New research shows that while many Brits will snap shut a laptop camera in the name of privacy, a worrying amount will just as happily shovel all manner of personal information into an online game in order to get a result they can share with their friends.

It’s time to update your BIOS immediately to prevent any damage to your Raptor Lake CPU. So it can break during the BIOS update instead of while running

Why would i want to install a BIOS update that crashes my CPU?

We introduce the first developer preview of the Pigweed SDK, making it even easier to leverage Pigweed’s libraries to develop, debug, test, and deploy embedded C++ applications. "It's time we're aware it's a small world after all"
No apologies for getting this stuck in your head, it's the only way to get it out of mine.
(well, there are three ways, but this is the most satisfying)

I was thinking more along the lines of silk purses and sow's ears.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

Meh. It looks like although they've billed it as being for 32-bit MCUs they're focused on RPi Pico devices. I don't even like those, to be honest.

I'm glad you posted it. Even though the Picos aren't my cup of tea I like to keep abreast of the goings on of the field, and I rely in part on Code Project for that (not heavily, as there isn't a lot of embedded here, but I do check daily)

SafeBreach security researcher Alon Leviev revealed at Black Hat 2024 that two zero-days could be exploited in downgrade attacks to "unpatch" fully updated Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server systems and reintroduce old vulnerabilities. Windows Unupdate
Thanks, security "researchers" :angry:
"Microsoft said today that it's still working on a fix for the Windows Update Stack Elevation of Privilege (CVE-2024-38202) and Windows Secure Kernel Mode Elevation of Privilege (CVE-2024-21302) vulnerabilities used by Leviev to elevate privileges, create malicious updates, and reintroduce security flaws by replacing Windows system files with older versions." <-- coming soon in a Windows unupdate near you.

Terawatt lasers with a large enough aperture would also do the job, by vaporizing the satellites. This would have the advantage of keeping the power plant where it's easily serviceable.
(As the satellites are vaporized, we won't get a Kessler syndrome)

Users just want stuff that works. How hard can it be? "Fast, good or cheap — pick two"
Shocking data: "Ali points to research (commissioned by himself) that shows British adults would much rather software worked properly than was chock full of new features."
---
"Testing is kind of one of those tools that are there, but in order for testing to actually be able to work at all you need to know what you're testing. So you need good requirements to outline the non-functional requirements that are there." <-- can I get an 'amen'?
