When installing windows 7 it asks you to setup windows updates. This should be done with SmartScreen, where the user is prompted to set it up or leave it disabled.
I've never blocks ads. However I do block scripts and trackers, which as a consequence blocks a lot of ads anyway.
I don't see why I should open a security vulnerability (client side scripting) just to read a webpage. However I don't have a problem with ads that aren't malicious but those seem to be getting fewer and fewer.
What part of "infinite time to brute force the password" did I not make clear?
It's a moot point to talk about infinite time. You might as talk about an attacker using magic spells because neither exist. If someone want's dedicate thousands of centuries trying to break into my laptop I say let them at it. They are going to run out of time, which is certainly not infinite.
In the statistically impossible event that they did decrypt my drive what they now have is.... an encrypted drive. In total they need to decrypt it three times to get at the data.
Because whole drive encryption guarantees they can't get in. While remote wipe is throwing all caution to the wind and hoping for the best.
Ideally the ability to shut down an encrypted laptop should be in place in case it's stolen while unlocked. But encryption is the only thing that can really protect data that's in the hands of a thief.

Yes, and we'll join you on the grassy hill under the rainbow to sing about peace and other hippie crap.
Unfortunately the anti-nuclear hippies are immune to science.
You're right, best go back to windows 3.1.
Not to mention $100 per year is fucking expensive compared to buying it outright.
did i get it?
Farah is a fucking pussy.
Whatever you do don't post offensive memes to Facebook. They'll throw everything they have at you.
Donations are optional so you can't really complain when people don't take that option.

You mean the guy who doesn't want people to be able to change their batteries?
Years developing for what?
A phone that can't Copy/Paste, Send MMS, use Blutooth or video call. Something the rest of the world has been able to do for more than a decade.
That is true, but doesn't make piracy less wrong.
First you would have to establish that piracy is wrong. Sharing is an altruistic activity.
If the guys too cheap to run Windows he's certainly to cheap to understand the role of money.
Samsung have produced a superior product, therefore Apple needs to attack them first.

I like this sentence.
But does this mean we're moving irresistibly into an era of 'sealed-unit computing,' even for power users?
A power user wouldn't be using a Mac, they'd be using something good.

If you use whole drive encryption then you don't need to remote wipe your laptop.
Not to mention that if you lose your USB cable you are more likely to be able to borrow a cable, or replace it.
But then you can't sell the special cables.
Why does your "right" to deny me trump my "right" to travel anywhere I like on this planet?
How about their RIGHT to keep you out of their country?
So if the file gets deleted off one PC it gets deleted from all PCs?
