As part of the latest Windows updates, Microsoft fixed the broken drag-and-drop on the address bar, finally allowing you to move folders and files to a folder or few above the current one (Microsoft calls that "breadcrumbs"). When the new features are just old broken features coming back

Cell by Stephen King?
Nope, nope, nope.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

Pretty good, can't go into it much without spoiling. There was a movie made, starring Samuel L Jackson and John Cusack.

Cybercriminals are abusing Stack Overflow in an interesting approach to spreading malware—answering users' questions by promoting a malicious PyPi package that installs Windows information-stealing malware. Beware of geeks bearing gift tips

The built-in business messaging service in Google Maps and Search will stop working in July. Step 1: don't tell anyone about features. Step 2: cancel feature. Step 3: Profit?

Every year there are at least a couple of weather soothsayers that can boost: Look! That is exactly what I said in March!
