I like my integrated development environment. But sometimes my IDE does things for me, and I have no idea how it’s doing them. That's a problem. No. Next question.
Does Betteridge's Law of Headlines always apply?

Former employee says software giant dismissed his warnings about a critical flaw because it feared losing government business. Not the first company to do that, nor will they be the last

same stupid Microsoft, same stupid feds. Remember back when Hillary was SoS, and the department needed to update their secure laptops. They awarded the contract to Lenovo. Some brave soul pointed out that this is a Chinese company and likely a very bad idea.
Microsoft sorry? Highly unlikely. Same old stupid stuff - more worried about advertising in their OS rather than security. Now, three days ago, this was posted: https://www.cnbc.com/2024/06/13/microsoft-employees-cybersecurity-work-will-factor-into-their-pay.html[^]
So, Microsoft consorts with the CCP and PLA while simultaneously telling their employees that they will be held accountable. What idiot is running the ship?

Good news for call center operators who are worn down by hostile customers with unreasonable demands—artificial intelligence technology can alter angry voices into calm ones. Or... (crazy talk here, please bear with me) you could not treat your customers like the stuff stuck to the bottom of your shoe?
And also, don't yell at the customer service people. They're not to blame.

YouTube reportedly now injects ads directly into video streams to make it more difficult for ad blockers to block advertisements. And now, YOU WILL see a word from our sponsor
The industry seems ripe for a new video site. I wonder if one of the many cloud providers might set one up to show how great they are at scaling and streaming?

Total Recall? 
If you can't find time to do it right the first time, how are you going to find time to do it again?

Which one?
Arnold or Collin?
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.

One of the few scenarios for us older one's, where not being able to Recall is a good thing.

Ars Technica has had a few very interesting articles about this. My previous remark calling it a debacle seems to be an understatement. For their CEO to proclaim security is their highest priority and then to come up with this is completely clueless of them, to put it lightly. If I were him there would be a LOT of bonuses withheld, if not terminations. It is entirely inexcusable. That is, if his proclamation had any truth to it at all and considering this is Microsoft that is uncertain, at best.

i hope they just make it an optional feature. no single person on the planet asked for it. seems like some program manager at Microsoft needed to keep his job doing something..cause all they do is polish icons.

This is most certainly a way to let the noise die down and then just slip it quietly into a future update hopefully with less "fanfare" this time. I was frankly surprised the even let a cat's paw out of the bag on this "Hi, you all thought we were spying on you before? well, it's all about to get real up in here. Don't worry though, AI's got you"
Viva la Windows 7 - yet again.

Just like 1 + 1, the concept of mathematical equality is one that is far from simple or universal – and that’s becoming a big problem. How about equalish?
