Users find it very difficult to restart Windows

Dear ketat2 gentlemen and ladies, boys n girls, gays n trans...

Do you experience difficulties with pending Windows updates slowing down your PC?

I always hear people say, "I never have this experience in my previous companies."

How can that be??? Windows updates is managed automatically by Microsoft. There is no longer a dedicated resource qualifying updates in WSUS for the PCs and Servers. I feel gaslighted.

Even the old laptop which I use for my TV in the living room have to reboot whenever it lags and slow. My super computer for my other uses also have to restart regularly.

Users complain why have to keep restarting the Windows?? Can we make it NEVER required to restart? Why is this an issue in recent years??

How you manage this "issue"? Do you have difficulty restarting Windows?

Windows' C & C++ code to be replaced with Rust

Taikor.Taikun — Thu, 08 Jan 2026 18:59:09 +0800

Windows won’t be rewritten in Rust using AI, according to a senior Microsoft engineer, but the company still has bold plans for embracing the popular programming language.

Microsoft plans to replace C and C++ with Rust within the next five years as part of a major engineering modernization project – but a senior company figure insists AI won’t be doing the heavy lifting after a social media backlash.

In a post on LinkedIn advertising a job opening last week, Galen Hunt, Distinguished Engineer at Microsoft, said the tech giant plans to “eliminate every line of C and C++ from Microsoft by 2030”.

The scale of the project here is significant, with Hunt suggesting that developers will be working toward refactoring upwards of one million lines of code on a monthly basis.

“Our North Star is ‘1 engineer, 1 month, 1 million lines of code’,” Hunt wrote. “To accomplish this previously unimaginable task, we’ve built a powerful code processing infrastructure. Our algorithmic infrastructure creates a scalable graph over source code at scale.”

“Our AI processing infrastructure then enables us to apply AI agents, guided by algorithms, to make code modifications at scale,” he added. “The core of this infrastructure is already operating at scale on problems such as code understanding.”

The move from Microsoft marks the latest in its shift to the Rust programming language in recent years. In 2022, David Weston, corporate VP for OS security and enterprise at Microsoft, revealed the company was investing around $10 million in Rust to make it the company's "1st class language" for engineering systems.

As ITPro reported back in 2023, the company made a significant leap on this front with the introduction of Rust-based kernel features on Windows as part of the Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 25905.

Progress has continued at pace in the intervening years. During a keynote presentation at RustCon 2025 in September, Azure CTO Mark Russinovich detailed the company’s efforts to embrace Rust, per reports from The New Stack.

Microsoft's Rust project courts controversy

Initially, Hunt hinted at the use of AI in helping Microsoft deliver on the goal of rewriting some of the company’s largest codebases.

The suggestion tracks with how the tech giant is using the technology in software development over the last two years. In May this year, CEO Satya Nadella revealed up to 30% of the company’s code is now written by AI.

However, Hunt’s comments appear to have courted controversy, prompting an edit on the original post to clarify that “Windows is *NOT* being rewritten in Rust with AI”.

Hunt insisted this is a research project aimed at “building tech to make migration from language to language possible”.

“The intent of my post was to find like-minded engineers to join us on the next stage of this multi-year endeavor—not to set a new strategy for Windows 11+ or to imply that Rust is an endpoint,” he wrote.

Rust is in vogue

Microsoft isn’t the only company making the shift to Rust. Last year, Lars Bergstrom, director of engineering at Google’s Android team, said developer teams embracing the programming language have unlocked marked productivity and efficiency benefits.

A 2024 project from DARPA also saw the US government agency announce plans on this front, this time actually using AI tools to translate C code to Rust.

A key factor behind the shift to Rust lies in security. Popular languages such as C and C++ have suffered from recurring security-related issues, making them vulnerable to bugs due to how they use memory.

These ‘memory-safety vulnerabilities’ have become a frequent pain point for enterprise security teams and developers alike, and have caught the attention of security agencies on both sides of the Atlantic.

In 2022, the US National Security Agency (NSA) urged organisations to shift to memory-safe programming languages, such as Rust, Python, or Java. More recent guidance from the NSA and CISA, meanwhile, once again urged devs to make the shift.

