they can get their hands on.
1. One that's like the one with a certain person living in a certain-coloured house.
I know which I prefer.

Hm.
You mean, like, epicness and any sign of a battle?
You might be on to something, there.

Well, of course!
Delayed write was a bloody good idea, but good ideas are not The Way of the Future!

Um... yeh.
That's about the most important stuff that people do at work, isn't it?
It's like hollywood, where they believe that all anyone ever does at work is pitch ideas.

I'm a bit confused here. Did MS re-enable cached writes at some point? I though they disabled them by default on USB devices way back when either vista or W7 launched...
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

The software giant is releasing its Canary and Developer builds, offering daily or weekly updates to the changes that are coming to Edge. Because you can never have enough browsers to test for compatibility

It's "based" on Chromium, which is kinda like when a movie claims it's "based on real events".
Micorosft will most assuredly give itself plenty of headroom to fail miserably.

Recently, the PowerShell Team shipped the Generally Available (GA) release of PowerShell Core 6.2. Since that release, we’ve already begun work on the next iteration! Because v6 wasn't an upgrade for v5, but v7 will replace both. Hurrah.
Imagine that - a Microsoft product with a confusing version history.

At work, the security nazis recently took away our permissions to run Powershell. :/

??? Was there a justification? Or was it the usual, "There are people sending scripts via email and doofuses are clicking on them. So, no one has anything that can do stuff."?

The reason is "classified", which is another way of telling us that "you'll take it, and you'll like it". The least they could do was gives us a cigarette to smoke after bending us over the barrel like that...

Instead, the S/360 proved to be the most successful product launch ever and changed the course of computing I guess that would have been too much to ask for?

God forbid that gender-as-f***ing-neutral-as-it-gets AIs should not go on lgbt* marches, on legs that AIs don't have, or that any ethical body should dare to say that a web-site shouldn't make money out of killing people.

A HTML standard called hyperlink auditing that allows sites to track link clicks is enabled by default on Safari, Chrome, Opera, and Microsoft Edge, but will soon have no way to disable it. As it is considered a privacy risk, browsers previously allowed you to disable this feature. Now they are going in the opposite direction. "Ah, I see you have the machine that goes 'ping!'.
