(as regular readers here may note)... but... so what. Windows Defender was ranked 7th seems to be the big takeaway in the summary. What if the top 10 are all good to use, does being 7th really matter? I've been using Windows Defender for a couple of years (when Avast started their annoying desktop pop-up adverts that I could not disable, I switched to Windows Defender).
.
Additionally, Windows Defender does not seem to install all manner of additional software that digs deep into the Windows kernel in order to do its job. For my needs, Windows Defender is a simple, effective a/v solution that works well. Why should I care if it ranks 7 or 3 of even 1?
... when will these websites STOP trying to outguess what I want to see on the web and when I want to see it. If I select "chronological order," maybe, just maybe, I want to view things in chronological order.

Don't your programmers have anything better to work on?
Does the NYC subway still use 25Hz power for lighting in some stations ? I remember when I use to take the subway to school that I could see the incandescent lights flicker due to the 25Hz power being supplied to them.
In my experience, the "very long wait" is pretty much the equivalent of "unavailable." The past few months, "long wait" is beginning also to look like "unavailable" as well.
. I really don't see how Netflix can boast about their DVD inventory of late. From what I see, the inventory is dropping, becoming quite narrow in its focus. I've already dropped from "two at home" to "one at home" because Netflix cannot keep two at my house anymore. Plus, Netflix closed the 1-day-away warehouse, so transit is now two days each way for me, further slowing down how many discs I can watch per month.
Netflix's DVD "service" has become a poor shadow of what it had been, and it shows no sign of getting better, in spite of the PR that Netflix seems to put out.
Netflix's business has a declining selection of only 100,000 DVDs. The summary seems to compare the multiple-DVDs-per-title of DVDs to the one-show-per-title of streaming. For example, one show may have 45 DVS for the various seasons, but it will be only one title in streaming.
.
In my personal experience, I am seeing more and more "long waits" on the DVDs I select, and some shows missing DVDs of certain episodes. The number of shows with missing DVDs is increasing.
If the business is so friggin' profitable, why doesn't Netflix make it work?

... the recipients of the alerts must feel that the alerts are useful, and not misdirected or annoying. To force an alert system upon people who do not want it will result in alerts being ignored.
It appears to take a while to build the history required for the identity verification purposes, yet that verification is used for only a very short time. If someone else has my smartphone for a short time, they could pose as me based upon the history retained in the smartphone. imo, in order to be a secure verification, the timeline for building the history needs to be closer to the timeline of usage.
... the question asked should be more along the lines of... Why is the public so interested in Tesla crashes, and not in the tens of thousands of auto crashes that result in deaths each year? The media is just following the interest of the public.
The question implies that we know about all of the software that has ever been written. We don't. Therefore we cannot judge what the most sophisticated piece of software ever written is or was. We can, however, discuss software that is widely known about, known beyond a relatively few that wrote or used it.

I see (and somewhat agree with) what you're saying. But if the acts were not committed in the first place...
To me, it looks like the only reason why google is proposing this "feature" is to allow advertiser to be even more intrusive into my browsing experience.
...Some may remember that the Linux naming convention was a controversy that raged from the late 1990s until about the end of the first decade of the 21st century....
I suspect many more are actively trying to forget the Linux naming convention controversy. So much energy wasted over so little. Must be a slow news day here...
...When you enter an airport you have zero expectation of privacy...
Of course I have expectation of privacy. For example, I do not want to be strip searched in the middle of the ticketing area. So stop saying I have no expectation of privacy.
The late passengers should miss their plane. To go rummaging them up, trying to find them before the plane leaves, will only encourage the bad behavior of not getting to the gate area on time. Also, I have the distinct opinion that this "feature" is really a cover for having active facial recognition in the airport.
