Two Decades Of Predictable Patch Schedules Microsoft recently published a quick retrospective celebrating two decades of every IT persons favourite day, Patch Tuesday. Those somewhat new to the business may never recall a time when patches arrived in an ad hoc manner, appearing out of nowhere to install on your systems. It was a wild time, as not every patch came in quietly and trying to figure out why several machines suddenly had issues was a frequent headache. We did get emails about what was being pushed, but usually without enough time to block them until they could be properly…

Mozilla also lists the good guys who do respect their customers personal data, such as Garmin, and kudos to several regulators for actually doing their jobs in 2023. Amazon has been on…

It is not just the most quiet at full speed, it can maintain decent temperatures at lower fan speeds as well. On the other hand, if you are looking to…
Low-profile mechanical keyboards have always seemed a bit odd to me. I get the appeal — in theory, they offer a slim, visually lighter design similar to a typical membrane chiclet keyboard while maintaining the improved tactility and better typing experience of a traditional mechanical keyboard.But in my experience, they usually end up as the worst of both worlds. They’re still bigger than a membrane keyboard but don’t feel markedly better to type on. Plus, they are much harder to customize than standard mechanical boards due to a much smaller pool of compatible switches, keycaps, and other parts. My position…
