»Ukraine-Friedenskonferenz: die Schweiz im Visier Putins«
— von @watson_news
Nun ja, überraschend ist dies nun nicht aber ob die Schweiz darauf technisch so wie mental und strukturell vorbereitet ist, kann ich nicht beurteilen. Meines Wissens wird ua an vielen Orten blind Windows genutzt und den Anti-Virus Software vertraut.
Folks who worked on it will move on to new features and the ownership will be transferred to the servicing devision (WSD).
After a while WSD will get fed up with the cost of maintaining yet another rarely used shell feature and will deprecate it. Either that or the shell team will rewrite everything again and drop it.
See: Cortana, Timeline, People on the Taskbar, Chat, Live tiles.
I still need to take a closer look at the toots of @shadowserver but it seems to be an other argument against #PHP and #WebDev on Windows to the boss and customers… 🙄
»[…] A critical vulnerability in the PHP #programming language can be trivially exploited to execute malicious #code on #Windows devices, security researchers warned as they urged those affected to take action before the weekend starts. […]«

Love this variation on the polychromatic brick style of industrial building, using a mix of glazed and unglazed bricks. These windows are on the former sawmill offices on Craighall Road in Glasgow designed by George Bell and constructed in 1893.
This tool extracts and displays data from the Recall feature in Windows 11, providing an easy way to access information about your PC's activity snapshots.
Looks like Microsoft will make Recall opt-in. Seemingly they needed user feedback to figure out that people might not like the idea of them taking a screenshots of their screens every 5 seconds or so.
Security experts also pointed out that this would be a security nightmare. Pretty obvious, really.
This is another example why it is clear Big Tech is not to be trusted to make the right decisions, even when they are staring them in the face.
Desperate to not loose out, they are moving quickly to not be left behind, running blindly ahead without thinking of the consequences.
Whilst I find the whining of #Windows and #Adobe users about privacy infringing changes mildly annoying (We've been telling you for 20+ years that tying yourself to multi-billion-dollar corporations was a bad idea, but most of you actively chose that anyway), this might be the final push for public institutions and companies to demand open standards and formats in order to award contracts.
Why are mobile OS's the only one's that let you uninstall straight from the app icon? That sounds kind of nonsense no?
Winders, with the exception of some of MS's own apps, gives you an uninstall option but that doesn't uninstall. It takes you to the apps window where you have to manually scroll to find the app then three dot to choose uninstall where the OS clearly knows where that is.
Is there even a linux that can do this? Maybe KDE as long as the app is a flatpak?
Since Microsoft seems to not care about the #Privacy impact that the #Copilot+ #Recall feature has, I am going back to #Linux as my daily driver. All my #Homelab servers run on Debian or its derivatives, work servers run RedHat or Windows, but I have not used a Desktop Linux for quite a while as a daily driver. I've been playing with Debian 12 with Gnome for the past few days, and next I'll be playing with Fedora, which I have not used since the early 2000's. We'll see how fast I can catch up.
I'm still switching to #Debian as my primary OS and keep #Windows as a VM for some work applications, but it's good to see that MS is trying to make this controversial feature a bit more secure.
