Re: Microsoft Office renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app”
I genuinely thought this was a joke when I saw the headline, and I had to double check the domain name to verify that this wasn't a parody.
Apart from being absolutely abysmal marketing, the front page alone is wildly inconsistent:
* "Welcome to Microsoft 365 Copilot"
* "The Microsoft 365 Copilot app (formerly Office) [...]"
* "Microsoft 365 (formerly Microsoft Office 365) is a subscription service [...]"
Which is it, "Microsoft 365 Copilot", "(The) Microsoft 365 Copilot app", "(The) Microsoft 365 Copilot app (formerly Office)", "Microsoft 365" or "Microsoft 365 (formerly Microsoft Office 365)"?
I think Microsoft delegated all marketing decisions to AI. Not even joking.

Big news on the internet today as the United States Department of Justice wildly underestimated computer nerds
Mahmoud Al-Qudsi (mqudsi), the founder of NeoSmart Technologies, is a nerd who specializes in computer forensics. His entire career (dating back over 2 decades) has been focused almost exclusively on data forensics, data restoration, and data backups.
Because Mr. Al-Qudsi is a nerd who unironically enjoys painstakingly reviewing computer forensics at the byte level, something almost no one else on the planet enjoys, Mr. Al-Qudsi began exploring the recently released Epstein files.
Today he released a write-up explaining the problems with the Epstein redactions, errors they left in the PDF files, ... and all sorts of other artifacts the Department of Justice accidentally left behind. By leveraging these different digital artifacts, it is possible for experts such as Al-Qudsi to reconstruct the files without their redactions.
See subsequent post for his write-up
tl;dr he's reverse engineering and reconstructing epstein files. but hard and will take lots of work

Windows Notepad.exe now has a remote code execution vulnerability.
You read that right.
Notepad.exe, which used to be a simple text editor, has had so many network connect features added (including AI and Microsoft account subscriptions)… that it now has…
