So they have a chance to retire the Bing name and come up with something a little less silly and...they don't. Three cheers for focus group product names.

Microsoft has invested in the security of open-source software for many years and today I’m excited to share that Microsoft is joining industry partners to create the Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF), a new cross-industry collaboration hosted at the Linux Foundation. Good job everyone, security's been fixed!
Or will be really soon as the foundation cleans stuff up.

So this time around the (Charlie)Fox(trot) is not just getting inside, but helping to build the hen house. What could possibly go wrong.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Microsoft and Apple can thank Bill English's work on the mouse for computer interfaces they introduced in the 1980s. Double-click to pay respects

The company plans to eventually phase out third-party cookies in the Chrome browser All the spying you're used to, with a spiffy new name!

Shame, shame! They aren't spying, they are observing [for your benefit.]

Changing to a proprietary token allows them not only continue selling the info they slurp from us (and probably slurp even more in the new era) but to charge other companies that want to slurp too.

Of course the fact that hundreds of millions of lazy users who have cookie nuking tools/practices won't notice they have to do something different to deal with the new sPyVeRtIzEr TrAcKeRs has nothing to do with this.

Chrome OS will run Android and Windows apps side by side By just relabeling Windows laptops?

And I thought that MS adopting Linux or Chromium was weird...
Now Android is adopting Windows... ??
I only hope this is not the beginning of a possible fusion to create the biggest mega-corporation that will reduce the world governments to mere play toys and do what they want (even more than now) with us.

The patches were intended to close a newly discovered vulnerability in the GRUB2 boot manager called BootHole. That's one way to stop your boot system from getting hacked
|
|
|
|

Another possibility to patch it for some people could be to stick their heads in their BootHole

In June the creator of the C++ programming language, 69-year-old Bjarne Stroustrup, appeared on YouTube’s channel on behalf of the Association for Computing Machinery’s Special Interest Group on Programming Languages. "I get a little bit sad when I hear people talk about C++ as if they were back in the 1980s"
Yeah, sorry. Nothing to add here.

Best quote: “I’m not a great fan of template meta-programming. It is ugly, complicated, and so useful that sane people will do it despite its problems..." - Stroustrup
