I guess they have stolen enough to build their own stuff now.
Coincidentally, today whilst reviewing my webserver logs, I noticed abuse and looked up the IP...yep, another Beijing host...now blocked! Quit mucking up my server logs!
To be fair, only 90% of the hacking attempts originate in China. Russia is the other hacker nation.

If I wanted to hack someone, I'd go through a Beijing server, too -- anonymity through obscurity, and all that.

Makes sense to me.
I don't trust ms, google, amazon, etc. either, and would be very happy if Europe could dump absolutely every piece of spyware software made by them.

When support for Windows 7 ends on Jan. 14, Microsoft will also stop providing new malware signatures for its home-grown Security Essentials software. They'd really, really, really appreciate it if you "upgraded" to Win10

It will be an end of an era at Microsoft next week, an era that may have divided the company and the tech community far too long. They will no longer be 'Live Tiles'

Are they going to drop that crap of "one windows to rule them all" and go back to a Desktop OS that might be useful in a Windows 11?

Back on January 27, 2010, a very Big Thinker declared the PC dead. A decade later, the PC is very much alive, although a time traveler from 2010 might not recognize it. Here's how this endangered species evolved and survived. Reality?

Read that strange article last week. I was expecting a discussion on PCs, not laptops, but when I realized where it was going, I was still disappointed; small format tablets were oversold from the start. Then there is the tag "might not recognize it."; Only if you're a complete idiot.
Not the first ZDNet article to fail last week.

I'd vote for this one, this week.
I've tried searching for modern PCs (and laptops, just for completeness' sake), but I can't find a single one that I wouldn't have recognised as a PC (or laptop) in 2010.
You expect this kind of ridiculous statement in click-bait headlines, but that's not where this was -- and it's not just an inflated or exaggerated statement; it's the words of a fruggin' loony.

Lego becomes more and more enjoyable as your collection grows, until the point when your morass of plastic bricks becomes so overwhelming that it’s impossible to find the piece you’re looking for. I'm pretty sure I can identify most of them when stepping on them in the dark

Going by the number of different pieces of the named great-rip-off building kit, I would imagine that an eminently suitable tool for listing them would be a spreadsheet.
However, identifying a piece will not prevent it being "impossible to find". That problem is one of storage, not identification -- a physical stock-keeping system would be required for that.

After losing the Pentagon’s JEDI cloud contract things have rapidly progressed from bad to worse, as the US Federal Trade Commission confirms they have launched an Amazon AWS antitrust investigation in Amazon’s Web Service cloud business. It's their turn already?
I'm sure it has nothing at all to do with the Washington Post

"Anti-competitive practices" != "a monopoly"; "anti-competitive practices" = "illegal".

Your misrepresentation of "anti-competitive practices" as "a monopoly" is just as deceitful, either way.

I think the article is badly worded, but it is actually saying the opposite. Looking at the comments you're not the only person who seems to have come to the same conclusion. What the article seems to be saying is that what they are doing would be illegal if they had a monopoly share, but as they don't it isn't.

In a coffee-shop scenario, attackers can hijack “secure” VPN sessions of those working remotely, injecting data into their TCP streams. Coffee shops considered dangerous
