Doctor Who is for dolts who can't read and can't follow complex plot lines. I will not miss it if it ceases to exist right this instant. But... if it WAS a show I followed I'd probably be a little concerned that I can't legally view it on my current subscription.
But see, you fall into the trap of blaming netflix for the retarded licensing laws they are HELD TO. Doctor who is a prime example of why there's a massive problem. Why can't that IP be provided to all of the competitors?
Because people are dumb, and would actually go subscribe to that new service for that 1 show, so it makes the producers more money, they can start a bidding war. Who benefits? They do. Who loses? we do, and all of the other streaming services do.
But it gets better, if we did have a 1 stop shop for this stuff, the very same people you be bitching and moaning about a monopoly.
You simply can't win under our current copyright and license agreements. Jesus just last year I witnessed a show get released to netflix.ca, spammed to me via netflix and email, then it was pulled because the US netflix was supposed to have it for 2 days before it showed up on the canadian one.
That's the fucking insanity they, and we, are up against. No single company can do this, and now that you can spin up an entire datacenter in 4 hours on various platforms like azure and AWS, every content owner has the ability to start their own streaming service. And they are. Remember when you could watch snl clips on youtube? exactly
That's interesting, some of the content you say they removed is available, right fucking now, on the canadian netflix.
Anyhoo, it's not really netflix who is at fault for the lack of content, you can thank the insane copyright and licensing laws, and only those laws. I'm still paying, and I'm getting my 9.99$ worth every single month. The content not available to me via netflix legally can always be obtained elsewhere.
It really depends on how you consume media, netflix doesn't fit everyone.
And after reading the rest of your comment I do have to ask, in all seriousness, where the fuck do you live? Netflix has a shit load of ways to find movies, including "popular" "trending" and any other way you can describe a movie "exciting movies" "old movies" so honestly, i'm at a loss to figure out what the fuck service you actually have, cause it doesn't sound like netflix.
It sounds like popcorn time.
I don't recall saying I trust them. I trust our ability to monitor and control our network traffic.
But again, to each their own, Trend Micro is installed by many idiots. There's always forefront too, but good luck actually maintaining a large base of machines running that.
Fair question, I really don't know. When I noticed that I assumed I'd come over here and see a bunch of mod points on that post, but there aren't. So your guess is as good as mine.
It's not the worst edit or summary addition you'll see on/.
If you thought you even had a chance of getting in, you'd already have ALL the information you'd need. I'm willing to confirm it, but not reveal it, I think that's a pretty fair deal.
But not to an anonymous coward.
It's trivial to monitor and control the NETWORK activities of the application in question, any administrator would not only know this, they would agree. So to be clear, again...
Our Kaspersky implementation doesn't do anything on our NETWORK that we aren't aware of and actively allowing. This isn't to say the endpoint protection client isn't doing something nefarious, it could be. It isn't, but sure, it could be.
The concern, at least here, is infiltration and data ex-filtration. None of which will be taking place via Kaspersky on our network.
Understand now?
That's not the same thing as denying CountryA from accessing the internet. The internet, because of routing, can continue on just fine, but we totally have the power to block or restrict regions from this network, without destroying the network.
Yes, you can knock countries and regions off the internet. But you really can't do it without collateral damage. It depends 100% on the infrastructure supporting their access. You want to knock europe off? Cut the link cables. You want to knock Iran off? Take out their links.
It will never be 100% effective but you can do it to some extent.
the internet isn't some magical fog, it requires hardware, be that radio towers, access points, or plain old cables. That infrastructure can be taken out. The issue is, by design, the internet can survive that.
But you totally can remove a country from the internet for the most part.
Kaspersky is actually a world leader here. Many of the CVEs and fixes you've read about, you can thank Kaspersky Labs for that.
Trust no one, that's the only advice that matters
Yes but that's a half assed battle against kids with slingshots. We're in a battle against state sponsored agents, and indeed, governments and intelligence agencies actively circumventing our protections.... to protect us.
It's not the same battle, and I'd go as far as to say this one is a hell of a lot worse than what we dealt with back then. But yeah, I recall having to pull some shenanigans to grab all of the updates for offline installation. This was before WSUS existed, or at least I never heard of it.
Because we run it where I work and have a pretty solid network team. We understand 100% of what it's doing. I'm not suggesting anyone install security center and the av client and just assume it's awesome.
We actually know what we're doing, if Kaspersky was able to slip through our monitoring AND Qradar, then I'd buy them a beer. And as such, it doesn't matter if it has back doors, we have it locked down tight.
Yes, they are Russian. Yes it's a fucking solid, quality, AV solution for enterprise. In fact, there's a shit load of functionality there that most people wouldn't expect from an AV solution.
So yeah, when one of the world leaders in the industry says that, he's not talking out of his ass.
The point not stated, at least in the summary, is the fact that we're in the dark ages BY DESIGN. We've allowed the alphabet agencies (not google you dolt) to compromise our security, at every level, including hardware.
