In the first quarter of 2024, funding deals within the cybersecurity sector experienced a significant decline of 20% year over year, amounting to $2.3 billion, according to Pinpoint Search Group. And a hacking upturn in Q2 2024

Windows defines values for the access rights STANDARD_RIGHTS_READ, STANDARD_RIGHTS_WRITE, and STANDARD_RIGHTS_EXECUTE. But if you look at their definitions, they are all defined to be the same thing, namely, READ_CONTROL. It's because they're supposed to have accents

Following three years of intensive research, an international team of researchers have compiled the first ever "World Cybercrime Index," which identifies the globe's key cybercrime hotspots by ranking the most significant sources of cybercrime at a national level. I'm keeping my eye on you, Tokelau

Top 10 not a real surprise...
If the ranking was about being easily hacked... Germany would be the first.

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.

Tokelau is right. I once played along with one of those Indian "We've detected a problem on your computer" scammers until they wanted me to connect to a website with a Tokelau domain. They couldn't explain why Microsoft had a site in such a remote, barely populated place, which was when I told them GFY.

Wow. I picked the country at random (or rather, from a list of smallest countries in the world by population at random). I never thought it might connect to an actual group of baddies.

No baddies in the country, just easy to get a domain registered there.

Looked it up on Google maps. Maybe 1000 people? All sitting on the rim of a long ago volcano.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

A Microsoft presentation reveals the company tried to sell Azure OpenAI's popular image generator, DALL-E, to the Department of Defense. Battlefield not looking good? Get an AI to add a corgi on a skateboard to it

Gartner has forecasted that, by 2028, as many as three in four enterprise software engineers will harness the power of AI code assistants, up from just one in 10 in 2023. And the other quarter will be complaining about them

I'm using one mainly because I want to look like I'm on the bandwagon at work. Making sure I don't look like an old fogey and become a target of layoff.

If Gartner used AI, would their analysis improve?

They'd have to, wouldn't they?

I wonder when Kent will be posting "as many as 3 in four AI platforms will harness [specific specialty skills] of human coders."

This is a simulation of the world's first electronic digital computer, Colossus, which ran at Bletchley Park and was used to break the German Lorenz cipher. See if you can get DOOM running on it

If the EV industry was Microsoft, they'd require 350 volt chargers and then complain nobody was buying.

No, they'd require 350 volt chargers and only accept 50 volts.
