As much as 38 percent of the Internet’s domain name lookup servers are vulnerable to a new attack that allows hackers to send victims to maliciously spoofed addresses masquerading as legitimate domains, like bankofamerica.com or gmail.com. Sorry, it's not The Year of Fixing Linux yet

Microsoft is now rolling out a new media player that matches Windows 11's look and feel as a replacement for the Windows 10 Groove Music and (in the future) the legacy Windows Media Player app. This will get everyone to upgrade!
Looks...exactly like the old one to me.

Quote: For Windows Insiders who still use the legacy Windows Media Player, it will remain available in Windows Tools at least until Microsoft has included enough of its functionality and features in the new media player app for Windows 11.
So does this mean it will never replace their existing media players, or that it'll force replace WMP while missing some feature so fundamental that I end up using a 3rd party application instead? The history of every other attempt MS has made to replace a core Windows application guarantees that New Media Player will never be able to do everything WMP does.

I had this problem while working in the office. Now I can just ignore it, for the very reason that I don't have to wonder what my coworker next to me is doing chatting for an hour with another coworker, or where my boss is when I go to their office and they're not there.

In the past decade, the growth in low-code and no-code solutions—promising that anyone can create simple computer programs using templates—has become a multi-billion dollar industry that touches everything from data and business analytics to application building and automation. It's the worst form of programming, after all the others?

The new is well forgotten old. It's used to be called 4th Generation Languages - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth-generation_programming_language. I remember back in the 80-ies and early 90-ies working with DBase, Clipper, Userbase, FoxBase, ... They all waned away because while it's creates and expectation of easy development, it's incredibly hard to push the limits that are provided for you out of the box. The only thing changed is a platform - instead of personal computer or network, now it's browser and cloud. At the place I work for, we have over 4,000 Access DBs that were developed by end-user and dumped on IT when user moves to a better pastures, creating a situation that is impossible to manage long term. And that's not to say about the fact that most of low-code companies will go out of business all together, leaving you high and dry, lucky if you can preserve your virtual environment but without the support. Thanks - I'll just follow Art of War - “If you wait by the river long enough, the bodies of your enemies will float by.”

Good luck with that. Letting you run their platfarm locally instead of only in their cloud (Read "AWS or Azure, but priced about 10x as high and with worse QoS") would deny them the ability to harvest all your IT budget before going bust (read "Retire in luxury to a tropical island").

While i can easily imagine the pitfalls ahead for this, i keep in mind how Excel with VBA (replacing the swamp of writing macros) enabled a lot of intelligent people to be more productive. And, way back, was a ticket to lucrative work ... for me.
However, part of that Excel goodness was the ability to use the same Work/Books/Sheets and VBA on the Mac.
Can anything upcoming be as useful, as understandable, as Excel was/is ?

Microsoft's 'Project Reunion,' its development kit meant to bridge its various Windows development platforms, is here. "Come together, right now, over me"

This update cadence matches the same used by Windows 11, which will also introduce new features on an annual basis. I have to wait that long for icons?
With my sydlexia*, I read that first as 'Windows 11', and thought, "Didn't they already say that?" Then noticed that it was for 10. Which now makes me wonder if the long term result will be two Windows forward, or if they'll merge them back into a TPM-less version by 2025?
* It's like dyslexia, but it's named to drive pedants and the dyslexic mad.

I see it coming:
The worst of both versions will be running in the new iconized and coloured brand product, full of buzzword bingo crap and new features that nobody asked for and that will massivelly break functionality
