<p>This is the only Microsoft-related blog that I currently subscribe to: a nearly 20 years old blog from Raymond Chen, a software engineer working on Windows. The Old New Thing has nearly-daily posts, some sharing key learnings from replying to customer support requests, some forming long series describing entire CPU architectures, and some just general C++ or Windows related tips. Considering that I do not do any assembly code or C++, the more interesting content for me is either when some bits of Windows history are inserted into the post, or some complex programming concept that I rarely get to meet in my usual programming gets explained. Those posts are still posts that I usually skim through without understanding half of them anyway.</p>
<p>This blog is mostly known for its random posts on Microsoft jargon (which Chen calls <em>Microspeak</em>) or various pieces of Windows trivia, such as <a href="https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20121218-00/?p=5803" target="_blank">why Pinball was removed from Windows</a>, and <a href="https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20181221-00/?p=100535" target="_blank">why it cannot come back even though they want to</a>. More recently, a post on <a href="https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20220816-00/?p=106994" target="_blank">a song that made hard drives crash</a> resulted in <a href="https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-38392" target="_blank">a vulnerability</a> being reported.</p>
