  1. Informative
    Cthulhu Calamari got a reaction from GoodBytes in Windows 10 not selecting open windows/programs   
    UPDATE: I noticed that it was really common for my Wifi receiver to fail to see networks without direct action on my part after a BSOD reset, and that my connection was seeming particularly garbage lately overall. I finally took the time to run ethernet cable all the way to my office, and - knock on wood - it appears that my Wifi dongle I've been using for a few years was dying and triggering both the program focus theft and the random BSOD issues.
     
    This one, which is no longer available on Amazon:

    It's only been a day, but so far so good. Plus, now my kickass internet connection is unimpeded by walls in a 100+ year old building. If it had to be hardware failure, I'm glad it's a USB peripheral and not, like, my M2 boot drive.
     
    If my guess checks out, this rig will be able to coast all the way to third-party 3080s being available in Canada, instead of barely limping along to whatever current upgrade I can get my filthy mitts on ASAP.

    Customers didn't. Employees, on the other hand, don't have this luxury. Included in the information was data for everyone who worked for and with the company, possibly for the better part of 2 decades. They got straight boned by this breach, and there is literally nothing they could have done to prevent it. (Except, of course, for whatever dipshit was responsible for their IT security...)

    I haven't seen the other reports, but I did read this article, including information like "This even featured personal documents and images of Mr. Wu’s family mixed in with numerous private photos of high end escorts from mainland china." [sic]
     
    Let me know if anyone finds information about a class action lawsuit against whomever is responsible for this...
