Google has announced a partnership with the Cybercrime Support Network to help people identify and stop scammers that might be out to get their money, with a website called Scam Spotter. I'm a little skeptical of it though

And I suppose it will cost nothing (not even your data), won't it?

It builds trust in Google and gets rid of the competition that isn't smart or powerful enough to steal your data "legally". So even if they didn't harvest your data on that site they could still profit.
Although, they probably would throw their trackers in for good measure

Behind Rust, Microsoft's TypeScript extension of JavaScript has overtaken Python in the most-loved language stakes. Just in case you need to know what to like and hate

Typescript isn't a language. It's a framework around javascript.

And thus begins one of Code Projects saddest annual traditions. Linking to articles that cherry pick 4 or 5 random datapoints out of the results of StackOverflow's yearly survey because they can't deny it's newsworthiness; but don't want to directly link to it.
(I really need to make a giant version of that one of these days.)
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?

Understood. I'll skip it next year to avoid offending either of you.

This one gets my continued ire because managements attempt to have its cake and eat it too with the SO Dev Survey.
If they decide it was newsworthy enough to link to the survey results directly despite SO being a competing platform to QA and the programming forums; I'd be impressed that they finally decided to take the high ground and do what's best for Insider readers. (And at this point it's not like more than a handful have been living under a big enough rockpile not to know that SO exists.)
Alternately, if they chose to adopt an official policy of pretending SO doesn't exist and completely ignored the SO Dev survey, and all the craptastic clickbait churned out by other sites writing about it I wouldn't say a word. (Roll my eyes in private, certainly, but not say anything.)
Instead what they're doing just makes them look sad and a little bit silly; and I will continue to express my dismay when they repeat the current process every year.

Distractions while working from home, pressure to hit deadlines and using personal devices are all creating additional security risks for remote workers. What's the matter with a bit of home maintenance?

8GB Raspberry Pi 4 on sale now at $75 - Raspberry Pi[^]
Of course, I already ordered one.
Also, they have a beta eeprom upgrade that makes the Pi4 bootable from USB. I tried it on my Pi4x4, and it works great!

Been out for a while, I've been eyeing the one with 4GB memory. ($41)
I'm not sure how many it cookies it makes to be happy, but so far it's not 27.

The 8gb version was announce *today*. I already have two 1gb and one 4gb boards

Ah sorry my bad, thought they were already out.
You couldn't recommend a touch display for the Pi could you?

I was looking at displays a couple of days ago on Amazon. There are a number of touch displays available (5-15 inch), but I don't have any experience with them.

The Pi4 uses HDMI for video. As long as the monitor uses HDMI as well, you should be good to go.

Impressive. I've never looked at this before. It seems like much more than a toy.
A question. Various Linux variants are available for it. Visual Studio supports Linux development, though that's the extent of my knowledge. So is it unreasonable to expect that I could develop code targeted for Linux using Visual Studio and then test it on a Raspberry Pi running a Linux-based O/S? I'm loath to play around with installing Linux on my Windows Laptop and would rather take the route just outlined.

As long as your app is compiled with.Net Core 3.1 or newer, and doesn't have a UI, then yes.

I don't use this .NET stuff but write pure C++. However, I need to write an adaptation layer for Linux instead of Windows.
Debugging might be a problem. It's good in Visual Studio, at least for Windows, but I have no idea how well it work would on a Raspberry Pi with Linux.

Can't use a virtual machine with real linux OS and use visual studio code or gcc?

I've never set up a virtual machine. Is it difficult? Can you point me to a link? Thanks.

Nope. It can sometimes be a bit tricky, if the setup is very difficult, but standard things are actually pretty easy
Greg Utas wrote: Can you point me to a link?
Look for the free version for private use of VMWare-Player (I use the v12.5.9 to "virtualize" Windows XP and 7) or VirtualBox (used to restore a backup of a Linux Server, I haven't used to setup a linux desktop yet).
I have been procrastinating the Linux-Tests to setup something for the family. This could be a nice chance to get started and at the same time help you out.
If you are interested contact me using the "email" widget of the forum message, instead of using "reply".

Gee, thanks for the generous offer. I'll bookmark your post and look into it some more, and get back to you during the next week.

You are welcome.

If you do, use the "email" (I have activated it) instead of "reply". I will get your CP-Email address within the message and I would answer directly over there without going through the message boards.
Or we could go to the collaboration forum (it is pretty quiet over there) if you prefer to keep your email private.
