A number of shops that use endpoint protection for Windows 11 are reporting that the Win 11 June 2023 (Installed 6-13-2023) Quality Update stops Chrome from running. The process shows up in task manager, but Chrome never fully loads. Organizations that use MalwareBytes and Cisco end point protection are both reporting the issue. The temporary fixes include rolling back the update, disabling endpoint protection for Chrome, or disabling the endpoint protection agent entirely.

Like a Plot from a MST3K movie, evil is waking up as permafrost melts due to weather or natural, man made, local, and/or global climate change. (Take your pick of any or all — doesn't matter — the plot and result is roughly the same).
According the the article a 12-year-old boy died and at least twenty people were hospitalized after being infected by a disease(anthrax) that lay buried in the ice for 75 years.
"The theory is that, over 75 years ago, a reindeer infected with anthrax died and its frozen carcass became trapped under a layer of frozen soil, known as permafrost. There it stayed until a heatwave in the summer of 2016, when the permafrost thawed."
In this case, bringing back the disease was accidental, but the story goes on to give examples of scientists (no indication of whether they are mad or not) purposefully seeing what ancient bacteria and virus they can resurrect from the ice.
How many more diseases are lurking in the ice?
Will the Andromeda Strain be released by meddling scientists or global warming?

Elon Musk on why he doesn't like flying cars: 'That is not an anxiety-reducing situation'.
According to Musk, the main challenges with flying cars are that they'll be noisy and generate lots of wind because of the downward force required to keep them in the air. Plus, there's an anxiety factor.
"Let's just say if something is flying over your head...that is not an anxiety-reducing situation," he said. "You don’t think to yourself 'Well, I feel better about today. You’re thinking'Is it going to come off and guillotine me as it comes flying past?'

A new study has questioned whether dark energy exists at all, citing computer simulations that found that by accounting for the changing structure of the cosmos, the gap in the theory, which dark energy was proposed to fill, vanishes. ... "If the research stands up to scrutiny, it could change the direction of the study of physics away from chasing the ghost of dark energy."
