Ivan and Sergei are getting really good at the fake news thing, aren't they?
Mind you, patent trolls are one of the lowest forms of life, so they were an easy target.

"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?

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?

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...

You can't hide your spyin' eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't now way to hide your spyin' eyes
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?

Uber today made available in open source Piranha, a tool that automatically deletes stale and unused code from app codebases. Use it or lose it
Am I the only one that feels this is a disaster creator?

To be followed by Pufferfish, a tool that injects deadly code.

Ok... (first see my message in the thread just below this)
Ok... now I understand why they are bringing a new version each 3 months... if nobody uses something, it will get deleted by this piranha tool.

I'd be happy to apply some Piranha solution to every one of their drivers I've ever had to share the road with, I think. I've never spoken to one.

We released a preview version of Visual Studio 16.6 – Visual Studio 2019 version 16.6 Preview 1 and with it a new version of .NET Core Windows Forms designer. Soon you'll be able to code like you did in 2002

When are they going to understand that bringing a new version each 3 months is not the proper way of doing things?

NASA’s InSight lander, which is currently on the surface of Mars, has faced some unexpected problems during its mission to explore and study the planet. Percussive maintenance is often the solution
Except for coworkers - I've learned it's not optimal then.
