> Windows touches more people’s lives than almost any technology on Earth. Every day, we hear from the community about how you experience Windows. And over the past several months, the team and I have spent a great deal of time analyzing your feedback. What came through was the voice of people who care deeply about Windows and want it to be better.

They are not even acknowledging that feedback is negative. They make it sound like a love fest where users love windows so much that they want to make it even better.

There’s a typo in the article: “deos” -> “does”. How did I do?
Would you recommend that book?

Are they enabled in production? Are there some expensive ones that aren’t?

Sounds even more confrontational.

Interesting how people keep calling it “the Chinese export ban”. Isn’t an American export ban?

I didn’t quite understand the need for an injection attack. Once you had bought the domain and could respond to the devices‘ API calls, weren’t you in the driving seat already?
