Until google comes with their new "non invasive" whatever they want to use to replace cookies.
What wonders me is that Farcebuk didn't come with some new "nor do evil" similar crap to replace the like buttons (yet).

Microsoft has released a security report indicating an increase in firmware attacks. It also highlights the complexities of fighting back against these types of exploits. A reason to never reboot your computer

Quote: That said, a series of recent firmware attacks have led to more vigilance. The recently-discovered ThunderSpy bug targeting Thunderbolt ports revealed the level of damage that firmware vulnerabilities can cause. ThunderSpy works on devices utilizing Thunderbolt ports and allows a hacker who has physical access to the device to read the drive’s contents and copy data. Among the more scary aspects about it is that it allows a malicious penetrator to bypasses drive encryption, Secure Boot, antivirus, and other related security measures.

But Secure Boot was supposed to fix all this, right...

GitHub Advanced Security helps you create secure applications with a community-driven, developer-first approach. Just in case you're too busy to look yourself

Don't know if I would trust Git on the topic of security:

Despite finding no specific examples, researchers have proved the existence of a pervasive kind of prime number so delicate that changing any of its infinite digits renders it composite. Best to wash them by hand (The primes, not the mathematicians. They usually need to go on the heavy duty cycle.)

It surprises me that they haven't created a course for designers yet, to get the next generation of icons out of the final projects of their "students"

Work-life balance was a critical issue for technologists even before the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Working instead of wasting time commuting?

That's actually a considerable factor.
I have 35 to 60 minutes commute one way. When I work from home, I can get one hour more sleep and work 45 minutes longer, without decreasing my "spare" time at home.
On the other hand... I suppose there really are people out there that can't say no and are getting "abused" at home.
Luckily for me, that's something I learnt long ago.

With Windows 10, you’ve got an almost limitless number of ways to customize it. And the tech giant is now working on another personalization feature that will suggest tools and services based on how you plan to use your device. Is there an option for "scan for news items"?

Why? Are you thinking on retirement? 
Please keep it going, we would miss you. No way a machine can deliver the same comments as you. 
On the other hand... and coming back to topic...

Bullshit. Simple, plain and utterly bullshit.
Try to customize security, updates, drivers and other system things.
They don't even let you choose the icons, they change them when they want and roll out without asking you.

So this is the reason we are going to see publicity in the new version of Notepad and co?

“There was no history of my ever purchasing it, or ever owning it,” said one confused NFT buyer. “Now there’s nothing. My money’s gone.” Because "A fool and their money is soon parted."
Either that or it's just the universe wants us to be happy (at someone else's expensive expense)
