Then he is probably right. The gains in security from swapping out the phone every month probably don't justify the cost
Trump is not complaining about the cost of getting a new phone every month. Trump doesn't care about how much money it costs because it's not his money being spent to do it. If that was his argument, then you would have a point.
He is complaining because he is lazy and doesn't want to reconfigure a new phone every month, which I can understand. That is why his security team needs to do all of that for him, so that all they need to do is hand him a new phone that is configured exactly like the old one was, so that he doesn't need to do anything to make the new phone work.
If security gets in the way of the goal, then security is WRONG.
The security they want to do (swapping a phone every month) is not getting in the way of his goal, which is to send tweets. If Trump thinks that swapping a phone every month is inconvenient, then the security team needs to understand what is so inconvenient, and then work to take care of those things so that he is willing to swap the phone out.
Because their shit wont' be stolen or infected with bugs on the streets?
1) If I were someone that wanted to steal stuff from homeless people, would I want to wander down every street looking for a homeless person to steal from, or go to a big house where lots of homeless people are congregated?
2) If you are living on the street, you have probably found your own spot to stay that nobody else is sleeping in. Unless you already have bed bugs, you won't get them from sleeping in your own makeshift bed.
A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the traffic directing functions on the Internet. A data packet is typically forwarded from one router to another router through the networks that constitute an internetwork until it reaches its destination node.
A router is connected to two or more data lines from different networks.[b] When a data packet comes in on one of the lines, the router reads the network address information in the packet to determine the ultimate destination. Then, using information in its routing table or routing policy, it directs the packet to the next network on its journey.
A Netgear router, forwards packets from your internal, private IP network, onto the public IP network that connects to your ISP. Therefore, it is a router.
Good for some things (play the first 5 levels of my new game) but bad for other things (try out this GPS software that will only get you 80% of the way to your destination until you unlock it).
Lots of app offer free versions that have ads, or limited features. Nobody would make a free GPS that only gets 80% of the way, but they could make the paid version have extra features, like 'remember where my car is parked" or voice navigation.
IMHO, the trial version request is easily worked around.
The point of the article is that these things are breaking, and therefore are not usable. You are welcome to pick up other people's IoT junk, but I doubt it will be very useful to you
Each USB device is identified independently of each other. If you plug in a USB keyboard that also has a USB port with a flash drive plugged in, the computer will see two different devices and only lock out the flash drive.
If you are suggesting that someone can create a flash drive that the computer thinks is a keyboard, then the computer will not mount the drive to be written to since it knows that it cannot write data to a keyboard.
Nobody would have enough money to pay the bastards whatever they wanted for the DRM unlock, so... the internet would be unusable.
DRM does not mean that every single thing needs to be paid for. It just means that the consumer cannot freely copy the content and use it somewhere else.
Twitter's where I get raw, unfiltered messages from my president. That's the only reason I have it installed and the only reason I'm keeping it. I'm a big DJT critic, but I don't know why every American isn't following him on Twitter.
I actually did start following Trump when he got elected. I stopped after a month because all he ever posted was negative stuff and attacks against anyone that was critical of him. Nothing he ever posts is relevant to anything, and most of it is false,
A trailer rig full of mining computers that you can quickly hook to a commercial power outlet should do nicely and keep costs of relocation way down.
I doubt that the amount of electricity needed to run a "trailer rig full of mining computers" is going to require more than just an extension cord that you plug into a wall socket.
Because they can just immediately liquidate it and walk away with several hundred million dollars?
Uber is not a publicly traded company, so they cannot just immediately liquidate. They need to find someone else who is willing to buy it from them. Even if Uber was public, you can't sell that much stock at once.
The point is the equity stake should be sold and the proceeds should go to an appropriate charity.
How do you know that they won't. They probably won't do that, but the settlement just happened today, but it's unfair to say "Hey, you just got a bunch of money today, why haven't you given it away yet?"
While this is an interesting scenario, I bet the dollar amount of the custody battle was far, far less than what is at stake in this trial. The lawyers on both sides have a very strong incentive to make sure that the jurors know as little as possible about the details so they cannot be prejudiced.
Just because someone works from home does not mean that they never see their colleagues in person. Most remote people will still fly into their headquarters or regional location once a quarter or so.
"Mr Masri removed the code from GitHub, therefore disabling the "attack" unless someone was to replicate the code elsewhere."
It's called Forking, and probably was done by many people before he removed the code. This is rather reckless on his part to make the exploit available before Apple has a chance to patch it.

It's not worth the effort to take apart every single junk IoT just to get a minuscule amount of materials that could be re-usable.

What if I upload a porn video where the pornstar is holding a gun?

I traveled 584 million miles last year. So did you!
This could be a way to ensure that Travis Kalanick and his co-founders cannot take back control of the company.
Right now, they still have way too many shares.
.34 percent is not nearly enough to have any say in what goes on.

Wow, we didn't even have to ask for a car analogy.
But what kind of car? A diesel? V8? V6? What about a Tesla, or Volt?

sorry I couldn't find either of your companies on NYSE. no soup for you.
That is because they are in stealth mode!
In fact this may even trigger the next recession just like the dot-com bubble did. Probably won't happen for a year or two, but it will happen.
So you're saying that I should get in now?
Trump gave them wanna laugh.
How did Trump help NK leverage Bitcoin?
