The probe was approved by FTC chair Lina Khan ahead of her likely departure in January. The election of Donald Trump as US president, and the expectation he will appoint a fellow Republican with a softer approach towards business, leaves the outcome of the investigation up in the air. * ⚓ Deccan Chronicle ☛ Microsoft_Faces_Broad_Antitrust_Investigation_From US_Federal_Trade_Commission⠀⇛ The US Federal Trade Commission has opened an antitrust investigation of Microsoft, drilling into everything from the company’s cloud computing and software licensing businesses to cybersecurity offerings and artificial intelligence products. * ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Microsoft_faces_fresh_antitrust_probe_by_US authorities⠀⇛ The US Federal Trade Commission appears to have launched an antitrust investigation into Microsoft. News of the probe was first reported by Bloomberg. The Washington Post and CNN have since also found anonymous sources willing to tell them that the regulator has asked Microsoft to provide it with info on its cloud, AI, and infosec businesses. The Commission (FTC) is silent on the matter – and probably will be until next week due to the Thanksgiving holiday – but it's not hard to guess what might concern it. * ⚓ VOA News ☛ Microsoft_faces_antitrust_investigation_in_US⠀⇛ The FTC is examining allegations the software giant is potentially abusing its market power in productivity software by imposing punitive licensing terms to prevent customers from moving their data from its Azure cloud service to other competitive platforms, sources confirmed earlier this month. The FTC is also looking at practices related to cybersecurity and artificial intelligence products, the source said on Wednesday. * ⚓ [Repeat] New York Times ☛ F.T.C._Launches_Antitrust_Investigation_Into Microsoft⠀⇛ The agency recently sent a long and detailed formal request for information to the company asking about its cloud computing, artificial intelligence and cybersecurity products, the people said. Of particular interest to the F.T.C. is the way that Microsoft bundles its cloud computing offerings with office and security products, they added, alongside the company’s growing power in the artificial intelligence space. * ⚓ El País ☛ US_launches_broad_antitrust_probe_against_Microsoft⠀⇛ The Federal Trade Commission is scrutinizing its cloud computing business and its dominance in artificial intelligence. Competitors have complained that the company’s bundling practices make it hard to compete * ⚓ [Repeat] Silicon Angle ☛ FTC_reportedly_launches_antitrust investigation_into_Microsoft's_cloud,_AI_and_cybersecurity_practices⠀⇛ The investigation comes after FTC was reportedly preparing to launch an investigation into claims that Microsoft earlier this month. It was claimed that the FTC was investigating allegations that Microsoft was abusing its market power by imposing punitive licensing terms to prevent customers from moving their data from Azure to other platforms. The now-official investigation is said to go further than licensing terms for Azure and other cloud products alone. Reports suggest that alongside concerns in relation to Microsoft’s licensing conditions, the FTC is also investigating Microsoft’s cybersecurity business and AI products. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 689 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/11/29/Mozilla_Announce_Smaller_Faster_Firefox_Downloads_For_Linux.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/11/29/Mozilla_Announce_Smaller_Faster_Firefox_Downloads_For_Linux.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Mozilla Announce Smaller, Faster Firefox Downloads For Linux⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Nov 29, 2024, updated Nov 29, 2024 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Mozilla_logo_and_penguin⦈_ Quoting: Mozilla Announce Smaller, Faster Firefox Downloads For Linux - OMG!

The bit on Hey Hi (AI) being unfamiliar with their tool choice piqued my interest: It’s worth noting that Hey Hi (AI) tools are intimately familiar with Next.js and not so much with htmx, due to the lack of open-source training data. This is similar to the issue Rails faces. While not a dealbreaker, it did impact our development speed and the ease of finding solutions to problems.

The switch, which uses the LZMA compression algorithm, results in smaller download sizes -- up to 25 percent smaller -- and faster decompression times, improving installation efficiency. The .tar.xz format is widely supported across modern Linux distributions, ensuring compatibility while saving bandwidth. Current users won’t need to take any action, as Firefox will continue updating as usual. However, the new format is now available for Firefox Nightly and will roll out to Beta and Release channels in the coming weeks. o § Rust⠀➾ # ⚓ Rust Blog ☛ The_Rust_Programming_Language_Blog:_Rust_2024 call_for_testing⠀⇛ We've been hard at work on Rust 2024.

Self hosting teaches you a lot about how things on the internet work under the hood, and gives you a sense of power since you are fully in control of the services you run. The annoying thing is that it is very easy to expose services on a local network, but not so trivial to securely expose them to the outside world. That makes file servers and git repository servers a lot less useful: I have to be at home to have access.

However, there is lingering inventory still out there in places like Amazon and Newegg. There are storefronts that exist only on reseller sites for better customer reach, but considering Dragon Touch also wiped their blog of any mention of their tablets, we assume a little more than a strategy shift happened here. We wrote a guide to help parents set up their kid’s Android devices safely, but it’s difficult to choose which device to purchase to begin with. Advising people to simply buy a more expensive iPad or Amazon Fire Tablet doesn’t change the fact people are going to purchase low-budget devices. Lower budget devices can be just as reputable if the ecosystem provided a path for better accountability.

One of the most critical provisions of this new law mandates that organizations must report ransomware payments made to hackers within 72 hours. This change is aimed at improving Australia’s cyber resilience and deterring cybercriminals while ensuring that businesses remain accountable for their actions. The Australian Cyber Security Act introduces a host of new requirements for organizations, particularly those impacted by ransomware attacks. Notably, businesses must now notify the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) within 72 hours if they make a payment in response to a ransomware attack. This move is intended to help the ASD monitor ransomware trends, assess potential threats to national security, and aid in law enforcement’s ability to track cybercriminals. o ⚓ Hoboken_closes_city_hall,_local_courts_after_pre-Thanksgiving ransomware_attack⠀⇛ The city of Hoboken shut down its government offices on Wednesday after an early morning ransomware attack caused widespread issues.
