  1. Re:Windows, right? on Ships Infected With Ransomware, USB Malware, Worms (zdnet.com) · · Score: 2

    I was curious after your statement what operating system is actual on ships. And according to this site, IT IS WINDOWS.

    Shipowners should update their onboard computer systems to the latest Windows operating system, if they are on Windows XP for instance, to avoid viral disruptions. They should also consider upgrading satellite communications with VSAT and a smart communications module, such as Speedcast's Sigma Gateway.

    Navios group IT director Katerina Raptaki explained that most of the computers on ships it operates are updated to the latest operating systems. âoeWe have spent a lot of money and human resources to update our onboard computers to the latest Windows as it expands the possibility of the resources,â she said at a seminar co-hosted by Riviera Maritime Media and Speedcast.

    However, not all systems on Navios' ships were updated as the cargo control systems remain on Windows XP operating systems because of the cost of getting shipyards to update the software, Ms Raptaki explained. She was involved in discussions at the Reality and Future of the Digital Ship seminar during Nor-Shipping near Oslo, Norway.


    I only looked this up out of curiosity.

    Actually, it's going to connect the Bay Area and Southern California metro areas with each other and the Central Valley, but go on with the regurgitated talking points.
    Glad to see your priorities do not include your huge homeless problem. And my information about the various topics from california comes from LA times, so don't think I look for anti California sites. Your state sucks. I can also add reference from USA Today where the quality of living is ranked very low. But hey, you love your state.
    Personally, I wish your state would grow a set of balls and leave the union. You hate the rest of us, and we also hate you. Get out, and don't let the door hit you in the ass.

    Lol, not me. I am not a fan of California, nor do I live there. I find them to be hypocrites. They are funding a bullet train to nowhere, but they have one of the largest homeless populations in the nation. I think the priority for money would be the homeless. This topic right here is where I find them to be hypocrites. They can claim they are 100 renewable as long as they do not count the energy they import from other states.

    https://www.forbes.com/sites/j...

    Yet, beyond power rates 45% above the U.S. average, California has another problem that makes it less of a model than some proclaim. California now imports 33% of its electricity supply from fast growing neighbors, with about 65% of that coming from the Southwest and 35% coming from the Northwest. These numbers increase most in summer months when air conditioning loads peak. Imports have been rising rapidly: in 2010, California "only" imported 25% of its power.
    It's good that they are going EV, but they are the ones that complain about the rest of the nation. But who are they getting a third of their electricity from? The deplorable s.
