My house has my Truck I bought 2012 out front, which is new as the previous imagery was at the latest from 08. I can only assume that the image was taken on a weekend, as I don't spend much time at my house during the week since I am usually at work.
This particular ransomware is Windows only, but it isn't like your OS of choice is immune, just not worth targeting. There have been ransomwares for MacOS and Linux, they just don't gain the traction of the Windows only ones because there are so few people who actively use these OSes.
This comment made me stop and think. I have now spent approximately 30 minutes trying to determine what was the best way to do backups to replace my backup to external USB, as ransomware now makes that not a good solution anymore. This is for home use, not work use as work can afford the expensive solutions.
The solutions I just ran through were:
Tape - probably would cost upwards of $10k or require more work from me every backup swapping tapes Blu Ray - Even worse...tape is 800GB for a reasonably priced drive, Blu Ray is 50 GB for a reasonably priced disc. External Hard drive - A lot less maintenance from me; swapping drives every week. Approximate cost for me would be 150 for two drives that would be able to store most of my data
Then I remembered Amazon Glacier It looks like there are some pretty decent software backup solutions that integrate with Glacier, such as https://fastglacier.com/ and Glacier storage is dead cheap, I was backing up 4TB from my house and only spending $8 a month to store it. It also allows for undeletable/overwritable backups, just like swapping drives or tapes would accomplish
Do you have any other recommendations that I have missed for the home user backing up their data?
Otherwise, why post an offtopic link? You are just being buried under all the other posts on the current article, and getting down modded so that the majority of people don't even see the link you are posting.
There are key combinations to deal with a phone lockup (power and volume down held, or something like that depending on manufacturer). However, I do understand the point, as there is the issue of water damage too. If you can pull the battery and let the phone dry, it is more likely to have no damage than it you can't pull the battery.
I was just offering a better solution for the paranoid who are afraid of being tracked. The antistatic bag doesn't care if the manufacturer hid a small battery in the phone to run the GPS when the main battery is pulled, and should always work. If you are really afraid of being tracked, you can't just rely on pulling the battery. But then you also can't drive your car, or wear your shoes. Anything could contain a tracking device nowadays.
I'm sorry, re-reading my first sentence, I realized I missed half the sentence.
I would also point out, the lack of need of SD slots isn't shown out by the huge number of lightning port external flash devices on the market.

I would also point out, the lack of need of SD slots being ok with consumers isn't shown out by the huge number of lightning port external flash devices on the market.
When there are enough people trying to expand the storage by plugging something into the bottom port, it proves that many people want the feature, not that no one cares. In fact, the external flash drives for phones are a horrible solution compared to SD cards, but people deal with it because it is all that is available for the iPhone and many other phones.
There are many people who still buy iPhones, but want expandable storage, or else nobody would produce external storage designed specifically for the iPhone.
What vacuum? It has been in development for years now. They have several prototypes, and it isn't like moving from a prototype to manufacturing takes years more.
My guess is he works for another manufacturer and sees this competition as unfair.
I remember a while back being at a beverage industry conference, and hearing some guy saying he was going to drop his Costco membership because they were trying to become a "distributor" to get around the distributor lock-in of the various beer and soft drink companies. I thought this was a rather odd position as all they are trying to do is reduce costs to lower prices for consumers, then one of my coworkers reminded me that the guy worked for the distributors, and that is why his position was what it was.
This AC comment sounds almost exactly the same to me. How dare Google try to improve the user experience and sell phones directly, this will kill my industry that has been raping the consumer for years!
So if it is so clear cut, why not go to court and prove his innocence? Because the big bad US government is going to extradite him? Somehow it is easier to go through all of this to extradite him instead of just extraditing him from the UK, a very close ally and member of the Five Eyes.
Defending an accused rapist who is a fugitive from justice just makes you look like a terrible person. If he is so innocent, then he should be before the judge pleading that innocence. He isn't innocent, and he knows it, which is why he is hiding in an embassy to avoid trial.
The main issue with McCain as I remember it was the way he moves. He walks like an 80-90 year old man. What the Dems of the time failed to understand is why he moves like that. The man was a POW, and was tortured. His joints are messed up because he nearly gave everything in service of this country. He should be being honored for it, not made fun of for it like he was back then.
It is wrong when anyone does it, it is even more wrong when it is ok for one side in a previous election, but suddenly terribly sexist in this election.
I would highly recommend the Nexus 5X, it is very fast, rarely do you see the pauses of previous phones I have had, and as a previous poster typed, it got a ifixit score of 7/10: https://tech.slashdot.org/comm...
I have had no issues with mine, I kind of miss wireless charging, but it charges so fast, you really don't need it. My son however broke the glass top layer on his within the first month...so your milage will vary.
It is the pressure for always thinner phones. Personally, I don't get it, I would rather a rugged phone than a credit card that breaks on the first use, but there must be some segment of the population that wants a credit card phone that is practically single use.
For me, with camping and other Boy Scout activities, I would be happier with a more rugged version of the Brigadier with thicker glass. That phone didn't even hold up to my house, let alone camping trips.
So, I guess I bought the right one. Unfortunate for my son who broke the glass covering on the screen of his after a month though, as the display assembly isn't cheap.
At least his screen and touch panel are fully functional, it appears to be just cosmetic.
30 hours vs 40 hours. I don't know if I would call a 30 hour battery exactly skimping. It is quite thin though, and I would likely lean towards the force instead if only for the screen, but the 40 hours battery would also be nice, as that is a whole weekend.
I would also point out, the lack of need of SD slots isn't shown out by the huge number of lightning port external flash devices on the market.
People want expandable storage, but not enough to buy a different phone. My guess is it is more about learning a new interface, and fear of the unknown.

I suppose you also think the F35 can replace the A10 too!
Naa, the AC-130 handles that role quite nicely.
Most people want a six pack, I have the whole keg!
I worked really hard getting in the shape I am, pear is a shape...

Yeah, that one is LG, but what about the Moto X that was manufactured by Google in Texas?

Frankly, it is much easier to carry one of those antistatic bags and throw the phone in there if you really don't want GPS and 4G to work.

So go to iFixIt before buying a phone?

If expandable storage was no big deal, there would be no market for these flash drives, or the USB-C/microUSB equivalents.
They started construction after watching Iron Man 2.

It works pretty good too, though it isn't as accurate as NTP.
