It's not about users, it's about defending against a breach. We transparently proxy all traffic, drop anything that isn't HTTP/HTTPS and only relay requests that match a whitelisted (sub)domain. Since we have so little egress traffic, i take a single system to do this and we keep a hot standby for failover. Relying on DNS doesn't offer you any protection here.
What about limiting egress traffic from high security networks that have nothing to do with traffic from people? Perhaps you don't know all the use cases for things.
Seems realistic to me. Assuming "desktop software" are things like Word and Photoshop and etc, I haven't used much in the way of "desktop software" for most of the last two decades. I need a terminal and a browser and I'm golden. Sure, I use a lot of dev tools and software from the terminal but almost nothing else that belongs in the desktop category (current job uses zoom, which I find unimpressive). As a Linux desktop and laptop user since the 90s, this seems completely normal to me. I've considered a Chromebook for some personal stuff because they're dirt cheap and have the two things I really need. Dumb terminals are smart again.
I miss being able to hold a phone in one hand and type. I have nexus 4 that I keep updated still. It's not my daily diver because it's underpowered for my current work but it's great when I just need a map and something to stream audio. If I could design a dram phone it'd be a similar size, modern processor, 16G+ storage (I don't keep much) and 3G+ RAM with a headphone jack. That's it. I don't care about screens or cameras (I remove them and leave them with my collection of tinfoil hats, where possible) or of the other frills. Unfortunately for me, I'm not in a target market. Everyone seems to want to give their phone biometric data and keep Bluetooth and NFC running and take selfies so they can face swap with tennis shoes and.... GET OFF MY LAWN!
Because they don't care about versions. In 1999 Slackware jumped from version 4.0 to version 7.0 for marketing reasons. The other big distros were putting out higher versions and the visuals made it look like Slackware was behind. I don't recall the exact statement but the general message was something like "if we bumped versions like other distros, we'd be at 12 (or something) by now." It was a weird move but there was some sense to it. Linux isn't new. People understand that distro versions and kernel versions aren't the same thing. They don't need to uprev but -current is always moving.
Slackware was my second distro but the first (RedHat) was only on the box for a couple days before my really geeky friend shamed me into using Slackware. Soooooooooo painful. Soooooooooo hard to use. I was soooooooooo lost. I'm so much better off for it. I've been using Linux since the 90s and haven't ever stopped. I've run Slackware on laptops, desktops and servers for a lot of that time. I'm much lazier now and much more employed, so I use something with a native package management system that handles dependencies and laziness. When my home racks are online though, they're Slackware because it works, has always worked and will always work without any BS.
Patrick and team have done a great job for a long time and they deserve a lot of thanks for their work.
There are already services that will let you purchase goods through US companies and ship them internationally via a mail forwarder in Oregon, to avoid paying the sales tax. Depending on the jurisdiction, this could be a decent discount. What"s stopping a bunch of these companies from popping up? There's likely a lot of things where this would save money, as long as you don't care about shipping speed.
I'm not an activist about almost anything (privacy, I'm looking at you!) but this is a thing I can get behind. I've been on dives and collected trash. I do a dive every year specifically to collect trash. The ocean is a pretty amazing place and the amount of litter in certain places is depressing (not hyperbole). I picked up a variety pack of silicone and metal straws and we keep those in the car. I get weird looks and have to explain it a couple times that I don't want a straw but it's not really a big deal. If I'm seated at a place, I use my mouth hole.
Paper is great and biodegrades. Washing is simple too though. It's not like anyone proposing taking something away without an alternative (like bags). We can do a pretty good job with recycling paper products too, so we don't even have to slash a bunch of forests to get there. All in all, this should be a non story.
around the whole planet! We'll make space pay for it! And we're gonna tariff the hell our of Jupiter! And any Martians that dare try to sneak through our wall, asylum or not, will have their little baby critters put into a small box and shaken! Because America... errr... Earth!
Thank little baby cheesus for family values and fiscal conservatism.
I honestly wonder who these people are, who flit around from place to place, using their laptop 30 minutes at a time. Sip of battery here, sip of battery there. Oops! Battery almost out, I'll just take smaller sips. I don't use my laptop like that, and I don't think most people do.
