Bought two Samsung TVs with all these networked smart features... Over six months, I see on the screen announcements of discontinued features.... I unplugged my TVs from the wifi connection and only watched TV on them.
If I had spent only a few hundred dollars to buy bitcoins... I didn't even need to mine the damn coins, I would have been a millionaire right now LOL !!!
I've been in production management for 15 years... The first 5 years as a Sr. datacenter engineer. The next 7 years as a staff engineer and the past few years as a cloud architect. One thing that has NEVER changed is that developers are NOT allowed to touch production... and I mean not allowed to even log into any host at all...They don't even have a damn clue where the machines physically sit.
Allowing a junior developer fresh out of college to log into production with privilege that makes even a minor change is already in violation of industry protocols. I wouldn't blame the guy too hard. He's fresh out of college remember? The first person to blame is operations management who doesn't have a clear separation of duties protocol. Even if ops management allows him to log in, the next person to blame is the lead datacenter engineer who allows his account to issue intrusive commands.
If company leadership asks me to handle this fall out... I will fire those two guys first. Then the Jr. developer will get only a warning but that would be his only warning.
What you have is the opinion of a person having limited knowledged... You only looked at one single threat and decided what you asked is good for everyone. Obviously you haven't done any risk assessment.
In environments where hundreds/thousands of comptuers run to put together a massive operation, we don't do "automatic" updates... which gives MS the decision of when and what. Instead we evaluate the credibility of the patches even if it comes from its authentic provide MS. Why? Because unlike the patch that you mentioned, there were other patches that crashed thousands of servers worldwide... or upgraded the OS from Windows server 2003/2008 to Windows10 and render all of its applications useless because those apps are not compatible with Windows 10.
Even if a patch is credible and verified... we run it through test, then QA, then Staging, then Production in that order. So you see... just because MS provides a patch, doesn't mean you have to install it. MS is not the only provider here. There are other providers that issued patches which consequentially created disasters and we were left with fixing their problems.
For personal use computers, yeah sure it would be OK to have an abrupt patch that causes problems or do an upgrade without consent. For some that's still unacceptable since they rely on their machines to make a living.
'nough said... what you said is wrong. Let the experienced speak and you'll learn from them.
After WindowsRT for the Surface tablet, you'd think MS learns its lesson. Now they are doing the same stupid mistake again.. all the while having to spend money and time to create windows 10S.... that's just begging for trouble!
If the employee feels under-paid, he/she should find another job or find a way to get promoted. Other than that, if I find my employees doing side things on the hour I will fire them immediately without second chance.
The employment vs income is a fair agreement and is backed up by law. Nobody forces an employee to sign employment agreement. Usually its the employee that wants to sign a lot more badly than the employer. So if he doesn't think the agreement is fair, he shouldn't have signed it. Once he did, he's expected to work for that employer during business hours and nothing else.
Take your time! I have been through kernel 2.4x and 2.6x for many many years..... Then all the sudden 3.x came out followed by an aggressive update schedule... I don't really give a shit because no production environment will be willing to keep up with this kind of change. Frankly, I don't care if it goes back to the sleeping mode for several years like 2.x did.
Apple is one of the largest customers being hit...
Apple iCloud and iTunes services were intermittently going offline the whole morning yesterday. I had trouble viewing my TV episodes.
Mark is still a new boy in the gang... he's only been rich few years and doesn't know yet what it takes to sit on top.
He must have thought being rich gives him power and authority and when those don't abide to him will have to face him in court and the court will eventually rule him prevailed.
Hell... I dont know what it takes to sit on top either.. but those that have for decades like Gates, Buffet... they don't go pushing people around to get what they want... Mark was specifically stupid to mess with people who have lived on their lands for generations... They don't give a damn about the money that he pays... its the native's way of preserving their family heritage... If he screwed with that, he surely was going to earn the embarrassment that he just did.
I admire the extra miles that the CRP go to help theft victims... Unlike the irresponsible cops that we got in the US...
Recently my car was broken into, an iPhone stolen. I tracked it to tthe very location it was held and I called police but they took hours to call back only to tell me that I have to be at the iPhone location or they won't help. Well guess what? It took me 90 minutes to get through the first phone call to begin with.
Through another attempt, I got the police to meet me outside the house that had my phone. They told me that if the person holding the phone doesn't want to give it back, I have to turn around and walk away because the crime is not severe enough for them to declare that person under arrest. Since when breaking into a car no longer an important crime?
Phucking chinese.... from small cheese app developers to big corporations like Lenovo... they all steal personal data... yet they don't get banned from the US.
So the 40% claim is deceiving....
Let's be clear about this: Let's say for example last year there were 2 crashes and this year there was 1.... that doesn't mean it's a 50% drop... the percentage is only high because the number of total incidents is low.
Now if last year had 200 crashes and this year 100.... I will DEFINITELY believe it's a 50% drop....
Similar to how a product is newly rated... there are 2 ratings: 1x5stars and 1x1star.... this averages to 3 stars... that doesn't mean anything until there's more ratings.
Silent calls are quite minimal in terms of annoyance.... In my case, it was extremely invasive and rude and stupid too... Two types of calls:
1. I pick up and the other end says "Hey, can you hear me? [pause 1 sec].. Good! blah blah blah"... This wasn't a person asking me for a yes, then "Good, blah blah"... it was a recording with a 1sec pause.
2. I pick up and the other end yells "Stop what you're doing and listen"... first time I heard it, I said FU... but then realized it was a recording... so now I just simply hang up.... better yet... if I see out of state calls with unrecognized number, I simply don't answer.
The Telnet protocol was obsolete and insecure as of 20 years ago... They only now realize it? No wonder the company has beeing going in the wrong direction that investors want.
Now it would be stereotyping to direct the cheat intention at the Chinese... but the numerous occassions related to them is undeniable. First Lenovo, then other smaller fishes...
My propossal to this problem is: To ban the brands indefinitely from the US and to permanently bar all executives at those companies from entering the US. This way, they learn their lesson... corporations stealilng from consumers is a crime that should not go unpunished. Phucking cheaters!!!
If I provided my credit card to an account and made purchases with it... I will demand the reason for closing my account. That's a consumer right, a right that no provider is allowed to challenge... I dont give a damn about whatever policy Google has about "not discussing reason for closure". If they have such a policy, it's illegal and the stupid people that wrote the policy should not have a job for the rest of the life.
The guy that wrong this from NYTimes obviously did drugs before writing it. The company that I work for, having over 400K employees, actually condones employees to take breaks and share opinions on social media.
Although my Y! account hasn't been in use for years and that would pose zero threat to me... I still asked the same question when I heard about the breach.... Why would such a large corporation do such a stupid thing? Now that they've been able to keep it under secrecy for two years, why announce it now?
Did Marissa think enforcing the password change now will some how fix something? The hackers had two years to go through every single piece of data... It doesn't matter if they enforce a password change now... the only difference this makes is that the entire upper management and the board look so stupid that after Y! goes bankrupt, none of them will ever get a management job anywhere else!!!

It's like climbing out on a tree branch, then turn around sawing it off so that the only way to go is down.
