Cisco's CLI is abysmal. There are much better, more efficient CLIs out there. And if you are tied to a single CLI, you're just lazy. You should be able to adapt and upgrade your brain to use the tools you have, rather than pick one because it is all you know.
IT is about managing change. CLIs have come and gone. I can't recall how many defunct CLIs I used to know.
All of those things can be provided, by proper IT.
Remote Monitoring - Virtual Desktop Infrastructure. Only systems inside the firewall can use the CCTV system, and VDI provides a way into the inside of the firewall. The CCTV system is on a non-routable VLAN that traffic cannot leave the premises. No hacking,no DDOS no nothing.
Centralized Monitoring - VLANs and VPNs. By setting up proper VPNs and VLANs, you can properly isolate systems from the outside, while providing the same level of service (perhaps even better service) for properly maintaining a single central monitoring service. The issue here is that in order to do this, you have to have an IT dept that can articulate why it needs to isolate networks from each other properly.
Ethernet Present - Yup, and probably the swiching/routing needed to properly VLAN and VPN the whole thing so that you can use existing infrastructure to isolate traffic from each other on the same equipment. Cheap ass networking gear excepted.
The liability should be on those who purchase crappy IoT devices because they are "cheap". If they are compromised, they (the owners) should be sued into oblivion by those who are affected, and make the device owners go back to the manufacturer to recoup their losses. Right now, our legal system, the victim (the public DDOS recipient) has almost no way to recoup their losses from crappy products that have been hacked. These CCTV devices are on corporate networks, and as such they (the corporate networks) should be held liable for the damages being done from their IP domain.
Until some part of the Federal Government takes responsibility for stopping this crap it will continue
Why is it the responsibility of the government and not you?
Here is a thought. You (not you personally, but you the collective) have gone the route of buying the cheapest CCTV systems in the world, should be held civilly liable for their use and maintenence. This means, that if I can trace any part of a DDOS to your CCTV system, I can sue you and your corporation for damages. And so can everyone else affected by your hacked and damaged system.
Small claims courts are great for death by a million paper cuts. It would take about 5 or 6 well known cases of courts siding with those that have been damaged by rouge systems owned by corporations before EVER LAST ONE OF THEM is pulled from service, and replaced by new systems that are less vulnerable. We don't need new laws, we need the courts to start assigning damages to victims in such a way that it doesn't pay to leave crappy CCTV systems infected with botware up.
The corporations can then figure out how to recoup their losses from the Chinese.
The F35 and the A10, while both are "fighter" jets, have completely different roles. The F35 is for establishing air dominance so that the A10 can ground n pound.
It is like saying the.300 Win Mag is the same as an M16. Both are rifles, but have different roles.
This is where slippery slope fallacy isn't really a fallacy. In just today's news, there are several different versions of assault on our liberties enumerated in the Constitution. And while you may be in favor of some of those assaults (from both Right and Left), I can assure you that ALL of them will eventually get passed, when nobody is looking or paying attention. And the real criminals, those in congress violating their oath, will be congratulated by those that support their party blindly.
And, I'll bet dollars to donuts that most, if not almost all, of those apps are Webpages wrapped in a GUI package. Notable exception is probably some of your games.
I used to have apps for a lot of those things, but found the website versions to be much better and more consistent to how I normally work anyways. It is convenient for sure, but when shortcut to Netflix Web is... just about as convenient as the App. You should try it if you haven't already.
Thats because most Christians on the right, even if they have wacky views, will give consideration to your viewpoint, before calling you names (if they go down that road). Whereas if a liberal disagrees with you, you're a RACIST, HOMOPHOBIC, MISOGYNIST, THEOCRATIC TERRORIST!
Bernie Madoff did what social security does, and he went to jail for it. IT is a ponzi scheme, and just because the government is involved, doesn't change a thing.
Socialism works until it fails. Then it fails for just about everyone, since everyone becomes economically equal just before failure. See Greece, Venezuela for fine relatively recent editions of socialism's failure. I'd point to Denmark too, but it hasn't failed completely yet.
Actually, most of the "impteen million apps" are crap, even for those that have tried them. If you have ten active users of your "app", and Billions of people don't want / need you have a very small niche market. That makes it more or less "crap" for the rest of the billions of people.
