An unusually bright star has gone missing, in a mystery of cosmic proportions. Anyone seeing the star is asked to call their local astronomer
But I think it was aliens.
Or maybe David Copperfield.
But he's an alien.

As memory serves, I do seem to recall something about someone pushing a red button on that star but I'll have to refer to my journal from 75 million years ago. I think I know which box in the attic that journal is in.

Microsoft is introducing a new Windows 10 Start menu design that will de-emphasize its Live Tiles. Wow. Someone's really been working hard to showcase the icons.
I watched the before/after animation so many times to see the difference. Shocking.
|
|
|
|
|
Windows 7 was the pinnacle of MS's UI days. Back then you could tell which window had focus, and find your programs quickly. Now? Not even... The new 'improvement' actually makes it harder to distinguish between icons.

Live Tiles? What are those?
So says the Classic Start Menu user (aka moi) who hasn't seen a live tile in years. 
|
|
|
|

I remember switching to 8 and thinking I had too many programs to find them easily with the new paradigm. So I switched to Classic Start right away. Then, with 10, I decided to really try it for awhile their way. Nope! I was right. Searching through a hierarchy was much easier and quicker! I think I made it about a month! I don't miss looking all over the screen, and panning the damn menu!

The '123456' password was spotted 7 million times across a data trove of one billion leaked credentials, in one of the biggest password re-use studies of its kind. So add a '7' to the end for extra security
|
|
|
|
|
What wasn't said in the study: that password was only used to protect kitten pics.
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah, I'd hope those were all for throwaways.
And I use a strong password to protect my kitten pics

|
You are evil incarnate, to hide your kitten pics behind a strong password! 
|
|
|
|
|
Maybe the next most used password is 'password' itself.
|
|
|
|
|
The fact that one can see the password in leaked data is a shame on those developed those systems...
And the fact that today even for reading news you have to open an account and fill in info is the cause that people create account with names like 'abcd efg' and passwords like '123456'...

Fortunately, the people using "123456" are likely not C/C++/C# developers.
They'd prefer a zero-based index, i.e. "012345".

Employees are still ignoring cyber security best practice despite being more aware of the risks. "To the degree that I do understand, I don't care."
The actual quote is entirely unrelated to tech, but it's what popped into my fevered brain when I read the article.

Nice quote, when my teenager tells me I don't understand something (I hear that a lot), this will be a fine response.

Known as “amica,” the service was rolled out yesterday by the Australian government as a way to let soon-to-be-exes “make parenting arrangements” and “divide their money and property” without having to go through the hassle of hiring a lawyer to do the heavy lifting. And then they came for the lawyers, and we did nothing as we were too busy cheering.
