You may recall the Keystone Kops reenactment that goes by the code name CVE-2019-1367. In short:
Sept. 23: Microsoft released the CVE-2019-1367 bulletin, and published Win10 cumulative updates in the Microsoft Catalog for versions 1903, 1809, 1803, 1709, 1703, Server 2019 and Server 2016. It also released an IE rollup for Win7, 8.1, Server 2012 and Server 2012 R2. Those were only available by manual download from the Catalog — they didn&t go out through Windows Update, or through the Update Server.
Sept. 24: Microsoft released &optional, non-security& cumulative updates for Win10 version 1809, 1803, 1709, 1703, 1607/Server 2016. Nothing for Win10 version 1903. We also got Monthly Rollup Previews for Win7 and 8.1. Microsoft didn&t bother to mention it, but we found that those Previews include the IE zero-day patch as well. This bunch of patches went out through normal channels— Windows Update, Update Server— but they&re &optional& and &Preview,& which means most savvy individuals and companies won&t install them until they&ve been tested.

For some time now, the PC market has been partially operating backward. Intel, who built the heart of the PC, would create a product then toss it out to the OEMs…who then had to build around it. This is analogous to having an automotive engine company building what they want & say a 16-cylinder engine & and having the car manufacturers build around it.
The way most manufacturing works is the engineers designing the product come up with a spec for a major component, and the component maker builds the part to the spec. This process is best because the OEM is closer to the customer, has the best sense of what the market needs, and is more able to set the spec than the parts vendor. When you do it backward, the tail is wagging the dog, and the product is sub-optimal.

Google has launched a web-based hacked-password checker, part of its efforts to bake an alert system into Chrome.
Called "Password Checker," the service examines the username-password combinations stored in Chrome's own password manager and reports back on those authentication pairings that have been exposed in publicly-known data breaches.
[ Further reading: Google's Chromium browser explained ]The web version can be found at passwords.google.com<>, the umbrella site for Chrome users who run the browser after logging in with their Google account, then use that to synchronize data - including passwords - between copies of Chrome on different devices.

After two years working toward his computer science degree, pilot fish decides to take a summer job that has nothing to do with computers. He ends up working for the regional tourism bureau as a photographer and coordinator for a float that the bureau is building for a local citycentennial celebration.
When it rains, the float stays in storage and fish just helps out around the office. Where he notices an old Commodore 64 in the corner. Which he decides he could just take a look at. And thatit; hesucked back into the world of computers the instant he sees what is up with that ur-PC. (Where all good pilot fish belong, anyway.)
The Commodore is used to print mailing labels for the bureaunewsletters and other mass mailings. But the program to print the labels has all the addresses hard-coded. Any additions, deletions or other changes require you to edit the program, and then search for the address or add extra lines to put in a new address.