I don't think most people take their laptops everywhere with them any more. There was a time in the 2000s where coffee shops were filled with people showing off their overpriced fruit machines but that seems to have passed. I'd prefer a desktop but companies buy laptops for... reasons that I don't quite understand. Probably because so many more of us work remotely and/or from home, that it's the only sane thing to do.
I honestly wonder who these people are, who flit around from place to place, using their laptop. Full stop. Who does that?
If the threat of imminent death due to nuclear war doesn't trigger your "things I care about" alarm, then you are a special kind of nerd. Maybe rephrasing of the headline would help:
"Trump Cancels Singapore Summit With North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un. Major ISPs In The USA At Risk Due To Nuclear Bombardment."
I've looked at Youtube Red once or twice but don't see it as valuable. It's not worth $0.01, let alone $2.00. I've been using Google Music since pre-launch and it works great. If it dies, I'll take my pennies elsewhere. My daily listening habits will never include the need for video. I guess I should finally start looking at other streaming services.
Like quick replies, there are people that will love this and there are the rest of us. It didn't take long for that toggle to appear. Hopefully the collective outcry will make this optional pretty quickly. I don't want my email to be "interaction."
You'd be sadly amazed by the number of companies that think flash is an acceptable avenue for building interactive web properties. I frequently see it with online classes. Think school lessons, driver's education after s ticket, HR training, "security" tutorials, etc. It's sad but there are so many "developers" that adopted it a long time ago that just aren't picking up HTML5.
I picked a phone for being waterproof, and I think all of those have non-removable batteries. Waterproof was more important to me than a removable battery.
Why should my choice be illegal because you don't like it? Are there no phones with removable batteries? I'm failing to see the issue here.
The Galaxy S5 has a user replaceable battery and has the same IP67 rating as the Pixel 2 and the iPhone 8. I just had to replace a screen on a Nexus 6 which has the back glued on and it has no IP rating. Your argument holds no water (pun intended).
Because rumors are not convictions and with no official reports, there was really nothing to do. Imagine a world where rumors were all that was needed to get you banned from a place. Disinformation campaigns would be so much more powerful. Keeping Draper on a short leash was an effective way of protecting everyone from him without playing judge, jury and executioner in the absence of actual accusations or evidence of wrongdoing.
The barrier to entry for using PKI is pretty high for your average human. Not only do you have to get people using the same (or compatible) tools but they have to understand the setup. I actually joined my current company because they had a product that solved that. (Shameless plug: virtru) The only way to get normal people using crypto is to make it trivial. You may have to make some small sacrifices to get there but the end result is a better place.
Came here to day this. My gut reaction is that this has nothing to do with Netflix and everything to do with losing subscribers. I dropped because of the new UI. It's not just a "change is bad" reaction either. If the new changes were mostly usable, I would adapt. I left because bad change is bad and I'll keep my couple of bucks and put it into an external antenna. The mohu does OK but now it's time to get serious.
That's why my appliances get to live on their own network segments, firewalled from everything else. I like some of these nifty features but I don't trust them to live near my systems.
Tell that to my refrigerator. Hotspots are buggy. Changes revert without reason. I got a firmware upgrade and everything choked. I ended up doing a factory reset on the built in tablet and starting over.
Not a Tizen problem but the fact that I can't use any of the accessory software on rooted Android devices. Really? I can't get a copy of the shopping list on my phone because I use LineageOS??
I wouldn't trust Samsung to build the OS core on a device I needed to be sane and/or stable.

I actually built a MITM appliance to do name based whitelists. You have a better approach? Not doing whitelists isn't an option for what we're doing.

And September of 2017 isn't "a couple years ago" either, so it reeks of bad info.
You realize that statement is speculative, right? Cite your conclusive sources.

And then it goes to the house and then the potato-in-chief and we're hoping it makes it all the way to the end, right? I wouldn't bet on success here.
Are we still doing that? I thought it all got moderated away and people gave up. Get off my lawn.
