    But if entering your name and an email address is too much for you to handle then by all means use mine: John Smith johnsmith@johnsmithsemailaddress.com

  6. That might be a problem if old dogs were interviewing at Google.

    If you were trying to refer to older people then I suggest you refrain from painting an entire group with your broad brush.

    You would understand what the problem is with replacing with a refurbished phone is if you read the article. The refurbished phones can have the same defect.

    They are entitled to a phone that won't soon suffer the same problem, ie a phone that has had the defect corrected as opposed to someone else's problem phone that has been buffed, polished and repackaged.

  9. I have no interest in home theaters on Netflix CEO: Movie Theaters Are 'Strangling the Movie Business'' (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 1

    They waste space, cost a lot of money and tend to become obsolete quickly. Devotees spend more time playing with their system than they do actually enjoying a movie and I figure I can go out to the movies for a few decades once a week for the money some people put into trying to replicate a movie theatre. It's really almost the Uber vs buying a car in reverse. Why buy a car or a movie theatre when someone else can provide you one on demand for less?

    A couch and less than gargantuan screen is perfectly fine for light fare at home for me.

    I enjoy the big screen experience at my local theater. They spent the thousands on power reclining seats instead of me, I can reserve seats ahead of time and I have a choice of ultra cheap matinees or the Friday night full price tickets.

    Getting out of the house isn't a bad thing to do either.

    Signal has protections against MITM attacks. Once you've securely connected with someone a MITM attack isn't going to break that secure communication channel, keys have already been exchanged.

  11. Whispering should be illegal on Encryption App Signal Wins Fight Against FBI Subpoena and Gag Order (dailydot.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    People should be compelled to speak loudly enough that their communications can be recorded by law enforcement.

    If you have nothing to hide you have no reason to whisper.

  12. I wouldn't really call it an exploit to try a set of default passwords on telnet connections.

  13. Their security was fine, as long as you changed the default password.

    Devices really do need a recovery mechanism from someone losing their password and a hard reset back to a default is fine with me.

    That people buy a security camera and then leave it with its default password is the problem.

  14. Almost all manufactures ship devices with default username and passwords

    Changing them is your responsibility

  15. Re:So which routers have good security? on Researcher Find D-Link DWR-932 Router Is 'Chock Full of Holes' (helpnetsecurity.com) · · Score: 1

    An old used PC is such a memory hog, as well as likely being a space hog and noisy. You'll spend more money on electricity than the money it would take to buy a modern tiny PC to do the job better.

    Intel N3150 based tiny PC, 2GB SODIMM and a 4GB flash drive will set you back $130. Silent, small as a fat paperback book and you'll save $50 in electricity per year compared to that old noise maker.

    Reusing old PCs sounds environmentally friendly but it probably is short sighted.

  16. Why use an old box for pfSense when you can buy an outstanding Intel N3150 based tiny box that consumes 10W for less than $130?

    Stop buying routers for WiFi and buy a plain, simple AP and stick it behind pfSense.

    There are multiple private venture rocket companies, including the very successful ULA. The reality is there is a large and growing market for commercial satellite launches. I think that is fantastic.

    I often step out of my house without my phone or my keys. It isn't a problem because, like most homes, my doors don't automatically lock when I step outside.

    Put me down as one of the people who doesn't trust random strangers to be unaccompanied in my home.

    I can get a plumber or electrician 24/7. So can you if you try. That the random strangers you let into your house unaccompanied are also unreliable suggests you need to find more reliable strangers to wander around your house when you aren't at home.
