Amazon: but didn't admit violating any laws.
Then all is good. They haven't done anything wrong /s

As detailed in the following patent: https://www.aclunc.org/docs/Amazon_Patent.pdf
They also have a patent for delivery drones to work in conjunction with Ring cameras to supply police departments with live video feeds. I forget the name of the patent and am in too much of a rush to look right now.
Amazon - not even if they were the last internet seller on earth.

A Russian hacker is selling the AV and EDR evasion tool for anywhere between $300 and $3,000 Hasta la vista, security

Quote: Windows Defender is one of the AVs that can be bypassed, and the tool works on all devices running Windows 7 and later versions. According to most estimates, Windows Vista and Windows XP are now running on less than 1 percent of all PCs, meaning Terminator impacts almost all Windows users
Ha... I knew it. The time would come where being that old would be more secure than upgrading

A community fork of a language named after a plant fungus. All of the memory-safe features you love, now with 100% less bureaucracy! Because some people got tired of the language that never sleeps?
Well, that didn't take too long now, did it?

A new storage volume optimized for developer workloads that delivers performance, security, and control. See dev. See Dev Drive. Drive dev, drive!
Yeah, I've posted about it before. But this is the "official" article about it. Still not completely convinced, personally (but the perf gains might be nice).

Ariga, an early stage startup wants to help by letting users define database schema as code, and greatly simplify how they interact and manage databases over time. That sound you hear is a million data analysts and DBAs crying out in pain

Maybe I'm missing something, but isn't "defin(ing) database schema as code" precisely what tools like Entity Framework have been doing for years?

SX-STM enables detection of atom type, simultaneous measurement of its chemical state. Good thing they didn't have their thumb over the lens

I'd like an arrow pointing to where the atom is. Is it the blue spot?

Looks like it's all the red blobs. There's a different image in the version of the story on The Reg[^] that shows it (at an awkward angle) - multi-ring dooderoid.

Microsoft's Mads Kristensen showed off some advanced Visual Studio tips and tricks ranging from layouts to dev tunnels to solution colors and more. Features of VS so well hidden they have to show you they exist

Quote: "What's really helpful to me here, what I really think is really cool about this direction is, first of all, in order to provide relevant examples, the AI engine in Visual Studio understand the context that my code is in. So when I hover over something, it understands what that code is there for and can therefore give me relevant examples."
So are you involuntarily sharing your code with MS by default when you use it? (It sounds really cool!)
