There are dozens of naturally occurring thiophenes on Earth that aren't formed by bacteria; I chose one that took the presumptuousness of their claim a step further. It's called "satire".

Microsoft is planning to introduce on March 6 a new free tier for Azure Cosmos DB, its multi-model, globally distributed cloud database. It's selling that well, is it?

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?

Intel CSME bug is worse than previously thought | ZDNet[^]
Quote: Researchers say a full patch requires replacing hardware. Only the latest Intel 10th generation CPUs are not affected.
Quote: The CSME is also "the cryptographic basis" for other Intel technologies like Intel EPID (Enhanced Privacy ID), Intel Identity Protection, any DRM (Digital Rights Management) technologies, or firmware-based TPMs (Trusted Platform Modules).
In other words, the CSME is, basically, a "root of trust" for every other technology running on Intel chipsets.
Quote: But in new research published today, Ermolov says the bug can be exploited to recover the Chipset Key, which is the root cryptographic key that can grant an attacker access to everything on a device.
Quote: Fully patching this attack vector will require replacing the CPU, the Positive Technology researchers said.

Quantum computing isn’t yet far enough along that it could have helped curb the spread of this coronavirus outbreak. But this emerging field of computing will almost certainly help scientists and researchers confront future crises. Step 0: put everyone in boxes...

A quantum-computer-based AI that's located in the cloud, maybe.
I can't help but wonder how many more buzzword cazzobuboli are going to be hailed as the solution to the corona virus.
Maybe I should start making a list, so I'll be ready for the next natural disaster.

Assuming they are ever actually able to construct one then yes it will have to be cloud-accessed, given the super-cold temperatures required.
If they are never able to construct one then we just end up with some improved machine learning algorithms for classical computers.

If that only would be true... 
Seeing how fast such news spread... I think that kind of reporters are an information virus

Members of the FSF tech team are currently reviewing ethical Web-based software that helps teams work on their projects, with features like merge requests, bug tracking, and other common tools. "Nothin', don't mean nothin' hon' if it ain't free"

A perversion of the far more appropriate original line: "Nothin' ain't worth nothin', but it's free".
Yet another example of people fixing things whut wasn't broke.

Protocol=> With apps, Babel Street's Locate X allows US phone tracking[^]
Through apps, not warrants, ‘Locate X’ allows federal law enforcement to track phones U.S. law enforcement agencies signed millions of dollars worth of contracts with a Virginia company after it rolled out a powerful tool that uses data from popular mobile apps to track the movement of people's cell phones, according to federal contracting records and six people familiar with the software.

For this exercise I delibrately only look at what the .NET Runtime is doing during program start-up, so I ensure the minimum amount of user code is runing, hence the following ‘Hello World’ As opposed to when the programs crash in flames

I only dived into the article because I wanted to know wtf a flamegraph is, and crappity-crappity, the user guide is on twitter[^].
So it's essentially a buzzword for kiddies and twits that means "a spreadsheet".
