Just watching the first video and enjoying it for the vulgarization style. It's basically spot on.
What I don't understand is the bozos that implemented this in the first place. The only thing I can think of right now to make it properly is RSA like digital keys, signatures and yes maybe CAs with revocation lists of course and thigh control over the fricking CAs cause it would be hard for customers to allow host key signatures (point of sale) manually.
Of course, that would likely raise the cost of distributing supposedly touch-less cards to customers.
I am getting to the tinfoil part of the video by now. You would be amazed how efficient it is. Back in the Sony Beta video tape recorder era, I had a friend of mine living a few hundred feet from a VHF TV station antenna and the reading heads of his 2000$ (1985) Beta would get impacted by the RF from the antenna screwing up video display.
Wrap the Beta video recorder/player in tinfoil and connect the cage to ground and the problem was gone.
Not going to work in all cases. Some people would revert back to things like gold or some digital currency for trading. As long as you can bribe people to launder the profits for you, it keeps on going. A better approach could be to fix the system and the people keeping it in its current version.
I am already using Vaultcard but since I carry the cards close to my genitals, I decided to add a layer of protective gearing constituted of a lead casing. It ended up requiring an additional belt that I wear under my clothes so it is not apparent. It is a little heavy and uncomfortable but in the end I feel safe in all regards and proud to be using the latest technologies.
No, Microsoft invented the WWW. Back in the old days, we even had a bunch of specific Microsoft implemented html tags, javascript instructions, java objects that the others were not smart enough to keep up with!
Hmm... Visiting those sites might not be a good idea anyway. You might already be assumed "guilty" anyway although not charged automatically in the way he describes.
Those sites are great to spot would be "terists". Some might even be set up by our own government. Don't give idea to harmless but people naive people so they get into trouble.
On the paranoid side, what if MS decides that; you have reserved your copy, 29th July is last chance, then start automatic update during the night without prompting user?
Note that I specified; "on the paranoid side" but who knows with Microsoft, especially with all the stories we heard about that? hehe;-)
I have a windows 8 laptop around. Although I have refused to upgrade so far, I am tempted to upgrade before July 29. Is there any catch that I am not aware of ?
I would upgrade solely to get longer support before EOL. When is Windows 8 EOL planned?;-)
Thanks! Sorry, I was on a Greyhound bus when I typed the above message, on a Quebec road going to Ottawa. In Quebec, roads are worse than in Soviet Russia...
Or he has a public wifi hotspot or somebody hacked his wifi. Harder to do with a car. Somebody would be robbing that bank with your car while at the same time you are eating at McDonald's in said car...

The construction actually involves a sandwich type design made of layers of gold and silver + lead. Just to make sure my genitals are safe.
But then again, what if any neutrino or Higgs boson type particle that I am not aware of were involved?

Oupps. Sorry Elon, I forgot The Matrix ;-)
It makes me feel like in a mix of Blade Runner and Total Recall.
Gee, I should post anonymously like you guys but I have pride in my words.
The first thing I thought about when reading the subject was:
"Wait until I show them the biggest c..."
All for good of course, just kidding here,

Please don't talk about things your humain brain can't understand and have a look at my signature.
Cheers and have a nice day! ;-)
Yet, still 0% discovered if we assume the universe is infinite. Anything divided by infinite equals 0.
Isn't this the standard way to do business in America? I mean buy something and resell it for a profit.
There should be world wide censoring of each and every post on Facebook. Nothing would be lost.
There is 1024 just like me from the clone factory where I came from.

Apart from that, you are right ;-)
This must be the 50th Google related article today. Anything else happening in the world today?
Thanks for the tip!

Roman army has been doing this since 450 B.C.
I just turned the laptop on.
Well, actually, in System, it says: "Windows 8.1 with Bing" 2013 Microsoft Corporation
Dell Inspiron 3531
Celeron CPU N2830
2.16GHz (dual core)
64-bit
A little Googling says planned mainstream EOL for Windows 8 is 2018 while mainstream EOL for 10 in 2020:
Extended support includes security updates:
Extended EOL for Windows 8 is 2023 while Extended EOL for 10 in 2025:
https://support.microsoft.com/...
I guess I might just stick with Windows 8.1 (security updates till 2023) and turn the laptop into a Linux then if it is still working...
I do not need any Windows 10 "nifty features" ;-)

Thanks in advance everybody,
It is much more harder to crack than that since you have 10 possibilities:
1111
2222
3333
4444
etc.

But, but, I Soviet Russia, we get barred from the Olympic Games.
Also, phone number seems to imply "cell phone number". I only have landline.
"and hit an unarmed office worker on the head."
I wonder if he was "unharmed" after that...
