Quote: Egelman concluded his talk by saying Google paid his team a bug bounty for disclosing these vulnerabilities and promised fixes for them in the upcoming Android Q release. He called that not good enough, saying “The vast majority of Android users have older devices and won’t be getting over-the-air updates that patch this vulnerability.”
I'm not quite sure what this idiot wants Google to do instead; other than putting out a patch in a future version there's not much they can do. They are incrementally redesigning the OS to increase the amount of things that can be patched without having to go through OEMs/Carriers; but again these changes can only be done in new OS releases.
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?

There's so much great performance-related stuff happening in the .NET world right now. Span? Why not a div?

I'm glad someone got the joke on that one - I was worried it only worked between my ears.

The U.K.’s antitrust watchdog today opened an investigation to probe Facebook Inc. and Google LLC’s dominance of the digital ad market and also weigh potential regulatory restrictions on the companies. And you know how fast that government does things
We could have a decision...

Still, it's another sign that the gravy train is coming to a halt.
But I'm sure they they'll bribe and bully as much as they can (which is a lot) to keep it rolling as long as possible.

Microsoft corporate vice president Julia Liuson expects shortages of worldwide software development engineers to expand to one million in the next five years as the business opportunity of AIoT will shoot up. I thought we were supposed to become obsolete with the AIs replacing us?

The research suggests being disinterested in one chore at work might lead you to look for novelty in the next. For some personalities, that leads to enhanced creativity. Mission accomplished

Cybersecurity researchers from Kaspersky have discovered a new type of ransomware, and this one seems to be more dangerous than any of its predecessors for one key reason. Why don't these ransomware devs work on something important - like icons

Microsoft's hostility to Linux has softened dramatically in recent years, but the scars from the war against Linux are still visible today. It's actually a nagging cough that sometimes keeps you awake at night
Or maybe some sort of fungus (that grows on you)? Medical diagnosis and analogies really isn't my thing.
