Researchers at a cybersecurity firm say they have identified vulnerabilities in software widely used by millions of connected devices — flaws that could be exploited by hackers to penetrate business and home computer networks and disrupt them. Or as everyone else knows it, "Wednesday"
Or "Tuesday" if you're reading this in the forum.

Yup, that must be it.

Dubbed Oblivious DNS-over-HTTPS, or ODoH for short, the new protocol makes it far more difficult for internet providers to know which websites you visit. The protocol will require a different dongle with each new version, and cables are available separately.
Being highly oblivious myself, I approve of this new protocol.

And of course they won't be compatible between them and you will need to buy new ones with each new release of the protocol.

If and BIG IF it really is as "described"... it can't be worst as what we now have. So... why not?

I wonder how many backdoors bugs in the implementation will be put in there.

According to former Israel space security chief Haim Eshed, the United States and Israeli governments have been and are in contact with a "Galactic Federation" of aliens. "And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space, 'cause it's bugger all down here on Earth"

Extremely offensive - it should be "'cause there's bugger all", not "it's".

I think they also informed the police and the police raided the premises after the call.
Goodness knows what happened after that... brown bags filled with cash being taken away by the police?

At some point in life, most people have stood over a rolled-out slab of cookie dough and pondered just how to best cut out cookies with as little waste as possible. Now, even math experts have given up on finding a computer algorithm to answer this type of geometric problem. I guess we'll have to get some AI involved
they get a cookie if they solve it

Python is clearly the best choice, unless a better choice is Java or JavaScript. Let’s compare. The answer is clearly, "E. All of the above"
At least the set including the ones you'll be paid for, but also the ones you enjoy using.
And whatever category Brain**** fits into.

Rust sounds appealing from what little I've read. Kind of a stripped down C++ but a bit paternalistic? Maybe someone who's investigated it in more detail can weigh in.
Julia, I had to look up. Good for numerical analysis and other weenie things?! It takes all kinds.
Anyway, you can't kiss all the girls. I'll cleave to the one I have.
