  1. How about money for REAL ITSEC? on Congressman Wants Ransomware Attacks To Trigger Breach Notifications (onthewire.io) · · Score: 1

    Then let's cover the fact that IT should have more power and Say than administration or the doctors. If John in IT says no you cant have your ipad on the network then its FUCKING NO!

    What is needed is HIPPA regs appended so that the guys in charge of the hospital making the most money are PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE for any data breaches or attacks. If this is done suddenly IT will be allowed to do their job and isolate critical systems from easy attack vectors.

  2. It's about time, The are so difficult to plug in and it's so heavy.. I'm surprised most electric cars are ever plugged in the connectors are s obig and heavy and difficult to use.

    I'm calling bull on it being "automatic" that video is of someone off screen driving it. you can see reflections of a person off to the left monkeying with it and you can see it being very jerky as if a person is trying to get it adjusted right.

    Want some fun? They can treat all the citizens inside like shit for 100 miles within the border.

    Sadly my fellow americans are so stupid to tolerate the fake security theater over their freedom, that they actually seem to LIKE it.

    If you want to feel better, the surface 1, Surface 2 and Surface 4 suffer from all the exact same issues.

    Microsoft was very very consistent with the entire line. They refuse to get rid of the garbage Marvell chipsets.

  8. Re:Getting Ready for Apollo Lake Upgrade on Surface 3 Stocks Dwindling As Microsoft Plans System's Demise (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    Except that intel's current processor is a joke compared to the last version, and the next is to not be worth a damn compared to it either.

    Sorry but All of intel's offerings over the past 3 years have been a waste of time. There is zero incentive to upgrade a 3rd gen processor machine to anything with a 6th gen or beyond due to the increases being so small that spending $800+ for it is a waste of money.

  9. Exactly. They can suck it.... It's a freaking monitor, my LG monitor does not try and force DRM down my throat.

  10. Re:Or do it the better way... on Chrome Bug Makes It Easy To Download Movies From Netflix and Amazon Prime · · Score: 1

    many I rip to watch later and then delete. I honestly love the ripped movie as it starts now. while the raw Bluray takes forever with all the forced adverts. and "you are evil, dont download a car, etc...."

    Netflix Disc subscription... MakeMKV + handbrake. end up with far FAR better quality rips and 100% undetectable by the copyright police.

  12. It is not an economic problem there, it's a Social problem. I have several friends that emigrated here from india and they all will freely admit, "it's not a nice place" because of the class and caste system allows horrible treatment of others.

    The ones that flee to come here looking for freedom, they come here for really good reasons. Parts of india may be beautiful and amazing but a large amount of is still filled with human suffering all in the name of tradition.

  13. Re: Wrong! They were made by Jesus on Computer Simulations Point To the Source of Gravitational Waves (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Science is the same way.

    Freaking historians REFUSED for decades that the Norse were here in the americas way before any europeans and they dismissed all found evidence as "hoaxes" even though the evidence pool was sound and well documented.

    Go ahead and try and overturn a science cart with a new hypothesis and see how welcoming scientists are. It's as much of a cult following in the science circles as it is in religious cults.

    I love how you guys have ZERO clue as to who the customer is to phone makers.

    It's not you. It's the phone companies and they want that jack gone. That way they can DRM the hell out of everything and force you to buy their Bluetooth headphones at 40% more profit.

    Yes people still fall for that crap. Because most people are really stupid. and get more stupid when you trigger their "greed" center.

    It's why the Here is a $100,000 check, can you cash it and send me the change.... I'll let you have an extra $1,000 for your trouble, obvious as hell scam works. Most people brains shut off when the greed center in their brain is triggered.

    because gang bangers prefer pistols and not bombs. Forgot that one teeny tiny fact did you? that nearly 80% of all firearm deaths are gang related and sadly those assholes just refuse to obey gun laws. But lets pass more of them in hopes they obey something!

    or just gas them, or release something biological/chemical... A jug of bleach and a bottle of Ammonia in a bucket is really all that is needed and then bar the exit doors for some time.

    That is actually very simple. Runtime is 100% read only except for user area for data and nothing can be executed from there. impossible to backdoor.

    Updates must be out of band and done after a power cycle and booting into a "admin mode" that has no connectivity. If the installer shows it's clean and unmolested, allow it to run. It will severely limit the ability to be backdoored in any way if it requires a physical ower down and reboot into a protected mode for installs and updates.

    A hardened Android based on the raw android that protects you from being backdoored and tried to identify and alert you to the fake cellphone towers when you connect to one.

    Then let's get a nice hardened Linux as well that actively fights attacks and tried to hide.

    THEN we have a place for this browser to live.

    Tell upper management to fuck themselves. AS long as you can show a net positive they can STFU.
    The problem today is people refuse to stand up for their work and listen to these gasbags that really are only trying to justify their position. Executives need to stay on their floor and talk to customers. and let the people that do actual work do their job.
