I live ~60 miles down wind of Hanford, alarms, TV's are all set to alert us of a problem; I read about it on Slashdot. There was no release (at least their story). Local news says to go to www.Hanford.gov
I use Autoruns to disable Microsoft Windows mail then bring a shortcut to the desktop for Forte Agent (from a different drive). I've done this since at least NT/Win98, I've never lost any mail, and already setup. And I still have a Hotmail.com account.
My Win10 install is very minimal 7 directories, all of my malware sites have been shutdown so I used the EICAR test file. I was still in the glow of that test it was entertaining tossing that file out and seeing if Defender picked up on it and it was found fairly quickly. Problem here is all malware programs are written to catch the EICAR test file.
The glow is gone and my Linux Mint not booting after this large Windows update (No boot menu). Things are still the same I've found - let Windows install the file/driver and it's broke being one.
I've been with Netflix many years now and it just getting worse, never better for me.
My account type has split to include DVD's by mail, I don't care how easy it is I know many would sit till I owned them; so let that one go staying streaming only.
The Stargate series being removed was the start (Slashdot had an article on this), and between the last time I let Netflix lapse "Mankind (The history of us)" was removed as many others. I have a hard time finding anything worth watching.
But for less than $10 a month still a deal.
--I don't access Netflix online, this is done by a Panasonic Plasma TV and limit in it's ablity.
I'm OEM so no third party participation and Win10 is a tiny freaking OS. My Mom had a preference of shopping with out me and bringing home Acers. I missed my games and went Windows 10 Pro and so far 2 Linux Mint OS's, but it's early - Asus's EFI-BIOS will not update
There are mistakes in the TOS (You read it if asked), one being who you get the updates from, MicroSoft and a tightly controlled thirds. If you use Autoruns https://technet.microsoft.com/... you will find a server running, while mayhaps a bad thing, I see it as their plans of sending them out as torrents (and against the TOS).
Having no malware handy other than the stuff I know I have (no you can't touch that), had to use Eciar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... and found Defender fairly quick and killed a bit of time hiding the packets:)
When it's all set up next week I'll have an open WiFi for whoever needs it, a TOR server to help push that system. And I appreciate what cloudflare is doing.
This one hits home. While I haven't downloaded from thepiratebay.org in awhile, it's access was important to me, it showed an open Internet. I guess it's 4chan.org now, this only because it's hosted by cloudflare.com as well. https://www.robtex.com/?dns=4c...
I went to 8th grade in the Philippines. There were so many of us they had to stagger the classes, half went to school in the early morning and the other half after lunch.
Going to the afternoon sessions, I felt I was more alert and able to learn more.
Fred Fish! (Any Amiga owners from the '80's would recognize the reference.) He was, in fact, a real person. We were in the same division within Motorola Computer Group at one time, though I knew of him from the Amiga world well before I met him in person.
Yes, Fred Fish disk were eagerly awaited. He started collecting programs for his monthly Amiga meetings and it took off from there.
A glaring difference between an Amiga and a Beamer user, was a Beamer would always ask how much they owed you if you gave them a program.
A search engine I forget allowed one to view searches in real time then blocked it a few months later. It was very kool to watch, and a feature I miss.
It cost a bundle but my hobby, and I'd go back to those days in a heart beat but it's over.
I feel ya, really I do. Remember when the concept of entire international networks of computers being disabled by a government-funded, self-propagating, polymorphic computer virus was nothing more than hyperbolic science-fiction absurdity? Remember when we used to think to ourselves: "Yea, but in real life who would be stupid enough to hook software that insecure to an open public network?"
Oh, for the return of simpler times. We understood the technology so very well, but we understood people almost not at all.
While on the Amiga side during the "war", there was security through obscurity, I even hex edited the version number of the Cnet software so nobody knew what "exploit" could be used.
Yet yes it's a different time, I'm seeing Linux and the reported people connected to ones computer the only way of being sure your secure. More than one I'd consider a problem.
WWIV + LORD + Tradewars. That was middle school in a nutshell, on a 14.4 bbs with a phone cord strung out from my room to the living room to sneak on at 1 AM...
I played one game on an IBM BBS I really enjoyed called "Food Fight". A text based food fight where one earned or lost food...
I can't have what I had due to the Internet more so IRC.
I ran 3001 BBS (go figure), a 6 line chat board.
Cnet software on an Amiga 3000, a 6 port serial printer card, 6 2400 baud modems and a Robotics HST (1400 baud) which I allowed any one who wanted to log in for free, a donation gave more time forever (time was a commodity).
I ran it for close to 4 years 24/7, and it was the most popular BBS this area ever saw. Post I was going to the park and a few would show up, card games every weekend, it was a very nice time. People of all ages just wanted something to do, and I managed a few girl friends.
I could and did take my entire chat area and join up with any Cnet software in the world, this at 10 Cents a minutes for each phone line.
It cost a bundle but my hobby, and I'd go back to those days in a heart beat but it's over.

Or will you get cut off when Google changes something on their end?
At the very least you "should" get an email telling you of changes, where you get to ya or na it.

For me. Quick and on the money. I have tested it to see if it will open when asleep - Nope.
This AD is a cheap trick, yet shows the risk of using Google home or any other device of it's nature.

Best I've seen, it not only allowed a backspace it removes the previous character that remained as part of the password.
Telnet links still work AFAIK so why not post them?

But I still have the OS2 CD given out just before Windows was first released
Nope not the right one, from the CD:

Alaska, Bears will enter a bus to eat workers lunches.
Deer, suburbs are entering their area so they have to raid what they can till captured as someone will call about them.
Yellowstone, Bears have entered cars through windows forcing people to exit while it searches for food.
One doesn't feed or allow animals to find a source of food or they will make it a habit.
