Here's hoping someone at Microsoft will send this to the European Commission as this is a blatant violation of GDPR. Slack/SalesForce has sued Microsoft in the EC over Teams and this could easily be used to return the favor.

Using a virtual machine, Parker set up a Windows XP instance and configured it to be fully exposed with no firewall and no anti-virus software, just like the good old days. So, just like Windows 11?

This guy must have set up a Windows XP RTM system. XP SP2 and SP3 automatically turned on the firewall during installation and the XP ISOs I have have SP3 embedded.
Bottom line, don't let some "gamer" configure your system.

Probably. I couldn't be convinced to watch the YouTube video to find out. There probably weren't any cats in the video.

I know there weren't any cats in the video. They would have been smarter and used an XP ISO that contains SP2 or 3 built in.

Very true. I was just saying that I had little interest in watching the video to see if they were smart enough to do that. Personally, I doubt it, and the results seem to agree with that conclusion.

That's what I thought as well. Maybe there was a change that dropped some of the messages? Or the forum got renamed or something?

Some of the messages?
Based on the message ID, I'd guess around 4,652,136 of the blighters!

OK, so I finally read the article and I've seen this as well, even on YouTube. I tried to find the CSPAN video of Tory Bruno (CEO of ULA) sitting in front of a Congressional committee and telling them that SpaceX's plan to build reusable rockets would never work, and that if it did, would never be economically viable.

As orgs try out coding assistants, at least one CIO wants to see a coder with a philosophy degree. I code, therefore I am

Lucky for them, ChatGPT has them covered:
Me:
What is your philosophy on coding?
ChatGPT:
I believe coding is both an art and a science. It's about creativity, problem-solving, and logic all rolled into one. It's not just about writing lines of code; it's about crafting elegant solutions to complex problems.
Coding is a way to express ideas and bring them to life in the digital world. It's about building something meaningful, whether it's a simple script or a sophisticated application.
At its core, coding is about continuous learning and improvement. Technologies evolve, new languages emerge, and best practices change. So, it's essential to stay curious, stay adaptable, and always strive to deepen your understanding.
Ultimately, coding is a tool for empowerment. It empowers individuals to create, innovate, and make a positive impact on the world around them. Whether you're building software to solve a global challenge or just tinkering with a personal project, coding opens up a world of possibilities.

Google Search now has an option to search the "web," which is not the default anymore. They should try it. I hear it might be big one day.

And the default is... search in sponsors? Look who has paid us more? Just use us we need to slurp more of your data?

So glad I switched away from Google for search so many years ago.

I just switched to US in VPN and tied that search. I didn't get a web tab though. I also tried another search and it said AI not available.
Brave Search has an AI and Code summaries but each can be separately turned off in settings. However, I've so far found them to be more useful than not, and consistent with the source links. They are also displayed contextually, so not always present.
I imagine for people who want to use Google, but don't like this direction, they could use Startpage, which uses Google's web index. So you'll just get the Web tab in effect.
