The quoted from the German government are priceless.

That's actually a really good response from what appears to be a competent government.

Okay people, my phone is going off for the weekend. If you can't figure out how to either disable the GPO or make exclusions you're on you're own...

Something we have discussed in here a few times.

Elon Musk says we need universal basic income because 'in the future, physical work will be a choice'

Tesla CEO Elon Musk is stepping behind the universal basic income movement because of the potential rise of robots — in fact, he's working on one himself.

During a Thursday presentation on artificial intelligence (AI) hosted by Tesla, Musk said he is working on creating a "Tesla Bot," or a robot that would do "dangerous, repetitive, and boring tasks" so humans don't have to. But Musk recognized that the creation of this robot might take the place of jobs that people are currently getting paid for, which is why he said a guaranteed income will likely be necessary in the future.

"Essentially, in the future, physical work will be a choice," Musk said during the presentation. "This is why I think long term there will need to be a universal basic income," he added.

Us all in the future

The once-doomed MS Paint gets its first redesign in over a decade

Windows 10's version of Paint has been mostly unchanged since 2009.
The latest Windows 11 app to get a coat of paint is Paint, everyone's favorite meme-making sketching and doodling app. It's not available for download for Windows Insiders yet, but Microsoft Chief Product Officer Panos Panay posted a brief video of the new design, showing off its updated look, a new dark mode, better text tools, updated brushes, and other tweaks that collectively serve to modernize the app a bit.

Who the heck is actually using MS Paint or has even considered using it in a decade?!

I use it regularly when taking screenshots from other peoples PCs

You use MS Paint to take screenshots?

M365 price hike...

Hey everyone are you hooked on the Cloud yet? Nah, no worries we're jacking our prices!

@wrcombs That would be the culprit.

Disable it for the user workstation and run gpupdate /force

Why would they delay a patch for this? Do they not know how to resolve the vulnerability?

@dashrender said in Microsoft Printer Vulnerability - FYI:

I'm wondering if moving away from MS print servers is the thing to do. But then - how do you manage print drivers on an business network? Start deploying them the same way you deploy software packages?

Doesn't CUPS also manages print drivers and can provide them to workstations?
