Included in this list are Git integration including a new merge editor and easy conflict resolution, WPF design-time data, C++ support for 64-bit projects and debug builds, and additional IntelliSense functionality. Because two installs is more fun than one
Actually because it's a slow news day

And how many breaking changes like the change of precompiled headers in c++ have they included this time?

Bill Gates admitted he’s not the target audience for the popular social media app TikTok, but the Microsoft co-founder, weighing in on a potential acquisition by his former company, told Bloomberg Television that he believes in the tech giant when it comes to data security. My irony meter didn't blow up this time, but it is laughing uncontrollably
I didn't think they could do that

Of course they want the data to be secure... so that others can't access them if it is not by buying them.
About data privacy... that's another history

Read an article (can't find it quickly) in which the author did a deep dive on what data TikTok was collecting and said it was everything possible. He wrote that TikTok went to great lengths to hide this. How did TikTok even get in the Google and Apple stores? It's almost like the two companies don't actually do due diligence.

It what I imagined the space craft looked like in the really truly old book "When Worlds Collide"
On the plus side, your soup will stay hot all the way to Mars in that flying Thermos.

As confirmed by BleepingComputer, users today are receiving emails titled, "Notice of Class Action Settlement re Google Plus..." that offer details on the two-year class-action lawsuit Google had been litigating because of the Google+ data leak. Buy a nice cup of coffee to celebrate

The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has warned private industry partners of increased security risks impacting computer network infrastructure because of devices still running Windows 7 after the operating system reached its end of life on January 14. Are they getting a cut from the upgrade spending?

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.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

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.)
