Rust/WinRT follows in the tradition established by C++/WinRT of building language projections for the Windows Runtime using standard languages and compilers, providing a natural and idiomatic way for Rust developers to call Windows APIs. Just in case your Windows are Rusty

Remote work used to be an option that was nice to have if you needed it or if you were getting some extra things done over the weekend—but I don’t think any of us ever anticipated that mastering every nuance of working from home in a climate like this was going to be a critical part of our long-term success. People are working remotely? Why, is something going on?

A new report from Kenna Security takes a look at the risk landscape for Microsoft, Linux, and Mac assets. "Patches, I'm depending on you son. I've tried to do my best, it's up to you to do the rest"

Whoever thought the number of vulnerabilities would correlate to the number of patches needed to be produced? Mind blown...
|

|

At least they're fixing (some of) them?

Visual Studio Online is being rechristened as Visual Studio Codespaces. And pricing cuts are coming for all tiers as of mid-May. Changing the name is easier than explaining just what it's for
Or who really should want it.
"(An aside: Visual Studio Online originally was the name of Microsoft's DevOps hub, which ultimately was renamed to Azure DevOps.)" Naming continues to be their A-game /eyeroll.

Sure...
Fraudsters can call your bank posing as you (spoofing your phone number) and call you at the same time as if they are the bank (spoofing the bank phone number).
Certain banks will provide default info (such as your last 3 transactions) by phone because they think the fraudster is you based entirely upon phone number (since they see the spoofed your phone number when calling the bank).
The fraudster can use those 3 transactions and your spoofed number to prove he is you.
The fraudster can act like he is the bank by repeating 3 transactions to you (quite convincing) that he is seeing on your bank account -- you think it must be bank.
It's all very ugly. Hope this helps.
Conclusion
Never answer calls from bank. Just hang up or ignore. If you think it is something, get number off back of card and call bank.

Wow, thank you very very much , did not really expected an answer.
Ok, now for a moment I'm released that this does not involve 'etan' verification used for banking stuff.
Thank you very much again!

I'm paranoid. To the point of owing a (faraday cage) wallet that blocks "hands free pin" and not having money in the bank.
I would have fallen for it, since no one can know my last three transactions. Those shouldn't be available over the phone.
And I would blame the bank; they promise to keep my "money" safe. If they loose it in any way, I'd be expecting reparations.

Anyone would; if I lend you a thousand asparagus and pay you to hold them a month, I may expect a thousand asparagus after that month ends.
If your mother (or any third party) says "cook them" and you fall short, you'd be owing me some asparagus.
After COVID, quite some banks will be short asparagus.

We’re pleased to introduce the first preview of Source Generators, a new C# compiler feature that lets C# developers inspect user code and generate new C# source files that can be added to a compilation. Why write code when you can get the compiler to do it for you?
Edit: Oh, I foresee so many ways this might end up abused.
