It works like this, a recruiter wants access to the HR or C level exec at a company. So, the recruiter sends out a contact request to the 300 employees of that company hoping that a few will accept. And of the Few that accept, there's a decent chance they have connections to real targets in the co.
Ah yes, but lets not forget that a laptop runs an OS that is made for productivity. Android and iOS are made for consumption.
If you want to create stuff, you need a laptop with an real OS designed for that. Last time I checked, after the upgrade from ver 4, I couldn't mount a cifs share on my phone anymore. Hmmm. And I need to save and edit files, android puts files all over the freaking place, have you ever tried finding something specific (and, no, letting the OS sort shit for me won't fly for real work).
If you can even get to the battery.... with newer cars, the days of shadetree mechanics are long gone, how long is it before removing the connectors fromt he posts will require special tools.
THen what's your alternative.... Every company wants 'their' software on the phone that you can't remove. How else will they get your data and usage.... er um I mean how else will they add value.
With my nexus, I rooted it and use no google accounts. I run my own email server, I contact sync to my own server, I host my calendar on my own server, I side load any applications I need without using google playstore. I'm sure they are drooling at the mouth to get some unremovable software on that phone to harvest info that I am now able to deny them.
1) found my own church. 2) Commandment 1 - Thou shalt not expose your face in public..... Now I'm legit because covering my face is my religious belief.
Sounds to me like some local governments may be a wee bit worried that their local police won't be able to setup roadblocks and speedtraps to write out massive amounts of tickets to fill their coffers anymore? With self driving cars all going the speed limit and obeying all the traffic laws.... what will they do for money.
Not a 'non-issue'. Large companies with assurance licencing may have enterprise.... but all the small companies with 10-200 employees order PCs with an OEM windows PRO lic on it.
OMG - that is brilliant. You should pitch that to Netflix. I'm sure they could run a VPN service for another $5.00/month. It's a whole new revenue stream
Hell, I have a Tech blog with HOW-To style stuff.... All I do is ask for a $5 to buy me a beer if something I published saved you time or stress. Some people do send in the Donation.
I never understood this region license thing as it applied to digital media. It made sense when you had PAL vs NTSC or had to deal with local people to distribute.... but in the age of netflix, it seems very archaic.
It's just the media companies desperately holding on to old sources of revenue instead of trying out new licensing models.
Seriously, a pair of eyes is a pair of eyes.... If my canadian neighbor lives 1 mile away from me, why should I see a show and not them.
Plus, don't get me started on the VPN blocking.... this stupidity by netflix and hulu are what keep me from running Full vpn through my DD-WRT router on my network. If I did, no one in the house could use either service.
I've used owncloud calendar/contacts/filestore for years. CalDAV and CardDAV syncs contacts and calendar to Thunderbird and to my android phone. I get synced files/contacts/calendar all WITHOUT Google.
Even wrote up complete instructions in my blog for those needing a hand.
Through in Let's Encrypt for cert services and I have a personal cloud with SSL support that works with TBird and all my family phones.
When I managed my old company network, I used malware bytes also. There's no money to be made destroying your PC, only in controlling it.
I used a host file per machine to block sites and GPOs to lock down the user's temp dirs so no EXEs could be run from there (mostly for the crypto infections.
Other than that, if a person ever got infected, the machine was immediately imaged back to its weekly image. That threat kept people from risky clicks more than anything else.
I'll tell you this... my 5th grader asked for help on his homework consisting of dividing 2 and 3 digit numbers.
So we worked through all the problems together.
He got a 0 on the homework even though all the answers were correct.
When I went in to see the teacher about it, she said that we used long division and not the new math method of solving the problem. Thus he got a 0 even though all the answers were correct and my kid now knew how to do the work after I showed him the method I was taught.
I'm curious as to why any agency would announce that it could read these messages publicly? The bad guys now won't use this perhaps? It's akin to the national argument over Snowden revealing the collection of phone records and everyone screaming how the bad guys will now have this info and that put everyone at risk.

I'm not talking about accessing CIFS, I want to mount it to /mnt/ or whereever. IF you have a solution that allows me to do this, please share.

This is the extent to which some people want to keep win 10 off their systems..... cut off the entire internet.

I've had PGP for 7 years. In that time I've exchanged 2 keys..... and 1 belonged to my wife which I setup for her.
Don't forget about the kittens.... you forgot the kittens.

This is why I never used a Social media site, never uploaded a single photo, Now if I can only get others to stop uploading photos with me in them.

Too bad Firefox/MOzilla is trying to shed itself of thunderbird too. I hope it finds a good home, it's been my go to mail client for years.
I did try evolution with Office 365 EWS and that worked well.

I still have in house machines on XP. No need for patching if they don't talk outbound to the public net.

Not penn and teller, I believe that was 'The Man Show' from comedy central.
IT comes preinstalled on alot of machines. Its something I remove when de-crapifying any new system.

Stupid as far as I am concerned.

99.99% is too generous a number. Stretch out those 9s a bit more
