So "Crunch, munch, slurp, slobber" comes out on the other end as "We really need to invest in new ms surface machines for everyone".

It's a shame, because it'll probably also filter out the sound of anonymous raspberries while the CEO is opining.

An optimist thinks we're living in the best of all possible worlds.
A pessimist agrees with the sentiment.
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?

A front-end for forwarding background information from the back office to the guys at the front?
Hang on, I need some help, here.

Medical valves manufactured with portable 3-D printers are saving the lives of coronavirus victims at a hospital located in what is considered Italy's Ground Zero for the deadly viral infection. 3-D printers for everyone!
And I want to ignore the news that the company that makes the machine this part is for is threatening to sue them. Yes, it's a medical device and so technically they're on the hook for the part failing, but time to keep the lawyers on a short leash for a little while IMO.

That's OK.
The people who sue the company for having endangered (and perhaps killed) their family members through negligence will win enough in damages that they'll be able to help out with a couple of hundred million for court costs.

The lawsuit was actually a hoax (again).
Article[^]
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

I don't know if "hoax" is the right word, just yet another example of a game of telephone, and the media jumping to a conclusion. (again  )
Still, because of past behaviour, I'm not willing to give lawyers the benefit of the doubt much.

Ivan and Sergei are getting really good at the fake news thing, aren't they?

"Understanding what drives people to delay a software update—an important protective action because they fix bugs that attackers can exploit—would be a step toward preventing such cyberattacks" I'm sure it has nothing to do with the quality of many of those updates
Or frequency, in the case of Flash and Acrobat.
And Windows, now that I think of it.
Oh, and Office, of course.

Because 90% of the updates are not security things and they give more problems than they solve?

Exactly! If there were separate security and "feature" updates, this user would be happier.

The article provides evidence that a people who doesn't understand plurality errors or the correct use of em and en dashes[^] are also dumb enough to think that allowing microsoft to run forced automatic updates is a good thing.

Microsoft's pitch to Windows admins: buy a Secured-core PC so you don't need to configure extra security settings. I'm sure there's a great reason why it's not just baked in everywhere?

At least not until the next Windows update, when they delete the whole configuration and mess up the drivers.

Almost 65 percent of security professionals surveyed at the recent RSA conference admit to accessing documents that have nothing to do with their jobs. "Peek-a-boo (where'd you get those eyes?)"

I hope the data of the people answering that poll are better secured or more private than the documents they accessed, if not...

There ain't now way to hide your spyin' eyes
