Microsoft loosened the kernel driver requirements to allow anyone to register as a boot driver as long as a CA digitally signs them. Microsoft asserts that this was done at the EU's behest. They could tighten the driver requirement for the RoW, but that would lock Crowdstrike out and likely trigger antitrust concerns again.

If Microsoft had their way, I imagine they would require verification through their driver lab that does this for a living (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/i...)

I'm surprised people aren't bringing up the "original" Sphere. Vegas had an Omnimax dome 45 years ago! I have fond memories of it as a kid. The entire theater was comprised of speakers on which spherical movies were projected. It's a shame it never got more traction.

American social media is already banned in China. TikTok is also banned in China in favor of the state-controlled Douyin.

I had the same question.

Most YC founders seem to be new college graduates instead of seasoned FAANG folks. I'm in the latter camp and believe I'm better off leveraging my connections because I've aged out of YC.

WeWork pushed incumbents like Regus to simplify the onboarding process.

In the olden days, getting a Regus desk required an office tour appointment, followed by paperwork. Now they have an app, and nobody needs to send or receive a PDF.

Is there anything to indicate this is a trustworthy application? This is a closed-source binary, which has carte blanche access once you click "Yes" on the UAC prompt.

You weren't kidding about Microsoft having trouble with naming.

The original name for .NET was Next Generation Windows Service (NGWS), and before that it was Project 42.

And then the first .NET tutorial site we built was called GotDotNet.com. Engineers didn't get a say in the name.

Source: I was a SWE (SDE) in the .NET Framework team in 2000.

The gaming machines are all networked Windows PCs with payout odds that are controlled by group, which can be defined into sections as small as twelve machines. (The exact number may have changed in the past decade.)

NGCB (Nev. Gaming Control Board) does regular on-site audits of the machines and the central configurations to ensure that they are compliant.
