It’s like they suddenly realized that “data center leased to Oracle” but financed by them and owned by a no-name company with no assets and considerable liabilities is a bad idea.

Also, would not be surprised to find the company is a shell company and after the finance and legal teams are paid, the income shifts back through shell companies to the parent company, which is somehow Oracle, but with no legal responsibility to the lenders or municipality.

Even if my supposition is not accurate, just the first statement should have stopped them cold.

For one, the sources claim that the Start menu is getting a full rewrite in WinUI 3, which will make it 60% more responsive and notably more customizable.

Customizable for whom?
Users? Advertisers?

And just like everything since windows xp, it’s a an iterative change from the last version with arbitrary things that are broken and only about 3/4 of the way through the product’s life do the features improve to the around the level of promise that was initially made, save for the stuff that’s been removed or intentionally broken to stifle interoperability, or stuffed with advertising.

I don’t think they know you run your own instance.

It looks like someone tried to make Tom Cruise look like Val Kilmer.

Maybe if we see an era of AI reducing people’s individuality and throwing them all into an uncanny valley of blended-together appearances, we’ll wind up with a resurgence of interest in actors with atypical features.

“We have poor customer data safeguards, confidently present subpar work as acceptable, and have failed to adequately train our intended users but would like you to believe it’s all the users fault.”

My IT department puts anything capable of storing data into a chipper when its time has come. The guys who load the trucks will throw laptops like frisbees into the steel cage that they lock the devices in between the office and the shredder.

They probably wouldn’t care if you gave your laptop a tattoo or even a piercing.

Humans are social animals. If you can’t rizz your bosses to promote you and your coworkers to help you, then you’re stuck and alone.

Gluing hooks to their foreheads sounds like something that budget cosplayer would do to make a Loki costume.
