Well MS recently released a hack for the bug that the windows installer only installed a browser download tool instead of Chrome.
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?

It sounds like MS is almost trying to take on the role of the Criminal Rehabilitation Social Worker from A Clockwork OrangePR Deltoid being a good friend to you as always, the one man in this sore and sick community who wants to save you from yourself.

In the next round, I guess they will go to a library to study fiction novels, discovering that the variation in book size is very little. All novels of some quality comes with (at least optionally) hard covers. They all have a colophon and a title page, and the kind of information presented in both is very uniform across a large number of books. A large number of novels have a list of chapters before the main contents. The main contents is very uniform: It almost without exception consists of letters put together as words, which are strung up as sentences. A handful of sentences make up a paragraph, and a sequence of paragraphs make up a chapter. The chapters usually have an identifier, which may be alphabetic, from a single word to a full sentence, or a positive integer, montonously incremented in steps of one.
I am quite sure that such a study could earn you an Ig-Nobel prize.

You may even be awarded a Nobel prize in Literature. Such an article would make better reading than much of the crap opuses that pass under that name these days.

They may as well have called that article, "We're Trying Hard to Justify or Existence".
Sites look more similar now because of "standards" that everyone seems to have more or less accepted, such as the "hamburger menu".

The botnet consisted solely of D-Link NAS and NVR devices and the botnet peaked at 10,000 bots in 2015. I know I've said that "everyone needs a hobby", but some people need better hobbies

I think in this case he didn't want "hobbies" but "boobies"

Maybe not. Some anime ranks among the best and most thought-provoking entertainment I've ever watched, and boobies were not prominent features: Princess Mononoke. Avatar: The Last Airbender, and most other Studio Ghibli productions. Akira, an all-time classic according to many, has little to do with boobies.

With this new update, you can select text with Lens, and tap “copy to computer” to quickly paste it on another signed-in device with Chrome. So those whiteboard discussions can be preserved?

Security has become enough of a drumbeat issue that its importance has trickled down from the CISOs through the security organization to software developers. Or phrased another way: Developers receiving blame for security issues (again)

No budget for it and we have a deadline to catch that is imposed by those CISO's.

Google's sister firm Sidewalk Labs has scrapped a plan to build a smart city in Canada, citing complications caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. I'd make a joke about "smart" and "Toronto" here, but no one would get it (plus it would be unfair. to Ottawa)

A hacker claims to have stolen over 500GB of data from Microsoft's private GitHub repositories, BleepingComputer has learned. 500GB? So they downloaded half of a PowerPoint presentation?
Seeing as how that org is used for open source projects (as opposed to Windows or docs), I'm not expecting bad stuff, but you never know.

500GB of new icons! Don't diminish the seriousness of this.
