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?

Microsoft Dev Box is a managed service that enables developers to create on-demand, high-performance, secure, ready-to-code, project-specific workstations in the cloud. Who needs a fast computer when you can just need a very fast network connection instead?

Another way to sucker you into paying for Azure with a "trial" account. I'd be curious to try it, but I don't want to hand over my credit card.

Cybersecurity researchers said they have developed a way to exploit targets just using emojis. I knew that happy face looked a little shifty
well, 💩

As far as I'm concerned, most emojis are malware.

Researchers have discovered at least 9,000 exposed VNC (virtual network computing) endpoints that can be accessed and used without authentication, allowing threat actors easy access to internal networks. But I did leave a Post-it on the computer saying not to hack it. Doesn't that count?

It’s a mistake that was made more than 100 years ago, but the consequences are far-reaching in today’s world. That’s because the way we model color space underpins modern computer graphics, image processing, and visualization tasks – if you’ve ever wondered just why we refer to “RGB” color, it’s because of this model. The cat was alive this whole time?
OK, wrong Schrödinger theory.

Understand the strengths, weaknesses, use cases, and future directions of Google’s hit programming language. Duh! Collecting $200
Just out of random curiousity as I beat that horse/joke into paste - do they change it in the UK/Europe/elsewhere? Not on the custom boards, but the "official" release.

The UK release uses names of roads in London, the Israeli release uses names of streets in various towns in Israel (in Hebrew), and I assume the same holds for other official country-based releases.

What about passing the Go square? It is 200 pounds, and 200 shekels?

UK pounds, Israel - Used to be IL (Israeli Lira), don't know what a "modern" set has.
Basically everything costs the same, but in local currency.

So it's really cheap to play in Italy.

To complicate this, in Australia the street names were all English (so kinda random for us) but the currency was $ not £.

We need a cryptocurrency version of Monopoly along with housing market crashes and escalating rent prices due to pandemics.

And instead of hotels it's NFTs?

The Federal Trade Commission has kicked off the rulemaking process for privacy regulations that could restrict online surveillance and punish bad data-security practices. Horse, meet barn door

While having animations in our apps is always a treat, implementing them without a hiccup can sometimes be challenging. Make that button bounce around the screen. Make them work for the click!

Maybe it’s proof that the 50-year-old text editor has retained its popularity — that it’s now part of the shared collective experience of the developer community. If you find out, let me know. I'm still stuck in there.

Google said the exploit, located in a garbage collection mechanism within the Linux kernel, was first reported by developers in 2016. It was a zero-day bug, not a five-year one. Who would have bothered using it?

Normally Google is the surveillance company, but in this case they deserve a big Thank You from anyone who uses Linux in any form.

Then it can only be attributed to human error.
