Eurocops shut down Exclu encrypted messaging app, arrest dozens
Exclu made it possible to exchange messages, photos, notes and other communications with users, of which Dutch police said there were around 3,000 prior to the service's seizure, 750 of whom were Dutch speakers.
If they'd have spoken Double Dutch then there would have been no need for the encryption...
Private company set up to oversee UK's prototype fusion reactor
The government wibbles muchly about STEM, and there's probably even an app for it. But physics is kinda hard, especially if career options are still limited
If you're bright enough to be a physicist then there are much more lucrative jobs in finance available. Most of which won't get the planet out of its climate predicament or make better cancer treatments etc. though...

Another RAC staffer nabbed for storing, sharing car crash data
Re: Bingo time
Hard to see how you get 100% protection against people who are required to have access to the data as part of their job.The very fact that they were able to pin it down to an individual firmly enough for the ICO to get a search warrant suggests pretty tight controls.
It does look like the RAC have done everything right here and should actually be applauded.
Microsoft boffins contemplate equipping Excel with AI
Re: aand what about security; reqs to store and handle locally and on certain devices
This is a very good point. At the moment I'm working on a project where there are loads of data derived from patient samples. Most of the data are small and come from the instruments / analysis software in Excel format. If the patient and/or sample IDs got zapped up into Microsoft ML software then this could cause all sorts of legal problems...

Super Bock says 'cyber' nasty 'disrupting computer services'
Cyber baddies have had breweries in their sights for some time: Molson Coors was a high profile victim in March 2021 via an attack that significantly hampered production and shipment of products. Its brands include Coors Lite, Peroni, Staropramen and Foster's.
They're beers? I wonder if disrupting their supply chain is actually a good thing. Thank you Cyber Baddies for your service to humanity.
Castrol immerses itself deeper into liquid cooling with researcher
Re: Not huge news as just announcing a link with a research group
Enthusiasts already tried submerged cooling, and the fluids were... less than optimal. As in, too viscous and making a mess if you ever decided to remove the gear from the fish tank where you submerged them.
I'd have thought that anyone into PC hardware enough to play with liquid cooling is likely to be the kind of person who swaps parts very frequently

Hundreds of Spotify staff stream out the door in latest layoffs
Unless they have a secret plan to one day triple subscription charges I really don't understand their long term business goals. There's some really strange economics going on with internet companies these days.
Basically it's VC money subsidising our listening habits (in a similar way that VC's subsides Uber taxi rides).
Being able to listen to almost anything I want for less than what we used to pay for a CD each month is an amazing deal for consumers. As you say it obviously won't last and hopefully at some point the streamers will start paying the artists more fairly[0]
