Why do I always get the image of Morpheo holding a battery in my head when you post about this?

A secret terrorist watchlist with 1.9 million records, including classified "no-fly" records was exposed on the internet. I didn't make the list!
Further to the discussion below about IT leaders not understanding how they get breached: "The list was left accessible on an Elasticsearch cluster that had no password on it."

Well... if they had written it in Excel, at least some of the data would not have been exposed (just lost)

Tiny wobbles in the incredible rings of Saturn have allowed astronomers an indirect look into the gas giant's interior, and it appears that its core differs from expectations. Planets: they're just like us!

Despite the fact most IT leaders consider their cybersecurity practices efficient, data breaches are still commonplace, says a new report from Amplitude Research. In totally unrelated news: the requirements just changed, but the deadline was moved up

1) Most IT Leaders have not really a clue of what actually is being needed in the IT of their companies.
2) Many of the problems with security are not even avoidable by the IT guys as they are placed in sites where they can't do anything against it.
3) The best what an IT guy can do is have the best backup system possible because it is not a question of "if" they get a breach, but more a question of "when" they get the breach.
4) Actually #3 is the best advice even for private people.

Have you ever needed to debug and step into a code of dependent NuGet or .NET libraries that do not build as part of your solution? Now you can find things you probably didn't want to know
|
|
|
|
|
Indeed. It'll be like learning how sausages are made.

Intel has been working for years to enter the high-end graphics card market to compete with Nvidia and AMD, and today those efforts get a name: Intel Arc (not to be confused with Intel Ark, the site you go to when you need help with Intel's indecipherable processor model numbers). Yes, you can run DOOM on them
White flag for the integrated video card?

I wonder how long will it take to your white flag to turn a red flag

Reminds me of ftp.funet.fi (or really any ftp.xxx.yy site, but ftp.funet.fi was one of the bigger). Truckloads of open source code, ten years before Linux.

Interestingly enough I remember hearing that the French government preferred Linux for its users, that was around 10 years ago so it may still be the case.

Dunno about them in particular; but I've seen a a number of cases where a few years after internal IT/Foss advocates succeed in pushing linux to the desktop for an organization it reverts back to Windows/MS Office when the reality of Linux being too hard for Joe Luser and assorted non-technical pointy-hair types results in increased ongoing help-desk costs that dwarf what they saved by not having to pay MS for software licenses.
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?
