You can't halt a bank collapse, but you can postpone it and attempt to reduce the impact with inflation which is exactly what has happened. Additionally, if you don't address the lack of regulation that allowed the…
Have you read Apple's privacy policy?
This is entirely great and especially appreciate the Cave Johnson quote for bonus points.
Just remember that now instead of your ISP knowing every site you visit, Apple now will. So where as in the olden days, in order to figure out who you were, some actor had to buy logs from the destination sites and from…
* We require you to have an account with us which we will use to track you everywhere. ** We will fingerprint your phone in order to abuse it as a pseudo hardware token. *** Two of us also completely control your phone…
Threat actor is industry standard terminology for a malevolent or blackhat brand of hacker. Not all hackers are threat actors. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker
Everything in this country, in this life, is a competition. One big zero-sum game. It starts in high school. Social status, academics, athletics, and now social media followers and likes. I am very glad that when I was…
If your devs/admins are keen on selling access to your network, ZeroTrust won't save you.
I really wish this situation was anything close to a real effort to protect free speech or even better to nuke Twitter from orbit. I hope people realize that he is just trying to protect his favorite stock manipulation…
Windows is for: - People who know nothing about computers and don't want to. - People who are being held hostage by some third party software that isn't built for ARM/Mac/Linux. One can argue that Mac's satisfy the…
Yes, and trolling LinkedIn for people that they could just socially engineer or otherwise bribe into gaining access from.
It is almost like these 'another winning step towards fusion' announcements arrive on a schedule meant to make sure that the funding isn't pulled.
Everyone is assuming this is the Russians and that could very well be true. If I were a bad actor from some place other than Russia, now would be a great time to pursue my own objectives and make as much noise as I…
Death to the burble-tunes and the idiots that acquire them, then use them to assault the neighborhood.
Even if you ignore the fact that they'll find a way to shit on Linux[to push WSL] I simply do not trust Microsoft to get anything right in terms of security.[1] [1] Being alive and security aware for the last few…
If you rely on social media for your news you're gonna have a bad time.
This is a terrible analogy and you should feel terrible for offering it. MSFT is 100% in a conflict of interest by simultaneously both selling the disease and the 'cure'. The only bigger crime is when companies…
Finally, someone gets it. There is a lot of other well intended, intellectually driven arguments and opinions in this thread, but I am afraid that the people actually making the calls here are mostly likely being guided…
My favorite new features of Windows 11 are the fact that my wireless adapter suddenly sucks and that it now takes me two clicks to get the full right click menu.
It is a for profit company, the reason is always profit.
This is exactly how you get around those pesky laws that prevent you from doing it yourself as a governing body. You just let/encourage/look-the-other-way as private companies do it for you then you just buy access from…
Well... you could create a new user profile, install the apps to that user's profile, give their group access to the folders you want the browser to be able to get to (Downloads folder, whatever), then lock them out of…
Add something like this to your /etc/fstab. Will save a few touches to the SD card and enhance system security a little. My last SD went for 3+ years on a decently busy little Pi. ## ## Decrease touches to root…
Another vote for Brother's Laser printers. Love mine, cheap, reliable and works on Linux without a hitch.
Believe me when I say that all major tech companies have spooks in their ranks. They don't really need to insert backdoors or ignore bugs. They have human assets in the teams. Ask anyone who works in one of these…
