Their problem solutions will continue to solve their problems. Nothing will abruptly stop. Nothing will stop at all, if we are talking about Windows applications in use for solving problems for users. Besides: The end of W10 support does not automatically lead to the availability of tens of thousands of Linux applications ready to solve the problems that the Windows applications handled. Even if OS support ends, software houses will continue giving application support. Users will continue using their W10 machines until one of their primary applications, one that their business (or private life) is critically dependent on, comes in a new revision with extensions absolutely required by the user, and this new application version is not available for Windows 10. Software houses may be using W11+ functionality, but not for many years will they unconditionally require W11+. Maybe in one case, or four, but not in the other ten thousands. That didn't happen with any previous Windows (or other OS) revision; it won't happen this time. I am not aware that any of the applications I use cannot be run under Windows 7. If my problems are solved to my satisfaction by my current set of applications, it is highly unlikely that there will come an application revision so fundamental to me that I cannot continue without it. If that is the case, getting a W11+ machine is a viable option. It is probably far less risky than going to another OS, and, at the same time, to a completely new set of applications for all my tasks, crossing my fingers that they cover all my tasks, with all the functionality of the Windows versions of all the applications - including that new functionality that I critically depend on, the one that made me abandon the W10 application suite. Most users use PCs primarily to solve problems. Not to run an OS. Religious freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make five.

Found the issue. For anyone who runs across this or similar problem with an HTTP-Triggered Azure function in the future it may be because you are running the function in isolated worker mode. If so you must change the footprint of the function to look for an HttpRequestData object rather than an HttpRequest object in the Run parameters and return a HttpResponseData object like this: [Function(nameof(myHttpTriggeredFunction))] public static HttpResponseData Run([HttpTrigger(AuthorizationLevel.Anonymous, "post")] HttpRequestData req, FunctionContext executionContext) { // processing code here } There are no solutions, only trade-offs.    - Thomas Sowell A day can really slip by when you're deliberately avoiding what you're supposed to do.    - Calvin (Bill Watterson, Calvin & Hobbes)

In my opinion you can definitely host a non-Open API on Azure without implementing OpenAPI specifications. Azure is flexible and allows you to deploy various types of APIs.

That's nothing. After a hurricane a few years ago, I woke in the night to the sound of my dog swimming around the bedroom. Shorted out the battery in my wheelchair, so I was stuck in bed until someone happened to look in. Ended up replacing all of the wood floors and lost two lower shelves of books and notes and a file cabinet withall of my important documents, like the house title, diplomas and ten years of business papers. Also had to move out for six weeks while repairs were made, basically redoing the entire interior of the house. It only cost me $15,000. I've had better days. CQ de W5ALT Walt Fair, Jr.PhD P. E.

That makes the whole situation even more confusing then... because if that's not the case then you're not using an DNS server at all. Yes, DNS supports a hosts file as part of the protocol but that's not the same thing as a server... which means every config is on a per machine basis. Guessing this is your first time doing this? When I find myself overwhelmed I usually start again from scratch and take it one step at a time while ensuring every step along the way is working and verified. Perhaps that'll help? Jeremy Falcon

And then people told we were wrong when we said that if it is in the cloud it doesn't belong to you anymore. M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I read them so quickly (generally one day each) that I barely remember anything about them. I do recall "The Secret" having a decent premise, but I don't recall the premise of "No Plan B". I consider them all about the same as far as quality goes. The ones with sex scenes are better of course. I am astounded that the author has come up with so many interesting premises and followed them through. But I also get sidetracked by the clumsiness some of the details. And I don't like that Jack doesn't stick around to clean up the mess.

If you think that Google always, without exception, provides useful, easily understandable guidance for a person who is new to a problem area, then you have only asked Google to be reminded of answers you already know. I have several times done serious attempts at deciphering hieroglyph explanations provided by Google, without success. Even if I tell about my googling efforts, I have had people yell back to me "Why don't you just f*** google it???" To satisfy that kind of "helpers", I would have to spend twice as much space on all details of my googling as on explaining the problem. And honestly: I believe that those spending energy on shouting "Google it!" would never spend energy on providing truly helpful assistance. When, in meatspace, I ask coworkers or friends for help with something, some information I need, they never yell back at me: "Google it!" They treat me as a friend in need of help, not as a misbehaved child. Religious freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make five.

Another nighttime story ... In 1983 (*), I started working in a company developing an X.400 system. Testing interaction with other systems was essential, so those of us who kept up old contacts at our alma mater was welcome to keep in X.400 contact with them - the University ran a different X.400 implementation. The underlaying network wasn't perfectly stable, so every now and then, messages didn't make it. One day we had a huge rush of incoming messages, some of them months old. All the missing ones were there. Where had they hidden in the weeks before? It took a while before we found an explanation. When the University mail system failed delivery, it was configured to make a new try later - at midnight. At our company, a raw disc offline backup copy was made every day, or rather: every night, starting at midnight. So when the MTA at the U made another attempt at midnight, night after night, our mail machine was just taken down for backup. One evening, our mail machine had a total crash. As it was already down, the operators decided to make the backup a couple hours early. The machine was back on air before midnight, ready to receive all the failing messages for months from the university. It took yet a couple days before anyone connected the early backup to the rush of emails, but when someone suggested it, the connection was obvious. (*) Some people claim that while internet protocols are based on real experience, real testing, OSI standards are just paperwork that never works in practice. That is of course far from truth. This was in 1983, a year before the fist official X.400 standard was passed. There were (at least) two complete, independent implementations available for testing. But, being ahead of time can be costly. My company obviously based the implementation on working drafts. For a couple years, the drafts for the directory functions (then still part of X.400 - later to be split off as X.500) was quite stable, the implementation was based on that. A few months before the finalizing of the official standard, a major part of the directory drafts was ditched, and another alternative pulled in. My company had to do a huge crash job to implement the other alternative, the one in the final standard. (Obviously, proponents of this other alternative were from companies who had a running implementation of that alternative ready. In order to be competitive, my company had to offer the standard solution as soon as possible, not something of their own, before the competition took over the mar

Me thinks UniSuper will be shopping for another cloud provider.

Don't know if you're serious, but done that for my aunt that absolutely despises windows 10/11 ad ridden games. If you are serious, look at win7games.com, it has an installer for the old games that works in win 10/11. The only caveat I found is that windows update sometimes deletes the games and it needs a reinstall :)
