@stuxI was instantly reminded of an episode of #PlanetMoney about the process of inventing a new pasta shape, and then getting it made. https://www.npr.org/2021/03/19/979274990/the-new-shape-of-pasta#NPR #Pasta

@CKsTechNews Do you even bother reading the articles that you post all the way to the end?"No security vendors and no sandboxes flagged this file as malicious"In your haste to complain about Defender, you missed the real significance of that story!

@itnewsbot Today is Friday, the patch was released on Tuesday. That's three days ago. Is it still a zero day flaw?Lesson: Don't rely on @itnewsbot for timely IT news.

@didek It's a $30 game that's distributed through the Microsoft Store on Windows 10/11. That's how the license is managed. So if you want to run it on Windows 10 or 11, you have to be logged into Windows with a Windows account that is licensed to used the game.You might have a philosophical disagreement with this approach, but it's effective, reliable and straightforward and it works for millions of users.

@killyourfm I'm curious why you felt it necessary to use Windows as a hashtag in this post? Do you think that many of the people who follow that hashtag are likely to be interested?

@stux @frank_bough @calculsoberic Funny, I downloaded the Win11 ISO directly from Microsoft last week to set up a VM.No TikTok or Messenger or even Candy Crush in the Windows 11 Home instance that I installed.
