For decades, hopeful techies have been promising a world where absolutely every object you encounter—bandages, bottles, bananas—will have some kind of smarts thanks to supercheap programmable plastic processors. "I want to say one word to you. Just one word. Plastics"

I'm guessing that the benefits of this will be far outweighed by the abuses.

That is cynical, curmudgeonly, and 100% accurate.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Xamarin co-founder and former Microsoft exec Miguel de Icaza blasted the company -- along with many others -- for introducing closed-source functionality in a new scheme for the official C# extension for Visual Studio Code, calling the move "an unacceptable abuse of power." You leave a company for a few months, and they're already changing the locks

This opt-in warning prevents the use of type names (e.g. classes, structs, and interfaces) that are all lowercase. "Cruising under your radar, watching from satellites"

Maybe I didn't have enough sleep. I read the headline in the Daily Mail as keyBOARDS several times. I finally had to click to see what these new keyBOARDS would look like.
Somehow when I clicked that link, you changes that word to keyWORDS.
How'd you do that?
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

SpaceX’s president criticized the letter as ‘overreaching activism’ Freedom of speech for me, but not for thee

I read Shotwell's letter to SpaceX employees. The firing wasn't about whining about Musk, it was because the way these employees did this caused other employees to report them for creating a hostile work environment, which is an immediate firing offense at almost all companies.
Of course the media will distort this as "don't criticize Musk if you work for one of his companies."

From Talos, the giant bronze automaton who guarded the princess Europa in ancient Greek myths, to Cylons and Terminators, the idea of artificial humans has both fascinated and creeped us out for centuries. On our way to a cybernetic organism: living tissue over a metal endoskeleton.

Cybersecurity researchers uncover MaliBot, a powerful new Android malware. Be careful what you download, and from where. I guess I have to stop downloading music on my phone from websites in Chinese.

At Canva, we made the conscious decision to adopt the monorepo pattern with its benefits and drawbacks. Since the first commit in 2012, the repository has rapidly grown alongside the product in both size and traffic. I'd be somewhat intimidated on my first day of work if I cloned a repo with 60 million lines.

Last week, Cloudflare automatically detected and mitigated a 26 million request per second DDoS attack — the largest HTTPS DDoS attack on record. Our DDoS attacks will blot out the sun!

The data are clear: cyberattacks have been on the rise in recent years and the cybersecurity situation is increasingly complex. Humans! I knew it was them! Even when it was the bears. I knew it was them!

Human error... I find it OK, but too generic.
Being a bit more specific:
- One part are dumb users that click on everything they get in their inbox mail folder or in dubious places of the internet
- One part are dumb so called programers that have no damned clue about security and make all possible errors in their Apps / Webs
- One part are not dumb but way too stressed programers that have not enough time / resources to do their job properly
- One part are all of us as society because we are always wanting everything without realizing that only because we can do / have one thing, it doesn't mean that we should.
On the other hand...
100% of the ciberattacks are made possible by human malignity and greed
