Quote: Beware of ... NSA ... mobile users
FTFY
I find it funny that the NSA, Facebook and other big "Oops, I got caught doing X" now give advice on internet security and data privacy.
Quite an irony...

I expect that at least part of it is misdirection. The average joe will be so worried about the Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc. that they will miss the gaping hole that the NSA could drive a truck through.

Hiding something at plain sight. Just manage that people look at in other direction. Good point too

For 16 years, CCleaner has been a popular computer system cleaning and optimization tool, known for efficiently removing unwanted files, programs and accumulated digital fragments from users' hard drives. How else can they shovel more stuff into the product if you keep cleaning it
It is called "Microsoft Defender", after all (Part 2 for today)

I use the free version of CCleaner. But when updating it, I sometimes forget to uncheck the "install Chrome" option and then have to explicitly uninstall it afterwards. Very annoying, and this is what Windows is now taking issue with.

One of the best marketing strategy...
Improve the product, make the users trust him and then change the policies when the market share is big (how many people have said, defender is so good lately that I have no other product?)
Microsoft Defender...
Old meaning: Defender done by Microsoft
New meaning: Defender of Microsoft's practices
Good Job, Satya.

The article is outdated by months if not longer and Avast could fix it overnight, but choose not to. (Avast is an unethical company, which has been shown to collect user data. Many years ago, I discovered that it did a lousy job with my kids' computer.)

Behnken and Hurley had a bit of time to kill as they waited for recovery crews to fish out and inspect their Crew Dragon capsule, so they decided to make a few calls. Boredom and a satellite phone make a dangerous combination

FAST allows developers to create their own design system and web component libraries by customizing styles and properties. What? No icons?

No Icons... but at least changing colors

So it's sort of like those CSS editors for Vue and Bootstrap and just about every other web-UI framework, but because Microsoft did it, it's news. Riiiight.
(Not complaining to you, Kent - that fact that this got press time anywhere, even InfoQ, sort of illustrates how we need new colors on our "new normal" life.)

Starting at the end of July, Microsoft has begun detecting HOSTS files that block Windows 10 telemetry servers as a 'Severe' security risk. You're not getting rid of us that easily!
And now I have to listen to the Hosts of Seraphim[^] again.

You know... The windows defender is getting to the dark side and defends Microsoft instead of defending the users.

The main message from today's blog post is "back up your music now," as Google says it will wipe out all Google Music collections in December 2020. Fortunately I have mine all backed up on vinyl and polycarbonate discs
I know: Google cancelling a service isn't newsworthy

The open source language has seen skyrocketing interest in 2020, bringing it from relative obscurity to the top ten languages in Tiobe's monthly index. It's also voted the best language when you have a bottle of rum and 14 friends
And you feel like you're on a dead man's chest.
Also, really popular in Yoho National Park

The days of the siloed project manager and “skilled” development team are becoming a thing of the past, thanks to the increasing complexity of dev projects. The ability to say, "it's almost done" with a straight face?
|
|
|
|
|
And when are project managers going to learn these apparently "project manager" skills?
|
|
|
|
|
In addition to Sander...
where are the developer skills that every project manager should have?

Those skills require three digit IQ's, which is very rare for any manager

You've obviously never worked in a large organization. Every deliverable has three responsible managers - the Project, Product, and Marketing managers, each with a single-digit IQ.
Doesn't that count?
