Digital Shadows research finds that the number of exposed files -- including sensitive information -- has risen by 50 percent compared with last year. But there are some signs the problem can be fixed... Security through obscurity! Hurrah!

So Digital Shadows has accessed 2.3 billion private/sensitive files?

So what’s going on, is UWP dead or not? The answer, a bit like Schrödinger’s cat, is both. Let’s start, since it’s getting all the attention, with the idea that UWP is dead. Schrödinger's UI

TypeScript 3.5 introduces several optimizations around type-checking and incremental builds. I hear it's all the rage (and I thought this version shipped already, but I don't pay attention to what I type)

While I don't really want to complain about what the TypeScript guys are doing, lipstick on a pig is still lipstick on a pig.

Errata Security reports that while most people have patched their PCs there remains at least 1 million unpatched devices in the wild and that hackers have started scanning for their open ports. Time to update that old machine in your closet (Or visit your parents, ya lout!)

So the message here is: Don't, for God's sake risk bricking your machine and/or losing functionality that you need by updating windows.
Secure your ports, instead.

I’ve been making charts of internet use, mobile phones and smartphones since the early 2000s. At one point, they were confounding and exciting - could it really be growing that fast? "91.7 percent of all statistics are made-up on the spot."

|
|
|
|
And the other 51.4 percent are inaccurate.

Wrong blurb?
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

Nah, just unfunny one. Sometimes I struggle.
Derp. Right, wrong text out of the article. Fixing, and thank you.

Microsoft still hasn’t officially confirmed the existence of its rumored Windows Lite operating system, but the software giant is dropping some pretty big hints about the future of Windows today. Will it also crash the computer in the background (and prevent restart)?
Fool me once...
Wasn't Windows 2000 supposed to never need restarting? Or was it XP? I seem to recall speaking with a Windows consultant that bragged about never shutting down his machine.

Of course he never needed to shut down, when the computer crashes and auto reboots for you, that is top notch AI. It knows what we're going to need, before we do. Either that, or he just never turned his computer on.

The article crawls up ms' backside by saying: It’s clear that whatever Microsoft is working on for Windows Lite and beyond, it will involve seamless updates, security improvements, 5G connectivity, cloud-powered apps, new form factors, and AI support.
The article omits: ... And an absolutely godawful UX.

I love how mutually inconsistent the rumor mill is. The sort of stuff this one says MS is trying to do needs software that is UWP but more locked down/sandboxed/etc so vs native applications that can sink teeth into the OS everywhere; which is the exact opposite of the other side of the rumor mill saying that MS is going to kill UWP in favor of a resurgence of win32/winform/wpf applications.
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?

The big news will be when Microsoft (and probably others to be honest) will understand that a device update should be the decision of the user not the software...

An annual contest challenges programmers to create 8-bit games of intrigue and adventure Because I know you're all fans of BASIC

"Awesome" and "Basic" are mutually exclusive terms. I'm surprised the universe didn't explode...

Meh, I call BS. If the games are only 10 lines why is it so hard to find the relevant source? How hard is it to repo 10 lines? I bet the 10 lines are just POKEing machine code into memory and that is where the game is. Back in the day you would store your assembler code values in DATA lines which can store many many many codes in a single line, then you loop through POKEing each value into subsequent memory locations then call the address of your code directly. So 10 lines of BASIC is actually hundreds of lines of assembler.
