I'm not sure - I can't remember seeing it before. Sounds like a plan, though.

Let my shame stay. Let people know what I did. Let the hand-waiving begin anew.

When it's posted to the insider forum, he links to the original in the newsletter. (I manage to get something I posted shared once a month or so.  ). IIRC he's occasionally used his powers of admin-edit to inject a blurb or better title in the original post. If the original was posted in the Lounge we just get a dupe here.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging 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?

That is so ancient news, and I'm not talking about the Leslie. I've known that for years, there was some documentary on that.
Which makes me wonder, how much money did they spend on a government report to tell us what we already knew?

Must've been part of the technology budget.

Quote: "The current state of terms and conditions for digital services is bordering on the absurd," said Finn Myrstad from the Norwegian Consumer Council.
"Their scope, length and complexity mean it is virtually impossible to make good and informed decisions."
As a suggestion, to be an informed consumer, I'd advise simply assuming they say to "bend over and grab your ankles" until an expose is published somewhere proving that - regardless of what is or isn't written in the T&C - by using the service you are doing so.

That means they're smarter than me for reading those, or I'm smarter than them for not reading them. Who knows.

Just because millennials grew up with technology doesn’t mean they’re actually smarter about how they use it. If anything, they appear to be more careless when it comes to online security. Yea, but how many elderly people made a throwaway McDonald's account that one time just to get 5 cents off an apple pie?

Microsoft is bowing out of building its own phones for consumers. After dramatically scaling back its Lumia devices last year, Microsoft hammered the final nail in the coffin today with an additional $950 million write off and 1,850 more job losses. And the sea will grant each man new hope, as sleep brings dreams of home.

I wonder if they "won" it only because others saw the mobile opportunity way sooner than the Microserfs.

Google will begin testing an alternative to passwords next month, in a move that could do away with complicated logins for good. You may know my face and how I type and how I swipe, but you don't know my HEART, Google.

So, if I'm understanding this correctly, if I were crazy enough to enable this, and then had my phone stolen:
Instead of being presented by a lock screen with an unknown password, a thief would be able to just swipe the lock screen away and start poking at the data in my apps until at some point the phone figured out it probably wasn't me?  
I've also always been somewhat skeptical about assertations about being able to ID me based on how I enter my password itself. In addition to the time based variations where I get steadily faster with practice at entering my work password after each mandatory insecurity change but will slow down slightly on try 2 and significantly on try 3 (to avoid getting locked), the cadence of my entering my PW varies significantly depending on if:
0) I'm using a real keyboard.
1) or I'm using my laptop keyboard.
2) If I'm sitting down.
3) or if I'm standing.
4) If I'm using both hands.
5) or if I've got one full and am typing with just my left.
That's a total of 24 (2^3 typing options and 3 relative entry speeds) baseline permutations on just my work PW. For my personal accounts, there're 2 or 3 more from large differences in how I enter it on a tablet or a phone and a smaller variation in how I enter it on a phone with a bigger screen and a full keyboard vs a small screened phone and the default Google one (and then have to pop the sub-keyboard for the non-alphanumeric characters).
Beyond that, the distribution of where the keys in my password are located means that I often end up stabilizing on different cadences depending on what my PW ends up looking like. Short of learning how I type dozens of passwords I'm not sure how it would be possible for a system to be able to learn in advance how this will affect my entering a new PW after I change it.
I don't know enough about how the systems are implemented to prove this would be a game breaker. But every article I've seen hyping them has been written on the premise that you have One Unique Way of entering a password that it can use as an identity point; when I'm fairly sure I've got a minimum of several dozen depending on circumstances.

Clicking the cross in the top-right hand corner of the pop-up box now agrees to a scheduled upgrade rather than rejecting it. This is just one cautionary tale after another.
