A new setting in Excel gives users control over the automatic data conversion feature that forced scientists to rework symbols representing human genes. All the other "features" that wreck your data remain
When in doubt, add another checkbox in the settings pages

Those are films, Kent. That would never happen in real life. /s
Most of the people forget that what today is written as a science fiction story can in the future be written as "yesterday news".
And there are more than enough examples to reassure this affirmation.

A documentary shows how easy it is to bypass Amazon's buying and selling safeguards. I imagine it's less filling, but probably doesn't taste great
Or should I be making an "American/Canadian beer joke here?"

A very unusual chip design provides a distinct approach to cutting AI's energy cost. Are they calling it the HAL?

That probably has something to do with Intel's CEO(?) saying that an upcoming Windows release will help them out.

New technique produces lots of bitflips and could one day help form an attack. Even more to worry about: when you flip bits, it's not 50:50
Ah, callbacks. The mark of ... something

That study is actually flawed in that it has the flipper catch the coin. As a teenager I got bored and discovered I could control my own coin flips to about 90% accuracy when I caught the coin.

Cybersecurity researchers from Malwarebytes recently discovered a campaign hijacking Google Ads being served to people searching for Notepad++, a popular word editing software. BadNews++
Fortunately, no one needs to search for it, as everyone has it installed already.

Bit of a misleading headline. The text editor hasn't been "infected"; it's Google Ads once again being abused to serve up malware to anyone who dares use Google Search to actually search for something.
It's almost as if Google care more about ad revenue than the safety of their users.

Boomers are often reviled for hoarding the world’s resources, but they’re also dominating their descendants in their cyber defences. That's because they've already been hacked in every way, so they're more cautious
