What were they thinking?! These erroneous guesses about tech in 2018 would shatter any crystal ball. "Prediction is very difficult, especially about the future."

A string of bugs when chained together created the perfect attack to gain access to someone’s Microsoft account — simply by tricking a user into clicking a link. It's fixed, but ... sigh

Yup.
You threaten to put them around the boss' secretary's neck, and she'll immediately hand over any passwords you need.

There's a new Windows Insider build out today, and the biggest changes appear to be none other than Notepad, Windows' venerable barebones text editor. "1981, its over... Future is Now!"
|
|
|
|
|
Coming next: Notepad will be integrated into Paint 3D, and made Cloud-only!
(This seems to fit some other of this mornings headlines. But if the prediction comes true, the world will end. Really.)

Detecting and identifying unreliable pages is of key importance, as it might help to warn users and reduce malicious activity on the platform. All of them?

Pretty much.
It's almost certain that an AI tasked with the job would eventually realise that any page expressing a political opinion is toxic, so fb would be confined to displaying pages about cats and political correctness mandates.
IMO, that would be an improvement, because it would be even easier than it already is to ignore.

You laugh but they want to change the name of the city of Manhattan. I think it's because they don't like hats though.

Hmm.
Etymologically speaking, the "mandate" means to hand over, because "mand" means "hand" -- as in the thing that should be used to bitch-slap any semi-literate people who try to take ownership of English.

A quarter century after its release, the game’s legacy is unquestionable — but it could always use a few new levels. So co-creator John Romero made some. They come with a silver statue of his head impaled on a spike. "I'll be in my bunk"

Microsoft will no longer support its Azure Container Service (ACS) as of January 31, 2020. For Kubernetes users, the Microsoft way forward is Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). It's a K8 world, after all
