Microchip manufacturers contaminated the groundwater in the 1980s. Almost 40 years later, the cleanup still isn’t complete. Apple, Atari, Hewlett-Packard, Intel, Xerox! With your factories combined, I am ... no wait.

On Monday night, Variety reported that film editors around Los Angeles who had Avid Media Composer software installed were suddenly finding that their Macs were unable to reboot. The publication speculated that malware may have been the cause. On Wednesday, Google disclosed the real cause—a Chrome browser update. Firefox FTW!

Microsoft has released an emergency update for its Internet Explorer browser to fix a bug that cyber-thieves are known to be exploiting. Statistically speaking, 8% of you need to know this.

It can't be that much of an "emergency" if they're not pushing it out via Windows Update. How many end-users are going to be able to navigate through the various articles to get to the instructions on how to manually download and apply the patch?
Release Channel: Windows Update and Microsoft Update
Available: No
Next Step: See the other option below.
Release Channel: Microsoft Update Catalog
Available: Yes
Next Step: To get the standalone package for this update, go to the Microsoft Update Catalog website.
Release Channel: Windows Server Update Services (WSUS)
Available: No
Next Step: See the other option above.

Quote: The bug could let attackers hijack a web browser and use their access to install malware, it warned. I thought they were already using the Windows Updates for that
Patches only available for Win10-1903... it looks like another "new feature" got through without testing...
Or are they not patching older systems to force updates?

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.

It's a different KB article for each version of Windows. Because it obviously isn't already complicated enough for normal users.
4522007[^] - IE9 on Server 2008; IE10 on Server 2012; IE11 on Windows 7, 8.1, 2008 R2, 2012, and 2012 R2.
4522009[^] - IE11 on "Windows 10" (presumably the original release, but who knows?).
4522010[^] - IE11 on Server 2016; IE11 on 1607.
4522011[^] - IE11 on 1703.
4522012[^] - IE11 on 1709.
4522014[^] - IE11 on 1803.
4522015[^] - IE11 on 1809.
4522016[^] - IE11 on 1903.
Don't ask what happened to 4522008 and 4522013, or to the patches for Server 2019.

Quantum computing has the potential to revolutionize technology, medicine, and science by providing faster and more efficient processors, sensors, and communication devices. Honestly after thinking "debug for me," I can't really think of anything else with this topic.

After all of these years, I finally came to one simple conclusion. With all due respect: we are completely clueless about how long things should take. "How much time do YOU want me to spend on this." That's a little provocative.

Bob Burdett was on a bike ride in Washington when his bike flipped, sending him head-first to the pavement. The impact knocked him unconscious.
But in a case of technology “spying” on us for the better, his Apple Watch detected the fall and called 911. Apple Watch may be kinder than a stranger driving by.

Microsoft is edging closer to its 1 billion goal for Windows 10. The software giant is revealing today that Windows 10 is now running on more than 900 million devices, a significant jump from the previous 800 million figure achieved earlier this year. Like those old signs on McDonalds. Just put up a sign: "Microsoft: We're doing very well."

I am an unusual beast. All my solo project games I've been making recently have been written in 'vanilla' C. Nobody does this. So I think it might be interesting to explain why I do. "C is dangerous, but good enough for me."

I'm not trying to bash API Gateway, Lambda or serverless in general here, just showing that for some workloads they are a lot more expensive than boring old EC2 and Elastic Beanstalk. Not gospel, but researched just enough for people to engage with whether it is wrong or right.

Can't say I'm surprised that adding additional levels of abstraction comes with performance/pricing costs. The way the api gateway pricing clobbers applications that are chatty with lots of very small API calls instead of a handful of larger quasi-monolithic ones is really ugly though. I'd be somewhat curious what the relative pricing looks like for serving web pages since that's a much more common use (and would be a lot closer to relevant for me, needing to upgrade to .net core instead of adding new customer features would still be an issue).
As it stands my AWS/net web app is only using lamba to trigger a few things on timers and thus orders of magnitudes of use below the limits for the free tier; everything else is running in VMs.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
