An open source WebAssembly project brings web components to other languages, allowing devs to share web components across digital properties. Why should only the front end developers suffer?

So I can only complain so much about them going the wrong way.

A GitHub flaw, or possibly a design decision, is being abused by threat actors to distribute malware using URLs associated with a Microsoft repository, making the files appear trustworthy. What kind of world do we live in when you can't even trust a download from Microsoft to *only* have their flaws?
"Even if you decide not to post the comment or delete it after it is posted, the files are not deleted from GitHub's CDN, and the download URLs continue to work forever." <-- Who came up with that great design?

Probably the one with the idea of changing the start menu and place ads in its place.

Lately I've been re-examining a lot of what I once thought to be best practices. It's hard enough to find adequate practices some days
At least in my cubicle

Datadog’s State of DevSecOps 2024 report details Java service vulnerabilities and security scan noise. On the bright side, no one uses the other 10%

Microsoft is not done adding more odd stuff into its operating system. In related news, no one seems to be logging out anymore
They'd change the Start button to a rotating billboard if they could

Windows is fast becoming like one of those click-bait sites that when you close them, pop up a window saying "Before you go, do you want to buy <some useless cr@p>"  . If I didn't have to use MS tools for full compatibility with work stuff, I would have moved to Linux a couple of years ago.

I think that's why they moved the start button over to the right, and put the weather widget in its place on the taskbar.
Because after all these years, people are trained to focus their attention to the lower left corner when they are transitioning from one task to another, and computer advertising is all about distraction. Ads are always placed where they stand the most chance of distracting you from your task.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

same old MS bull****.
Looking real hard at some Unix development contracts where the OS just does what it's supposed to do.
20+ years ago I had a conversation with an IT manager where he was going bravado on me about how he could break into any Windows system. Curious I said, "please elaborate." His words, "Oh we just cycle power on the PC, it gets past all the screen locks." Most of my people used Windows to run an X-Windows connection to their Unix machines. I politely informed him that doing that might be a career limiting move. He seemed to think he was there in a not so support role.
24 years later, and the best MS can come up with are ads in the start menu and pushing their "you must have a network login bs."

"When given the CVE description, GPT-4 is capable of exploiting 87 percent of these vulnerabilities compared to 0 percent for every other model we test (GPT-3.5, open-source LLMs) and open-source vulnerability scanners (ZAP and Metasploit)." Perfect, as if Hackers weren't already a PITA
