Microsoft’s latest Windows security updates might break your VPN
There’s no proper fix until Microsoft pushes a patched update. However, you can work around the issue by uninstalling all the security updates. In an unfortunate bit of timing for CEO Satya Nadella, he said last week that he wants Microsoft to put “security above else.” I can’t imagine making customers (temporarily) choose between going without a VPN and losing the latest protection is what he had in mind.

Microsoft open sources MS-DOS 4.0
More open source surprises for you today, coming from Microsoft too which is always interesting to see as they've now open sourced MS-DOS 4.0.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
which is not what #Microsoft is doing.
MS tries to lock people into their own proprietary formats.
People can't switch away from it easily - ramped up switching costs.
Pure monopolistic practices.
@itsfoss just published an article for April Fools' Day.

It's really one of the better April Fools' pranks I've ever come across. It's grounded and almost believable that it actually had me there for a minute! 😂
Good one, guys!

Most people following probably know some of this.
For the rest of us, @itsfoss has a great break down and more detailed look, at the differences between VS-Code and VS-Codium.
In basic, both are free and open source. However, Microsoft owns VS-Code, which has telemetry elements enabled by default and contains some non-open bits.

Ganz genau... wenn jede Implementation beliebig von der Empfehlung (Recommendation) abweicht, kann man sich ein Standardprotokoll auch sparen... 😉
Ernsthaft, beliebig neue Felder zu nutzen, mag vereinzelt 'ne nette Idee sein, bringt aber zwangsläufig Probleme in der Kommunikation mit sich...
Vergleiche mal die Art, wie #Microsoft & Co. z.B. den E-Mail-Standard unterlaufen... 🙁
You may need it – #Windows10 is no longer a free upgrade
Microsoft suggests four alternative installation methods: using Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (#WSL2), using a local VM, using a cloud VM, or on bare metal. It almost feels cruel to criticize it, but it seems that this really amounts to two methods.

actually had something similar pop up on a work computer. Very professional #Microsoft
Hopefully suggested notifications stay off...
If companies like #Microsoft keep sending out emails with big login buttons in them, how do they expect people to learn not to click buttons and links in #phishing emails. Corporate marketing people need to be fired for sending emails like this. Period. No second chances. Send a link in an email, lose your job. Immediately.
