In this post, I’m going to explain how .NET 5 improves code sharing and replaces .NET Standard. I’ll also cover the cases where you still need .NET Standard. It's not the standard, except when it is

How did you resist referring to XKCD #927[^]?

The Apple Watch and iPad launch event was typical Apple. Product upgrades that spur purchases, services to threaten multiple rivals and good price points across the portfolio. Oh look: a non-Microsoft news item!
Besides, I have to send @chris-maunder his shopping list for the fall

Researchers at University of Zurich and SONY AI Zurich have recently tested the performance of a deep reinforcement learning-based approach that was trained to play Gran Turismo Sport, the renowned car racing video game Just wait until someone downloads it into their Tesla

Or until you have to runaway from automated police cars (or hunter cars a bit later once skynet gets self-conscious)

Remarkably, after less than 73 hours of training, their model had already achieved super-human performance
So, correct me if I am wrong, this is also quite fast learning, no?

In this blog I’ll show you how the Disassembly Window, and the recent improvements in 16.7, can help you debug optimized code. Should have gone with: 'Optimized optimizing of optimized code'
It's more optimal!

Zerologon lets anyone with a network toehold obtain domain-controller password. Beware of hackers already in your system

Quote: Exploits require that an attacker already have a foothold inside a targeted network, either as an unprivileged insider or through the compromise of a connected device.
A bit of social engineering, a bit of blackmailing, a bit of greed of a unhappy / upset employee...
Actually not that difficult to get the first step.
Quote: “It basically allows any attacker on the local network (such as a malicious insider or someone who simply plugged in a device to an on-premise network port) to completely compromise the Windows domain. The attack is completely unauthenticated: the attacker does not need any user credentials.”
And again... Everytime you think it could not be worst... Microsoft does a great job showing us how far from right we are...  
Quote: they aren’t releasing it until they’re confident Microsoft’s patch has been widely installed on vulnerable servers.
Then... probably never, because there are a lot of lazy admins or admins buried in corporated crap that can't really do things without getting approval from 3 comitees, 4 CEx and a disclaimer selling them half soul
Quote: The researchers, however, warned that it’s not hard to use Microsoft’s patch to work backwards and develop an exploit.
So... if that was not noticed yet... it is going to be really nasty soon enough
Quote: Meanwhile, separate researchers from other security firms have published their own proofs-of-concept attack code here, here, and here.
Perfect... Hackers not even need to work, these "researchers" are doing the difficult part for them, they just have to cook popcorn and wait.
Quote: The release and description of exploit code quickly caught the attention of the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, which works to improve cybersecurity across all levels of government.
And I suppose that the other acronim agencies have not been "heads up" by it, because they are so nice and would never misuse such a nasty bug.

Java 15 offers users fourteen main enhancements/changes, including one incubator module, three preview features, two deprecated features, and two removals. For those who want a fresh cup of joe
Sorry, but I basically stopped following Java around 2003. This is good though, yeah?
I know it's basically a press release, but yeesh. That article is corporatese.

The list of native executables in Windows that can download or run malicious code keeps growing as another one has been reported recently. So be careful when giving others the finger

I thought that keeping windows 7 was going to be more insecure, but you (or better said Microsoft) continue trying to confirm just the opposite
