The Operation Triangulation spyware attacks targeting iPhone devices since 2019 leveraged undocumented features in Apple chips to bypass hardware-based security protections. Why undocumented features is bad: iPhone edition

Amazing that, given how good Apple is at keeping their products secret.

I got a real chuckle out of the FSB's accusation against Apple and the NSA when the Chinese are just as likely to have discovered these flaws and have actively been using them against Russia. Not saying the NSA isn't using it but that the Chinese are just as likely to use it.

A new Windows Update feature could be a game-changer for those scared of losing files or pictures when attempting to reinstall or recover their Windows 11 installations. The Update giveth, and the Update taketh away

I think this is a significant advance. And a tribute to software modularity.

And it is as reliable as Windows Update usually is for not clobbering your work? 
(To be fair, it has been a while since I've lost work to Windows Update - probably because I always save after learning the lesson the hard way more than once.)

(Is that book still being read? 48 years after it was written. It was a classic in my study days, and that is long ago.)
It depends on how you measure productivity. Without that huge crowd of open source developers, we wouldn't have a choice of 32 different distros and 23 file systems to choose from.
I have been working with proprietary systems providing a single file system for their machine! On the one system, the OS existed in just two main variants. That says something about how a proprietary environment kills creativity and productivity.

I would still recommend it to anyone studying Systems Engineering, and to many managers.

The act of writing Code and writing Prose is the same. They both use the same mental processes, have language constructs and audiences, and require significant focus to be effective. Once upon a time, there was a variable named 'i'...

While chemical batteries are governed by classical laws of physics, microscopic particles are quantum in nature, so we have a chance to explore ways of using them that bend or even break our intuitive notions of what takes place at small scales When in doubt, slap a "quantum" on it. That solves everything.
