AI Thread Summary
Microsoft Defender SmartScreen is integrated primarily with Microsoft browsers, such as Edge, and does not function in the same way with other browsers like Firefox or Chrome. Users cannot directly configure SmartScreen to trust specific websites, as it operates based on a set of predefined criteria and reputation scores.

He was then able to extract the velocity information...

Thread 'Cooling a processor chip'

I have been idly browsing what Apple have to offer with their new iPhone17. There is mention of 'Vapour cooling' to deal with the heat generated. Would that be the same sort of idea that was used in 'Heat Pipes' where water evaporated at the processor end and liquid water was returned from the cool end and back along a wick.