Scambodia midget extradited to China

Taikor.Taikun — Thu, 08 Jan 2026 10:21:46 +0800

QUOTE

Cambodia says it has extradited to China a billionaire businessman accused of masterminding a vast cryptocurrency scam in which trafficked workers were lured to forced labour camps to defraud victims globally.

Chen Zhi was among three Chinese nationals arrested on 6 January after a joint investigation into transnational crime lasting several months, Cambodia said.

The US charged the 37-year-old, who was born in south-east China, last October with running internet scams from Cambodia that it said had stolen billions in cryptocurrency.

The US Treasury Department seized about $14bn (£10.4bn) worth of bitcoin it alleged belonged to him. The UK also sanctioned his global business empire, Prince Group.

US prosecutors said it was one the biggest financial takedowns in history and the largest ever seizure of bitcoin.

...

But on Wednesday, the Cambodian authorities said they had "arrested three Chinese nationals namely Chen Zhi, Xu Ji Liang, and Shao Ji Hui and extradited [them] to the People's Republic of China". The interior ministry statement did not say where Chen Zhi had been detained.

His Cambodian nationality had been revoked by royal decree last month, it added. The enigmatic tycoon had given up his Chinese nationality to become a Cambodian citizen in 2014.

The UN estimates that hundreds of thousands of people have been trafficked to South East Asia, many of them to Cambodia, lured by the promise of legitimate jobs and then forced to run online scams.

People are held against their will in the scam farms and made to defraud strangers online under the threat of punishment or torture. Many of those trapped are Chinese and targeted people in China.

Chinese authorities have also been quietly investigating the Prince Group since at least 2020. The company is accused of running online fraud schemes in a number of court cases.

The Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau established a task force to investigate the Prince Group, describing it as "a major transnational online gambling syndicate based in Cambodia".

Cambodia's ruling elite have been close to Chen Zhi for years. The government has said little since the US and UK sanctioned Prince Group, apart from urging US and UK authorities to be sure they had sufficient evidence for their allegations.

By some estimates, scam businesses may account for around half of the entire Cambodian economy.

"I think it's the sheer scale of his operations which really makes Chen Zhi stand out," Jack Adamovic Davies, a journalist who has investigated Chen Zhi, told the BBC last year.

He said it was shocking the Prince Group had been able to build a "global footprint" without raising alarm bells, given the serious criminal charges it now faces.

CCTV mandatory in JB

Taikor.Taikun — Wed, 07 Jan 2026 08:30:19 +0800

QUOTE

IT IS now mandatory for ground-floor commercial premises within the purview of the Johor Baru City Council (MBJB) to instal no fewer than three closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras for safety.

Johor Baru mayor Datuk Mohd Haffiz Ahmad said it was a new licensing requirement to keep the city safe.

“Each premises must have at least three units, two installed at the front, covering the five-foot way and one at the rear or back door,” he said while chairing the council’s monthly full board meeting.

Mohd Haffiz said MBJB was the first local authority to implement such a rule and had started notifying business owners.

The mayor said the move was part of MBJB’s efforts to enhance surveillance.

The council reserves the right to review CCTV recordings, with police cooperation, for enforcement and public safety.The council reserves the right to review CCTV recordings, with police cooperation, for enforcement and public safety.

He added that for renewal application, business owners must submit CCTV images with a recent date as proof of compliance despite the licence issued last year, while new applicants must instal CCTV cameras within 90 days of licence approval.

Licence holders are also completely responsible for the installation, maintenance and operation of the CCTV cameras.

“Equipment such as network video recorders (NVRs) and display monitors must be placed within the premises and monitored by the business owner,” said Mohd Haffiz.

However, the council reserves the right to review CCTV recordings, with police cooperation, for enforcement and public safety, he added.

A functional CCTV system can help deter crime, support investigations and reduce security staff in high-risk or vast areas.

Mohd Haffiz said it aligned with the Johor Smart City agenda and goal for a secure urban environment.

More CCTV soon, extending coverage city-wide.
