Apologies everyone. It seems this news item was from 2018. As much as I'd like to blame CNet's use of AI to write articles, this was due to my own A(lack of)I. We'll try to do better in the future.

I think "You are not going to receive the last computer you ordered" would be more accurated

You might not get an RMA because you allegedly bent a socket pin. Oh, no, that is standard procedure, my bad.

First clue something was wrong was paragraph 3 being half a year off the current date:

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I love NewEgg - would buy from there in a heartbeat instead of Amazon. That said and having been a customer for 20 years, it seems to me I should have an email from them....
fail on their part.

lol. NOW you tell me. Someone at NewEgg is looking at my message saying, "Oh crap, another breach?"

Sorry about that. When I saw the news item, I was so miffed that I added it to the newsletter without double checking the date. 
(But I agree, I'd still much rather deal with NewEgg than Amazon)

Reading disassembly is more like reading tracks than reading a book. Be vewy, vewy quiet. We're hunting eax

In my experience reading disassembly is a lot harder than writing assembly, even when starting from C code. Useful though to debug some issues, just this Friday I tracked a bug in the ROM supplied CRT library of our system on chip thanks to the disassembly window (bug = they left BKPT instruction in a friggin loop in the virtualization of printf, some of their code used printf and the controller looked unresponsive while it was simply doing what it was programmed to do).

A large, engaged community of open source developers is awaiting a milestone release of Avalonia, a cross-platform UI framework for .NET that boasts more than 2.2 million installs. "Now the party's over"

According to Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, merely advocating for a cessation in the advancement of artificial intelligence won’t address the impending hurdles that come with the technology’s progress. Instead, we should send a soldier back to prevent it from being created
And to shoot Hitler as a baby, of course.

A security researcher found a series of vulnerabilities with the Nexx brand of smart garage openers. He says he could remotely find garages to target, and then open them across the internet. Well, that is pretty smart, isn't it?

And that's exactly why I would like to do my own thing, I will probably have a less secure system that other offer, but being exclusive makes it safer than most products of the market.

The radio signal indicates that the Earth-like planet may have its own magnetic field, a key component for habitability. Someone using the microwave again?

If it were a radio signal of us just being reflexed, would be funny
On the other hand... if not... I am not sure if we should be happy or afraid.
