There's something wrong with that page.
It's white text on a black background, but I can't find the geocities logo.

Microsoft is working on adapting Windows to work on foldable devices. Sources familiar with Microsoft’s plans tell The Verge that the software maker is making foldable devices and dual-screen hardware a big investment area for both Windows and Surface. Do they fold back?

A security researcher has found, reported and now disclosed a dozen bugs that made it easy to steal sensitive information or take over any customer’s account from some of the largest web hosting companies on the internet. A "good news/bad news" kind of story

Undoubtedly, your company uses open source software. But the powers that be might express reluctance when developers want to create or maintain projects on company time. Here is a roadmap to help you convince them otherwise—starting with an internal open source project office. Here's a hint: you get to do what you love doing

Not a terrible article, but it didn't include the words "amazon" and "petty little b1tches" often enough.

A biology experiment on board China’s recent Moon lander has sprouted tiny cotton plants, marking the first time that humans have grown plants on the lunar surface, Xinhua reports. One small stem for a moon, one giant leaf for mankind

Cotton?
Who'll need cotton on the moon?
Not I, that's for sure.
They should plant hops and barley, and anything else that can be used to make beer!

In four years’ time, C will reach its 50th birthday, an anniversary also shared with PL/M and Prolog. Unlike those two, C remains immensely popular, it’s in the top ten of virtually every programming language popularity survey. Oh, say - do you C?

Dice insights is once again showing great insight -- this time in how to use a calendar.
"In four years time". Sheesh!
Why didn't they write an article on this three years, seven months, and nine days ago? It would have been just as relevant as news then as it is now.

Spreadsheets are the world’s most widely used programming language, by several orders of magnitude. We asked ourselves whether it would be possible to apply programming language research ideas to make spreadsheets a better programming language? If we could, that would empower a huge user community to do more. Does this mean we'll be able to put VBA to bed?
PLEASE?!?!?!

If someone opens a discussion by calling a spreadsheet a programming language, you just know that you're talking to someone who doesn't have a clue what he's talking about.
It's time for open-source office apps to start heavy advertising campaigns, because when ms makes spreadsheet formula constructors incomprehensible, less efficient, harder to create, and comparatively crippled, compared to what people have been used to using for the last 20 years, plenty of people will start looking for alternative apps.

All SCP (Secure Copy Protocol) implementations from the last 36 years, since 1983, are vulnerable to four security bugs that allow a malicious SCP server to make unauthorized changes to a client's (user's) system and hide malicious operations in the terminal. I'm sure no one has hacked it in all that time

Good Lord!
ZDNet has finally done something useful (I don't consider the continuous publication of overblown-but-vague scare stories to be useful).
Apparently, I missed an update of WinSCP in December, so now I'm all caught up.

Up to three years of paid support will be available after the cut-off. Upgrade is coming
If you accept Win10 as an upgrade, of course.

The paid support for 3 years is only available to volume licensing customers (businesses). Microsoft is attempting to setup agreements with Intel and AMD to only support Windows 10 moving forward with newer processors and with "Windows as a service", it's going to get really expensive in a few years.
Maybe now is a good time to invest into a few ARM processors and Linux. I just hope GTA 5 and Eve Online run well in Linux.

Awesome. Based on what I've read so far, most of my games will run fine on Linux. My only concern now is running Linux on my AMD Ryzen build. I built it just before Christmas and I'm concerned that it will take a fairly substantial performance hit, that is if I can get a distro to run on the Ryzen.
