We all have only so many days on this green earth, and Microsoft is suggesting you do not waste them waiting on your PC to boot each day. Then you can wait for Windows Update to finish applying patches to your new machine instead

I'm going to build a new PC when Kaby Lake Core i7 7700K becomes fully available. That said, my Core i7 2600 based system boots in about 15 seconds.

Wait for Reboot? Never heard of hibernate?

They plan that you have two machine: one installing updates and patches and the other you can work.
Maybe the second should be a Mac

Until we know how much data breaches cost each victim, there's little chance of getting business to invest enough in cybersecurity, warns the Internet Society. Also, some people are afraid of cat videos

What an idiot chart. The percent of households WITHOUT internet who state privacy or security concerns went from 0.4% in 2009 to 1.4% in 2015. In other words, it went from statistically insignificant to statistically insignificant.

There's people stopping themselves from getting on the internet?
I haven't met them.
Wait, no, my late dad was not on the internet.
A decade ago this perplexed me.
As years went on though I was never so grateful for that anomaly.

I know what you mean... my mother got ill and had to stay at home for a very long time and she learned to use whatsapp...
Luckily she has more common sense that many others, but it is still concerning me a bit how she uses it

It is not that knowledge that would 'force' them to invest in security, it is the fact that they are not financially responsible.
Something they are if we're talking about physical products. Change that, and security will become a sudden priority.

A little over 2 years ago Microsoft announced that they were open sourcing large parts of the .NET framework and as Scott Hanselman said in his recent Connect keynote, the community has been contributing in a significant way. That's 'open' as in 'open'.

But post Snowden, and particularly after the result of the last election here in the US, it's clear that everything on the web should be encrypted by default. zvffvba nppbzcyvfurq

With my code, that's not necessary. Nobody will understand it, neither me...

I personally use Letsencrypt for some of my home servers. And I agree with your point about encrypt everything.
However, Letsencrypt has some serious shortcomings that they seem oblivious to. Number one, their certificates expire in ridiculously short time. They say they do this on purpose to "encourage" system owners to automate their renewal practices. Nice idea, except that some systems CAN'T be automated. I have an Exchange server behind a big hardware firewall. Every time the cert expires, it means downtime for me to manually export the cert and reconfigure the firewall. This can't be automated.
So, it is actually less expensive to pay $300 a year for a commercial cert than to spend hours and hours every 60 days fixing the free one, and dealing with down time.
I wish people could see the big picture. It's so frustrating. It's like they don't live in the real world.

While the game as existed on Windows for more than 25 years, the modern Solitaire Collection will now be available outside of Windows for the first time. "All by myself in the morning, all by myself in the night"
It was either that, or the Hallelujah chorus.

Didn't they just remove that from Windows?
Before we know it Windows will work anywhere except on a Windows PC (well, that last part is true already)!

Intel, Qualcomm, Microsoft, etc. all have R&D centers in Israel. Much of the technology in Intel's processors, Qualcomm's smartphone platforms, etc. is developed here. Is this tiny sample of Israeli developments enough for you?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.
