A group of current and former employees at artificial intelligence (AI) companies, including Microsoft-backed, opens new tab OpenAI and Alphabet's, opens new tab Google DeepMind on Tuesday raised concerns about risks posed by the emerging technology. Yeah, but what do they know about it?

Windows Recall takes a screenshot every five seconds. Cybersecurity researchers say the system is simple to abuse—and one ethical hacker has already built a tool to show how easy it really is. I'm a little shocked that it's taken this long
Hopefully they don't dump this beyond the paywall. It isn't as I post this.

Instead of just showing who has been assigned what task, now Asana says its AI tool can do the assigning or reach out to fill in missing information. Because I'm sure there are people at work that you'd like to tell what to do

To help developers build, learn and grow, we are creating the Google Developer Program. They can't cancel this one, can they?
I jest, of course they can. But maybe we can use it while it's still available.

Nearly eight in 10 (79%) have been told to downplay the severity of potential risks, and fully 80% said that only by experiencing a serious cybersecurity incident would the board be more alert to potential risks. Something about closing barn doors after the network is hacked

The problem I am seeing is that while this is rising to the top as a concern, the what to do about it and how is more complicated and the best of the scanners I've seen is still very much wanting.

Microsoft has officially deprecated NTLM authentication on Windows and Windows servers, stating that developers should transition to Kerberos or Negotiation authentication to prevent problems in the future. Not Too Locked M'kay?
Sorry, struggling with that one.

As if the other things were not going to give any problem... yeah, right!

Huh? I thought NTLM had been depreciated about a decade ago. Seriously, Windows Vista and later don't use it by default.

The DuckDB team is very happy to announce that today we’re releasing DuckDB version 1.0.0, codename “Snow Duck” (anas nivis). It's up to you to decide if it's all it's quacked up to be
sorry about that
For those wondering about the point (as I was):
"DuckDB has no external dependencies, neither for compilation nor during run-time. For releases, the entire source tree of DuckDB is compiled into two files, a header and an implementation file, a so-called “amalgamation”. This greatly simplifies deployment and integration in other build processes. For building, all that is required to build DuckDB is a working C++11 compiler."

It feels a bit dirty.

That's actually a point

Yup. From their docs, it looks like that’s what they’re targeting to replace.

They have a fiduciary duty to chase AAPL as hard and fast as possible.
I guess that necessarily means sacrificing any bits of integrity as a matter of competition.
I still blame AAPL more.

If they get rid of OOBE\BYPASSNRO as the article suggests might be coming, that will leave me unable to install Windows 11 on my work machines. Zero, no chance, impossible to do since my machines are air-gapped systems. Hopefully someone with a big enough $tick will beat them about the head.
