Ok, guns are designed to shoot projectiles. For what purpose? Target practice? What is target practice for? To get better at shooting? What is shooting for?.... destroying stuff.
Also, you cannot tell me that guns are not designed to kill. That is the whole reason guns were invented, sorry, no, not for target practice and not for sport... those things came later and only exist because of the existence and prevalence of guns.
FYI, I am not anti-gun. I am just not trying to delude myself as to their reason for existing.
Nobody is talking about banning guns or anything else.
We have the ability to make devices safer.
Here is the good old car analogy:
Cars kill thousands of people every year. We don't talk about banning cars but we DO talk about making cars safer. And cars are safer today than they were in the past. As a result, less people die. Yet, we cannot seem to have the same discussion about guns. Make guns safer? Quit trying to take away my guns! Can you see the problem here?
I completely agree with the statement that Win10 is not enterprise ready. Hell, the GPOs for Win10 haven't even been out for more than a few months and some of them don't even work still.
However, the bit about Win10 being worse than Win98 is pretty funny. At least Windows 10 has USB support out of the box;)
Every major Windows release has had a period of several months where drivers are not 100% and application makers need to update their code to work properly.
In a year or two I expect Win10 will be the new Win7 in the enterprise.
I find that by just including the Cygwin bin path in the system PATH variable gives me seamless command-line functionality without an issue.
Open CMD and use any command you need. This has the benefit of being able to mix Windows and UNIX commands together on the same command line.
I am also not sure what limitations you are running into with PuTTY... I have never run into any situation that PuTTY is not able to handle (port redirection, pass through agent authentication, X11 redirection, keep alive, etc). Not only does it do all the SSH stuff, but it also has functionality similar to telnet and screen.
That said, if I could get a native X11 interface inline with Windows... that would be great! No more need for PuTTY + Xming + remote linux box. I know that you can run a local X11 server though Cygwin... but that is definitely a mess and is very slow.
*Or* maybe just a 1 key system but when your unique key is created and baked into the silicon it is recorded in 2 parts. 1 part is sent to the government and then purged from the manufacturer's system and the other half stays in the manufacturer's db.
Both parts would need to be assembled to decrypt the data on that device. That key would be useless for any other device.
On further reflection, perhaps a 3 key system. All individualized. 1 key held by you, 1 by Apple and 1 by government. Any 2 can be used to decyrpt the data at rest on your phone.
I would think that a way to achieve compromise is to individualize the encryption to the device so that, if ordered by the court, the manufacturer could hand over the key(s) for that particular device to get the data at rest. That key would be useless for any other device and it would be useless for data in transit.
I am sure that this could be further secured by also requiring the manufacturer to use a government key as well. So the end effect would be that the manufacturer has one individual key for that device, the government has a key and both would be required to decrypt the data at rest.
In the case of a breach of one or the other, the keys gathered would be useless alone.
Is this technically impossible? I don't know much about encryption (as may be obvious) but it seems like if we don't reach a compromise, things are going to end a lot worse with the government ultimately getting its way without any input from the industry.
Once Google bought the start up and saw the "crap" that was the OS.... why would they choose to continue on that path instead of scrapping it for something better? It's not like Android had any traction at that time. There are plenty of smart people at Google, I have to believe that they chose to go forward with the Java route for a good reason.
I didn't plagiarize that book, I wrote it from scratch. It just happens to have all of the same major plot points and the character names are the same.
Perhaps a better analogy is if someone took Android and Google Play services, wrote the whole thing from scratch and kept all of the same API names so that you could run Android apps on on it.
I would be willing to bet that Google lawyers would have something to say about that.
Each time those break down (which seems to happen at least twice a year, at my station) the time to get them back into service is measured in months.
At least they keep escalators running... Where I live (Minneapolis, MN), the train stations that have escalators turn them on for about an hour a day to cover peak traffic and that is about it. It is not that big of a deal for me, but it does make me wonder what the point was of spending all the money for an escalator if it is only expensive stairs most of the time.
Wait a minute... $3.5 million? This is the bay area... the place where housing costs are forcing out the average waged worker. You'd think that amount of money would be a rounding error...

Especially if they are the hands of fate!
The Windows registry section of this article works just find to disable GWX.

This has been the case with every MS operating system AFAIK.
Once the official support window has lapsed, you can start writing some big checks to MS for extended support.

A couple of things.
First, firearms are already pretty heavily regulated (i.e. handguns, assault weapons, ammo gauge, military grade firepower)
Second, the government already has a long standing ability to search and seizure through proper channels. What makes a phone different?
IMO, there is definitely room for compromise here.

I would be willing to bet that non-firewalled printers with public IPs have stuff spewing out of them all the time.
It is just the hate speech that has made this news.
IKR?
I was going to post the same thing. Using a device the way it was intended to be used is not hacking...
The only novel part of this is the fact that he used shodan or something to find the printers in the first place.
I mean, telnetting to the SMTP port and sending a spoofed e-mail is not hacking. Nor is sending a print job to a printer...
That makes 0 sense.

It's not like Android had any traction at that time. There are plenty of smart people at Google, I have to believe that they chose to go forward with the Java route for a good reason.
But since Google doesn't do evil... well, they must be in the clear.

Volvo would love that!
And yet they cannot even afford to upgrade their aging transit system...
Yeah also objectification of women fits right in with those conservative values too apparently...

Also, the elevators serve as bathrooms.
What could go wrong there?
Everybody who bids the actually feasible cost may get the contract but would be shut down at the first unforeseen obstacle.
How may half finished projects before government reverts the rules or bidders learn to game the system by over bidding?
