A bug in Windows 10 allowed UWP apps (Universal Windows Platform) to have access to the entire file system in Windows without permission from the user. This could have allowed a malicious app to access any data stored on the computer without the knowledge or consent of the user. No one could have seen that coming!

Actually, it wasn't a bug. It was tightly coupled to Candy Crush.

Classified as low-risk, as almost no one uses UWP apps.

Inherently demonstrates that Microsoft has no clue about security. None, nada, zilch. Why even bother having an elephanting firewall, antivirus, etc when the OS engineers f'uup this bad?
What's scary are the holes and features we don't even know about.

Well that's one way to make sure the rat is dead.
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?

Neuroscientists know a lot about how our brains learn new things, but not much about how they choose what to focus on while they learn. Now, researchers have traced that ability to an unexpected place. Music lyrics and trivia? Check. Important stuff? Nah

I definitely found that interesting. I didn't know the AA was tied up in mystical hogwash, and that this had been allowed to influence mainstream treatment of alcoholics in the US. They have my sympathy.
