Today's Story Highlights

When Technology Makes Life Harder
The latest Windows 10 update hasn't gone smoothly for many users due to
a conflict with an outdated driver for Intel's Rapid Storage Technology.
This is somewhat ironic in that RST was designed to improve the
performance of storage hardware. Certain versions have slowed the
install process, and in some cases the program has made installation of
the Version 1903 Windows 10 update impossible.

Galaxy Note10 Sharpens Samsung's Mobile Experience Vision
Samsung announced new devices and a deepening of its relationship with
Microsoft at Samsung Unpacked, which showcased innovative new mobile
experiences that work seamlessly and continuously anywhere and anywhen.
"The line between work and play has pretty much disappeared, and that
means we need technology that can seamlessly flow between the two," said
Samsung exec Drew Blackard.

Microsoft Exposes Russian Cyberattacks on Phones, Printers, Video Decoders
The Russian hacking group known for stealing sensitive emails from the
Democratic National Committee during the 2016 presidential election
season has been cracking into printers, phones and video decoders to
gain access to corporate networks, the Microsoft Security Response
Center Team reported. The group is known by a number of names including
"Strontium," "Fancy Bear" and "APT 28."

Cloudflare Cuts Service to 'Cesspool of Hate'
Cloudflare has cut service to 8chan, an online forum it called a
"cesspool of hate." The move was motivated by the role 8chan played in
mass shootings in El Paso, Texas; Christchurch, New Zealand; and Poway,
California. "The rationale is simple: They have proven themselves to be
lawless and that lawlessness has caused multiple tragic deaths," wrote
Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince.

How Tech Could Rescue the Awful Democratic Debates
Like many of you, I watched eight-plus hours of Democratic debates last
week, and they seem to be getting worse over time. The last effort made
it look like CNN was trying harder to create drama than to help people
make a choice among the candidates. We have a ton of technology -- some
new, some in place for decades -- that could make this process far more
informative.
