... Is also better for you than sitting reading a book, watching the news, eating unneeded snack food, or doing many of the other things that people do on breaks.
So why not say: "Taking a walk during a break is good for you"? Why talk about only one of the things that is not as good for you as taking a walk?
It's called "intent to deceive".
Bullfacts[^] and their users annoy me.

Google has shut down a service it provided to wireless carriers globally that showed them weak spots in their network coverage, because of Google’s concerns that sharing data from users of its Android phone system might attract the scrutiny of users and regulators. Now the mobile companies will have to figure out where they don't have cell towers by themselves?

All you need to do is hire Barney from the Mission: Impossible team, Hardison from the Leverage team, or (might I add "the most ridiculous hacker in the history of low-Q entertainment") that really annoying woman from Arrow*.
... Or, of course Doctor Strange or Gandalf.
* No, not that really annoying woman from Arrow; the other one... No, not that one either! The... OK, let's just say "One of the many really annoying women from Arrow".

Harvard University researchers have developed a new powered exosuit that can make you feel as much as a dozen pounds lighter when walking or running. Can't it just go and do that walk for me?

Memo to the Harvard team
What about the repulsor rays and flight controls I also ordered?
If you want to keep your funding, get your fingers out of the back of your exo-shorts.

When unexpected crashes occur in your managed application you are often left with little evidence of the issue; capturing and analyzing memory dumps may be your last best option. Because nothing gets you past a slump, like digging in a dump

One might think financial institutions, such as banks, would have formidable levels of application security. Unfortunately, if one thought that, one would be wrong. It's not like they're playing with their money, after all

Security Boulevard said: 85 e-banking web applications failed GDPR compliance test
Well, that's rich, given that Security Boulevard is one of those sites that believe GDPR compliance means "bury the link to the privacy-options page deep in 20,000 words of of bullsh1t, and then still cover half of every page with a pop-up with an 'Accept' button".
Another one for the junk-heap of my hosts file.

They're not; they're playing with electronic credit. If something goes amiss, they lend a boatload of electronic money from another bank and continue the game.
