I thought there were some constitutional protections in the US to prevent this type of thing from happening, but I guess not.
Most of the terrorist activities I've seen reported were using unencrypted communications.
Social media sites provide a treasure trove of suspects with simple searches. I mean really, just start with all the twitter/youtube/facebook rants and work your way down from that.
At some point having a centralized control increases flexibility and security over and above the effort needed to implement it.
In your old school scenario if you were fired then Fred down at IT would have to schedule someone to physically come to your office and and re-program your door lock to stop you gaining access to not only your office but all those other sensitive places that you previously frequented. That would take time and manpower to do.
In a connected world, run one script and *poof* you are instantly persona non grata in the entire organization. Of course the connected world scenario does require security to be correctly implemented. But that is what pen testing is all about. It is akin to the software corollary that untested software should be considered broken.
Nah, the parking lots, security fence entry and building entry were on RFID which was on a separate network. Easy to revoke if needed.
My office doors weren't RFID. You had to actually insert a card into the standalone locks which needed to be programmed for access. The locks also kept a record of who/what accessed them. I like old school.
The only downside was the magnetic strip would wear out after a few years...
I do have a degree in Computer Science. I was never a programmer, except in college.
That being said, I never wanted my child to learn coding as anything other than as another tool to solve problems, not as a profession.
Critical thinking and problem solving skills were always more important to learn. Knowing the right questions to ask, and having the ability to know when someone was "stretching the truth" or outright lying to your face.
There are other far more valuable computer tracks than programming, like Network Security specialties. Design, and architecture that pay far more than programming.
but the $600 Chromebook $300 laptop (even one running windows) in terms of functionality, storage, available applications... The $300 laptop may be a bit thicker.
Now if you toss linux on the $300 laptop, it gets much better...
"Do you try to implement the code contained in the first link google gives you for your search?"
I'm guessing about 80% of the code tossed into franken-vehicles is directly downloaded by shoddy/H1-B/lazy programmers, who haven't ever written a line of code or documentation for a production envuronment (no marter what their CV says.)
It's nice to be able to blame others when you no longer have any influence or financial interest on social media.
It would also be very beneficial for users of social media to never be passionate about issues because a sedated, non-controversial flock are very cheap and easy to wrangle.
Financial interests are all that matters to the owners of social media sites. If it didn't cause an outcry (more work) they probably would be running Trump/Nazi/Erectile Medication ads on every page of their sites.
As oppose the other complaint of Apple devices? More expensive titanium/gold/unobtainium devices with a more expensive screen/touchbar/camera?
This is just the expected Apple bashing. If Apple came out with a cures for breast cancer, sickle cell, and juvenile diabetes then they'd be pilloried for doing nothing for old white guys.
Totally false. They 'allegedly" cause testicular, prostate and brain cancer. They love white men.
If you check your Apple Store terms of service they also require your will to be re-written to leave everything to them when you do die./s
“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

of course the high school my kid attended required a TI-84 for students.
They left out the other significant development in cheap calculators, the built-in solar power which meant no batteries at all.
Someone else already complained about RPN and someone else mentioned 80085 so my work is done.
only outlaws will have encryption.

Why put your door locks in an accessible network?

the phone calls from "Mictosoft Tech Support" on my cell phone,
I don't have anything other than some old Xbox running old versions of XBMC from Microsoft in my house.
The only entertainment I get is asking them, when they call, if it's Monsoon season yet.

Please feel free to make it 80-100 inches, with the "roller" on the remote, with ethernet/wifi, and antenna and HDMI inputs,

I'm waiting for 640K. It should be enough for anyone.
the whole android is linux argument.
I don't see dropbox abandoning android support in the summary.
The good news? I'm sure there will be something to replace the client published in the near future.

robocalls. Especially from companies I hate almost as much as I already could.
Net Neutrality as imposed a president ago was fraught with a bunch of BS, it should have been one page long.
Someday maybe someone with less financial interests could actually do what needs to be done with telecoms, but I'm not going to hold my breath.
With sufficient climate change, the demand for resources will fall enough that there should be plenty left for the survivors. /s

I don't use google search though...

I've had an AMD-64 microcode patch sitting in my update manager for a week or so. I think I'll wait a little longer to apply it,
