VISA says it's aware of POS malware being deployed on the networks of five North American fuel dispenser merchants. Acronym is also useful to describe the people doing this

I get my exercise when I refuel my car and actually walk inside and pay the cashier...
It would be helpful to know which of the merchants have been affected though

The latest version of Chrome has already automatically rolled out to hundreds of millions of users around the world and is causing some serious problems for Android users. They didn't just cancel it? They're getting better.

"The problem stems from Chrome 79 switching the location it stores web data and a failed migration process has caused this data to be lost"
Non-dependent copy & delete operations, betcha -- if the copy operation fails, the delete operation isn't cancelled (the very reason why I stopped using Total Commander on android).
This is quite obviously one of the many, many negative results of google's fanatical "only hire people who are under 25" policy.

Somewhere, we lost empathy for our end users and other developers. Maybe it is time to change that. "I'd rather be a hammer than a nail"
"Our job as developers is not to make it easy for us. Our job is to build things that make it easier for people to do things."

As organisations shift to becoming technology-focused, developers’ roles have evolved so that they are now playing a crucial role in decision making across their businesses. However, all this newfound alignment isn’t so keenly felt across the whole developer workforce… Never mix Neutral Evil and Lawful Good in the same party

It seems to me that the devs always get the last say in which coffee machines to hire.
That's about as business-critical as business-critical gets!

Artificial intelligence appears to be "widening inequality," and its deployment should be subject to tough regulations and limits, especially for sensitive technologies such as facial recognition, a research report said Thursday. "No 9000 computer has ever made a mistake or distorted information. We are all, by any practical definition of the words, foolproof and incapable of error."

It may seem that the big names of tech are eager to embrace -- and to be seen embracing -- Linux, but Google is being a little selective. So, it's not the Year of Linux Browsing?

Top comment on that site is someone saying the block list is due to browser/os combinations not supporting any current and secure crypto standards.
Assuming that person is correct, Google is entirely in the right to be blocking those browsers. Their error message could be improved though to make the reason for the block explicit.
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?

Policemen should be above reproach, and google most certainly is not, so it should not be trusted to police anything.

Remember how Microsoft said that Windows 10 Mobile definitely reached end of support on December 10? That was perhaps a little too enthusiastic on its part, as end of life is now scheduled for January of 2020. Now the remaining person with a Windows 10 Mobile has more time to find a replacement

Why do it smells to some bug in the chain, that can't get closed without breaking something else and they need time to fix it?
