Are they really telling this? If yes, it is like officially telling the world the gave a rat fat about people before.
I know, I know... we already knew that. But one thing is doing and another is telling the truth publicly

Professors are shifting away from syntax and emphasizing higher-level skills This will end well, won't it?
|
|

It's probably pretty good to shake stuff up if the focus has been on "syntax" instead of these higher-level skills they're gonna do now instead.
This does explain a lot.

An attempt by a Catholic advocacy group to spread the word of God using an AI model has backfired, and chat bot – Father Justin – has been pulled down and reworked. But Brawndo's got what parishioners crave. It's got electrolytes.
Edit: decided not to go with a direct quote, but a play on it instead

When marketers will strip mine the word of its meaning and won't cause jumps in sales just by uttering it. Then it will be another shiny misnamed thing.

So much for the human touch. The members of this advocacy group need to be removed from the Church for failing to heed the 2nd Commandment "You shall make no idols"

I am not clicking on that  but with all due respect, Jesus Christ. Just wow. And I'm not catholic.
Meanwhile, Microsoft updated my Windows 10 VM with the latest randomware, and the VM's network no longer works, and I am going to send Chuckie to their offices.

Starting with Windows 11 version 24H2, Microsoft's operating system requires ARM v8.1 to run. You have the right to bear ARM, just not on the new stuff

First link below the article:
"Why companies are leaving the cloud?"
My nice-to-have answer: Hopefully because common sense is getting wider in the C-Levels?
The probably answer: Because the greed of the cloud providers is too big and some companies have no other choice than to go back to something more predictable, like hosting own hardware?

Leaving the cloud?! Really? I wonder to what extent it's true, but I've always been amused by the centralized versus distributed manias. Mainframes => workstations => servers => desktops => The Cloud™.

So that old IBM CEO was right when he way back in the 1950s declared that "Europe will probably need no more than 3, maybe 4, clouds'.

Hubble Network has become the first company in history to establish a Bluetooth connection directly to a satellite — a critical technology validation for the company, potentially opening the door to connecting millions more devices anywhere in the world. The hardest part was pressing the pairing button on both satellites at the same time

The United Kingdom has introduced a new law that bans generic passwords on smart devices in order to protect consumers from cyber attacks. Let the users set the generic passwords instead
|
|
|
|
|
How do you enforce that? And what constitutes a "generic" password? Is "generic" itself a "generic" password.
I guess they could require password checks like the DoD does. We had to compare passwords to a dictionary and then make sure they had the "Two Upper, two lower, two digits, two specials" stuff and then make sure there weren't certain pattern like more that 3 consecutive ascending or descending digits, no set of three or more single characters ("aaa" or "lll" or "777").
STiGs was the DoD name for those type rules. It was a pain.
Also reminded me of the Howie Mandel cartoon Bobby's World. Their last name was spelled Generic but pronounced Jen-ur-ick.

A company I worked for had for a time similar restrictions with the passwords, additionally they would compare it to the last 10 passwords of you and check for "similarities" before accepting or rejecting the new password.
The policy got changed after a colleague got banned out of his own laptop in a project in the US where the company had to pay 10 or 15 very expensive days of delayment. My colleague got paid holidays until the new laptop arrived.

That's what I forgot, you couldn't reuse any of the last 12 passwords.
