Just add a small docking port in the back for attaching a normal household vacuum that's been slightly modified. There's also a seal around your entire back area that separates that area from the rest of the suit so that it can run a warm slightly pressurised beam of water around to wash you. That port + seal can be extended to interface with a special space suit toilet you can drag along with you or have readily installed on the outside of the craft, all in porcelain ofc.
Imagine the epiphanies you can have, sitting and doing your business on the outside of the ISS.

Microsoft has made several adjustments to its design language over the last few years, starting with Windows 8 and evolving into what we now know as "Microsoft Design Language 2" or MDL2 in Windows 10. Did they check to see if this name is trademarked elsewhere first?

File storage services like Dropbox, Google Drive and OneDrive are very popular these days. There are alternatives. One of them is Nextcloud, an open-source alternative to Dropbox and the others that you install and maintain on your own server. Just in case you're looking to drop your dropbox

WinAero, today, reports: "a sensational report is doing the rounds of the internet." : [^]Quote: Microsoft stuck a deal with FireEye Inc. that will allow them to share the telemetry data from Windows 10 with this third-party cybersecurity company.
As part of the deal, FireEye's software "iSIGHT Intelligence tools" will be integrated into Windows Defender. This will open the doors for FireEye to see telemetry from every device running Windows 10.
This is the first time when telemetry information is being shared with a third party. Earlier, there were no statements about such deals between Microsoft and other companies.
However, the situation has changed. Now the vast amount of telemetry data that Microsoft has can be accessed via a subscription billing model. This option will be available for security teams like anti-virus software developers. It sounds like if you pay enough, then you can get in.
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

You may have been told definitively that space is silent, maybe by your teacher or through the marketing of the movie Alien – "In space no one can hear you scream". The common explanation for this is that space is a vacuum and so there's no medium for sound to travel through. "Vibrations reach on up to become light, and then through gamma, out of sight"

Funnnily enough, the MPs voted in an exception to the surveillance laws. Can you guess who? Yup, it's the MPs themselves.

I think the browser log law is a great idea:
- The storage requirements would increase by leaps and bounds
- Storage companies would sell massive amounts of storage in order to satisfy the demand
- It will no longer be economically viable to produce anything but storage devices
- As the demand goes up, the quality will go down
- Eventually, all of the crappy storage will crash, bringing down civilization with it
- The few remaining savages will swear to record nothing, and will kill anyone who can read or write
- The real End of History arrives

It can be a software application, a podcast, a blog—anything that is not a part of your day job and is out there for the world to see and use. Since you will be spending your evenings and weekends working on this, it helps if it’s related to a topic that you are passionate about. Where else are you going to get ideas for CP articles?

Telemetry data recorded by Windows 10 is, in a nutshell, just technical information about the device the OS is on, and how Windows and any installed software is performing, but it can occasionally include personal information. In related news: I am so surprised.
