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.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

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.

Aye, I think I would have problems setting up a working C++11 compiler.

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.
Be wary of strong drink. It can make you shoot at tax collectors - and miss.

I think they'll always be selling something that would do that... for the US gov't if nothing else.
I can't figure they'd tell other entities 'no' if the price is right.

I'm hoping their big enterprise customers tell them to keep OOBE\BYPASSNRO. It's critical in enterprise environments where networks are heavily locked down.

oh joy... The dullards are at it again. There is simply no purpose for an online account other than to collect data. If you as a user want to make sure of coordinated services - knock yourself out. Forcing users? I say again, air strike.
