"Serious changes" is a marketing term, right? It has no relation to the definition of the first word.

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.

True, and I definitely need to keep reminding myself of that.

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.

New research suggests that remembering a song in your head is more than a passing nuisance -- it plays an important role in helping memories form, not only for the song, but also related life events. Because I needed to remember that it's a small world, after all...
And now so do you! :P

Argh. As I was reading that, a dozen or more songs went through my head and I couldn't pick one. Now I've got all of them playing in my head at once! I wonder what that means.

It means your brain is multithreaded with poor synchronization.

The latest data shows that tech workers are in high-demand - but the challenge now is to find the right candidates. "You never get free - everybody wants you"

Interesting article, but one of the commenters pegged it nicely.
The ACTUAL thing they should be saying is: "We can't find the type of worker that works the hours we want, in the environment we want, for the PAY that we want to pay them".
"When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others; same thing when you are stupid."

Stupid - An individual without knowledge and is incapable of learning.
Idiot - An individual without knowledge and allows social media to do the thinking for them.

They need people with real coding skills to fix the craptastic projects that attempted to use low/no code strategies.
They're finding out that OTS solutions are NOT the answer to company specific data requirements.
Manager: "We need this nifty new wiz-bang feature to be added to our ServiceNow/SharePoint/SalesForce/Tableau/QlikView app."
Low/No-coder: "We can't do that, or at least not the way you want it, and certainly not in the requested time frame."
Manager: "But I thought this low/no-code stuff was supposed to make everybody a programmer and provide faster solutions for database-heavy apps."
Low/no-coder: "What's a database?"

 I've spent too much time writing views/SPs for a sr. partner who has tried several dashboard reporting tools over the last decade. They want to contribute and despise having to rely on me for all the coding. I can appreciate that, but they are still dependent on me to write their queries and figure out how to implement/deliver the bloated results of whatever new tool we are trying this year.
