Signalling is dishonest
When Apple, Microsoft and a host of other companies this summer announced that they would rename a number of coding terms, as they were considered “oppressive metaphors“, I actually got angry. Firstly, the renaming is based on a false premise, … Continue reading

Thank you, Microsoft
That was sarcastic. Today I ended up doing a Windows Update on my work PC, running Windows 10. For some reason this ended with me losing all the work I had in my documents folder, until I could recover it … Continue reading
Listening in on other people’s children
Since apparently someone still thinks this is news, here we go again: Microsoft had third parties listening* in on Xbox recordings, sometimes of children and sometimes of recordings that had been made by mistake. I’ll repeat: Any internet connected camera … Continue reading

Nagware
Jeg kom til at begå den fejl at “reservere” en Windows 10 til min computer, hvilket betyder at den nu er begyndt at prøve at installere opgraderingen. Det er umådeligt svært at få Microsofts opgradering til at stoppe, end ikke når … Continue reading
Windows 10 og sikkerhed
Jeg har ikke Windows 10, jeg har ikke installeret nogen pre-release versioner og selvom jeg jo nok ender med at bruge det, så bliver jeg heller ikke en af de første brugere. Men til alle andre så vil jeg godt … Continue reading
