hey what are you doing i just thought that was the general vibe oh you're
right microsoft has released an emergency
patch for Windows 10 but strangely only some users will have to urgently update
see a few days ago a flaw was discovered in Windows server message block protocol
or smbv3 an attack using this vulnerability
could potentially worm its way from an infected computer to all other pcs on
the network leading to a serious situation like the wannacry and not
petya attacks in 2017. thus the emergency patch but the flaw is only
present in Windows 10 versions 1903 and 1909 so if you haven't updated your pc
since 2018 in a strange twist of fate you're actually not at risk from this
specific flaw so you should probably update all the way up to the most
current version just to be safe what if i haven't updated my pc since 1909

place probably sometime in june online what that's right kids due to
something that i'm not allowed to say happening in the world right now which
we have to be very careful in discussing you can basically expect any event in
the next few months to be an online only event including apple's wwdc microsoft's
build conference and all the other events that we've mentioned in the past couple weeks but things aren't all dark
and gloomy apple is actually reopening all the stores it closed in china and
some isps including at t are removing
broadband data caps for customers which
just makes us wonder if isps can remove them whenever they want why do they yeah
exist why do they exist come on and also the

might actually be a much better option for classes being taught remotely
instead of letting hundreds of randoms in to disrupt your class which is what
happened to one teacher teaching a class about twitch on twitch inside of twitch
