As long as it's a easily toogled off as the search bar is, I don't mind.

Them getting rid of the ability to have different windows of the same kind with full title bar next to each other IMHO is a much bigger pain.

Syndic ,

Have Windows users ever wanted a single thing they added since XP?

The new terminal for example is a rather neat improvement over the old command prompt, especially with the integration of Linux systems. Winget also is rather nice. Just two examples. So yeah with all the valid criticism Microsoft deserves for quite a bit of policies, I don't think your hyperbole holds up.

Revealed: a California city is training AI to spot homeless encampments (www.theguardian.com)

Last July, San Jose issued an open invitation to technology companies to mount cameras on a municipal vehicle that began periodically driving through the city’s district 10 in December, collecting footage of the streets and public spaces. The images are fed into computer vision software and used to train the companies’...

And considering that veterans are over represented in the homeless population, they actively hurt those who have served the country instead of helping them. Shameful!

Na my dude, as long it's not considered at least as unprofessional for companies to let people on the spot they can go an fuck them self.

Want a mandated notice period? Put it in contract for both parties. That's how it works in countries with sane worker laws.

Syndic ,

Not really… It is unprofessional.

When companies firing people for base reasons, i.e. reaching quarterly targets, is also universally seen as unprofessional and shunned as such, we can talk again. Until then, they deserve exactly as much courtesy as they are willing to give.

That's some pretty wild stuff you have to make up just because you have no good response. That's not even a straw man but a straw giant space monster. Sheesh dude ...

I certainly got my 30 bucks worth out of it. If I can come back in a few years and find a better game with more content then that's just a cherry on top.

    I certainly won't trust Musk even as far as I can throw him with such stuff.

    I suspect that he doesn't read dyspotic science fiction novels as cautionary tale but as an instruction booklet.

    Frankly that's nothing. In the worst case a train won't start, which for DB really isn't something unusual. It's far more disturbing how the whole global financial market sometimes rely on code that's still written in COBOL.

    Syndic ,

    Sure, but how likely is this in this specific scenario. We're talking about a system that's not even directly controlling the train but just a display on it. The worst that can happen is that those displays won't work until the system is reinstalled. That's hardly a lucrative target for modern hackers. There's way easier target which are worth something.

    Well it matters when it comes to replacing ageing programmers with very few options available. It's definitely not something taught in schools today, so one has to be very deliberately learn it.

    Don't get me wrong, you can make a lot of money in such a position. But you also have to deal with COBOL.
