Not just Edge's news feeds, but also Edge's notification feature. I regularly clean out notifications that claim your McAfee license has expired (on machines that have never had McAfee installed).

That's just how good the McAfee antivirus is - it can find viruses while still remaining on the store shelf!

Since MS got rid of their QA people, what's wrong with others offering it to you? They are just going out of their way to give you a service.

If you don't want to wait to be officially updated through Windows Update, you can get it right now through the official channels via Microsoft, and enjoy all of the new features. Be the first on your block to not be able to find any new features!

note that the article does not mention the requirement for a late-model hardware (2.0) TPM.
that, i think, may lead to gnashing of teeth.
Maybe i'm so behind the times i haven't heard of an MS sanctioned way around that ?

No, MS still requires TPM 2.0.
Personally, the supposed extra security provided by TPM is not enough of a reason to reformat and reinstall everything on my computer, from the O/S up. I'm quite happy with Win10 in its nonsecure mode, and have no reason to change it at the moment.

Thanks, Daniel,
If installing Win 11 would require reinstalling all my apps, that means bill will never go there.

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?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you

Ethereum’s biggest-ever upgrade just took effect, in what industry experts are calling a game changer for the entire crypto sector. It's still imaginary money, but now with less power consumption
Yeah, yeah. I know. All money is imaginary.

Federal government agencies are now required to obtain a self-attestation from any third-party software providers they use. This is essentially a guarantee from the vendor that their product meets minimum NIST standards for secure software development. Would a 'pinky swear' count?

This is in line with the American Data Privacy and Protection Act (H.R. 8152) working its way through Congress. So far I generally like what I'm seeing in this Act. Section 103 is titled "Privacy by design" and focuses entirely on software companies self-certifying they are writing code that's secure by design.
It looks like this Act was written by people who actually understand data security and privacy issues.

IOW, the security is as reliable as a marketer's promise.

Big news in the world of digital creative technology: Adobe today announced that it would acquire Figma for $20 billion, taking out one of its biggest rivals in the realm of digital design. "I felt a great disturbance in the Force... as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened."
Design folk I know are _not_ happy about this one.

Quote: for approximately $20 billion
yeah cause rounding such large numbers is not an issue., even if just 19.8, that's rounding of 200 MILLION, enough to buy millions of companies.
stop rounding. rant over, just a recent realisation that I need a reasonable why to questions and things to close these loops in my thinking😣

Do aliens exist? Almost certainly. The Universe is vast and ancient, and our corner of it is not particularly special. If life emerged here, it probably did elsewhere. People keep giving them money to do it?
