Started in 1994, FreeDOS will turn 30 years old on June 29, 2024. And as we look ahead to a milestone anniversary, I wanted to take a look back and where things started. As useful now as it was in 1994

A new vulnerability in UEFI firmware is threatening the security of a wide range of Intel chip families in a similar fashion to BlackLotus and others like it. New hacks rise from the ashes
I like how they say they're not releasing proof of concept code, but they describe the attack with probably enough detail for hackers to use.

Win+C has been assigned to some of Windows' least successful features. How will I ever summon the Copilot now?
