Microsoft has neutered a large-scale fraud campaign that used knock-off domains and malicious apps to scam customers in 62 countries around the world. Six domains down, six billion to go...
Also, OAuth is helpful for the bad guys as well. Whodathunkit?

The Chinese Yutu-2 rover found something interesting on the surface of the moon that has puzzled scientists, and the mystery has finally been solved. Just don't bring it back to Earth. I've seen that movie.

How does the brain filter out distractions and enable us to focus on the task at hand? This is really interesting... Do I smell donuts?

Researchers have found that people who work desk-based jobs are less likely to experience cognitive decline as they age compared to others who work physically active jobs. The catch is usually just under the seat - it lets you recline more in the chair

Are they suggesting that desk jockeys aren't physically active jobs? I've had to dodge stress balls, walk to and from the rest room/snack area, avoid meetings and eye contact with fellow co-workers and who knows how many miles my fingers put on in a day hitting Ctrl C/Ctrl V from stack overflow...other coding sites.
I'd like to see a construction worker do that, they get to suntan all day on the side of the road watching someone that gets paid more than them drive a big machine around.
(note: construction workers are wonderful people, no offense should be taken by this comment.)

Google says Tsunami is an extensible network scanner for detecting high-severity vulnerabilities with as little false-positives as possible. Not sure if it scans darkly or not
Sorry, brain is elsewhere at the moment (it's supposed to be in a meeting. Not sure where it's wandered off to.)

Google makes progress in enabling Flutter to be used to create desktop apps for Linux, macOS and Windows. My heart is a-flutter

A MacOS for the fanboys,

And a Flutter to rule them all and bind them to the dark lord

Today, Intel announced Thunderbolt 4, it's newest connectivity standard. You might recall that the company is actually letting go of Thunderbolt 3, with its 40Gbps speeds being offered up to USB 4.0. "Very, very frightening me."

One of my senior-guy hobbies is to maintain a list of different standards and formats I have been working with, all since my teenage years. It covers everything from document formats to dry cell batteries and silver film formats. The size of the list is shocking - every section of it! (and it has made me think of the term "standard" in a quite different way than I did before)
Some of the entries refer to flopping standards. There are a number of standards I considered so seriously that I have decided that they deserve to be mentioned as considered but rejected - I was very close to invest in them, and partially did. E.g. years ago, I bought external disks for long time archival with both USB and FireWire800 interface, just in case USB died out, and I got a FW800 card for my PC. But the disks were never plugged in to anything but the USB port.
For now, I am not even considering TB. I can manage very well with USB3 for disks, HDMI for the screen, while waiting to see if TB4 will be the same great worldwide success as TB1, 2 and 3 was

In this blog post I’m going to focus on building a desktop app with WinUI 3 Preview 1 and .NET, leaving C++ for future posts. Try it before they try "fixing" it again
Fixing as in pets, not plumbing.

Hardware drivers still appear to be causing havoc for users trying to upgrade to Windows 10 version 2004. I'm sure a lot of people would like to know what settings to use here

Not only "what", I suppose the "where (the ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) are they)" is a loved question too.
On a second thought... The needed ones are probably the ones that won't be available anymore after the merge of control panel and settings

While the latest TIOBE Index of programming language popularity isn't earth-shaking -- focusing on an all-time high for statistical language R -- perhaps the the biggest surprise is this: Classic Visual Basic (VB6) is still in the top 20. I know many of you were worried for its well-being
Sorry, I can't seem to stop reading the reports about the monthly Tiobe random-list generator output

Totally inept output by entropy?
I'm sure there is a better one - please enlighten me.
