- Microsoft is bringing the Linux 'sudo' feature to Windows Server 2025
- Sudo is a Linux console program that allows low-privileged users to execute a command with elevated privileges
- It offers increased security in Linux as servers can be used normally under low-privileged accounts while still allowing users to elevate their privileges as needed
- The first Windows Server 2025 Insider preview build has been released, which includes new settings for a Windows 'sudo' command
- The sudo command will allow certain programs to run with elevated privileges based on Windows settings
- Google has started testing the phasing out of third-party cookies on Chrome, affecting about 1% of its users or approximately 30 million people.
- Third-party cookies, which track users' browsing habits for targeted advertising, are being replaced by Google's Privacy Sandbox APIs.
- Firefox and Safari have already eliminated default access to these cookies, and Google aims to adopt a more secure method.
- The shift away from third-party cookies requires advertisers to adapt to new privacy-preserving technologies while ensuring the web remains dynamic and accessible.
- Google Chrome users can check if they are part of the test by looking for an "eye" icon in the address bar, opening a Tracking Protection dialog, checking Chrome DevTools alerts, or checking for settings changes related to Tracking Protection.
