"We clearly missed the mobile phone"
Not only that, but each successive iteration abandoned existing customers to oblivion due to incompatiblity, so they couldn't retain any customers either.

They were too busy forcing mobile-phone UIs onto desktops to actually do anything with the phones.

Microsoft has been actively missing the embedded space since 2006. I find Windows CE (Windows Embedded Compact) to be the best non-real time embedded OS with the overall best development support. Yet, Microsoft has let it languish. Granted, I'm being entirely selfish here since I've been working with embedded Linux, which is arguably the worst non-real time embedded OS.

The Wi-Fi Alliance is now beginning to certify smartphones, laptops, routers, and other devices that include a super-fast Wi-Fi standard called WiGig, which nearly doubles Wi-Fi’s current top speed "Third gear, hang on tight"

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

Unless they solve WiFi congestion, this won't do a whole lot of good.

Over the last few months, we have heard a lot of requests with respect to adding capability to Visual Studio Code to allow developers to build their C/C++ application. Build it like it's 1999
|
|
|
|
|
The most important point is, that Visual Studio Code now also runs on Linux and the MacOS.

Didn't it always? I thought that was the point.

I've tried it several times and always find it too... Linuxy. Meaning, you have to fiddle way to much with everything. I'd also say it tries to be a jack of all trades and thus is a master of none. In the end, when working on Linux, I find CLion to be vastly superior.

Attackers can reliably flip bits in physical memory cells in order to compromise mobile devices and computers. The problem with turning it off and on again
At least if you do it really fast.

Malware that uses a fake but realistic looking Windows message to convince users it’s a Microsoft Security Essentials installer has been making the rounds through drive-by download attacks, experts warn. As opposed to their regular installers
|
|
|
|
|
The problem could've easily been averted if the user had just noticed that the scam-ware warning messages are much cleaner than the actual MS update installer.
If you have a problem with the real MS updater you'd be lost for what to do.

That'll teach em, no it won't.
Microsoft decided a frowny face would be better than the old bsod where a phone number would be less likely to be able to be appended. As if the frowny face reduces the rage. If anything it enhances it. My elderly customers will make the call.
Really sad MS.

Hangzhou Xiongmai Technology is recalling earlier models of four kinds of cameras due to a security vulnerability You mean it wasn't "by design"?
|
|
|
|
|
A default password per device is an easy solution but not "state of the art".
Security is also done by design. and they missed it.

Is this a real recall, or a sham one where they say they're doing it but don't actually make any effort to contact their victims because doing so would cost money to issue replacements?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging 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?

Computer scientists have created an AI program capable of predicting the outcome of human rights trials. Then they came for the judges, and I did not speak out...

I can't see why they call it AI - as I see it is a data analysing software, fine-tuned for the specific area...

'It is too early to unequivocally attribute these purported signals to the activities of extraterrestrial civilizations,' a group of scientists looking for aliens have warned – but the signals are encouraging Or it could just be the microwave on the fritz again
