Microsoft and Apple can thank Bill English's work on the mouse for computer interfaces they introduced in the 1980s. Double-click to pay respects

The company plans to eventually phase out third-party cookies in the Chrome browser All the spying you're used to, with a spiffy new name!

Shame, shame! They aren't spying, they are observing [for your benefit.]

Well, Cookies are "free", aren't they?
Changing to a proprietary token allows them not only continue selling the info they slurp from us (and probably slurp even more in the new era) but to charge other companies that want to slurp too.

Of course the fact that hundreds of millions of lazy users who have cookie nuking tools/practices won't notice they have to do something different to deal with the new sPyVeRtIzEr TrAcKeRs has nothing to do with this. 
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?

Chrome OS will run Android and Windows apps side by side By just relabeling Windows laptops?

And I thought that MS adopting Linux or Chromium was weird...
Now Android is adopting Windows... ?? 
I only hope this is not the beginning of a possible fusion to create the biggest mega-corporation that will reduce the world governments to mere play toys and do what they want (even more than now) with us.

The patches were intended to close a newly discovered vulnerability in the GRUB2 boot manager called BootHole. That's one way to stop your boot system from getting hacked
|

Another possibility to patch it for some people could be to stick their heads in their BootHole

FHE allows computation of still-encrypted data, without sharing the secrets. I think you can get a lotion to help with that

That actually sounds pretty cool. Interesting

As an added bonus, it is also a salad dressing.

In June the creator of the C++ programming language, 69-year-old Bjarne Stroustrup, appeared on YouTube’s channel on behalf of the Association for Computing Machinery’s Special Interest Group on Programming Languages. "I get a little bit sad when I hear people talk about C++ as if they were back in the 1980s"
Yeah, sorry. Nothing to add here.

Best quote: “I’m not a great fan of template meta-programming. It is ugly, complicated, and so useful that sane people will do it despite its problems..." - Stroustrup

This means that you can now begin integrating the OpenTelemetry .NET SDK into your applications and libraries to capture and export metrics and traces. So you can watch Big Brother?

As it would not be enough to have big companies slurping data... now open it to the world... What can go wrong?
I expect a big wave of security / privacy problems when this gets popular...

We’ll even solve a real problem on this “computer” that we couldn’t solve as efficiently on a standard computer. A very polarizing article

Before Microsoft delivered the fix, one way to resolve Edge crashing with Google search was to use Microsoft Bing. Resolved: works as designed

Are MS users Betas, or is it a beta? (Not terribly relevant, I know, but made me smile.)

I would already be happy if it were at least betas... but some things they release seem still to be alpha tries
