We're nearly two months out from the public release of Windows 11, and Microsoft is still slowly updating bits and pieces of the operating system that weren't quite ready in early October. It looks like you're trying to waste time with useless upgrades. Would you like help with that?

If an allegedly exclusive partnership deal in the Windows on Arm PC space ends soon, will (and should) anyone care? MIPS and Alpha developers feel their pain
OK, that was .NET, but it's a slow news day, and my brain is slower still.

Malware creators have already started testing a proof-of-concept exploit targeting a new Microsoft Windows Installer zero-day publicly disclosed by security researcher Abdelhamid Naceri over the weekend. To be safe: don't run any code on your system
An evergreen quote in the article: "Any attempt to patch the binary directly will break windows installer. So you better wait and see how Microsoft will screw the patch again."

As long as the desire to maintain techno-political-economic dominance by the major techno-monopolies drives language invention, development, maintenance, and governance ... more of the same.
More static, more FrameWorks, a glut of so-called "no code/low code" stuff that will create bloated unusable chimeras.
imho, ECMAScript (misnamed JavaScript) will survive as a lowest common denominator the major players tolerate. C#/.NET, Rust. Go, maybe Kotlin, Python ... will keep going their different ways.

According to data collected by Microsoft’s network of honeypot servers, most brute-force attackers primarily attempt to guess short passwords, with very few attacks targeting credentials that are either long or contain complex characters. 12345678 - the 8 means it's really secure
Or just stick with p@ssw0rd.

why brute force them?
They can buy the passwords at discounter price...
