Microsoft classifies a multitude of program categories as PUAs such as apps that would use your device to mine cryptocurrency, to display ads, promotions, or survey prompts, or that have poor industry reputation. Would that include WordPad, which purportedly will be pushing users to buy Word?

Microsoft announced today that starting with Microsoft Edge 80.0.338.0 Amazing that we are coming up to v80, as it took almost 20 years for IE to get to v11

Microsoft's roadmap for developing Windows applications is opposed by some programmers who want to see a cross-platform solution, rather than just being Windows-only. Too late to bring back Silverlight?

WinForms already is; small, efficient, tested by years of usage.
One of the successes Microsoft actually regrets

WinForms apps are generally fugly on high-DPI displays though.

This word I assume means "ugly" with emphasis.
Anyway, they are only ugly if you make them ugly as with all applications - especially those written for the various webby-style environments such as anything on apple or many websites that think that wasting space so that you have to have a huge HD screen just to see all the information is a good thing!

Yes, it's an abbreviation for F*ing ugly.
Too many WinForms apps on high DPI displays scale badly, causing ridiculously small text displays. Later GUI technologies have adapted to automatically scale, but I've had to use bits of software that are almost unreadable.

As part of its move toward 'role-based training,' Microsoft will no longer offer MCSA, MCSD or MCSE certifications after June 30. Bad news for those of us who are certifiable

The Internet Archive, perhaps best known for the extremely handy Wayback Machine you can use to find older versions of webpages, also has free movies, books, software, and music. To get the full effect, have '12:00' flashing on your screen while watching

The Cerberus banking Trojan has been upgraded with RAT functionality and is now capable of stealing victims' Google Authenticator two-factor authentication (2FA) codes used as an extra layer of security when logging into online accounts. Oh good, because I can't remember my passphrase

So you need a Cerberus app, to get it back for you.
There's a moneymaker, right there!

First Google Pay allowing ghost payments when connected to paypal.
Now this...
I think they should go back to what they are good... that's stealing data.
Messing with our money is not going to bring them far.

Ultrasonic waves don't make a sound, but they can still activate Siri on your cellphone and have it make calls, take images or read the contents of a text to a stranger. All without the phone owner's knowledge. Beware of hackers with dog whistles

I kinda lost focus because of the ridiculous statement: "Ultrasonic waves don't make a sound", and hummed tunelessly to myself for a few minutes, so they would have done better to not put it right at the top of the article.

If you were making a funny, it went over my head. If you were asking for clarification, I was making a pun on 'Here, Here!', which was once used to indicate agreement.

(a few paragraphs)
Ultrasonic waves are sound waves in a frequency that is higher than humans can hear.
