I'm readingg Book 2 of the Shadows of Apt series by Adrian Tchaikovsky. It's titled Dragonfly Falling. I enjoyed the first and so far am enjoying the second of the series. I also own the third. Looking at his website apparently there's a fouth out now and very soon a fifth. He's currently writing the 7th book.

It's fantasy so a lot of you might not like it, but it's got an interesting take on humans and is quite well written. The writing style reminds me of Brent Weeks

Just finishing off TP's Fifth Elephant

Then I'll be starting Unseen Academicals (also by TP).

Oh good, more Discworld novels for me to read. I'll have to check the Toronto Public Library's website and put a order in. The last book reminds me of the Lost Continent (the professor/orangutan).

Fifth Elephant is an old one, but Unseen Acedemicals came out just before Christmas. The last Discworld book before UA was The Wintersmith last year, with a non-Discworld book in between called Nation which was okay...

I just finished off Dexter in the Dark and have started on Dexter by Design.

I believe this is my favorite book series I've come across so far. Hopefully Lindsay finishes the fifth book soon.

    • Microsoft resumes forced Copilot app installation on some Windows PCs

      By ad47uk · Posted

      I have disabled it, but the app is still taking space. I have a Mac and it is only possible to disable Ai on that, but I think that bit does get rid of the AI components after a while. What we are told is that we agree to all this when we use the devices as it is in the end user agreements, their software, they can do what they like. I doubt that any bill will happen in the U.S, the government there are in league with big tech firms. The E.U maybe, they seem to have some guts when it comes to tech companies. The U.K is not in the E.U, but some things still affect us. Our government is as gutless when it comes to tech companies as the U.s government.

A major compiler is used for both x86/x64 and WoA64 architectures. This also means that all core libraries are re-compiled accordingly which required some changes in the build scripts. One of the core libraries (cURL) has been updated to address vulnerabilities and a nasty linker error that was causing the need for a dedicated patch which could now be eliminated.
