Microsoft Pulls Then Re-Issues Windows 11 Preview Update.  Also Begins Force-Updating Windows 11

Nine days ago Microsoft released a non-security "preview" update for Windows 11 — not mandatory for the average Windows user, notes ZDNet, "but rather as optional, more for IT admins and power users who want to test them."
TechRepublic adds that the update "was to bring 'production-ready improvements' and generally ensure system stability by optimizing different Windows services." So it's ironic that some (but not all) users reported instead that the update "blocks users at the door, refusing to install o

«Теплый» и «объемный» звук по кабелю за $4000 и $7 — есть ли разница? Аудиофильский тест

В мире аудиотехники уже давно сложилась традиция: чем дороже аксессуар, тем больше ожиданий от него. Энтузиасты готовы выкладывать кругленькие суммы за кабели, обещающие «чистейший сигнал», «теплый звук» и «глубину сцены». При этом простые бюджетные компоненты из магазина часто вызывают у аудиофилов снисходительные улыбки. Такие споры не утихают годами, потому что затрагивают сразу и физику, и психологию восприятия. Недавно один из гиков решил поставить точку в этой дискуссии. Он взял interconnect... Read more

There is a specific kind of couple that fights about dishes, laundry, and thermostat settings for fifteen years before one of them finally says the real sentence, which is: I need to know that you see what I do without me having to build a case for it every time.

Couples fight about dishes, laundry, and thermostat settings for years because the real sentence underneath — 'I need to know you see what I do without me having to prove it every time' — feels too vulnerable to say out loud. The surface conflict is never the real conflict. Read more

Jupiter's Lightning May Have the Force of Nuclear Weapons

How powerful is Jupiter's lightning? Thick clouds cover the view, notes Science magazine. But using an instrument on NASA's Juno spacecraft (orbiting Jupiter for the past decade), researchers determined Jupiter's lightning bolts are 100 to 10,000 times more energetic than earth's: A single bolt of lightning on Earth releases about 1 billion joules of energy. That means the most extreme bolts of jovian lightning carry 10 trillion joules of energy,... Read more
