Devices we worked with for a project (thankfully not on GCP) are welded shut once built. They are designed to run for years on an internal battery then need to be recycled. They wo…

Still rocking my 3770K here too - that thing is rock solid.

Much like the real world and real people, there's no guarantee that the most popular concepts will be technically correct.

I've a SurfaceBook, I didn't think I'd use the touchscreen at all when in regular "laptop" mode. I end up using it _all the time_. It really is super intuitive to just reach up and…

Project.json is getting pitched, but until the successor arrives, it's still the only way to do .Net Core dev.
