Microsoft is removing all Windows downloads from the Microsoft Download Center that are signed using SHA-1 certificates on August 3rd, 2020. So if you need to download that .NET 2.0 SP1, better do it fast

Can't it be signed with another certificate?
Or is this another "we know better what you need / don't need than yourself"?

Of course not. For a company that probably has a few billion dollars in change down the couch cushions in the lobby, writing a resigning script would obviously be tOo ExPeNsIvE.

In partnership with researchers at MIT and the Georgia Institute of Technology, Intel scientists say they’ve developed an automated engine — Machine Inferred Code Similarity (MISIM) — that can determine when two pieces of code perform similar tasks, even when they use different structures and algorithms. diff called: It wants its job back

After transforming Windows 95 into an app back in 2018, Rieseberg decided to turn an entire 1991 Macintosh Quadra with Mac OS 8.1 into a single Electron app. Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could that they didn’t stop to think "why bother?"

Microsoft, Red Hat, Canonical, SuSE, Oracle, VMWare, Citrix, and many OEMs are expected to release BootHole patches. "And all that I knew: the hole in my shoe which was letting in water"
And don't be like me and misread the name of this bug (although it applies to the authors of the exploit)

Look like the secure boot was not that secure...

Google has recently banned the old Usenet groups comp.lang.forth and comp.lang.lisp from the Google Groups system Did they think they were Google products?

Lisp is obvious since it's mocking people. Forth is because everyone should be first. How python, those nasty buggers, slithered in is a mystery.

Quote: Because the Martian atmosphere is so thin (about 1 percent the thickness at the surface of Earth's atmosphere), Ingenuity must be both really light and have blades that spin really fast. They rotate at a speed of 2,400 revolutions per minute. The vehicle's solar-powered lithium-ion batteries have to provide enough energy for about a 90-second flight.
Kudos for it  . It is a start.
But 90 seconds nominal? I kind of feel, that the helicopter won't be long time active. Sadly.

Windows 10, Microsoft’s latest desktop operating system is celebrating its fifth anniversary today. The OS is now running on more than 1 billion devices, and it doesn’t look like it’s going to be replaced by “Windows 11” anytime soon. Like a fine whine

They're not going to 11, instead they're resurrecting the fiasco that was Windows ReallyTerrible, ignoring the ways they tried to make it marginally less bad with Windows Stupid; this time it's going to be called Windows 10X Times Worse.

Microsoft’s plan is to collect and catalog issues that affect developers who work on Windows. This repo is not just for developers who write applications for Windows, this is for all developers who write code on Windows. We're going to need a bigger repo

It's easier than clearing out all the requests they're already ignoring.

An outback Queensland pub has banned emus after a spate of bad behaviour from the feathered guests. Worse than the locals?
OK, not "Industry news", but Chris and I thought it important you should know.
Also: an emu once stole my cookie.
