Don't' worry it will be harmless and even it is isn't, the levels will be acceptable. You can always trust companies and government officials to do the right thing.

They mention "criminal activity" but there is no mention of charges being pressed or sentencing. I wonder how many people were being bribed at these subcontractors and how high up did the corruption go?

This feels like a headline I should have read at least 15 years ago.

Yes it is and I should have made it clear I was commenting about the "Apple is ""really aggressive about deprecating old products," " part. There are reasons most companies chose x86, Windows, DOS, and *ix over Apple.

Is Apple hardware or software used much to run other equipment compared to Windows and *ix? It is probably a tiny fraction. It is much easier for Apple to deprecate their systems when the majority of their systems are used as desktop computers. Sure maybe there is some occasional older software with compatibility issues but the domain of issues is much smaller since they are pretty much only in the desktop space.

I don't know of any org that was prepared. Even the creators of AI clearly haven't been prepared for it's acceptance and use..

Is this a decent use case for Artificial Intelligence? Let AI find the best candidates for optimizations and then have real intelligence takes a closer look.

Computers could stay in service for more years ....wait that would lower sales. ... never mind. :-)

This. Playing with their stats to make it look like leadership is making positive changes. This only needs to last until they sell, go public, the C levels move on, or some combination of those things.

I've been working in higher-ed (community colleges) for a long time. The majority of community college students are local as they should be. Validating their ID in person at their nearest campus should NOT be an issue.

Online classes are very popular. They are more convenient and sometimes easier.

Colleges should just require in person verification for all students receiving financial aid. The leaders of these schools are afraid it will lower their enrollment numbers.

Your last sentence is key. In addition, teachers need to take roll and submit accurate attendance records.

Community colleges are low cost options for higher ed. Lower cost means lower overhead, like payroll. You get what you pay for.

I have worked in higher-ed for a long time and this problem is all over. Two year schools have it the worst since they keep the bar pretty low for getting enrolled.

I recently went back to dual booting Linux on my personal desktop. It has been weeks since I booted into Windows. I'll leave it there for now just in case I have a Windows need.

What about everyone that had mugshots taken but had the charges dropped or were never convicted? I doubt any of them consent.

FWIW the RDP client (mstsc.exe) is not what was rebranded. It is some app in the Windows Store. It is still Microsoft's fault that there is so much confusion.
