The Google Security Blog has waded into the controversy about Google’s changes to the Web Request API, painting it as part of the fight Google is engaging in to keep web users safe. It's a well known fact that you need to see advertisements to stay healthy
Personally, I'm a believer in homeopathic advertisements - I get more health benefit by seeing fewer of them

This is an example of why I feel it is not healthy for so many browsers to rely on Google's technology.
As a Firefox user, I frequently find Google properties, including those embedded in other pages (Maps for example), failing to work. I strongly suspect that these are deliberately kludged, to help enforce a monoculture.

That's good; will force more people to block that nonsense at the OS-level.
Combine that with the recent malware they served up, and it is rather obvious that anything served by Google should not be trusted.

That wasn't malware!
by google's definition, "malware" is anything that prevents them milking every last penny out of everyone.
It's things like ad-blockers that are malware!

A customized hosts file is a wonderful thing. That keeps people much safer than google does or will.

At least 3.4 billion fake emails are sent around the world every day, according to a new report from email verification company Valimail, with the majority of suspicious emails coming from US-based sources. And people say that email is dead

The beta news click-baiters obviously don't understand what SPAM is.
There are actually about 500,000 what-they-call "fake" e-mails sent per day.
If the mailing list is 100,000,000,000,000,000 people, it's still only one e-mail.
The only reason it's hard to stop it is that, every day, another bunch of 14-year-olds (mainly from the US -- the numbers don't lie) come to believe that they can become the next Internet millionaires by spamming.

It includes updates for compiling assemblies for improved startup, optimizing applications for size with linker and EventPipe improvements. Not to be confused with .NET Framework 3, Adobe Preview 1.3, or the 2003 movie, "The Core"
Plus news for WPF fans. There might be a few out there.

Oh good, thought might be a Core 3 movie, I was worried for a second as I had not seen Core 2.

I honestly thought there was a Core 2. My initial blurb was going to be something about finished the trilogy finally. I wonder what bad movie I thought was the sequel?

NASA needed a supercomputer to get us to the Moon, and it had to be generations ahead of the state of the art at the time. 73kB ought to be enough for everyone?
Well, you may have heard about it, but odds are you have never wrote code in anger for it.

Google has long offered syncing between Google Photos and Google Drive, but it’s putting an end to that in the name of simplicity. Even more simple? Keep them on your own hard drive
|
|
|
|

The real reason?
Because server space is expensive, and they realised that 99.999% of the photos were of no use for either advertising or training AIs,
