What if you could manipulate the facial features of a historical figure, a politician, or a CEO realistically and convincingly using nothing but a webcam and an illustrated or photographic still image? I don't see this being used for awfulness. Not at all.

Kali Linux 2019.4 was released last week and with it comes an 'Undercover' mode that can be used to quickly make the Kali desktop look like Windows 10. Fake moustache and trench coat not included

If someone is running Linux at work, chances are pretty damn good that it's approved by the IT department. This is a pointless feature.

If it was a feature for Ubuntu/etc you'd be right in most cases. Kali linux isn't a daily driver distro; it's a collection of hacking tools used by pen-testers (and blackhats). Outside of businesses where that's a normal part of operations seeing the Kali logo should be a red flag.

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?

Nearly all major technology companies are saying the same thing. Kubernetes is the next big thing in computing. "Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present."

One of the last places I'd look for tech trends is a financial site.

... that we're less than 2 years from the creation and mainstreaming of a tool to make kubernetes easy to use?

We've been taught to look out for that little padlock to ensure a website is secure. But it's dangerous to rely on just one detail. So, 'https://this-is-totally-a-real-secure-site.com' isn't legit?
And now I'm sad that URL isn't already taken. Those phishing folk sure are lazy! (and a cowardly and superstitious lot)

Then you been thaught wrong, and that's the problem (not the padlock); my parents know that they should always cancel an auto-download, and never click a link on an email with an address that they haven't got mail from before.
As a result, my fathers' laptop works fine for over 5 years, without having a virusscanner installed. (Both do have a custom host file, ofc).
The padlock doesn't turn green anymore in Chrome, so easiest solution there was to explain not to use chrome anymore

There was a long time that there were no real repercussions for a large databreach, and without (financial) risc and no reward, it is hard to justify for some to invest money in it.

Ah, yes, like the company that tells me a password needs to be at least 10 characters, etc.
That's not doing much; it gives the nice cozy feeling of strict security. I don't want to know how many of those very secure passwords are saved in plain text or part of a logbook.

In this new effort, the researchers have found a new way to power the sensors by embedding triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) in the surface of the table, allowing the table to power itself. Sorry, there isn't a Black Friday sale on them

Ah, the joy of higher level languages, like C#:
int[] source = new int[] {-4, -2, 0, 1, 5}
.Select(i => i * i).ToArray();
Array.Sort(source);
