The title is quite sensational compared to the content. They only added an AI Rewrite feature for notepad that requires a Microsoft 365 subscription. Considering the cost of AI, and the fact that it will very probably run in the cloud, it is very reasonable that it isn’t free. Everything else about notepad remains free / included with the price you paid for the OS.

Correct! The translation is fine, except that “fan” was interpreted as the device that moves air.

DocFx could do what you’re looking for. You would write your stuff in markdown and it generates an interactive and customizable site.

As others have already said, that is a lot of pasta. If you regularly cook volumes like that, it would really make sense to invest in a large pot as well. A cheap 10l pot will do just fine for boiling pasta, and it sounds like you would get plenty of use out of it.

Do you cook your pasta in a large pot, with plenty of boiling water, and a good amount of salt? Usually I just stir once just after putting the pasta in, and I never have noodles sticking together.

That is what I remember too.

1. Bilbo meets Gollum in The Hobbit
2. Gandalf gets suspicious and sends Aragorn to capture Gollum
3. Gollum gets captured and imprisoned with the Elves
4. Gollum escapes
5. Gollum reappears during The Fellowship of the Ring

we think you’d be best with a bigger team with a better support network

Sounds like they think you’re not independent enough for the position. If it is a small team, they might need someone who can immediately start being productive, while they think you will need more coaching to get up to speed.

No need to drag any disabilities into this.

Am I missing something? I thought the outage was caused by CrowdStrike and had nothing to do with Microsoft or Windows?

That’s really useful to know. Thank you for sharing!

You couldn’t really do that with beer, because beer is typically carbonated and thus you’ll need a very strong bag inside of the box. So strong that you’ll end up with a can or bottle.

It would also be very hard to compete with products that are this mature. Linux, Windows, and macOS have been under development for a long time, with a lot of people. If you create a new OS, people will inevitably compare your new immature product with those mature products. If you had the same resources and time, then maybe your new OS would beat them, but you don’t. So at launch you will have less optimizations, features, security audits, compatibility, etc., and few people would actually consider using your OS.

Bing is managing hilarious malicious compliance!

I’m in IT in the financial industry. There is indeed still a ton of COBOL around.

It is correct, because ‘nothing’ is indeed written in stone!

One of the arguments that gets used is that the employees should look neutral. For example, if you want to get your gender changed you might not be comfortable with someone who is visibly associated with a religion that disproves of gender changes.

Are sd card slots cheaper than 128 GB of flash storage chips? I’m not sure, but yes, probably. You would also need to factor in the additional complexity of allowing physical access to the slot, which would take some additional designing and a few more components. The sd card itself will probably be a more expensive and slower than integrated flash storage. By contrast, it is probably extremely easy to just shove some flash storage chips in a phone. Still, I agree that it sounds like a worthwhile tradeoff for me.

premium phones that have SD cards, but there aren’t many options. The only one is a $1400 Xperia I V

There are other options too, like the fairphone or Galaxy A-series mentioned by others in this thread. They never disappeared, they just became less common because there is less customer demand.

If you need a phone with a lot of storage or extensible storage, you can get one. There will be a cost associated with that need, but it is not necessary to pay $1400 either. It is hardly anti-consumer to say that a lot of people don’t need this option.

What you do with your phone is your choice, and if you want to store 1 TB of pictures, audiobooks, or even porn, you should go ahead and do that. All I’m saying is that this is not a typical use case, and you can’t expect any random phone to support it. But there are phones that do, and you should get one.

It sounds like you have a very specific set of requirements that requires a specific type of premium phone. Not everybody needs 128 GB of storage eon their phone (mine only has 64). I agree that a lot of storage and SD-card slots are good features to have on phones, but the truth is that not everyone needs those. Each feature will add cost and require more resources to build, and for a lot of people not having them will work just fine.

This is great! My phone doesn’t get updates very often, but this feature is already available and was turned on by default. (Moto G31)

Wouldn’t the simplest explanation be that the left side of the bed should be lowered a little?
