True.
Someone should make a look-up table to help with that.

OpenVPN is the backbone of online security. Well, they did say it's 'open' right in the name

Yup.
Even sportsmen, who ain't best known for their IT skills, know the difference between "open" and "private".

Microsoft’s rise to the top position as a software company was truly fantastical and so has been its litany of failures. "We went overboard on management and forgot about leadership."

Wow.
I'd never have expected that.
I thought it was all just bad luck.

Subdomain currently in the possession of a German security researcher, preventing any abuse. No one used that feature anyway?

But going from bad to bad is not a net loss, so ms management doesn't give a toss.
How about a quick show of hands for who disabled live tiles immediately after they saw them?

In a step toward its goal of building out a data science development stack for web browsers, Mozilla today detailed Pyodide, an experimental Python project that’s designed to perform computation without the need for a remote kernel ... it's better than JavaScript?
I was also going to go with, "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could that they didn’t stop to think if they should.", but I decided to throw it a bone.
Yeah, not really "adding Python to browsers", just a "fiddle" tool.

That's certainly a low challenge to meet. I'm not sure how they could make it easier on themselves except perhaps comparing to vbscript instead.

An IoT message from a group of computer scientists from Princeton University and University of California, Berkeley: "Our smart devices are watching us. It's time for us to watch them." "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?"
Sadly Mac-only at the moment, but they might get better.

If you include smart kitchen appliances, smart light bulbs, smart doors, smart windows, smart garden watering, etc., I can see how you'd pass the limit. You'd have to be a serious IoT-head, though.

Yeah just going all in on smart lightbulbs in a large home or even a medium sized one with a bunch of multi-bulb fixtures could do it.

The companies say they will dismiss all pending litigation worldwide. How about we skip this, and both go mess with Intel?
