...truly, finally kill off Internet Explorer...
...on most versions of Windows 10...
Weird. That's not what I thought 'truly, finally' meant.

The announcement was written by the same people that do the progress bar updates

Bad news for enterprise intranet web applications that have to be run on IE because IE supports ActiveX controls. Not easy to rewrite those ActiveX controls in HTML5 and protect the IP because Javascript is easily reverse-engineered.

... except that Edge's IE mode will be maintained until at least 2029, the trident engine is still being maintained for apps with embedded IE11, and LTS versions of W10 (for quasi-embedded systems that aren't allowed to change after release) will keep IE11.
But yeah, if you run a normal version of W10, the IE11 icon will be removed from your desktop/start menu and you won't be able to run it by going to the exe and double clicking on it.

I recently purchased a code signing certificate, and the company says that you MUST use IE to retrieve the certificate because the other browsers do not support what's necessary to generate the keys for the certificate.
I don't know what they will do.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

I shot the browser, but I didn't shoot the IT guy
All around in my home page
They're trying to track my IP
They say they want to bring me in guilty
For the killing of an IT guy
For the life of an IT guy, but I say
I shot the browser, but I swear it was in spam-defense
I shot the browser, and they say it is a capital offense
Browser IE always hated me
For what I didn't search
Every time that I grok the code
It said, "Time out before it loads"
It said, "Time out before it loads," I say
I shot the browser, but I swear it was in spam-defense
I shot the browser, but I swear it was in spam-defense
Firefox came my way one day
And I started the download
All of a sudden I see "secure" Browser IE
Aiming to shut me down
So I shut, I shut him down, I say
I shot the browser, but I didn't shoot the IT guy
I shot the browser, but I didn't shoot the IT guy
Web surfing got the better of me
And what is to be must be
Every day the search goes to the web
But one day the bandwidth will drop out
Yes, one day the bandwidth will drop out, but I say
I shot the browser, but I didn't shoot the IT guy, oh no
I shot the browser, but I didn't shoot the IT guy, oh no

As much as video-calling technologies like Facetime and Zoom have helped the world stay connected over the past year, they’ve also demonstrated their severe limitations, as it’s hard to feel emotionally connected to someone through a low-quality video feed. Have they cancelled it yet?

Free-to-use s**t that lets them make 3d models of the population?
There's no way they're cancelling that yet.

Oh. Ick. I didn’t make that connection.  Yeah, they’ll keep this going.

Hmmmm. I've got a bit (enough!) of an idea what you're driving at. I hadn't thought of that.
Yesterday, I was out with someone buying some sheepskin slippers. At one point of the interaction
I said that if Jule was to get the peach-coloured pair, that she'd be like a pig in the brown stuff.
 Immediately, the sales girl mouthed a frown. Undisturbed, I laughed and said I was talking about mud..
Hehe, that's twice in a couple of days.

let me know when the cancel this lol...

Couldn't hurt. But what would make a new job compelling isn't a huge pay raise, crazy fast dev hardware, or awesome perks (although they would be highly appreciated); but sane management, reasonable customers, and less all around BS.

According to data cited from SlashData, Flutter is now the most popular cross-platform development framework, with 45% of cross-platform developers choosing to use it. Now with even more fluttering
Oh good - Flutter for UWP, just as Microsoft is moving away from it.

In this article, we’re going to look at how different groups of Windows developers will be able to adopt Project Reunion. We’ll also look at how Project Reunion, coupled with the Uno Platform, can be used to extend a Windows application across iOS, macOS, Android, Web, and even Linux. "Future events such as these will affect you in the future."
