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.

That was my first thought when I saw it in the news here.
My second thought was "What is Ken going to say about it?"

I just hope that the hackers figure out which service is responsible for taking the screenshots, so that we can disable that one.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

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

I wouldn't like to, but there for sure are some than definitively need "someone" telling them what to do, and even then...

A study has found that projects adopting Agile practices are 268 percent more likely to fail than those that do not. "Fail fast"

Agile is a methode, but when it is taken as a religion... fail is not only expected but deserved.

Dr Junade Ali, author of Impact Engineering, said: "With 65 percent of projects adopting Agile practices failing to be delivered on time, it's time to question Agile's cult following.
"And the truth will set you free."
If that's how they're judging failure I'm really going to have to read about this Impact Engineering and how it is that it manages to figure out an appropriate timeline for an undefined and undefinable deliverable which is what I think 90% of the world deals with... "We'll know it when we see it".

Windows 10 development is about to get interesting, as the operating system is no longer on the back burner. Give the people what they want
|
|
|
|

They need more places to place ads for Windows 11.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

Quote: Microsoft’s approach has changed, and it wants to empower every computer, even those running Windows 10.
No, no. They want to backport some of their best spying features because not enough people are switching to 11.

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.

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.
