Microsoft demonstrated its deep and meaningful affection for all things penguin overnight by borking packages.microsoft.com and leaving some Linux fans bereft of the company's wares. It was running on Office365+OneDrive and it was on Bill's credit card that expired, nobody knows the password and the recovery address is an expired hotmail.com

Today, on June 17, 2021, Microsoft will discontinue the publication of drivers to Windows Update for Windows 7 SP1, Windows Server 2008, and Windows Server 2008 R2. Goodbye my friend will I ever love again

That's why I always keep a local offline copy of the ones delivered at buy time and the ones I upgrade later on.

The search giant is working to allow Rust code in the Linux kernel, a major technological and cultural shift after decades using only C. Good news! Except to poor, poor hackers.

Why? Lately Hackers have only to wait until the security researchers bring their hands on it...

Apple has been under a mountain of scrutiny lately from legislators, developers, judges, and users. Amidst all that, CEO Tim Cook sat with publication Brut. to discuss Apple's strategy and policies. Privacy is a human right ... as long as it doesn’t cost us money.

New information in the form of end-of-life (EOL) dates for Windows 10 and a leaked screenshot of something purporting to be "Windows 11 Pro" heavily imply that serious changes are on the way. Come Windows 10, I myself will carry you through the gates of Valhalla.

Not sure Valhalla is where Windows 10 is destined for, isn't there another place?

A researcher has uncovered one of the more unusual finds in the annals of malware: booby-trapped files that rat out downloaders and try to prevent unauthorized downloading in the future. Y'arr, there be a hole in my pirate ship.

A new survey from Allconnect adds that two in five Americans don't even know what speed they're paying for. The other 27% just want MORE!

Need and want are two different things.

With apologies to Samuel Gompers, "What do internet users want? More speed!"
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

The National Security Agency (NSA) has shared mitigations and best practices that systems administrators should follow when securing Unified Communications (UC) and Voice and Video over IP (VVoIP) call-processing systems. Because if you're going to trust someone to protect your communications, ask the group most likely to monitor them

We’re now in the second-half of the .NET 6 release, and starting to see significant features coming together. Now with new stuff I can't be convinced to look at yet
What a weird coincidence that these two have releases so close to one another.
