Wasn't the reason that development of the personal stand-on helicopter was dropped by the US Army in the 60s/70s because a soldier was way too vulnerable when flying on the platform? The same thing surely applies to ship boarding. I suppose one might argue that a RIB or helicopter is equally vulnerable, so this is no worse and expands the range of boarding options.
I wonder if this is more of a recruiting tool. It's something nice to think of while you're going through the hellfun of training or sitting neck-deep in a bog in a jungle somewhere.

A driver that’s been pushed for the past 12 years to Dell computer devices for consumers and enterprises contains multiple vulnerabilities that could lead to increased privileges on the system. Dude - you're getting a malware attack!

Buer malware is back and it's written in a completely different coding language than it was before - but it's still being used to infect users to make them vulnerable to other cyber attacks. Everyone's jumping on the Rust bandwagon!

Disney has finally showed off a first look at its “real” retractable lightsaber, which the company started teasing in April, with a new video showing the saber in action — and it looks very, very cool. Alas, the local store is sold out of Khyber crystals

A pretty good article, though I was going to hoot derisively at its suggestion to schedule pair programming sessions. But wow, this is probably one of those rare instances where it actually makes sense--as long as both parties can hold their farts.

That's a team-building exercise

It sure is, because it involves sacrifice no matter how it turns out!

What? I thought the process was:
1) Be given computer
2) Be introduced
3) Spend 30-60 days trying to figure out why you were hired.

That’s the non-fiction version. This is the alternative.

At the large company where I worked for many years, one innovative manager had a desktop application developed circa 1990. Its moniker was BOSS: Buns On SeatS. Managers used it to register new hires and internal transfers. It provided a checklist, along with procedures, for getting a cube and workstation, scheduling orientation and technical courses, and so on. It also recorded the date and time of arrival, and who would meet the employee at the entrance and take them to get badged. The application was a resounding success because there were stories of people showing up on their first day with no one knowing which department had hired them and, once that got sorted, of having to work in the cafeteria until a cube and workstation could be arranged.

Sometimes Windows updates just don’t work, and a Microsoft-recommended “sfc /scannow” or DISM command won’t help. So what’s a prudent Windows user to do? Isn't it always?

In a new study out Monday, scientists say they can now record people’s brain activity wirelessly throughout the day—a feat that could allow for better research into the brain’s inner workings. Y'all have been doing that with my brain via the newsletter for a while
Or at least what (almost) passes for my brain these days.

Don't let Google find out about this!

Google just tries to identify you. That's they're right, by the laws that we make.
I wonder what the brain looks like during FaceBook sessions.

Aw, they will, for the individual. Not for "tech", because that provides jobs.
