Microsoft said it detected Strontium (APT28) targeting VoIP phones, printers, and video decoders. What kind of world do we live in, when you can't even trust your printer?

zdnet panicked: VoIP phones, printers, and video decoders [Crocodile Dundee]
They're not IoT!

If you were going to lose your job, would you prefer to be replaced by a robot or another person? If you said robot, you’re in the majority. I think most people would rather not lose their job, but maybe that's just me
As someone who's already been replaced by a robot, of course.
So, managers: when replacing someone, just tell the victim they're being replaced by a robot. They'll feel much better.

Even when a given open source project once was the right technical choice, sometimes you need to leave it behind. Here's how to tell when it's time to find another option. "So get out your seat and jump around!"

Microsoft launched today the Azure Security Lab, a sandbox-like environment designed to enable security professionals to test Azure security without actually endangering the company's customers. Are the hacks scalable as long as you pay for more servers?
|
|
|
|
|
So they've finally found it within themselves to provide something that's SOP?
God bless cloud services. Long may they... Be ignored by anyone who has a clue about security.

Microsoft's new command-line tool, Terminal, gets its biggest update ever. "The only way to beat the competition is to stop trying to beat the competition."
Seems a little a-historical (around MS-DOS' history), but I didn't know the bit about Phoenix (long may they press F2. Or was it DEL?)

Lots of kudos to these guys. Thanks for making me aware of them.

Microsoft's new command-line tool, Terminal, gets its biggest update ever. Apparently it wasn't Terminal after all, it's still going
Biggest update? Isn't this the first update (after the 0.2 preview launch)?

Hold on.
- New colours for buttons?
- Windows narrator?
- "new accessibility features"?
- Background images?
- Cloud access?
Is that all they've got?
Is this the windows 8 of cmd?
It certainly looks like it.
All it's lacking is live tiles to access your scripts.

Does it support icons?
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

I do hope they get the colors and fonts right this time at least. The current colors/fonts for terminal is dark, fuzzy and not quite view friendly, like the ones in x-window of *nix system

IBM accused of targeting older workers as 'up to 100,000' laid off | ZDNet[^]
They will surely be surprised when the next generation of issues pop up
On a serious note:
I don't know if all the "old farts" are that good, but there are for sure a big number of seniors that have better / healthier practices as the youngsters, just out of experience.
Doing such an aggressive campaign against age, is IMHO not a good idea.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

The risk arising out of this is already seen in the Boeing Max case.

And the sad part is that it seems no one has learned from it

Oh surprise, surprise.
It won't help their image with the young and the hip because it's not cool to work at IBM any more and never will be no matter what they do.

I can't remember a time when it ever was cool to work there.

No, but it's easier to convince a 22 year old to work 70 hour weeks for peanuts than someone who's older and wiser. And that's what it's all about.
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?

Using kinetic energy, it's got the potential to be more efficient than solar panels. They thought of everything with that language, didn't they?

Rust never sleeps, so it might as well do something useful since it's awake, anyway.

Agreed. I learned that in Ohio when I was young-er, before I started rockin' in the free world.

But now you're an old man with tired eyes, it indeed might be better to burn out than to become helpless. I might become a campaigner for that idea.
