On one side, the anouncement is clearly an advertising stunt, poining out the increased capabilities to attract attention, more users and ultimately money. They're about to release on the stock market and such news make stock price go up, that's what they really care about. The preview group...

Maybe a few years late, but since it was revived, I'll add my two cents on it. Generally speaking, what you can do about it is to set the "prefered webstie language" option from your browser. This setting tells every website what languages would you prefer to read in, and in what priority...

You definitely won't get Gmail to tell you "your password is abc123", the forgot password is precisely for these cases, what happens when you use it? Otherwise, your password manager or similar thing would be the only places where the password could be written out, and the only (reasonable)...

Consider that running a local AI would cost you a lot of money in term of hardware and then power to run it (AI is very compute intensive). Unless you have a very cheap electricity available, running a local one for similar usages would likely end up costing more in the long run. ChatGPT credits...

I've already dropped the usage of antiviruses entirely, and that's my recommendation to anyone who is moderately tech savy enough not to fall to the obvious viruses and scam. For those who aren't, an antivirus is likely the least evil. For what I actually use, Windows Firewall is really good...

Not much data to say a conclusive answer, but I don't think that OneDrive throtles uploads. More often than not, it'll be your ISP who throtles you or provide asymetric connections to residential users. A speed test will quickly confirm this. There is also the chance that the ISP will degrade...

The root problem here is using online password managers, that fundamentally publish your vault on "the cloud" (ie, someone's else computer) and you access it remotely. Then your safety depends on how well implemented is this protection. From the LastPass breach, it seemed that it didn't protect...

Even if you don't know, there is always someone else with too much time to look at random pictures. Here is an example of a United States government agency that leaked a password to a random photo...

My tackle is the trusty password manager, I use KeePass mostly because it's totally offline (no problems with website hackings like the online ones) so everything is in my computer. It takes care of autogenerating passwords, storing them and providing it to others when needed. Being open source...

Seems like you've got a broken browser after all, and the update also bundled a new Edge version. Happy coincidence. For me, updates that included noticeable changes also caused problems, specially in recent versions, so I disabled them as soon as I finished insalling Windows.

With such things available, properly using Responsible Disclosure becomes more critical than ever

Without knowing too much about your specific environment, but there is a chance that it happens because the users, when leaving the remote session, just close the remote desktop instead of logging off their session. It can also happen when you use the thing locally. Just closing the remote...

It depends exactly on what do you mean by "system reset" and what guiadance you've been given. A factory reset, provided you have the required media or the vastly superior clean install will often delete all your files, so you need to restore them from backups afterwards. I'm however wandering...

My fundamental rule is that any backup set I make must let me to install a clean system from scratch, without losing any data, by recreating everything. Bonus points for preserving settings of frequently used programs. From top of my head, these are the most important things I do when thinking...

No talking particularly of backup software but generally on any kind of free software, there are quite a few income chanels possible. To name a few: - The developer offers a free and a paid version, with the free one limited on features and heavily advertising the paid one. Chances are that the...
