Dell is warning customers of a data breach after a threat actor claimed to have stolen information for approximately 49 million customers. Dude. You're getting hacked.

So Name, physical address, and order information only. No financial information was breached. In other words, only the order information is new on the dark web. I'm not too worried about this breach because I won't talk to anyone claiming to be from a company trying to help me unless I called them.

You need to re-think that. It's not just public companies doing data mining.

Better career opportunities might be available if you are willing to upskill in AI. The other 33% are managers without AI skills

and 100% of them have no fvcking clue about what is AI and that "using" chatGPT or co, has nothing to do with programming it. And programming it is ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) ing difficult and the biggest part of people who tells they can it, plainly lie

Sources slam aggressive 'back to school' grading system as HR vows to track VPN use, badge swipes Roses are red, on-site workers are blue. When it's time for a promotion, it's all how they colour you.
I'm very certain better ones will follow

Remote are red
on-site are gold
when bad times come
They'll be out in the cold

Developers are falling out of love with agile software development, with some even declaring it "dead." Here's why they hate agile — and how to revitalize it. It's just pining for the Scrum meetings

Surprise surprise, considering that most of the "Agile" companies use it wrong and at the end it is more a load than a help...

A new survey from Cisco reveals that software developers are spending more than 57% of their time in “war room” meetings to resolve application performance issues, rather than focusing on building new software to drive innovation. Remember to aim for the base of the code when trying to put out fires

If there were not such a hurry to deliver new versions people could be way more effective and innovative, what would reduce the firefighting too.
But looks like common sense is something absent in most of C-Levels

In a recent Microsoft Edge build, Microsoft has started testing several flags that may allow the company to block browser’s capabilities when Windows 11 is not activated. Because there's no way people wouldn't just switch to alternatives

Microsoft already enables BitLocker by default in Windows 11 23H2, but starting with Windows 11 24H2, Microsoft is apparently implementing a new setup process that automatically activates BitLocker encryption during reinstallation You will be encrypted

This is an outrage. That means you won't be able to access your files from a different install of an OS. And even if you can turn it off for yourself, your relatives are out of luck if their OS ever fails to boot.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

I can see why one might want this for a mobile device or a laptop. I can see why enterprises would want this. Why would your average person want this on their home computer?
The biggest risk for your average user's home computer is attacks via the internet, against which encryption helps not at all. Even if one has secrets (e.g. financial data) on one's computer, this is overkill. An encrypted directory would solve the problem without compromising performance or risking complete data loss if the password is forgotten.

Given the sheer number of laptops that are lost every year, there would be a lot less data theft if those laptops had been encrypted.

I wrote that I understand the need for encryption for mobile devices or laptops. I don't understand why desktop PCs need it.

This is my primary reason for leaving the pc support business after 30 years for good come July 1 2024 when the lease runs out at our shop. The remapping of user folders to onedrive when the users didn't know this had happened and don't know where there stuff ever was except "on my computer", now they come in with a os that is tangled up from a corruptdate and we can't get at their files because the sucker is bitlocked and I have to explain this to a user who thinks I'm crazy because they have never heard of such a thing be it onedrive or bitlocker.
Thanks mickysoft, you stupid (or just mean) f$%cs.
Long live windows 7 and windows 10 with WUAUSRV deleted.

Does anyone really know what they're up to or what they're end game may be? This seems like a lot of effort and pupose put into both one drive and bitlocking.
