I often run into stories and articles I want to post, but they probably aren't worth making their own thread over.
So, here's the General Technology thread. Computing, software, business tech, Q&A, Security, etc...
Starting off with this story from today:
CCleaner Compromised to Distribute Malware for Almost a Month
Seems to have only affected 32-bit systems, which is a big plus.
Also, apparently due to excessive lobbying from FPL, Florida residents without power due to the hurricane are not permitted to use their own solar panels.

CCleaner Compromised to Distribute Malware for Almost a Month
On September 13, Piriform released CCleaner 5.34 and CCleaner Cloud version 1.07.3191 that do not contain the malicious code.
The threat has now been resolved in the sense that the rogue server is down, other potential servers are out of the control of the attacker, and we’re moving all existing CCleaner v5.33.6162 users to the latest version. Users of CCleaner Cloud version 1.07.3191 have received an automatic update. In other words, to the best of our knowledge, we were able to disarm the threat before it was able to do any harm.
