And when the company fails anyway because it's too late to change course, the intern is an easy scapegoat!

Oh, that's weird, that was definitely not the article I was looking at. Thanks for pointing that out, it's fixed now.

This discussion has been going on for more than a decade.

I wouldn't bet investment money on something that Intel is "reportedly considering".

There's a connection between the bacteria living in your digestive tract and your brain. The specifics of this are not fully understood yet. Your gut bacteria do a substantial amount of digestion for you, breaking down the food you eat into molecules that your intestines can absorb. The bacteria live in your intestine because they also consume some of the food that you eat. The research suggests that the bacteria can send signals to your brain that influence what you choose to eat - so that you eat things that they also eat.

Your cravings might not actually be 'yours', in a sense.

A single lap should be completed each time you hear this sound

Remember to run in a straight line

Or, they dropped out the first lap and then enjoyed sitting and watching everyone who failed the intelligence test keep running.

The thing that bugs me the most about Settings is the amount of wasted white space on every page. You have to do so much scrolling and clicking through tabs just to find various options. By comparison the dialogue boxes of the Control Panel apps are compact and concise. Every time I have to scroll down for something in Settings, I wonder why there's so much empty space padding around everything.

You'd think a multi billion dollar corporation could afford a decent UI designer or two.

I am past the point of having "a" computer with "an" operating system... the concept of "moving" to another OS is basically irrelevant... I use different environments for different purposes and there's no good reason to leave potential functional value unused for the sake of ideological convictions or fanboyism or whatever. My problems now revolve around having a useful cross-platform account that has access to my files on any/all of my platforms/VMs. I do lean heavily on open source software, I prefer it to proprietary.

More basically, an OS is not a food that you might like or dislike, it is a tool that you use when it is suited to the task. Discriminating against tools doesn't make sense, it only limits your capabilities.

Please read this older comment of mine, it explains my point of view on this more... and if you want to do something really interesting then try to implement Qubes and actually use it for awhile.

It is verbose. It's intended to be readable by untrained people, with a consistent verb-subject format for commands (e.g. Get-ChildItem, Set-Variable), though it turns out that concept doesn't scale very well and the format gets increasingly broken when you get into the Azure PowerShell commands (New-AzLoadBalancerInboundNatRuleConfig).

The real power of PowerShell is that it can interact with .NET directly (because it is .NET), which allows you to quickly and easily build scripts for anything that uses .NET (like Windows). For instance, you can view or edit registry keys of other systems through a PowerShell remote session (using the .NET RegistryKey class), and set up a loop to edit a registry key across a list of machines remotely (I used to do this while managing on-prem AD groups in my last job, it's much faster and easier than trying to change registry keys through remote desktop sessions, more reliable because it's programmatic, and you can easily log the command output and catch any systems that failed to accept the change).

PowerShell might not be what Bash is for the average Linux user, but it's a massive improvement for managing Windows systems at scale. Anyone who works in corporate IT should learn PowerShell.

Windows "god mode": https://www.howtogeek.com/402458/enable-god-mode-in-windows-10/

What is god mode?

it's simply a special folder you can enable that exposes most of Windows' admin, management, settings, and Control Panel tools in a single, easy-to-scroll-through interface

It's very easy to set this up, and it also works in Windows 11. Even if Microsoft removes access to the normal Control Panel, I seriously doubt this will be taken out.
