Its called outsourcing to the public. Rather than spend money verifying all your accounts are accurate, get the people to verify the data themselves. Next step is to get governments to verify data fpr the intelligence agencies!
Depends on how precise the time stamp was, minutes, seconds, milliseconds, nanoseconds. Also depends on how frequently you or an indentity thief was using your credit til it was frozen.
Unless it was actually a statement listed in your credit report,...
Uhm, good luck with that. I's suspect most of our front end sales reps don't even know who we use for background credit checks.
Its a stacked system, third party, third party, third party. Probably means we use more than one of the big three.
Proprietary software support is not a monopoly. Upgrades and bug fixes at the extreme end of the support spectrum are, but general day to day use is far from a monopoly.
No, I'm not contributing to the Samba group. I don't get paid much, and most of my money has to go to bills, current or future (upkeep). Besides, where does the Samba group make a commitment to the more business useful functions of Active Directory, such as GPOs, centralized user permissions management, and Certificate management, in addition to the basic directory services?
Finally, where did I make a case for Open Source? For business purposes, Open Source is not adequate. At the low end of the spectrum there isn't enough knowledge in the public to deploy a solution without a professional IT consultant, and at the high end their isn't enough regulatory compliance support in the Open Source toolkits.
That I'm trusting a blind assumption that my phone has not been infected. Especially considering the flaws in the OS which have been discovered thus far. Such as that blank tab loading exploit which Microsoft refuses to fix in Edge
Well, I'm more inclined to assume, that no, there beef against a software product is not legit.
I'm suspicious of all anti-Russian claims from anybody in yhe U.S. Working in I.T. I tend to view a disproportionate number of people as idiots.
On mobile, meaning Safari on iOS, it seems to require a double swipe to nagivate the page. The navigation links, which merge the text on the page resulting in Chinese like letters, don't work.
Uhm?
I thin snaps work better when your libraries for each app require different version.
I've seen this most apparent in packages from outside repositories which don't get maintained with the distro itself, and with WINE, where general compatibility may improve, but individual titles break.
If you're advanced enough, tab completion is close enough. Just got to remember the first letter of the filename, and its path. along with the first two letters of the application to open it.
Admittedly, there are some circumstances where tab completion isn't enough, and your forced to grep this or cat that. Fuzzy search is probably an improvement in that regard. Its just not a revolutionary leap forward for *nix.
To LTE, or not to LTE, that is the question.
It is kind of a new distribution right? So early adopters wouldn't want to be stuck with older packages. Especially since it doesn't seem they have a full solution right out of the gate. Take the feedback from a few months, or year, and push that into the next distribution. If the user base goes up, and the complaints go down, move to the LTE to focus on increasing snap packages. Then move back to syncing with the Ubuntu release cycle, once it has acheived significant popularity.
On the subject of KDE, I think with KDE 5 find they finally have a version of KDE 5 worth using.
Virtualization adds bloat, but the bloat is minimal, and so are the bugs.
Virtualization of one or two machines is relatively useless. However, virtualization of a fleet of servers, allowing installed software to be isolated in separate environments, but housed on a much smaller set of hardware, combined with High Availability features to ensure the VMs never go down, buys a significant amount of reliability in infrastructure.
Typically the over 50 crowd, or otherwise less savvy users who don't get any info from the internet. And/or those who prefer to do business with checks, and want more than a basic anti-virus with ads or nags for the premium stuff.
Using Heuristics and a few other techniques, they do try to find malware on their own. An individual application is just not as accurate nor as effective as their corporate team dedicated to the same
task.
Okay then. Kaspersky is off my list of recommended anti-virus applications.
Guess that doesn't leave anything at the retail level. I've taken AVG off that list since they've switched to this "AI" which wiped out several 32-bit Windows 7 PCs, on top of their PC optimization nonsense. Never recommend Avast nor McAfee. Avast had a convoluted email registration system, got tired of having to install it for clients. If they implement that "feature" into Avast's AVG, that would be one less reason to use it.
Not quite. My family bought an off the shelf retail box of Mandrake Linux 7, an RPM distro running Gnome 1.x, and KDE 2.x. I suspect Red Hat is likely still available in some retail locations.
Not muchc of a market for Linux I suspect. Open Source doesn't point to a returning customer, especially now with the package repositories.
For many uses, proprietary software offers more robust support.
To be quite honest, I've rarely ever inspected the code of an open source application. It would take time to figure out what each segment of code is even for, and then time to familiarize myself with the code to evendetect if something was unnecessary or suspect. I'd then need to evaluate that code further, to understand how it actually affects the application.
Open Source is incredible to learn with, but even Open Source was vulnerable to its own Samba exploit around the time of SambaCry. Also, Open Source pales in comparison to the old Active Directory for controlling infrastructure.
I haven't gotten an infection in years. I use NoScript in Firefox, and generally stick to trusted websites these days. I still wouldn't run a modern internet connected operating system without an AntiVirus. The lack of an antivirus on iOS is a concern.

+1 Funny! I'm sure the commenter was referring to LTS, I just repeated his mistake without thinking.
*With KDE 5, they finally have a version of KDE 4 worth using. Plasma vs whatever the old KDE 1/2/3.x was built around.

This really needs to be upvoted. Savvy home users can likely avoid getting a virus altogether. Business users have to be more than a little savvy.

That's the new and improved recipe!
Is it really that bad? I just figure that nothing has changed, other than the propaganda.
I haven't gotten an infection in years. I use NoScript in Firefox, and generally stick to trusted websites these days. I still wouldn't run a modern internet connected operating system without an AntiVirus. The lack of an antivirus on iOS is a concern.
No, but this ain't my product. Just one I'm interested in purchasing. Is there no market for Kaspersky in the USA? Am I a rare customer?
