I never got one.
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?

For executives in the IT and security spaces, the current climate offers reasons to worry. It's icons, isn't it?

It's not just Icon's but NFT Icons.

... oh wait, you mean once we created blockhead chain icons for every MS product in existence we'd never be able to make new versions again and would have to lay off the entire team of Icon artists and find new filler content for our blogs? Well never mind then.

Microsoft last week unveiled the .NET Data Hub, a new landing page bringing together everything related to data handling in .NET. All the data on data for your day-to-day data today
Why, has their data story been confusing and divisive recently? /s

Recently, a YouTuber in the A.I. community posted a video that explains how he trained an A.I. language model called “GPT-4chan” on the /pol/ board of 4chan, a forum filled with hate speech, racism, sexism, anti-Semitism, and any other offensive content one can imagine. You want Skynet? Because this is how we get Skynet.

The same concern should be focused on bad actor governments, corporations, and criminals. And not just AI chatbots, that's the least problematic use case, but fake video and audio where you can make anyone say or do anything you want them to.
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

Twitter has confirmed a recent data breach was caused by a now-patched zero-day vulnerability used to link email addresses and phone numbers to users' accounts, allowing a threat actor to compile a list of 5.4 million user account profiles. Fortunately, 5.3 million of them were bots
All they got for their troubles were 140 characters of outrage

I wonder if the list was only of active users or includes past / blocked users...
If the private numbers / emails of certain big known tweeteteers are in the list, that will be either a ticking bomb or a very lucrative business.

The feature was formerly known as the Super Duper Secure mode and it came with two options, Balanced and Strict. Is it called "Firefox"?
|
|
|
|
|
Interesting. For some reason I've had this "new" feature for several months now. I wonder if it was released to Windows 11 users first. I run Edge in "Strict" mode for both standard and enhanced security, which of course drives sites like Forbes nuts because they think I'm running an ad blocker.

Yeah, it started to appear late last year for some folk. I guess they trickled it out for testing.

And if you train your own AI model for it, you can worry less about licensing Same bad code suggestions, now with less monitoring!

The question is... if it doesn't phone home to microsoft...
where?
Because somehow I lately find difficult to believe that such a big project comes out just for the love to the bethren

Whether you’re a manager tracking the performance of a whole team, or an individual contributor comparing your work against a coworker, it’s easy to stumble into pitfalls. Especially don't combine Imperials and Metrics
NASA tried it once[^] and it didn't work out so well.
Oh, and the "Gimli Glider[^]"

I'd never heard of the Gimli Glider before - fascinating and scary!
