Isn't that always the way though? (although I am surprised they even included Canada)

Apparently Canada is THE place to be if Trump wins the election.

Won't Trump attack Canada for being too liberal or thinking it's Iraq or simply just because?
It's also safe to talk about Trump in any forum on CP, at least it's not politics

I am surprised they are not looking at it as a virtual monitor. that way get a great market for people that want to have the advantage of a massive display without having to have a massive display.

I've always considered the holographic monitor to be the next really big thing in computing. This idea almost makes it!

A recent survey found that while developers are into newer languages like Swift, Rust, and Scala, businesses prefer the stalwarts -- and Python can bridge the gap between the two If you know where it's broke...
You mean, companies don't jump to newer languages like F# to rewrite their stuff? Irony!
OK, not Irony, but I needed to tie it to the brand of previous threads.

Businesses stick with Windows XP, IE8 or even older, XML, COBOL...
No wonder though, every change, no matter how small, must be presented in threefold and pass five layers of management.
Meanwhile management is playing golf
They've given such companies a name too... The enterprise! *dramatic music for effect* (not to be confused with the spaceship from Star Wars, Gandalf will not have it)

hahahaha. Speak of the devil. My C# code is being re-written by the newbies in F# because what I wrote isn't "beginner-friendly" enough.

When it comes to the practicality of hiring engineers and maintaining code, you have four choices: C, C++, C# and Java. Anything else WILL cost you more money and you'll likely end up porting it.

The flaw, which allows a malicious website to extract user passwords, is made worse if a user is logged in with a Microsoft account. Originally found in 1997. Maintained for ... backward compatibility?

Quote: There's a simple mitigation, according to the group. Don't use Internet Explorer, Edge, or Microsoft Outlook, and don't log in to Windows with a Microsoft account.
Chrome and Firefox users aren't affected. As most of the world already does.

"To exploit this, a hacker has to trick a user into visiting a specially-crafted web page in Internet Explorer or Edge (on Windows 10) that points to their own network share."
So the suggestion is to not log into Windows with a Microsoft account. Did they read their own writing? (Not using IE or Edge is basically a "no sh*t Sherlock" statement.)

Battery status indicators are being used to track devices, say researchers from Princeton University – meaning warnings of privacy exposure have come to pass Better be safe and remove it

Ok. What does CP battery status says about my S7? 60%, Right... Your are the winner!

Quote: The combination of battery life as a percentage and battery life in seconds provides offers 14m combinations, providing a pseudo-unique identifier for each device. pseudo-unique? As in, non-unique? Only 14 million identifiers to cover several billion individual phones? Right, that's useful. I'm scared.

According to statistics there are more than 1.5 billion (9 zeroes) mobile devices - so a 1.4 million (6 zeroes) distribution will identify you with a probability of 1 to 1000 only...
Now take in account that the API not able to distinguish between charging battery or no battery (both represented by charging = true and chargingTime = 0)...
So that adds all the desktop computers to the pack, which doubles (at least) the number and lowers the probability of proper identification to 1 to 2000...
There is nothing like science determinate to prove something...

What I am most worried about is the government. I suspect by this time anybody that wants to take down the government knows better than to use cell phones. too many cases of when they were taken down with their cell phones have been reported in the news so now the government can only go after normal citizens. Unfortunately I have a lot I have made against US policy. Probably never get another clearance.
