Yep, same here. I've closed accounts folks opened with my email address, sent replies to humans confused why I haven't shown up to an appointment, etc. I just can't stop the flow of emails from these folks using my email addr

The simpler version is that Microsoft Authenticator--a mobile app that provides 2FA--is discontinuing its password autofill feature and the passwords stored/used with that will be wiped in August unless action is taken, as has been com

The GAO wrote a report on fraud, waste, and abuse potential of Energy Star in 2010. They were able to get a gas-powered alarm clock (and 14 other fake products) marked as Energy Star compliant. Worth a read/laugh. https://ww

Yep, I stopped using Samsung products not too long ago. Reminds me of the time when a Samsung VP (or whatever his title was) showed up at a Microsoft Build conference to promote their TVs and the shiny new Tizen .NET Framework that shipped

Very cool and a great speaker. Forgive my naivete but would enclosing the back with a short-throw projector reintroduce the LCD light bleed he fought hard to eliminate? I wonder how you would address that. I suspect painting the interior Ve

On Windows 11, open the Microsoft Store app and select the Entertainment section, (confusingly) marked by a clapperboard icon. You'll notice an unfortunate design choice where the text labels disappear upon clicking, making navigation

My wife and I are working through this book, and while I see its value and plan to finish it, I've found it (thus far) a bit underwhelming. It feels like a collection of Jupyter notebooks stitched together with a loosely edited narrati

Seems like a good tool for ensuring everyone is aligned. Nit: The policy document seems inconsistent in its authoritative tone. In some sections, it hand-waves and punts to an external resource. For example: "Yes, there are key kernel

NVIDIA GPUs still require "dummy" HDMI plugs. They won't be fully usable without something plugged in; it's not clear why.

Tangentially related, previous releases of the game were also hit by a DirectInput device enumeration regression that Microsoft (behind the scenes) refused to fix. (I haven't checked the latest re-release.) https://github.co

With Rust's support for inline assembly, I suspect this could quickly devolve into a competition to create the most optimized assembly code specifically tailored to the runner platform. Perhaps next year, the contest could exclude inli

Tangent; you reminded me about the Robitussin liquid (Dextromethorphan) in my pantry. It prescribes 20 mL doses but the bottle contains 118 mL total. Really grinds my gears this is legal.

Not sure what release he's referring to (NTSUR isn't the name of a release). But I find it interesting he decides to only do his homework after the video/discussion.

The reality is Dave Plummer was called out again after incorrectly claiming Start Menu drew text sideways, that he built the entire menu, etc and was forced to backpedal when presented with evidence to the contrary. (He even revised the You
