Seventeen-year-old Benjamin Choi put his spare time during the pandemic to good use designing an accessible device that doesn’t require brain surgery When I was 17, I had the high score on Bosconian
Invention/video games. Potato/potato
"Choi has also won awards in the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair, the Microsoft Imagine Cup, and the National At-Home STEM Competition. He received a manufacturing grant in October 2020 from PolySpectra, Inc., a company that produces durable 3-D printed materials, to produce his arm."

Bluesky, Twitter’s open-source offshoot, has released early code for a decentralized social network protocol. Do you have to open source the hate and anger as well?
Or are there other purposes to Twitter?

Microsoft's in-house anti-malware product can really hit lower end Windows systems bad Then just buy a faster machine?

Since Defender gets top scores for protection and protection accuracy (low false positive/low missed rate) I'm not sure slightly lower performance scores are that important. As an IT Director I'd rather have better and more accurate protection than low impact that allows malware onto my systems.

Although EF Core seems to be the most popular ORM in the .NET world in these days – and I for sure won’t contradict it – there are still some functionality missing, specially if we compare it with other ORMs that also exist. Some men just like to see their data wrapped

I have no interest in ORMs. I have my own DAL code that works great, and readily supports stored procs, it's fast, and it doesn't have a 6mb (or more) disk footprint.

SpyCloud's 2022 Identity Exposure Report found that 70% of breached passwords are still in use and 64% of users have had more than one password exposed in the last year. It's not like they'll be breached again, will they?
It's reverse psychology - 'they' know that 'we' know they're breached, so 'they' know 'we' won't use them. So it's safe for us to use!
Logic!

The only good thing to come out of it was persuading me to finally stop looking at Twitter.

If I have to create a user and log in to use some primitive service - say, read the sea water temperature at resort so-and-so, I make a user 'myself123' with 'password' as a password.
OK, I know it is risky. Someone else might steal that 'myself123' identity and that 'password' access code, and that way pretend it was 'myself123' (aka. me) remotely reading the sea water temperature at some later time.
Those presenting 'sensational' news about bad passwords should by law be required to filter those sensational findings against a list of non-identifying user names.

And the "quality" of the site, yes. Having a password breach at a site that shows the sea water temperature certainly isn't equivalent to a bank password breach. Looking at the breaches for one of my accounts, I'm not overly afraid:
- Dailymotion
- Dropbox (I'd worry about this one if it actually had any files)
- Lord of the Rings Online
- Open Subtitles
- QuinStreet (also not a great one - after going, "Who?!", seems it's CodeGuru, WebDeveloper, and similar sites. As I never go there anymore, seems not a problem)
- Roll20

I new there was some logic behind this type of thinking but it had escaped me until you cleared it up for us.
