We’re introducing an easier and more seamless way to work with GitHub from the command line—GitHub CLI, now in beta. Say Hello to the new command-line, same as the old command-line

Proposed contract allows Verisign to raise registration fees 7 percent per year. Sounds like a dot-con
I guess Verisign has to make up for all those people not paying (through the nose) for certificates

Well, they'll just have to work 70% (the eventual total) harder at providing cr@p customer support.
Talk about money for nothing.

Artificial intelligence and machine learning aren’t the only changes to expect in QA, but they’re a big part of it. If we test with AI, will only the dumb bugs get through?

Software doesn't spontaneously generate new capabilities; it a brute force attack on nearby WiFi networks. It merely proves that a weak password gives weak security.

zdnet wrung their hands and wailed: it relies on users utilizing weak passwords for their WiFi networks So you can stop reading at that point.
Amazing, isn't it, that giving your phone number, mother's maiden name, etc, to google et al has never proved to be anywhere near as effective as using a sensible password?
And biometrics in a business environment can be an administrative nightmare.

We've all shared the frustration—software updates that are intended to make our applications run faster inadvertently end up doing just the opposite. Uh..the programmers?

I think you might owe me a new monitor. I have to see if I can get the coffee out of this one.

Every so often, a tweet goes viral showing someone making a beat by wielding two barcode scanners in front of a sheet of assorted line patterns. It's all fun and games until you get the bill after checkout

I've been looking for downsides to barcodes, to convince people to use other tech. This'll work a treat!

The special orders suggest that the FTC is honing in on the question of how Big Tech companies use acquisitions to amass power and how the data from acquired companies are used. No takies-backsies!

CNBC said: The commission voted 5-0 to issue special orders to review the past mergers. Wow.
They really did a bad job of buying off, scaring, and intimidating the commissioners!
Maybe they should start taking advice on how to run a business from honest people.

It comes as no surprise that the guidance computers aboard the Apollo 11 spacecraft were impossibly primitive compared to the pocket computers we all carry around 50 years later. I'm over the moon about this news
But I still don't think anyone's going to land anything based on their USB charger.

Sure, but the Apollo missions squeezed every microgram of usage out of the kit.
Chargers use prefabricated, multipurpose chips that are cheap to manufacture in huge numbers; they probably don't use a hundredth of the computing power that's available to them.

As I was... Bloatware is a feature or capability that an end-user will never utilize.
My new term will be Wastewear which shall be defined as a feature or capability that an end-user cannot use.

Shirley, but this is just simple economics. Having dedicated chips designed and produced exclusively for (each) charger would probably result in chargers costing five times as much.
Look at it like the Raspberry Pi: the Pi is used for all kinds of things, and probably less than one in a thousand of them uses over half of the Pi's capacity -- but it has made it possible for people to create all manner of weird and wonderful things that they otherwise wouldn't have been able to afford to create.

Don't call me Shirley
I completely understand the reality of simple economics and am not questioning the reasons for it; it's just an observation.
As for the Pi analogy; what is used and not used is a choice the end user has.

The study saw researchers make a breakthrough in the control of terahertz quantum cascade lasers, which they say could be used to transmit data at a speed of 100 gigabits. For everyone who predicted, "terahertz quantum cascade lasers", congratulations. Your prize money is available at the door.
