He points out that the core of the Windows platform works well for gaming, development, and business, thanks to features like DirectX and Active Directory.
This story should get a lot of attention. Microsoft's ruined Windows for anyone who wants control of their own computing experience.
A Reddit moderator known as “KlammereFyr” was recently convicted by a Danish court after clipping and posting hundreds of nude scenes that actresses filmed for movies and TV shows but apparently never expected to be shared out of context.
As TorrentFreak reported, dozens of actresses had complained about the mod’s sub-reddit, “SeDetForPlottet” (WatchItForthePlot), with some feeling “molested or abused.”
Demanding Danish police put an end to the forum, the Rights Alliance—representing the Danish Actors’ Association, two broadcasters, and other rightsholders—pushed for a criminal probe.
Got to admit that I don't understand the 'crime' here. A person willingly appears in a movie, knowing that it will be seen by millions.
The tech titan is steering Gmail users away from passwords. It’s promoting passkeys and stronger authentication as phishing grows more convincing.
The post Google’s Latest Security Push Marks the Slow Death of Passwords appeared first on TechRepublic.
Pushing people from passwords, which everyone can understand and everyone knows how to control - to passkeys, which are out of the user's control. There are many easy ways to backup and store a password.

ID laws are forcing companies to store massive amounts of sensitive data, turning compliance into a security risk. Acronis explains how integrated backup and cybersecurity platforms help MSPs reduce complexity and close the gaps attackers exploit. [...]

Flock Safety—the surveillance company behind the country’s largest network of automated license plate readers (ALPRs)—currently faces attacks on multiple fronts seeking to tear down the invasive and error-prone cameras across the US.
This week, two lawmakers, Senator Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and Representative Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-Ill.), called for a federal investigation, alleging that Flock has been “negligently handling Americans’ personal data” by failing to use cybersecurity best practices. The month prior, Wyden wrote a letter to Flock CEO Garrett Langley, alleging that Flock’s security failures mean that “abuse of Flock cameras is inevitable” and that they threaten to expose billions of people’s harvested data should a catastrophic breach occur.
“In my view, local elected officials can best protect their constituents from the inevitable abuses of Flock cameras by removing Flock from their communities,” Wyden wrote.
in the video of the cop accusing the lady of petty theft, he should be disciplined. It is unfortunate that we don't penalize law enforcement for such obvious lies. But it is bad law enforcement to accuse a person just because their car was in the area.
The president pardoned Changpeng Zhao, the co-founder of the world's largest crypto exchange, in October.
A presidential pardon is intended to be a rare thing that is carefully considered before being granted. This is because the pardon basically overrides the decisions of the Legislative and Judicial branches of government. Yet our president appears to have signed such a momentous document without knowing what he signed?
