That hackers keep using WebKit exploits is probably the main reason the Switch doesn't have a user-accessible web browser app; the 3DS was also hacked via its YouTube app, which is also why the Switch is probably lacking similar 3rd-party apps -- they want to ensure the app's security first.
If Nintendo could be bothered to ship a WebKit that wasn't 6+ months old it wouldn't be such a security nightmare for them.
This is why instead of embedding a plugin in the browser for PDFs, Mozilla has created PDF.js. It uses HTML5 & JavaScript to render PDFs within the browser's normal sandbox. There's even a Chrome addon.
They really should not be done unless there is an actual problem that will actually be solved by the update.
Given that many UEFI updates patch security flaws, it's a good idea to keep up to date. BIOS had its issues, but UEFI offers a much larger attack surface.
As someone who has been deploying Windows 8.1 for a while, it's pretty easy to remove apps you don't want from your system images. You can even do it on a running system:
I received an email encouraging me to update my 2015 Kindle not long ago. I tried to check for updates on the device but found nothing. Two weeks later, Amazon sent me a similar message again. After another update check, I still found nothing. I wasn't able to get the device to upgrade until I manually copied the firmware file to the device.
My daily web browser is Nightly. A few days ago when they enabled e10s by default I found out about the change because my browser crashed on startup. The only way I could get it working again was to start Nightly in Safe Mode and disable e10s. Multiprocess in Nightly is varying states of very broken for most addons. For me the key ones are HTTPSEverywhere, Adblock Plus, and Reddit Enhancement Suite. None of these addons are functional with e10s enabled currently.
In my org (a high school) we were having issues with spambots using our organization's address in the From: field for spam campaigns. The turning point for us was when a malware payload came with a From: field of the assistant principal addressed to many of our employees. The mail was not from one of our mail servers, but the From field trick some of our users into opening it. With DMARC + DKIM and a strict policy we have eliminated this problem.
We did have some minor implementation headaches. Our admissions team's spam mailing vendor was non-compliant with DKIM and would not work with us to set up authenticated mail. We resolved our issue with them by making the admissions guys send mail from a more permissive subdomain so that we could implement the strict protections on our primary domain.
All that said, the implementation was not incredibly difficult. We use Google Apps for our mailing, and a SMTP server on-campus to allow our applications to send mail. Google DKIM+DMARC is easy, and there are plenty of guides on implementing DKIM in Postfix. Overall I think the change has been worth it. I'm a little frightened at all of the abuse reports I see now that otherwise would have gone out in our domain's name.
This is a close call, but I conclude that Feldman's act of production, which would necessarily require his using a password of some type to decrypt the storage device, would be tantamount to telling the government something it does not already know with "reasonably particularity"
I'm guessing this is the trick. The government doesn't know there is evidence on the storage device. It sounds like they are making the argument that compelling a password for discovery purposes is a violation, but providing one to give them what they know you have is not. At least, that's what it seems like they are saying to me.
You must not work in the education sector. PowerSchool is becoming quite popular in many districts (at least where I live) these days and Windows and Mac are all they support. They most commonly set up Tomcat + Oracle on Windows servers.
Youtube videos are just crap - gotta load them hit play and THEN hit pause and let the rest download and then hit play again AFTER they download completely because otherwise, it just starts and stops.
I don't know WTF it is. Is Netlfix buffering that much better or is Youtube shitty?
Just copy the downloaded Lion to a thumb drive and install it on all the corporate computers. If anything, it's easier than windows.
Hate to burst your bubble, but in the Windows world you can deploy pre-configured operating systems to bare metal from a central server on your LAN. See: Windows Deployment Services.
People expecting any sort of copy-protection from YouTube are Doing It Wrong. The plethora of re-uploaded videos (with their source being other YouTube videos) should be evidence enough of that.

Sophos Antivirus's AutoUpdate feature flows over HTTP. This has been a known issue since 2013 and Sophos doesn't care.

That makes sense. I don't use the Kindle store frequently so I never would have seen it there.

I get by by running a VPN server at my house and then connecting to that while I'm on the go.
Nope. Even more annoying is if I pin sites to the start page they have tendency to go away every now and then.

Youtube is just shitty sometimes.
America's Army 3 uses Unreal 3 Engine and was released mid-2009.
That's the joke.

Because creating and transferring text files is easier.
Except Microsoft doesn't make video cards and video drivers.
worst case is that the user's files are all gone.
This is just as bad (if not worse) than losing the operating system for most users today.

4) Can you recognize software by its icon? If not you'll hate Windows 7.
Unlike GNOME 3, Windows 7 allows you to get your old (Vista style) taskbar back with a simple setting change.
TFA says that U-Verse is indeed capped, but AT&T's IPTV service doesn't count towards the cap.
