Security researcher Marcus Mengs discovered that the flaws are caused by Logitech dongles' outdated firmware and that they allow attackers with physical access to their targets' computers to exploit the bugs and launch keystroke injection attacks, record keystrokes, and take control of compromised systems. People with physical access to your keyboard (dongle) can enter keys?
hhhWWWWwhaaaaaat?

I've discovered a vulnerability where someone with physical access to your device (not just electronic) can walk away with it!

But the questipn is: Do you make money out of it?
Bluddy "researchers" are malware producers by another name -- and they all stink of sh1t.

It turns out that you don’t need a computer to create an artificial intelligence. In fact, you don’t even need electricity. My latest transparent attempt at clickbait

Quote: “We could potentially use the glass as a biometric lock, tuned to recognize only one person’s face,” Yu said. “Once built, it would last forever without needing power or internet, meaning it could keep something safe for you even after thousands of years.” Well, I'll just have to see about that.

Microsoft said it "strongly recommends" that users and admins install this latest SSU before installing the latest cumulative update, which was released along with this month's Patch Tuesday updates. Our patches have patches

I'll bet that the patch just renames it "Insecureboot"!
That's what I'd do.

doctest is a relatively new C++ testing framework but is by far the fastest both in terms of compile times (by orders of magnitude) and runtime compared to other feature-rich alternatives. C++ devs test their code?

I use Catch. It doesn't have built-in coverage tools, but does the job I need it to do.

Break up the tech giants? Been there, (almost) done that. But the DOJ’s battle to rein in Microsoft didn’t turn out the way anyone expected. "Memories, sweetened thru the ages just like wine"

What a silly article. Quote: “You either fit into their Windows ecosystem or they would attempt to destroy you.” Yeah, sure.
Then they repeat the nonsense about Netscape, conveniently ignoring that it a) was being given away and b) sucked.
The article also fails to account for two complete Microsoft fails; IE and Phone (as in going from the handheld scanner market to phones.) Aside from other reasons, they just didn't care. I expect Google and Amazon to eventually head down the same rabbit hole.

I could say the same about your comment. You repeat the top level ranting point mantra that IE was the problem; while ignoring that the problem wasn't that IE6 sucked, it got its high 90s percentage market share because it was much better than the buggy unstable POS that was Nutscrape 4.7. The problem was that MS declared victory around the 90% market share point stopped developing IE and disbanded the dev team beyond a handful of people who were chasing security vulnerabilities while first Mozilla and then Google continued developing the web and created browsers that left IE in the dust.
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?

That was my badly made point; Microsoft lost dominance in two areas due to their apathy. It's interesting to me how many dominant companies lose their position in a similar way. Yes, there may be stiff competition, but the refusal or inability to adapt plays a large role. Sears comes to mind.

When a company reaches a certain size, with the inevitable percentage of employees who are dog-@rse useless at their jobs, everyone stops worrying about "external competition", because all their time is focussed on the competition for their jobs from dog-@rsed incompetent employees who are better at sucking up to the boss.

IBM today closed on its whopping $34 billion acquisition Red Hat, bringing together tools and expertise in their quest to become the world’s top hybrid cloud provider, while providing customers greater access to open-source technologies. But I thought red and blue made purple?

How long before the temptation to meddle becomes too strong?
Less snarky, what will happen to Fedora and CentOS when things don't quite turn out to be sunshine, rainbows and unicorns?

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?

There is an essential part of consumerist culture that prefers buying something to doing something. I felt it was important you learned this shocking and radical message
Yeah, very slow news day and I'm panicking.

I know a lot of developers who get a MacBook and then immediately put Windows on it (boot camp) and then almost exclusively use Windows.

I remember doing that fondly - before they ruined the MacBook.
