I'm readingg Book 2 of the Shadows of Apt series by Adrian Tchaikovsky. It's titled Dragonfly Falling. I enjoyed the first and so far am enjoying the second of the series. I also own the third. Looking at his website apparently there's a fouth out now and very soon a fifth. He's currently writing the 7th book.

It's fantasy so a lot of you might not like it, but it's got an interesting take on humans and is quite well written. The writing style reminds me of Brent Weeks

Just finishing off TP's Fifth Elephant

Then I'll be starting Unseen Academicals (also by TP).

Oh good, more Discworld novels for me to read. I'll have to check the Toronto Public Library's website and put a order in. The last book reminds me of the Lost Continent (the professor/orangutan).

Fifth Elephant is an old one, but Unseen Acedemicals came out just before Christmas. The last Discworld book before UA was The Wintersmith last year, with a non-Discworld book in between called Nation which was okay...

I just finished off Dexter in the Dark and have started on Dexter by Design.

I believe this is my favorite book series I've come across so far. Hopefully Lindsay finishes the fifth book soon.

    • Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations by Sayan Sen Microsoft releases new Windows Defender update packages very frequently to protect against various newly discovered malware. Once a while every three months or so, the company also pushes out these updates to Windows images (WIM and VHD) and ISOs, that are used to install Windows. Hence with the newest Windows 11 update available via the official MCT tool, you should get these definitions. This update package is necessary as a Windows installation image may contain old, outdated anti-malware definitions and software binaries. Aside from better security, these updates can also provide improved performance benefits in some cases. When a new Windows installation is set up, there may be a temporary security risk due to outdated Microsoft Defender protection in the OS installation images. This happens because the antimalware software included in these images might not be up to date. Thus Microsoft says that these updated definitions essentially help close this protection gap. Microsoft delivered the latest security definitions for Windows images via security intelligence update version 1.445.323.0. The Defender package version is also the same. It applies to Windows 11, Windows 10 ESU, Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021, Win 10 Ent LTSC 2019, Win 10 Ent LTSB 2016, Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2016. Microsoft writes: "This package updates the anti-malware client, anti-malware engine, and signature versions in the OS installation images to following versions: Platform version: 4.18.26040.7 Engine version: 1.1.26040.8 Security intelligence version: 1.447.236.0" From Microsoft's security bulletin, we learn that the security intelligence update version 1.447.236.0 was released early last month and adds threat detections for various malware like trojan, backdoor exploits, ransomware, stealers, AutoKMS, and more. For those wondering, the latest intelligence update is version 1.451.297.0 at the time of writing.
