I don't know the rest, but I can't concentrate well at home.
Besides... for me home is my sacred place, and I want to have it completely separated from my work to avoid "contamination".

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

A few weeks ago at Figma, we experienced our first-ever spam attack. This proved the value of Figma’s rate limiter and finally put a stop to the longstanding joke that I had built it in vain. For those unfamiliar, a rate limiter caps how many requests a sender — this could be a user or an IP address — can issue in a specific window of time (e.g. 25 requests per minute)

Microsoft this week retired the security bulletins that for decades have described each month's slate of vulnerabilities and accompanying patches for customers -- especially administrators responsible for companies' IT operations. Yesterday when Microsoft shipped cumulative security updates for Windows, Internet Explorer, Office and other products, it omitted the usual bulletins.

With the launch of the Windows 10 Creators Update and Edge 40 (EdgeHTML 15), Microsoft has released a new battery usage test that, naturally, trashes the company's competition. Microsoft puts on a Microsoft crown.

I believe Google gave itself an award a few months ago for something.
Further, when I just did a poll of just me, I found that I am the best C++ programmer I know. Now I need to make myself a plaque.

And now that you have posted it on the internet, it is true. 
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

And if Edge was able to run without using a single cpu cycle, i'd not use it.
Well... from a performance perspective it SEEMS to run without cpu 
|
|

That's because the only thing I use Edge for is to download Chrome.
(OK, that doesn't make much sense, but it sounds good.)

That and to test if the same issue you have in Chrome, exists on Edge!

Yes, but they didn't mention that all those given winio machines for the test booted them up, took one look, then put them to sleep for the rest of the test period.

Weddings are never simple affairs and it can feel like a lot of aspects are outside of your control. Automating certainly made my life easier by providing a direct channel with our guests and a myriad of different ways I could track, nudge and poke them into responding.

Last year Apple patched iOS after cyber researchers from the UK demonstrated that a malicious webpage could use iPhone sensors to detect a passcode. The technique was so accurate that the team had a 100% success rate at working out 4-digit PINs within five attempts, reports Engadget. A neural network was used to identify correlations between motion sensor data and tapped PINs, and a browser Javascript exploit was used to run the malware.

Chattanooga, Tennessee wants to expand its network so these rural areas can have the same Gbps and 10 Gpbs connections the city has. Rather than allow that to happen, Tennessee's legislature just voted to give Comcast and AT&T a $45 million taxpayer handout. It is illegal for EPB—a power and communications company owned by the Chattanooga government (which offers 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps, and 10 Gpbs internet connections) to expand out into surrounding areas
Last week, Apple admitted a mistake. After gathering a handful of journalists to what I can only imagine is the company’s secret volcano lair, Apple copped to screwing up the trashcan-shaped Mac Pro, and vowed to do better.

These city/county-run ISPs are starting to become the last hope for decent net in the states. With crapcast I had a 10/3 cable connection that barely pushed 1/0.2 most days. Now I have a city-run ISP for about the same price at 150/150 fiber and it runs 150/175 most days. Customer service is great and they even send out e-mails about local/state laws regarding internet privacy and availability if you ask.

So now, Macs will be obsolete the day you buy them, instead of the year before you buy them.

Zeng, an NYU grad student, spent six weeks last year detailing the life of a Chinese worker at an iPhone factory, Pegatron, near Shanghai. It’s not all bad, but it isn't good either.
|
|
|
|
|
Quote: Zeng earned about $665 during his six weeks at Pegatron.
That should be just enough to buy an IPhone 7 and a couple of bowls of noodles per day. Thank goodness Apple takes care of their suppliers with only a 38% profit margin and 18 billion dollar profit this past quarter.
|
|
|
|
|
Quote: Pegatron workers who make Apple products work for 43 hours per week on average
So that's 90 hours a week each for the guys on the shop floor, and two hours a week each for the army of managers.

I read about it the first time today on the webpage of the German magazine c't.
It is a file and image compression used by Windows 10: Compact OS, single-instancing, and image optimization[^].
While used by default only for system files stored on SSDs, it may be used with a command line tool for all files on NFTS drives. Such files can be read on Windows 10 only. There is so far only an experimental open source project allowing read only.
At c't they tested if the common forensic tools are able to process such compressed files and they failed all (German link: Forensik-Tools patzen bei neuer Windows-Kompression | heise Security[^]).
