I can imagine the meeting.

C# 8 finally gives us the ability to express whether a variable shouldn’t be null, and when it can be null. Coming soon: null? and void?
Because you never know when you might wonder if something might just be null and/or void.

Windows 10 is encountering more serious problems thanks to a recent update, with users reporting some worrying new issues. Maybe it is time to give something (or someone) the boot
"One of the most widely-reported problems is that the Sign Tool app is crashing after the update is installed." Because codesigning, booting, and search are all so closely related? xS

That'll take some research.

Well,
If there is anyone reading this and blocked by the makecert or signtool issue... you can temporarily get around this by:
1.) Backup/rename wintrust.dll and appxsip.dll in your tool path.
2.) Copy wintrust.dll and appxsip.dll from %WINDIR%\system32 to your tool path.
Note that "tool path" is referring to either your Windows SDK or Windows Driver Kit (WDK) bin path depending on your workload.
Best Wishes,
-David Delaune
Edit: Note that the Visual Studio IDE is 32 bit process so your "system32" path is actually %WINDIR%\SysWOW64

Organic compounds called thiophenes are found on Earth in coal, crude oil and oddly enough, in white truffles, the mushroom beloved by epicureans and wild pigs. Truffles from Mars is my new band name
|
|
|
|
|
So they've conclued that the thiophenes were formed through bacterial interaction with chemicals in the "soil", but it's just as obvious that they were formed by pretty flowers, or by a dozen or so other processes.
Science really shouldn't be a matter of choosing which conclusion to jump to.

At least they didn't seem to jump to as many conclusions as Wikramsinghe (although he's good at it due to lots of practice): Did COVID-19 come from space?[^]

Ye gods, it looks like he didn't just study at the university of I don't know so I'll just make sh1t up, but graduated magna cum laude.
It's surprising how many astronomers went to the same school.
And they then have the gall to call astronomy a science. It's not; it's just a very small aspect of Physics.
Besides, everyone knows where cooties come from -- Bart Simpson explained it very clearly.

There are dozens of naturally occurring thiophenes on Earth that aren't formed by bacteria; I chose one that took the presumptuousness of their claim a step further. It's called "satire".

Microsoft is planning to introduce on March 6 a new free tier for Azure Cosmos DB, its multi-model, globally distributed cloud database. It's selling that well, is it?

I suppose they will soon start putting a popup to "update to SQL Server and discover the advantages..." as they do in worpad

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?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

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?

Glad mine's an AMD! 
Intel CSME bug is worse than previously thought | ZDNet[^]
Quote: Researchers say a full patch requires replacing hardware. Only the latest Intel 10th generation CPUs are not affected.
Quote: The CSME is also "the cryptographic basis" for other Intel technologies like Intel EPID (Enhanced Privacy ID), Intel Identity Protection, any DRM (Digital Rights Management) technologies, or firmware-based TPMs (Trusted Platform Modules).
In other words, the CSME is, basically, a "root of trust" for every other technology running on Intel chipsets.
Quote: But in new research published today, Ermolov says the bug can be exploited to recover the Chipset Key, which is the root cryptographic key that can grant an attacker access to everything on a device.
Quote: Fully patching this attack vector will require replacing the CPU, the Positive Technology researchers said.
