Microsoft is automatically installing the WebView2 runtime on Windows 10 machines to support upcoming versions of the Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Office applications. I'm sure that no one will use it for incorrect purposes
I guess technically it's never incorrect if they use it intentionally?

I hope that means that they'll also upgrade Outlook's html viewer to use something newer than a 20+ year old rendering engine.
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?

Access management outfit BeyondTrust has urged organizations to remove admin rights from users, arguing that doing so would have at least mitigated more than 100 vulnerabilities in Microsoft products last year. I wonder what else would have stopped 100 vulnerabilities in Microsoft products last year?

Because Linux never has serious security vulnerabilities, right?
Or if it does, the fact that it's open source means they don't survive for long, right?
Whoops![^]

Back in 1921, Dr. Charles P. Steinmetz, the pioneering inventor and mathematician, was published in a Massachusetts newspaper predicting what the fantastical world of 2021 would look like. Better than my guesses about 2121, probably (except about the rampaging zombies)

Turns out we're not very good at balancing speed and quality – so says a report from the Consortium for Information and Software Security. "Good, fast, cheap. Choose two."
And it does seem to be a different study from the last study that found exactly this. How odd.

Microsoft is saying a 'rotation of keys' that handle authentication was to blame for a roughly 14-hour Azure outage that took down Office 365, Dynamics 365, Xbox Live and other Microsoft services on March 15. It said it right there in the title - 'cloud authentication'
OK, "Active Directory", but have we ever had a distributed auth system that worked all the time? (since - and including - Passport)

India will propose a law banning cryptocurrencies, fining anyone trading in the country or even holding such digital assets, a senior government official told Reuters in a potential blow to millions of investors piling into the red-hot asset class. If you outlaw bitcoin, only outlaws will...oh, wait.
