Microsoft and Intel have signed an agreement to help the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) develop a fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) solution that will eliminate several weak points such as data having to be decrypted for processing. This encryption brought to you by the people that secured Windows, Exchange, and your CPU

Microsoft can't even write a proper email app. Why would I want them to encrypt anything for me?

If you're daydreaming of future travels while stuck at home during the pandemic, why fantasize about the beaches of Bali or the canals of Venice when vacationing in space could be in your future? Room service could take a while

Surely this is the ultimate quarantine destination.

Plenty of space for an outdoor pool, but good luck getting it warm!

Good luck getting it filled.

InferSharp brings the scalable, automated and interprocedural memory safety analytics of Infer to the .NET platform. You know what happens when you 'infer', don't you?
OK, it doesn't work like 'assume', I assume?

As an Italian, "InferSharp" sounds creepy: "Inferno" means "hell"...

On the one hand I suppose this is a step up from a decadish ago when they released several VS preview builds with broken installers such that your only way to get the final version involved either a full OS reinstall, or IIRC extensive registry hacking.
On the other hand, that large a dependency is a hard nope for me. The farthest I'm willing to go from a proper windows install is relocating penguin droppings from C:\whatever\ to C:\ProgramFails\whatever\ to keep my root folder clean.

With the arrival of Google Chrome v89 on Tuesday, Google is preparing to test a technology called Federated Learning of Cohorts, or FLoC, that it hopes will replace increasingly shunned, privacy-denying third-party cookies. A cookie in the hand is better than a FLoC in the bush?

A seeming flaw in iCloud's coding has seemingly prevented an author from being able to access her account, due to its interpretation of her surname "True." What if she changed her first name to 'Not'?

After 20 years and a global pandemic, we learned that ‘hybrid remote’ is exactly how software development teams were always meant to work. Do hybrid remotes still get lost in the couch cushions?

After this date, Microsoft will no longer provide updates (which includes security fixes) or technical support for this version. Three years old - it had so much to compile ahead of it

Microsoft has unveiled 'Known Issue Rollback,' which allows IT admins roll back individual non-security elements of an update if the change breaks something "Keep them dogies rollin'" (back)

What happens if it's the security elements that are bad?

So, unless you think that IT management will only use this feature as advertised, and not go back to their old practice of cherrypicking a random subset of patches to install every month; by the end of the year we'll be back to the maintainability cluster of old where every company big enough to with the patching process will be running a bespoke build of Windows that no one in Redmond has ever touched because the number of potential configurations of skipped patches will grow exponentially larger each month.
