No evidence of this on my windows 11 system, but I'm running the personal HRB software, not business. Also, a internet search for "WK ATX ServerHost 2024" shows that this certificate is likely related to some other tax softwa

So you're outraged at something that hasn't happened. Or to say it another way, you're outraged because you can imagine something bad happening?

+1 to this post. Ex-Microsoft employee here (left last year after 7 years) and I agree completely with the parent. The article makes mountains out of molehills. Every large company has its own culture and its own BS. Having worked at many

Yes, I’ve done this for years. And to be honest, I don’t think I’ve ever “caught” a business sharing a service when they shouldn’t have. Makes me question why continue to do it.

Agreed; the article is very one sided and also get some of the fundamentals wrong (for example, it uses the term “web sites” when it should be talking about domains) It also fails to draw any analogy between domain privacy services and real

It was a useful way to run kindle on a surface tablet (as the windows version of the kindle app is not touchscreen friendly). Other than that, I didn’t find many use cases.

Back in the early 2000’s I read an interview with Ben Affleck where he said his favorite pizza was HIFi! Sadly I can’t find the article via an internet search; it was in some inflight magazine I was flipping through to kill time.

You can also use docker desktop alternatives on the windows side such as Rancher Desktop or Podman Desktop. Both work similar to Docker desktop in how they integrate with WSL2, but unlike Docker Desktop both are free to use.

Slightly off topic, but why is there no ability (as far as I can tell) to lock your Apple health records with a password/pin/faceid? Seems crazy that every other app containing pii (bank, airline, etc) is lockable but my health r

I wish they were more definitive as to if there was (or was not) any compromise of the source code repository credentials. Eg could the attacker have injected malware into the code as in the Solarwinds incident?
