Artificial intelligence appears to be "widening inequality," and its deployment should be subject to tough regulations and limits, especially for sensitive technologies such as facial recognition, a research report said Thursday. "No 9000 computer has ever made a mistake or distorted information. We are all, by any practical definition of the words, foolproof and incapable of error."

It may seem that the big names of tech are eager to embrace -- and to be seen embracing -- Linux, but Google is being a little selective. So, it's not the Year of Linux Browsing?

Top comment on that site is someone saying the block list is due to browser/os combinations not supporting any current and secure crypto standards.
Assuming that person is correct, Google is entirely in the right to be blocking those browsers. Their error message could be improved though to make the reason for the block explicit.
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?

Remember how Microsoft said that Windows 10 Mobile definitely reached end of support on December 10? That was perhaps a little too enthusiastic on its part, as end of life is now scheduled for January of 2020. Now the remaining person with a Windows 10 Mobile has more time to find a replacement

Motherboard saide: Enter The Eye: a pet project of a man who calls himself the Archivist, whose obsession with cataloging the ever-shifting, impermanent history of the internet has ranged from archiving a petabyte of porn and the entirety of Instagram to preserving 80 gigabytes of old Apple videos deleted by YouTube.
In breaking news, his family is using the above information to have him committed.

Find in Files is one of the most commonly used features in Visual Studio. It’s also a feature that gets a substantial amount of feedback, and due to the age of the code, has been very costly to improve. "But I still haven't found what I'm looking for"

• HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem
• Open or add the DWORD NtfsDisableEncryption
• Set it to one.
Then you'll at least force them to have to install independent encryption software, before they can do the nasty (which mitigates the risk substantially). The trade-off is that you will also have to use third-party encryption services, if you want to encrypt files/discs (like, big deal).
It's a really new feature, which has only been around since win 2000, so it's small wonder that it's not much talked about (by shlock-horror sites like zdnet).

Interesting! But I presume this only prevents encryption by Windows (such as using a Windows security certificate)? Don't Ransomware encrypt data files using their own encryption utility? In other words: They don't rely on Windows internals to do the encryption?
Thanks for posting this!
