I'm sure in general Microsoft would love to scrap VB in Excel but there's too many companies that run entire areas of business on it, or the whole business itself.
It is the typical legacy/back compat problem. Python or even Powershell would be a vast improvement, but you're going against billions in sunk cost/skills/knowledge.
VB.Net was slowly losing popularity, VB in Excel isn't.
I feel like throwing everything behind a VPN and pretending it is secure is a crux.
Several famous break-ins over the last ten years have hypothetically been on the inside of that wall.
Better to isolate services from each other limiting cross service jumping, than to build security around a single point of failure.
We added an iPad and tried to purchase something, but the only card on file was long since expired and thrown away.
But in order to verify the account we had to enter the card's digits, which we did not have, and we couldn't add a new card because we hadn't verified the old one.
In other words we were stuck. Had to contact Apple support. Took several days to resolve.
I guess it is part of becoming a more professional industry. It we did add an Easter Egg it would likely need a spec, docs, owner, and code review.
They were still successfully prosecuted though. And AT&T received no punishment.
When a company says jump the USG asks how high.
It being "open source" or not kind of misses the bigger picture. If Google had any interest in AMP being a web standard they would have sent the spec out, and helped fund a neutral org to run it.
Boeing's procedure only works if you catch it quickly. If you let MCAS trim the aircraft too much it is difficult to recover, particularly at low altitude.
Have you checked your chair/table height, monitor height, and are you placing both feet on the floor? You might be able to mitigate this without buying things.
Blizzard entertainment does half client half server hashing which is rather clever, one of the few examples where client hashing makes sense.
After they were patched they've been stable as a rock and "just work." But it has felt like Microsoft shipped half baked hardware.
Plus while Windows 10 is stable, it feels like a moving target with large feature patches that also don't always feel fully baked.
In-spite of the above I really like Microsoft's hardware and oddly would recommend it. It is definitely heading in a good direction, but isn't up to the height of Apple's "just works" period (which I don't believe we're still in).

I was just posting to point out an inherent flaw with the entire concept of online glasses ordering and one I have no solution to.
I'd love to imagine a future where they can 3D scan a face and produce bespoke frames.
Positive: They nailed the prescription (perfect). The lenses were as thin as normal with the 1.67 "high-index polymer" upgrade (which is important as the prescription is bad in one eye, could result in super thick lenses). In all other respects they do what they say they do.
Negatives: We ran into an unexpected and ultimately fatal issue; even with perfect lenses and fine looking frames, my wife could not get them to sit straight or comfortably on her face. They'd slide down her nose and fall, both pairs. We bent them with pliers and a heat gun, followed the guide on Zenni's site, even had the gall to take them into an opticians (Standard Optical) and they tried adjusting them for us, no dice. This is on both pairs (sunglasses and regular). Even after our best attempts and taking them into a Standard Optical, we could not make it work.
We now have two pairs of Zenni sitting in a draw and had to spend another $180+ on just regular glasses from Costco (no sunglasses due to cost). These ones at least stay on her face. It is such an obnoxious and unusual issue to have, but two frames from two different lines of frames both didn't work for us and could not be fixed. It definitely shows the biggest problem with online glasses shopping in general, good prices, but if they don't fit your face then you're now out $170 (Plus whatever we spent at Costco after failing at Zenni).
This isn't meant to be a slam against Zenni in particular, they did what they said they'd do at a good price. This is a cautionary tale about online glasses shopping in general...
White hats and grey hats know the whole area is a minefield, and even a whiff of impropriety can bring the heel of the law down upon you. Airlines and aircraft makers both have a financial conflict of interests, discovering vulnerabilities and deploying fixes in existing aircraft could cost millions.
For NEW aircraft designs there is an incentive to discover and mitigate potential issues, but given aircraft's shelf life that might not be good enough over the long haul.
What can be done? I guess schemes like this one, that bring industry experts together with a real working aircraft and letting them try. But for political reasons even schemes like this could be unpopular if Boeing's shares take a hit and aircraft are grounded for service.
The FTC are likely pretty powerless in this situation. Only negative PR and taking your business elsewhere may assist here but given the lack of competition in this space, good luck!
Overall the number of videos that are pure ads is annoying...
Microsoft offers at least three different ways to license Windows to run on a VM in-house. Core count, instance count, or site. Are all three "ridiculous?"
None of Microsoft's license types require a certain Hyper-V capacity. In fact the whole "we were required to over-allocate Hyper-V so run Linux on the spare capacity" claim makes no sense.
People are blaming the DRM because the DRM simply exists; all the breakpoint proves is that VMProtect does what it says it does (decode sections of the game in the VM). It doesn't however prove that the DRM causes the stutter or performance issues, for all we know that could be a bug in the game's engine itself.
Hopefully time and more data will tell us for sure either way. We aren't there yet, although no lack of proof will stop the tech media from reporting on it.
You aren't allowed film in the location they filmed, the filming took place before the phone even shipped to carriers, and they released the film before the ship date. And to top it off, there's no way to claim after viewing the video that the father had no awareness; it was practically an interview.
Should Apple have fired him? I don't know. Was it a willful violation? Absolutely it was.
I'd also be interested in learning about the false positives. For example a product get turned around on the shelf or returned askew does that trigger an alert? And is that a good or bad thing?
I guess the proof will be in the pudding. If these are still in use two or three years from now then we know they were a success.
From a personal perspective I'd love these to improve me locate products within a store. Many stores still fail to tell you which shelf a product is on on their mobile app, and the few that day don't give you a map of the store showing you the literal location of it. I'd love to have a "Google Maps"-like experience with locating an item.
