Well, I guess that's one ISP everyone will want to avoid...

So, basically nothing new in Windows 11 that I want and a whole lot of things I don't.

Australis13 ,

Indeed! Covers most of the instances where I would otherwise have to use find.

I was already dubious about upgrading from 10 to 11 and this is final straw. I will have to look at Linux options and see if my Windows-only programs will run effectively under WINE.

Thanks, will do!

Good to know. I don't play many games, but do have some older ones from GoG that would be nice to keep.

Because I haven't yet updated from Windows 10 to 11 and had been putting it off. In the past week, though, I have seen a number of news articles highlighting issues I am going to have with Windows 11 and this particular article, indicating that they have been effectively leaving systems vulnerable simply because they have applications they don't like installed is just not good enough. I'd understand it if they were saying "we can't guarantee your OS stability with these apps" or "we can't guarantee these apps will work anymore" if they were removing older API support, but this is ridiculous.

Turns out one of the video-editing programs I use (VideoRedo) has shut down anyway (I think the owner passed away) and so I'll need to look for an alternative anyway - I don't think I can activate it on new machines anymore.

The BBC Won't Use AI to Promote Doctor Who Again After Being Yelled at by Fans (gizmodo.com)

The backlash was immediate, but it didn’t stop the BBC from using text generated by LLMs—and purportedly checked and copy-edited by a human before approval—in two marketing emails and mobile push notifications to advertise Doctor Who. But now, the corporation will stop the experimentation entirely after a wave of official...

Given how bad the show's writing has been for years and the declining in viewership in the Chibnell era, I'm actually surprised the BBC actually reversed course for once.

Very likely to be the physical force applied by the headphones, depending on how they are worn. I cannot use certain designs because they become uncomfortable even if only worn for short periods.

Boeing, not Spirit, mis-installed piece that blew off Alaska MAX 9 jet, industry source says (www.seattletimes.com)

Thanks for that. A very interesting read; I am inclined to believe the author, given how they describe the failure of processes.

Australis13 ,

The browser addon "AdNauseum" can help with that, although it's not a complete solution.

Australis13 ,

Indeed. I'd hardly classify this as going "rogue"; rather, inadequate guard rails in place for this application.

Australis13 ,

Ugh. If I need to collaborate with my colleagues, I'll visit their office; I don't need (or want) to hear every phone call they make or their music escaping their headphones.

I cannot stress enough how much I hate open plan offices and am so glad I do not work in one.

Multiple news articles are reporting that this aircraft had its post-production certification only two months ago. For a problem of this magnitude to develop in such a short time is very disconcerting.
