"Trump's man in Ottawa doesn't understand why Canadians are so frustrated right now"

"But does Hoekstra understand the frustration of Canadians who feel they don't deserve this treatment from their country's largest trading partner, neighbour and ally?

"No," he fires back instantly. "We put tariffs on everybody in the world.""

Hmm... Manitoba receives a lot of sunshine, but could soon face a major power shortage. Could the province roll out more solar power projects to harness that energy? Nah, that would make too much sense. Time to rely on fossil fuels more!

Das ist nicht nur absolut lächerlich von den Bahn-Admins, das ist auch noch so dermaßen dilletantisch gelöst worden.

Da fragt man sich, aus welchem Hobbykurs die alle kommen.

So, remember MS munting the security defence in their Edge built-in password manager? Now they're going to fix it.

But ... they're talking a big talk about 'defence-in-depth':

> Even for issues that don’t meet the security criteria, Edge invests heavily in defense-in-depth.

Though they have initially invested (it was according to them done by design the way it is) into making it as bad as it is. After all, the original Chromium Edge is based on has a better defence. So they have invested actual resources into making it worse for their users, to now (that people have seen the crap) invest again in fixing up their browser again. #FacePalm !!!
