Microsoft announced today the 'Secure Future Initiative,' pledging to improve the built-in security of its products and platforms to better protect customers against escalating cybersecurity threats. "You made me promises, promises you knew you'd never keep"
I guess "Secure Development Initiative" worked for a while?

I pledge to give $1 billion to charity.
Whew, that took a lot of effort and moral gumption; congratulate me!

The U.S., the U.K., China and 25 other countries have signed a declaration stressing the need to address the potential risks posed by artificial intelligence. So, they promise to keep it a secret for 30 years?
(Like Bletchley Park)
Of course, it's the countries that aren't signing on that we have to worry about (as well as the companies)

Another meaningless document providing salaries for idealistic fools.

Quote: stressing the need to address the potential risks posed by artificial intelligence. The potential risks have been more than enough adressed in several good books and films.
I hope they did the declaration in soft paper, if not the one that uses it to wipe his botty will get even more lust to do the opposite.

Microsoft says a new known issue is causing desktop icons to behave erratically on systems with multiple displays when using the Windows Copilot AI-powered digital assistant. Copilot is my new desktop arranger
After all, who has multiple desktops these days - especially at Microsoft. They'd never think to test that.
Oh right, the 't' word.

Sounds like the AI found the old mid 1990's prank programs.
I had the book and diskette long long ago.
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.

Most people call an internet outage an annoyance. The researchers at USC's ANT Lab (Analysis of Network Traffic) call it a data point. "Every step you take I'll be watching you"

Finished software is software that’s not expected to change, and that’s a feature! You can rely on it to do some real work. All software is finished, some are just a little more done

Remember, Grasshopper, software is never complete. It is only released.

And sometimes, and evidenced by Windows Bob, it escapes.

Microsoft's Daniel Roth took to X (Twitter) to garner feedback on Blazor WebAssembly client-side debugging and received an earful in response, including complaints about associated Hot Reload functionality. More like lukewarm reload, maybe?

YouTube has launched a global front against ad-blocking extensions, taking a small experiment it began in June full-scale. Stay tuned for more, after this commercial break
There was some talk that switching your User Agent to Windows Phone[^] was defense, but I imagine they'll close that loophole pretty fast.

I recall an article you posted a few months ago about Google implementing a DRM-style validation for browsers, so that websites can be certain that users have not "tampered with" the browser in any way. This is just the sort of thing that it would be used for.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

And I wonder if Edge is also affected as it's Chrome guts?

Why do you think MS pushes Edge so hard?
Damn it - this was the perfect opportunity to use the old 'M$' symbol, and trigger everyone.
