I can certainly relate to this. I spoke with the hiring manager of a new role for which I ticked all the boxes in terms of the sort of skills and qualifications needed. I'm talking years of relevant experience with the hiring manager a

Application Verifier can help detect handle leaks afaik. Honestly, an amazing tool when you have a situation that calls for it.

No, once 20H1 was released it got cut into its own release branch. 20H2, 21H1 and 21H2 are all just updates on top of that branch. You can tell because their build numbers are all 1904x. Windows 11 is based on the mainline branch after the

I don't know if they updated this yet, but one location this was evident was on Linux. During a Teams call, if you looked at the applications using pulseaudio, Teams would show up as Skype.

There are products already shipped that run fuchsia afaik.

Yea, there are tons of old drivers that rely on the older WavePci or WaveCyclic interfaces instead of the newer WaveRT model.
