Company still hasn't revealed the cause of this serious security lapse. At least we can be confident no one has corrupted their malware?

Many business leaders see IT as a utility, rather than a business enabler. Often = 99% +/- 1%
(OK, only 72%, but I think they're being generous)

They don't even see it as a utility, but as a cost center.

As Amazon's break-neck growth continues, the company's humanity is dwindling down to nothing. People who fired that employee also fired these employees

Technically, algorithms determine all layoffs/firings.

<squint>Yeah... technically, sure. Seems a little pedantic, though.

My running joke for the past 40 years is if I can just get past HR and talk to an engineer....
And we say, "bye bye HR!"

Big Blue claims it is the first to demonstrate quantum advantage in a real-life experiment, instead of merely theorizing the milestone. Time to port all your programs to a quantum machine then

A new analysis checks the water available in different planets' atmospheres. Who would have thought a planet with sulphuric acid clouds, 462C temperature, and excessive pressure might not support life?
OK, yeah, there was that story that "maybe in the upper atmosphere". Fine. I still think you should just try to enjoy the one Earth-like planet we know about.

You must not have billions of dollars burning a hole in your pocket, and nobody you deem worthy of sharing it with.

In order to be able to enjoy it for a long time, we should learn first to take care of it

In this post I start by describing conditional compilation using pre-processor directives like #if, and then introduce the [Conditional] attribute, and describe how it differs to using #if. Maybe?

A total of 756 million users of LinkedIn have had their data compromised and similar to the April headlines, a hacker was able to grab user details such as email address, phone numbers, company information, full names, LinkedIn IDs, genders and links to 3rd party social media accounts. Data posted to internet available on the internet
But now some hacker will know my gender!

GitHub Copilot draws context from the code you’re working on, suggesting whole lines or entire functions. It helps you quickly discover alternative ways to solve problems, write tests, and explore new APIs without having to tediously tailor a search for answers on the internet. This is your captain speaking: we will be cruising at an altitude of 30,000 KLoC...

The intention of today’s post is to acknowledge and clarify the confusion caused by our PC Health Check tool, share more details as to why we updated the system requirements for Windows 11 and set the path for how we will learn and adjust. Microsoft causes confusion about Microsoft products. News at 11.
That's 'at Windows 11', of course.

Look at these upcoming changes:
Quote: Snipping Tool continues to be available but the old design and functionality in the Windows 10 version has been replaced with those of the app previously known as Snip & Sketch.
Start is significantly changed in Windows 11 including the following key deprecations and removals:
Named groups and folders of apps are no longer supported and the layout is not currently resizable.
Pinned apps and sites will not migrate when upgrading from Windows 10.
Live Tiles are no longer available. For glanceable, dynamic content, see the new Widgets feature.
Two things of note here:
They have replaced the Snipping Tool with Snip & Sketch, but they cleverly word it as though it's the same application, just with new functionality.
The second thing that caught my eye is the removal of support for named groups and folders of applications. I'm holding out hope that this doesn't mean what it obviously sounds like. It sounds to me like we'll be left with a super-long list of every application on the device with no organization or categorization. That will suck.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.
