  1. It's easy enough to turn off via group policy on Microsoft Won't Patch 20-Yr-Old SMBv1 Vulnerability (You Should Just Turn the Service Off) (onmsft.com) · · Score: 1

    The trouble is that lots of software still requires it. Probably why MS don't turn it off via an update.

    Why do you think it will be the same afterwards? The EU won't just give it to us, it will be part of the negotiations which at the moment don't seem to be going too well.

    It shows how broken the political system is that that terrible man was seen as the answer.

    He is the only presidential candidate in the last 25 years to talk about the damage done to people's lives by globalisation and talk about reversing it.

    If your life had been wrecked by transfer of jobs abroad, you'd probably feel a bit differently. Shouting "stupid" at these people might make you feel good but trying to understand them would be a better use of your time. It didn't help that the wife of the architect of their misery was the other candidate.

    The trouble with the left these days is that the compassion for everyone in need has been replaced by virtue signalling on Twitter and judging everyone's needs by their physical characteristics. White = privilege even if you can barely afford to eat and so is it any wonder that poor white people don't buy into that political philosophy. Ask yourself why your message is so unpopular that people were willing to vote in great numbers for the most unsuitable candidate in history.

    That's great if your manufacturer and carrier can be bothered to update your phone to the latest version. Otherwise you're stuck with what was preinstalled. You can install a third party ROM but then you run the risk of bricking your phone and in any case you can't expect non-technical people to do that.

    I've had the same issue with Windows Server doing that. It doesn't happen every time but when it does, the lack of information on what's going on (an unknown error has occurred ffs and a log file that tells you bugger all) you end up having to rebuild the server. I hate both Windows and Linux though. They're both not as good as they could and should be.

    My laptop came with 2.4ghz wifi only. That was fine living in a shared house. When I moved to an apartment the wifi sucked due to congestion. I bought a dual band dongle to get around this. When I decided to give Linux a try again I found I had to build the driver myself from source. No biggie for me but good luck getting non-technical users to do that.

    I can see that working really well:

    "How do I run my games?" "You can't"
    "Why doesn't my wifi dongle work?" "You need to build this source package"
      "How do I open a Word document" "Libre Office"
