Given they've been adding exactly the same boilerplate text to virtually every security KB for at least the last two decades, I doubt they've paid any attention to studies that don't start with the assumption that the user is on a dial-up connection. 
"If the computer starts screaming at you, pick up the handset of your land-line, and use the rotary dial to call the operator in order to disconnect the Internet."

Almost 2.7 billion records of personal information for people in the United States were leaked on a hacking forum, exposing names, social security numbers, all known physical addresses, and possible aliases. Database of mother's maiden name and favourite pet still unhacked

Vendors are already using private domains in a non-standardized way, and that's no good Bad news for those wanted to get rich by cybersquatting codeproject.internal
But somehow codeproject.farm is still available?

Did you get the link wrong on that one?

Anyone besides me remember when .local was the TLD for private networks. My internal network is a .local.

At the recent Black Hat USA conference, security researcher Michael Bargury unveiled alarming vulnerabilities within Microsoft Copilot, demonstrating how hackers can potentially exploit this AI-powered tool for malicious purposes. "Every tool is a weapon if you hold it right"

The language has been kind of loose about initializing such local objects, for historical reasons that made sense at the time. Back to the very basics
And of course the answer is, "It depends(tm)"

Back in 2016, Microsoft was all about 3D. It revealed its HoloLens technology, and it wanted its software to offer 3D features as well. It will be missed?

Poll: Have you ever used Paint 3D?
About 2 minutes when it came out. Never again, as it seemed worthless.

Same here. Switched to Paint.Net immediately.

I never have. I tried the newer version of their 2D Paint program with its ribbon interface and I couldn't stand it so I use an older version of it from 2008. I think that means it is from Windows 7 but it still works fine and I like it a lot better than their current one.

Worse-case scenario: "You basically have to throw your computer away." They didn't want Intel to feel lonely
"Nissim and Okupski note that exploiting the bug would require hackers to already have obtained relatively deep access to an AMD-based PC or server, but that the Sinkclose flaw would then allow them to plant their malicious code far deeper still." <-- once again, if people have access to your machines, bad things happen.

Controlling a problematic instability could lead to cheaper internal fusion. More mayo is always the answer
At least for Americans, it often seems (I personally don't see the appeal. Aioli on the other hand...)

Bzzt. More bacon is always the answer. Big Fatty's BBQ in White River Junction, VT even had bacon chocolate chip cookies! I was told they were excellent but could never bring myself to indulge in such depravity.

The classic games are now available in a combined package with cross-platform online multiplayer, an in-game mod browser, a new single-player episode, and more. Hopefully you can find something to run it on

Darn, I just threw out our last pregnancy test.
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.

Spaghetti underlies speedy development, and abstraction can make it hard to tell how a system works unless it has a function tracer.
