I agree the command lines look similar, but if you use a Windows spy, the two processes look fairly different (to me). I suspect it might be convergent evolution, or similar groups doing the command line design.

Ransomware victims have paid $459,800,000 to cybercriminals in the first half of 2024, setting the stage for a new record this year if ransom payments continue at this level. Just in case you were wondering why the bad guys keep at this

And tht's only counting the companies that are known of paying...
I do wonder... how many of those companies are every year in the calculations?

Platform engineering is the latest buzzword in IT operations. And like all other buzzwords, it’s in danger of becoming meaningless—in danger of meaning whatever some company with a “platform engineering” product wants to sell. Meet the new silver bullet, same as the old silver bullet

Smartwatches might be good for tracking steps and heart rates, but they can also offer hackers a wealth of personal information to exploit, according to a new Charles Darwin University (CDU) study. tldr; Yup
Today I learned that somehow a Charles Darwin University evolved (in Australia of course. It's probably venomous.)

If it is online, it will get hacked. Period

The signal, recorded in 1977, was at first suspected to be an alien transmission. It was Colonel Mustard in the conservatory with a lead pipe

Everybody remembers Colonel Mustard, but who remembers any of the other characters?

Mrs White, Miss Peacock, uhm, Professor Plum. Miss Scarlet.
I do forget the blue guy (Oh, wait, that was Miss Peacock? Or was she Mrs.?), and if there are any others...

"Oh, wait, that was Miss Peacock? Or was she Mrs.?"
After and before the events in question, respectively.
It's never explicitly mentioned that he was a Mr. Peacock but we can make a case thusly.
Mr Green was a bit of descriptive metaphor as nickname. Peacocks have the big green eye at the ends of their feathers.
Mr Green was known to keep an eye on things. This is likely what shortened his time and shuffled him from the mortal coil.
At the funeral, Professor Plum leaned into Miss Peacock and asked if he could say a word. She said "of course!"
So he stood up and said "plethora" and sat back down.
Miss Peacock leaned over to him and whispered, "thanks, that means a lot".

UK government believes its proposed "right to switch off" will bring crucial economic and productivity benefits to the country, while also improving the well-being of workers. Less work is good work?

Less work might not be good work,
but work during work hours and then have spare time... is a different question.
First thing I do when I say "enough for today" is to switch off my work smartphone, even before switching off my laptop

We’ve added some fantastic new features and enhancements to Visual Studio 2022 v17.11 that will help you find and resolve bugs faster and easier than ever before. Not as many references to AI as I would have expected
"Auto-decompile" sounds helpful. Rude, but helpful.

A website linked to National Public Data’s massive breach was storing passwords for its back-end database in a file that anyone could’ve accessed. Maybe requiring a license to program isn't such a bad idea after all
Or maybe at least leave their personal phone number in the database.

Blocking Alphabet Inc.’s Google the way sites have blocked some of its AI competitors would also hamper a site’s ability to be discovered online. "So you have chosen...death."
I'm sure regulators will be all "OK, fine and dandy" with that.
