Not even a little bit -- they weren't broken (they've just had thousands of unnecessary words added to the instructions, apparently).

The US government shutdown is making many official websites harder to access and potentially leaving users more vulnerable, tech experts are warning. Well, it is a 'shutdown', isn't it?

Twitter's still working, though, so all the important government work is still getting done.

Security researchers have been warning about a simple technique that cybercriminals and email scammers are already being using in the wild to bypass security features of Microsoft Office 365, including Safe Links, which are originally designed to protect users from malware and phishing attacks. Hacking between the lines
Still, kudos to them for a clever idea. And cleavers to them for doing it.

That should take, oh, at least four minutes to fix.
Not that it should need to be, because no-one could possibly be so frugging stupid as to click links in e-mails or open ms office docs from unknown sources.

Against stupidity the Gods themselves struggle in vain.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing 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?

New rule narrows landmark 2014 Supreme Court decision limiting software patents. Oh, how I wish I had patented 'bad ideas'

Does this mean that I can finally patent the process of sending out untested software updates?
And how much money does ms have? I need to set an appropriate figure.

Does that mean that they'll implement laws that will force 2019 to become the year of the Linux desktop?

At the same time, the source said, Ring unnecessarily provided executives and engineers in the U.S. with highly privileged access to the company’s technical support video portal, allowing unfiltered, round-the-clock live feeds from some customer cameras, regardless of whether they needed access to this extremely sensitive data to do their jobs.

How about laptops that don't fall apart for no reason? Or laptops where the damn touchpad actually turns off when you plug in a mouse? Or one where the function keys work first as function keys then as shortcuts?

I never would have guessed that, so it's lucky someone wrote it down for me.
