And ditto for comparable software such as web browsers. Look at their release notes.

The planned unplugging is part of a cyber war-gaming exercise to make sure Russia can still operate even if it is disconnected from outside its borders. "Have you tried turning it off and on again?"

I'd settle for just disconnecting twitter from Delaware County.

A security vulnerability has been disclosed for a flaw in runc, Docker and Kubernetes' container runtime, which can be used to attack any host system running containers. Hurrah for isolation

Do you miss the days of being able to run a simpler operating system such as Windows 95 and to use it to run some popular games like Doom, Wolfensteing 3D, and Grand Prix Circuit? Even better do you want to run it on newer operating systems like Linux, macOS, and Windows 10? And it's in Electron, so it uses twice as much memory as the original

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?

I just found an old laptop running Windows XP, even more remarkable is that I remembered the password. Now how can I upgrade it to a reasonable OS?

Like a scene from a James Bond or Mission Impossible movie, a new offensive USB cable plugged into a computer could allow attackers to execute commands over WiFi as if they were using the computer's keyboard. Time for a little dab of epoxy
Fortunately, "This cable is not currently for sale, but Grover hopes to sell it to other security researchers in the future."

Well, given that this tool seems to have been given a green light, I think I'll start working on safe-cracking tools.
Had I known that making tools that are specifically for use in committing crimes is OK, I'd have put my best designer's hat on and cornered the market.

Teaching Computer Science at school just got easier as Microsoft is making a 30-hour curriculum, targeted at students in the age range 11 to 16, available as a free download. I'm guessing it's a block-oriented language?