That which doesn't have an exploit at shipping, gets intercepted and modified in transit. The encryption algorithms we've been using were compromised at such a level it took this long to see it. TLS, SSL, sha. all compromised at the core. Jesus we can't even trust random number generators. We can't trust encryption based on primes as it's proven these can be broken if you have the hardware (they do) and the time (they do).
Nothing short of a do over can fix this. The infrastructure is compromised, the undersea trunks are tapped, they can even decipher passwords and information from an AIR GAPPED COMPUTER. Seriously.
I can't see a way out of this. Encryption for all!!!!! FBI much? Encryption is a joke when they've helped build the encryption system. We hae been pwnd from day 1.
Lets just go ahead right now and say "NO". A country so overpopulated that they have mobile killing vans and single child policies shall not start cloning humans.
As such, I'm about done with clickbait... oh I meant to say slashdot.
hmm, how about fuck your shitty internet. Ps4 offers rest mode, and it's the fucking SHIT, updates and all that bullshit download at night, while it's charging your remote.
I have had to wait for updates approximately ZERO times with ps4.
So, fuck you, because you clearly aren't even a sony customer, complaining about shit that doesn't exist or affect you.
Removed functionality? oh. yes, i forgot, the 1 revision of ps3 that was able to install linux. Yup, they sure as hell removed that feature. No wait, that's not accurate at all, only an asshat would say that. YOU REMOVED THAT FUNCTION, you had the choice, install another OS (yellowdog linux) OR keep your ps3 updated to play games.
You can't do both, and you never used that feature, only the US army did. No one else did because it was fucking POINTLESS to run linux on a ps3 without full memory or GPU access. But you and I know why you would mention that, because you thought it was a backdoor to pirate ps3 games. It wasn't.
So yeah, other than that, I agree, consoles mostly suck. But not for your invented reasons.
if you are honestly suggesting people go on the internet, with any browser, without blocking scripts and ads via an extension, i'm going to assume the developing you do is mostly adware and malware.
Well in perspective, Sony didn't announce they were doing it, it was discovered. And on the whole, it opened some security holes up but unless you went looking, it didn't interfere with your computer at all.
MPAA paying people to DOS is something altogether different, and illegal now.
Actually ISPs need to retain those logs for years for various reasons other than copyright. IF they are released to groups like this is a grey area, but the fact remains, providers keep logs for a very long time, and very long time indeed.
It has nothing to do with the lease time, it's a completely automated system. There will be a database, likely MSSQL or straight SQL containing YEARS of records, MAC to IP and the dates.
Installing a fucking piece of malware you fucking twits, you've literally reinvented cryptolock trojans, Slow clap for you.
Not only is this not feasible (you'd have to bribe EVERY security researcher and pay to get whitelisted on EVERY AV site) unless you work a deal with the browser creators. And hey, I don't know about anyone else, but I certainly don't pay for a fucking browser, so there's no benefit from them adopting this unless having a lower userbase is something they are interested in.
Here's a fucking CRAZY idea. Give us the content we want the way we want at a reasonable price. I'm 100% confident that would work, and be cheaper than whatever asshat ideas your NON ENGINEERS can dream up after a long night of doing whippits.
(a) Oculus (re)defined "physical goods" (i.e. the headset) as "Services".
No, they clearly state that the physical goods, software, applications, platform and content are collectively know as "services".
They are providing you a service, a VR experience. This service is made up of hardware and software. You can, and should, argue apple is doing the same thing with iPhones and iPads, they are selling you an Apple service. That service requires some hardware and software components to work
Yes. Sony might have really launched that initiative but I believe it was after the PSN hack, they offered everyone a pathetic little "we're sorry" gift, and acceptance of that meant you waived your right, forever, to take them to trial. It's now in their ELUA.
open wifi could use encryption, it's merely a matter of key exchanges. Typically this is done by connecting to the open, unsecure, AP first and pull down the certificate for the encrypted network, then you either get redirected to that network, or manually connect.
Because of something magical. WIFI blocking building material and paint. No, this isn't a joke, yes you can buy the paint right now. It blocks wifi signals, so they can't get in (clean room) and they can't get out (secure).
I know of approximately zero people and zero enterprises actually using this, but the technology is there. And I'd be willing to use it in my home for a few reasons.
1) to block my annoying neighbors from even ATTEMPTING to get into my network.
2) to create interference free rooms, where my signal is not fighting your signals and channels.
A cafe could, for instance, use this and for the most part stop you from accessing the AP from outside. It's not going to be 100%, you aren't painting your windows of course, but it will degrade the signal enough to make it a pain in the ass to try to leech it.

Deter criminals? You mean like how the death penalty has stopped anyone from ever murdering again? oh wait.......
I guess I'm a time traveler as all of my Galaxy devices have had a voice activation feature to use the phone with voice commands.