MOST of the Apps, the big ones, have millions of users, and those are fairly easy to identify. The problem is, Facebook isn't going to write an App for NEWOS, until there is significant user base that is there. And you won't have significant user base, until Facebook (et al) are there, creating a nice little chicken/egg problem for NEWOS adoption.
Unless there is a significant differentiation between the NEWOS and the other two (iOS/Android) that provides significant user experience improvement.. it is unlikely to be an instant hit.
The fact that Tiles make Windows Phone look like AOL from 95 is besides the point, right?
Besides, My android home screens are exactly what I want, minimalistic, with only the icons for the six or eight things I regularly use, and everything else in the App Drawer (hidden). And the number of customizable Widgets (think "smart tiles") is way more numerous than any smart tile options Microsoft thinks its users want.
The amazing thing is that in today's world, it takes 7 days to clear a check at all. When the banking system is run on sub Millisecond transactions at Wall Street, millions of times a day, it is hard to believe that it takes seven days of float (the real game) to complete the transaction.
Financial penalties and being hidden away in prison does nothing for announcing to the world that Joe Criminal is a dirt bag. If we brought back stocks and chain gangs, and such, the criminals would have much more evidence that crime doesn't pay. But we are a polite society, so we hide our criminals behind doors, so that nobody knows about them.
If I were "king" for a day, I'd start by putting every court room on TV, so that had record of everything.
Reset passwords only affects people who don't ever change their passwords. If a site asked me to change my password, I would. Then I would change it again every three months, just because they have semi-admitted they can't keep my passwords (and their service) safe.
With that many passwords getting hacked, why are you re-using the same password for everything? With Passwords being hacked all the time, why aren't you changing your passwords on a regular basis (every quarter, semi-annually)? With Passwords being exposed by all kinds of data breaches, and the power of Botnets, why are you NOT using two-factor authentication more?
Or is it because all of those things a matter of convenience (or inconvenient)? Might as well set it to the same thing as my luggage.
1) Recession started just after Bush got into office (less than one year) can we blame it on Clinton? 2) Recession has continued for nearly 14 years straight, more or less. Can we blame Obama? 3) The deficit was called Unpatriotic when Obama as criticizing GWB, and was half its current size 4) Obama has ended all the wars, cut military spending, and yet the deficit has more than doubled in size under him 5) While you can blame congress, you can blame the (D) and (R) parties both of whom don't give a rat's ass about spending, the (D) more so than the little (d) Republicans. 6) Risky bank activity thanks to the Mandates of Frank(D)-Dodd (D)
BTW, Risky Bank activity has happened under both (D) and (R) Presidents because greedy bastards in the bank have an "out" in FDIC and similar insurance. All the regulations designed to protect banking consumers have ended up only screwing banking consumers via Bank bailouts on Taxpayer dimes.
And yes, I hate the (R) party for saying one thing, and never having the guts to actually do it. And now, with Obama's sequestration, he is blaming the (R) for allowing the budget to be punted every year down the road.
To fix the problem we have to get rid of baseline budgeting and justify EVERY penny spent. There is a whole slew of budget items that while a minor droplet in the firehose of the budget, that should be gone. And you kill enough of those, and eventually you'll affect the firehose stream. And since the Federal Budget, including ALL "Entitlements" is mostly (over 1/2) off the table for cuts (as in cut in growth, not actual cuts), we're doomed to never reigning in the problem. Let it go long enough, and we'll end up like Greece, Venezuela or North Korea.
There are sensible alternatives to "gutting" (or minor cuts in increases as I call them) spending. But as long as claim others want dead grannies and starvign children, we'll never actually address the problem.
As for the recession, I have a fix. Lets have ONE year where congress reviews each and every regulation to see if it has had the desired effect and justify whatever is renewed.

Liberals have every right to attack your rights, and you have no rights to defend against them taking away your rights.
This is, the essence of the 2nd Amendment, and why it is crucial to understand why it is there in the first place.

Same bird. Wings are being clipped. And people wonder why we are flightless chickens.
Stop voting for the side that is clipping wings, because it will eventually cause your side to fall out of the sky too.
Yeah, by that measure, prisons make sure there is no crime too! Let's get rid of prisons, they don't stop crime either! /sarcasm

About the same as one supporting Monica's ExBoyfriend's Wife does.
