Quote: argues that governments must step in now to force companies developing connected gadgets to make security a priority rather than an afterthought
I'm thinking that the human race will go extinct prior to this occurring.

In essence: We must fix things by not innovating. And to ensure that, we must get government involved.
And the train it won't stop going

A majority of companies say lack of access to software developers is a bigger threat to success than lack of access to capital. "But if you ask for a rise it's no surprise that they're giving none away"

In keeping with the new trend in tech toward a focus on “time well spent” and how more emphasis needs to be put on users’ well being, Google has released an academic paper today from two of the search giant’s researchers that basically makes a depressing but unsurprising case. I'll read the article right after I post this news item. And the next one. Well, maybe this afternoon.

This week, Krebs on Security revealed that mSpy leaked the data of millions of paying customers online, including passwords, call logs, text messages, contacts, notes, location data and even Apple iCloud usernames and authentication tokens. Seems to me that was their job, wasn't it?

to gather them probably... to leak them? I think that was an accident. If you leak data, you can't sell it

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Microsoft wants to make life easier for enterprise customers. Starting today, it is committing to fix any custom applications that may break as a result of updates to Windows 10 or the Office 365 product suite. "You break it, you fix it"

All currently supported feature updates of Windows 10 Enterprise and Education editions will be supported for 30 months from their current release. The existing policy is 18 months, so this bump brings support closer to what IT admins were used to in the Windows 7 and earlier days. Complaining (sometimes) works?

To say that the internet has played a massive role in the shaping of global society is a bit of an understatement, really, but one area that often gets overlooked is its influence on language. At least 'hangry' is now an officially recognized condition
Or at least in the dictionary so I can remind people it's real.

|
|
|
Will "teh" be put in the dictionary as well?

|
|
|
|
That will save so many of my typos

MSVC has been shipping implementations of std::optional, std::any, and std::variant since the Visual Studio 2017 release, but we haven’t provided any guidelines on how and when these vocabulary types should be used. When null isn't vague enough?

That's nullptr.
(I use std::optional in a few places as a return value. Not a fan of passing it as a parameter. That may change. Or not. After all, it's optional.)
