The biggest tech companies in the world are quietly lobbying the governments of 14 countries to grant them legal protection from any regulatory oversight. Admittedly not the best article, but potentially an interesting jumping off point for discussion or consideration.

Windows’ default file management tool, File Explorer, has a preview pane. Windows users may toggle it with the keyboard shortcut Alt-P or the selection of View > Preview Pane. View the contents of a file without even opening it? Yes please.

I actually use it quite often. Specially when I start bringing order to my incoming scan folder or after a backup of the pics of my phone.

Yes, I use it. It's often quicker than opening the file if I just want to quickly check something.

This is a rhetorical question, right? Surely everyone uses the Preview in File Explorer (when it works).

Apple employees will reportedly be restricted from using ChatGPT and other artificial intelligence tools. ChatGPT, what do you think? "As an AI language model, I don't have personal thoughts or opinions." Don't believe its lies.

Because they don't trust in its "intelligence" or because they don't trust in its discretion?

This article will help you understand SQL indexes if you fall into the first two groups. If you know a lot about indexes, this article will help you organize your knowledge and remind you about good practices. SQL is a declarative language meaning it tells the database what we want to do but not how to achieve it. A deep dive into indexes in the PostgreSQL database.

Cybercriminals are starting to target Microsoft's VSCode Marketplace, uploading three malicious Visual Studio extensions that Windows developers downloaded 46,600 times. Basically if you're looking to beautify VSCode, be wary.

Microsoft or the criminals?
I'd start with Microsoft. This issue of Microsoft tools circumventing any sort of security has always been the height of MS' problems. Since they don't have to pay for the damage, they don't care.
Remember when you could not get a virus by reading an email? Then MS enabled html by default, because "we decided our users wanted a more interactive experience".
Then we can get into all of the macro programming in office that was implemented with no security considerations at all. etc.

Both. And technically, Forrest Gump's mother said that 
But seriously, with as much stuff as MS has to fix because of internal errors and self-induced security flaws, you would think they would have learned by now. A long time ago, someone mentioned to me that maybe MS left holes in the OS to encourage people to use their AV software.

Back then I would even believe it.
Nowadays I think Occam's razor fits better. Don't look for malicious practices when you can just find idiocy, incompetent management, bad programing structure and laziness.

A new study led by Stanford Medicine researchers is the first to reveal how magnetic stimulation treats severe depression: by correcting the abnormal flow of brain signals. Those with the most severe depression — and the most misdirected brain signals — were the most likely to benefit from the treatment.

Whattayaknow, Star Trek and Dr. Who were right! You just have to reverse the polarity.
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.
