Come on @microsoft.com , I have no reason to replace this perfectly good PC, that I use for #VisualStudio development. Why can't you continue to provide an Operating system that supports it?

Small picture filled with random white and black pixels.

Warning AI are inserting data inside our images for unknown purpose?

They are not?
I am pretty sure that Fahrenheit was when I was a kid.
And that I read 1984 because it was in 1984

I think it is amazing how accurately It would be possible to predict my score at an Othello game just by looking at my opponent rating score
