I hate it when buzzwords become popular because then the phrase becomes misused by people who don't know what it actually means.

Many Apple Silicon Macs still haven't made the jump from the M1 generation to the M2, and the Mac Pro is still using an Intel processor, but some app developers have already begun to see signs that Apple is testing members of the M3 chip family. "uh-huh. yea. ok. mmm-hmm. ok but how about support for at least 2 external screens?"

Google released the top-level domain .zip to the public recently, which means that interested organizations and users may register .zip domains. Cyber criminals are already using .zip domains in phishing campaigns. If you build it, they will come.

On the one hand... this
On the other hand... Microsoft ist "scanning for malware" zip files that are protected with passwords.
The *.zip is dead, God bless the *.rar

The CEO of OpenAI, the startup behind ChatGPT, told a Senate panel on Tuesday the use of artificial intelligence to interfere with election integrity is a "significant area of concern", adding that it needs regulation. We all know why we're here - in the last six months Sam Altman has created a sword with untold possibilites, and yet he insists it's a shield. He asks that we trust him as we cower behind it.

In the first three months of this year a third of the country's electricity came from wind farms, research from Imperial College London has shown. Welp, seeing as how wind not blowing and the sun not shining is a recent development, maybe you should join the research teams trying desperately to make sure those never happen again.

My recent feature on passkeys attracted significant interest, and a number of the 1,100-plus comments raised questions about how the passkey system actually works and if it can be trusted. In response, I've put together this list of frequently asked questions to dispel a few myths and shed some light on what we know—and don't know—about passkeys. If they're so safe and easy, why are there 100s of more comments on an article that essentially tries to quell those fears and questions?

Despite initially promising workers that they could continue to work from home where applicable following the mandate set out by the pandemic, Dell is now turning back on its decision and asking workers to return to the office. Oh, and remember: next Friday is Hawaiian shirt day. So, you know, if you want to, go ahead and wear a Hawaiian shirt and jeans.

Dell is not the only one in that.
And what many of those managers don't check is... breaking your own word / promises is not the best you might do.
Workers that have changed their way of living (i.e. terminating cheap / good rented flats, selling a second car that might not be needed when WFH...), they are going to be pissed off like hell because "new" purchases got way more expensive in the meanwhile.
ADD: In other words, there might be workers that say "go and ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) yourself"... I probably would say it.

Quote: Acknowledging that the news may leave some workers struggling to find suitable provisions, such as childcare, the request is being made on an “as soon as you can arrange it” basis (via The Register (opens in new tab)).
Translation: They're starting with a soft mandate to allow unhappy employees to find new jobs and quit so they don't have to sack them and pay severance.
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?

"Some of us" do not have a WFH option and never did even at the height of the pandemic.
Needless to say, "some of us" have absolutely no sympathy for the little snowflakes whining about going to the office. Harsh? Not even a little... Policies change based on circumstance - it's called reality.

Frankly, if I had to work from home, I'd probably quit. I tried it when I had COVID and absolutely hated it.

Dell's promise that employees could WFH presumably led some employees to make financial decisions, e.g. moving to a cheaper place outside commuting distance, selling the second car, etc. I can understand and sympathize with their anger when Dell went back on its word.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

That's life. Businesses are no different than individuals or any other group of people (including governments). Situations change. All of us should have learned this concept before we left middle school.

Three companies accused of falsifying millions of public comments to support the contentious 2017 federal repeal of net neutrality rules have agreed to pay $615,000 in penalties to New York and other states, New York's attorney general said Wednesday. See this is why I send vials of my blood to websites where I make comments. It's not "weird" -- it's proof of identity.

Seriously? a third of 615k for that? The owners must be ROFLING so hard...
Next time please make them write 100 times "I won't do it again" in a blackboard. Maybe that's more efficient.
