Exactly how old is that SQL Server on which your business depends? SELECT vulnerability FROM sys_servers WHERE version <= 2012
As long as they're not connected to the internet, you _should_ be fine-ish.
Of course, this scan was exposed SQL Servers. Hopefully we don't have another Slammer.

While this is a large number, this pay plan was actually very simple:
Elon Musk would receive a small salary - as in comparable to what a middle manager at most fortune 100 companies would receive. The huge numbers only applied if Tesla's market capitalization hit certain thresholds, and then they were in the form of stock and not cash.
The common wisdom in 2018 was that Tesla would never reach any of these market capitalization thresholds. Therefore, the risk was entirely on Musk's side and none of the side of the shareholders.

I like my integrated development environment. But sometimes my IDE does things for me, and I have no idea how it’s doing them. That's a problem. No. Next question.

same stupid Microsoft, same stupid feds. Remember back when Hillary was SoS, and the department needed to update their secure laptops. They awarded the contract to Lenovo. Some brave soul pointed out that this is a Chinese company and likely a very bad idea.
Microsoft sorry? Highly unlikely. Same old stupid stuff - more worried about advertising in their OS rather than security. Now, three days ago, this was posted: https://www.cnbc.com/2024/06/13/microsoft-employees-cybersecurity-work-will-factor-into-their-pay.html[^]
So, Microsoft consorts with the CCP and PLA while simultaneously telling their employees that they will be held accountable. What idiot is running the ship?

Good news for call center operators who are worn down by hostile customers with unreasonable demands—artificial intelligence technology can alter angry voices into calm ones. Or... (crazy talk here, please bear with me) you could not treat your customers like the stuff stuck to the bottom of your shoe?
And also, don't yell at the customer service people. They're not to blame.

The industry seems ripe for a new video site. I wonder if one of the many cloud providers might set one up to show how great they are at scaling and streaming?

Which one?
Arnold or Collin?
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

Ars Technica has had a few very interesting articles about this. My previous remark calling it a debacle seems to be an understatement. For their CEO to proclaim security is their highest priority and then to come up with this is completely clueless of them, to put it lightly. If I were him there would be a LOT of bonuses withheld, if not terminations. It is entirely inexcusable. That is, if his proclamation had any truth to it at all and considering this is Microsoft that is uncertain, at best.
