"Changing ASR ownership is an easy process by applying online for an FCC Registration Number (FRN) which is instantly granted whether the factual or inaccurate information is provided. Then, once logged in, an FRN holder can submit a form stating that they are the new owner of any or multiple structures in the database. As soon as it is submitted, the change is immediately reflected in the ASR."
That is a breathtakingly bad process. Epic, in fact.
Thousands of security analysts around the country are feeling light-headed right now and are looking for a place to lay down. Thousands of others are reaching for aspirin to to try damp down the near-fatal brain cramp they got when they read this magnificent example of sheer bureaucratic stupidity.
Unless I'm misunderstanding the article, it sounds like they want people to split their monolithic applications into smaller components that "just do one thing".
Yes, and if it's done properly it's pretty damn slick. And a lot of companies aren't just trying it, they're driving it. They're leveraging other services and supplementing it with their own stuff, and in places where it's done right it shines.
The whole-abstracted "run your services and stuff in the cloud" thing will eventually be the norm, Cloud services like Azure and Amazon Web Services are basically exploding right now as they find that there are tons of advantages to it.
Even though I've turned my nose up at the whole "cloud cloud cloud" thing in the past, I'm seeing it used firsthand right now. I'm doing a contract for a healthcare services processing company (who has to meet HIPAA and PCI requirements, BTW) and all their stuff is in the cloud. All. Of. It.
Everything is done via headless servers and AWS Lambda calls customized Kubenetes containers, etc etc etc, and the only PCs they use are on their desks so they have a place to write the reams of python code that makes the whole thing go. And it does go, I gotta admit.
They save a ton of money and don't have to fiddle with any heavy hardware on the back end. They also benefit from the massive, massive AWS infrastructure that's available. (Azure is probably similar in that respect.)
Like it or not, it's the future. Heavy-weight computing power (including the infrastructure to support it) has become a commodity for all intents and purposes.
Even stupider is Firefox "policy" which now *refuses* to load Google's page because it claims the "domain certificate is misconfigured". You can't add an exception, period. In other words, there is NO WAY to browse Google with Firefox now.
Now I may be wrong, but I think those dudes at Google know a thing or two about web stuff, so I guess using Firefox for my day-to-day stuff is now a no-go. Brilliant, Firefox, just fucking brilliant.
And - remember, you cannot keep brown people down forever!
LOL!! Is that the best you can do?:)
Nice try, pal, but no one here is buying your bullshit. Thanks for playing, better luck next time! Now go put on your MAGA hat and kiss the Trump poster over your bed.
Yes, it's bullshit. But even bullshit must be allowed to be said. Even the worst kind of it.
I agree.
I probably wasn't clear enough in my original post, but I didn't say remove it, I said "flag" it, i.e. put a prominent "This May Be Bullshit" banner at the top or something along those lines. I'm not advocating for removing that kind of drivel but I do think that flagging it as potential horsecrap or pseudoscience would be in order.
I'd be happy if they flagged all the shit like the flat-earth videos, the "spirit science" bullshit, and all the rest of the mystical anti-science garbage that pollutes Youtube like a punchbowl full of turds.
Unless you're talking about something like the support cables for the Golden Gate Bridge, I've never seen a cable that couldn't be defeated by a decent pair of bolt cutters.
It's a laptop. The number of people who actually upgrade their laptops or open them up can be measured in parts per million.
That's certainly true, but at the same time I don't think the inability to upgrade is what's pissing people off about this kind of locked-down assembly technique.
I think the criticism for this kind of thing is that it prevents 3rd-party repair shops from doing anything with it. It basically elevates Microsoft to the only entity capable of repairing the device if (when) it fails.
Then you probably shouldn't carelessly toss terms like that around. It speaks more to your outlook on the world than the person they're directed at.

I wouldn't be a firefighter if I thought that.
So you claim.

One of the reason why I fled the blue state where I lived for a decade was the attitude THERE that people were disposable commodities.
So you went from a "maker" state to a "taker" state, and you're touting that as some kind of personal indicator of pride? Lol, hypocrite much?
-
I will never willingly live in a "blue" community again, as people there mostly wouldn't help someone bleeding on the street.
I've lived in both red and blue states and what I've found in general is that people are people wherever you go. I will say that the blue states seem to be more willing to help those in need and less concerned with ethnicity and how people live their lives. And there seem to be a shitload fewer racists too.

I'd rather live in America, thanks, where people DO care about each other.
Oh please stop with your "but muh freedomz" trope. It's a crashing bore, and whatever trailer-park red state you're living in probably wouldn't even have roads and water if not for all the money you fake patriots shamelessly suck from the blue states. Think I'm kidding? See for yourself:
If all those numbers and charts are too complex for you, the takeaway is that:
Blue states subsidize red states in nearly ever single instance. Blue states are less dependent on the Federal government than red states in almost every case. Blue states contribute far more to the government than red states in nearly every instance. Blue states have a higher standard of living than red states. Blue states receive less assistance (food stamps, TANF, etc) from the government than red states.
Feel free to live in your fact-free Freedom Compound while you bleat about the gubmint, and remember that when you and your parasitic pals are out buying new wheels for your house.
Well you can move data on external drives, but now your security is open to viruses so...
Plus it sort of negates the utility of email itself.
Truly sometimes all we have are bad choices, and we just have to pick the least-worst one that we can.
Frankly my life is so drama-free and law abiding that I'd be downright flattered if anyone wanted to root around in my emails. It'd be like taking Ambien in a text format.
And living in a kumbaya world for you, where people are disposable commodities, is even sadder.
Maybe you should look into Abilify or Zyprexa to treat your delusional episodes. I also recommend you get a copy of "How Not To Be An Asshole" ($6.99 paperback) and get someone to read it to you.
It's really fascinating that you would come up with something like "people are disposable commodities", as that says a lot more about you and your state of mind than it does about me. It also shows how little you know about, well, everything.
People are REALLY going to hate this, but there is no 100% secure network service.
For once, Binary Bro is correct. (Statistically it had to happen sooner or later.)
But it's true: there is no 100% secure network service, no matter whether you use an established provider like GMail or run your own private domain mail service.
Since I've never seen a so-called liberal who isn't a dick
Aaaaaaaaaaand that's where you reveal your constricted little ideology and worldview, lol.
Living in your head must be like looking out the gun-slit of a tank. No shades of gray for you and whatever is in front of you is all there is and all there will ever be. SAD!

It's impossible to even guess why a criminal would want $12 million worth of Towers and antenna equipment.
To sell it on eBay, of course!

I wouldn't kill them, I'd probably just wing 'em.

Yeah, but they saved $9.99 by not renewing the domain so it was a huge win for Samsung.
So, a computer can play a perfect game against....a computer. Yawn.
I'd be more surprised if it couldn't.

Yeah, I think it's too late to worry about damaging your brain.
Ask your doctor if "not being a dick" is right for you.
