Business and its economic Interest are always trumpeted by those who stand to profit.
Open sourced is a counter culture against greed driven exploitation via obfuscated means.
It stands to reason that intermittently over time, business supporters will make attacks on Open source, and it's legitimacy and attempt to re define it's meaning. purpose and objectives...
Freedom means being liberated from fascist controls and manipulations as well as transparency in it power and in democratic structures.
Antivirus relevancy is rapidly decreasing...
Considering that Windows 10 includes, Windows Defender now enhanced with Security Essentials (Anti Spyware / Anti Virus) (Free and built in to the O.S.)
Not including that the real "Protection" to the file system "Internals" is the windows MRT.exe another built in tool that Microsoft upgrades monthly and quietly runs invisible in the background each time you boot the box.
These are largely all anyone really needs, to "Protect" Windows. as far as Windows "Protection" is concerned.
The real tool-kit required to have is knowledge of the Microsoft SFC (System File Check) as the SFC is how you can find out which files are corrupted by malware and need to be replaced. That is the secret sauce ingredient to any good system clean-up recipe.
Also In the largest number of cases the users typically are led to unwittingly "Chose" to install malware on their system.
Either due to technical ineptitude or a total lack of awareness of their own online behaviours.
This even when A.V's tell them not to install something.
The other real trouble with A.V.'s is that the largest hole in the security equations is Web browsers server side scripts bidirectional interactions. Meaning sites average around 10 to 25 scripts, pulling everything from profiling data, and advertising or marketing propaganda, to direct control of user system functionality and even drive video game within the web browser. Some Exotic new malware (and spyware) now exploit these extensively.
This is significant since most modern exploit are web browser centric. This is the real weak point where user behaviours are socially engineered into functional obfuscated exploits. Typically via embedded scripts, mingled with Adverts and privacy busting data gathering by businesses.
The safe route for joe average is Linux, with Firefox configured with NoScript, not add blockers but an actual "Extensive" script management system that provides full visibility and granular control to the user this will then elevate their awareness to the point where visibility grants administrative access over ones own privacy and security.
The only remaining issue is what can be cleanly embedded within PHP and kept obfuscated to the users while permitting access to remote processing on visiting machines...
As for the real security issues facing us, I don’t think I ever wrote a better explanation as the one here: https://hermes-computers.ca/ar...
I educated myself in the 90's in Fiber optics (O.T.D.R.) (Fusion Splicing / single/multi mode) etc...
The expectation was that Fiber was then and would be in the future "THE" standard.
However as in everything profitable in capitalist controlled societies they had to milk that cow in such a way as to minimize the deployment of such tech while pushing expensive slow evolving platforms that kept power and bandwidth out of the hands of consumers while feeding massive monopolies.
Just watch them contort like snakes while they lobby against local government providing "Free" or low cost fiber or Gig Ethernet access to their constituents while they refuse to provide decent speed/bandwidth or even accessibility to same consumer zones...
Oh, the Joys of Capitalism...
Netflix is a huge threath to every one elses business model.
- You can watch an entire movie without a single commercial.
- You can practically enjoy every movies in Netflix's inventory for one low monthly price!
- You can watch that movie more than once and you can pick when you watch it at your leasure.
This is forcing the bandwidth providers to a minimal standard of performance for bandwidth, and quality of service delivery, and it's chipping at their monopoly over content delivery since they also own the major Television broadcast services like with Rogers and Bell who are both...
All I can ear here is the local Canadian industry and the leading local bandwidht providers screaming at the top of their lungs at our government via lobbyists and those nasty smelling guys in suits who service the needs of the rich elites they call lawyers...
They are all shouting lets stop Netflix... At all cost!
Our system, is the real problem here. Corporations now have way too much control over policy. The population have no say, no voice, at least not a voice that matters to politicians...
Even when the government appears to be legislating on corporate behaviours they are simply working to ensure the feeding of the largest predators the best scraps of meat...
You know things are disingenuous when your ISP's are telling you to tighten your consumer belt so they can grow rich and fat while they give you the trickle...
My crappy DSL (Canada) is a mere 25 Megs and I'm still not really satisfied...
I really cant see why someone would be satisfied with 4 megs even if they do not know any better.
You must realise that the load pipeline is reducing the overall speed for everyone else further up simply because the latent load takes forever to move foreward, while artificially slowed down, and it further forces others to queu their data longer until full bandwidth is restored thus effectively slowing them down as well...
The faster you move everything the faster everything gets done!
These are simple tactics to gouge power users even more by makeing them beleive they are having a premium service over others.
The appropriate focus should be to implement fiber to every nodes. (Homes/Business etc)
The internet backbones are fiber, why not end point also?
If you take a hard look at the how the system actually work, you end up with a rather clear and consise picture of what's really going...
Unfortunately it's not what you are told to think the system is by the media, and other spin outfits...
Based on these recent discoveries it would appear the old copernican relative heliocentric perception of time needs some serious adjustments, since degree based graduations are now degraded to sub galactic time with the new super galactic model...
I wonder what time it really is based on this time scale. Anyone has any idea?
Oh, Hell Yea!
However, it will take time for the average computer user unable to handle current system with watercooling needs...
My guess is that anything current does need super cooling as in liquid Nitro cold...
So the likely scenario of a broadly deployable technology is probably a very long time away...
