The head of Microsoft's Security Response Center defends keeping its initial vulnerability disclosures sparse — it is, she says, to protect customers. And yet they persist

a.k.a. we were so busy making new icons that we did not even know about those... what was the name again? bugs? security holes?... whatever...

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you

Microsoft Dev Box is a managed service that enables developers to create on-demand, high-performance, secure, ready-to-code, project-specific workstations in the cloud. Who needs a fast computer when you can just need a very fast network connection instead?

Researchers have discovered at least 9,000 exposed VNC (virtual network computing) endpoints that can be accessed and used without authentication, allowing threat actors easy access to internal networks. But I did leave a Post-it on the computer saying not to hack it. Doesn't that count?

It’s a mistake that was made more than 100 years ago, but the consequences are far-reaching in today’s world. That’s because the way we model color space underpins modern computer graphics, image processing, and visualization tasks – if you’ve ever wondered just why we refer to “RGB” color, it’s because of this model. The cat was alive this whole time?
OK, wrong Schrödinger theory.

Just out of random curiousity as I beat that horse/joke into paste - do they change it in the UK/Europe/elsewhere? Not on the custom boards, but the "official" release.

The UK release uses names of roads in London, the Israeli release uses names of streets in various towns in Israel (in Hebrew), and I assume the same holds for other official country-based releases.

Maybe it’s proof that the 50-year-old text editor has retained its popularity — that it’s now part of the shared collective experience of the developer community. If you find out, let me know. I'm still stuck in there.

Google said the exploit, located in a garbage collection mechanism within the Linux kernel, was first reported by developers in 2016. It was a zero-day bug, not a five-year one. Who would have bothered using it?

Normally Google is the surveillance company, but in this case they deserve a big Thank You from anyone who uses Linux in any form.
