Hook up some magnets to a dead grammar nazi and wind some copper wire around his coffin and you have an incredible source of cheap electricity with that post.
If you say I'm a bot/paid CIA/FSB/China shill, you are obviously a bot/paid shill. Ahh internet, where discussion is the equivalent of playing water polo in a septic tank.
Size =/= inches. Do you think your size 12 shoes are exactly 12 inches long? The actual shoe size varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, but what you really care about is if they fit your feet and guess what - they probably do.
What the fuck does a single video clip have to do with standardization? Nothing. I've taken standardized tests before. Like the USMLE. Guess what. There is more than one question and the questions are designed in such a way that just memorizing stuff will pretty much guarantee failure. But of course a lot of time goes into question design. Playing a single video clip and attaching an oscilloscope to a TV is a really lazy way to do things.
If you're making a test, you expect cheating. Why? Because if everyone was honest you wouldn't need a test in the first place, you could just tell manufacturers to comply and expect them to do it. Therefore if you're designing a test to ensure compliance, you need to design it to catch cheaters not encourage them.
Welcome to globalization. Samsung is a global company. Shareholders are all over the world, so it's not really a "Korean" company anymore although it started there. It buys supplies all over the world. And it manufactures all over the world. It has factories in Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Germany, among other places. So go ahead and stop "imports" from Hungary to France, for example. Oh wait you can't. Common market. Heck, they can't even stop AK-47's from being smuggled from Turkey to Eastern Europe and then to Paris. That's what happens when you get rid of your borders. You lose control. The EU's only option is fines, after lengthy court cases and appeals. Samsung can afford it. Can the EU?
When you give everyone the exact same test over and over again don't complain when people learn the answer. Yes the test sucks. It's the lazy way to do it.
So here's a funny story. Your database gets encrypted. You don't have a backup so you pay a ransom. IF the bad guy is nice, you get a key to decrypt your database again. Since you don't have any sort of backup to compare it to.... how the fuck do you know they haven't inserted/deleted/modified anything in there as well? You don't until things start happening. Even better, the bad guys know that you don't, because you were dumb enough to tell them by paying the ransom. Welcome to phase 2 of your security nightmare. You are now their bitch.
Storing thousands (if not many many more) of VM backups for customers for free is "low cost"?
If you wrote out the contract properly then you made sure that user backups are the user's responsibility, in which case you don't have to pay a single penny ransom because you don't owe anyone anything. Well you could be nice and take snapshots once a week or something and if users complain you point to the appropriate clause in the contract. There is NO excuse. None. You're trying to justify idiocy. Don't. It just makes you look bad too.
pay the ransom demand in three installments, due to the company's inability to produce such a large amount of cash in a short period of time.
Any company stupid enough that they have to pay ransom in the hope of getting their data back (there's a good chance they won't) deserve to go broke. BACKUPS. CONTINGENCY PLANS. Yeah it takes time and money but it's a lot fucking cheaper than sending random criminals millions of dollars and then listening to the sound of them laughing at you when they simply disappear with the money.
We're so environmentally friendly! Now quick, throw out your year old iPhone 7 because YOU MUST buy the iPhone 8! It's almost exactly the same, but it's
the latest model! You don't want to be seen at Starbucks with a phone that's over a YEAR OLD do you?
Here is my original post, copied verbatim. Please enlighten me as to where exactly I said I ever had an iPhone? I know there's left brain vs right brain. Please try to use at least one side or the other.

but as an industry it's time that we think about why they are wrong rather than merely blaming them for their problems.
No. As an industry you have to think about a company like Microsoft who willfully waited over a DECADE to patch a KNOWN vulnerability which it was TOLD about a long time ago, but CHOSE to ignore - cos, security by obscurity at best, or intentional back door at worst. This should not be about "the patch has been out 2 months why haven't people patched" it should be about "Why did Microsoft wait until news of the vulnerability leaked before bothering to issue a patch".

You're confusing the FAA with the FCC.
Since when does the FAA regulate space?

No known ransomware is running on my Windows 7 system either.

Pay in CASH? What are you, some sort of fucking drug dealer? Sarcasm, but this is the way we're headed apparently.
If you spend a month in Europe and eat at McDonald's you're doing it wrong.

Wait till the man finds out that half is only half of what she's going to take.
What is it with people on this site over and over again underestimating the power of EU?
That powerful EU is still waiting for Microsoft to pay them 300 million euro from 10 years ago...

Samsung factories are already in Europe. How do you plan on banning "imports" when they produce inside your country?
they had the access to do so without drawing attention to their presence by demanding a ransom...
That doesn't put money in your pocket like a ransom does.
You mean like a company that just paid out a hefty ransom might be tempted to take in some free "advertising" cash?

It was either that or Russia or Iran. Of course let's not mention the decade old "zero day" that makes WannaCry possible...

Food safety has no ROI either, said the owner of the bankrupt restaurant.
I have a Nokia 3310 you insensitive clod. It's something called a "joke".
