On the reboot after I posted that, all my desktop icons were auto-arranged for me without my consent! I swear Microsoft is reading my posts and just fucking with me now.
Nobody who drives *EVER* tries to monitor the distance between their car and the one BEHIND them! It's your responsibility to monitor the distance to the car in front of you. This is why all the seats in an automobile face FORWARD. Duh!
Microsoft add/changes features too often in Windows 10. This has caused some really strange behavior on my Windows 10 machines. Some things it has done:
- I have specifically set my lock screen background image to "image 1". Sometimes when I boot my machine, the lock screen background has been changed to "image 2". Often, another reboot sets it back to "image 1". What's the point in having a setting if the system doesn't always honor it?
- When the Creator's Update was installed, I noticed that it looked like one of my desktop icons was missing. Upon further inspection, it just looked like some (but not all) of my desktop icons were moved around a little, and a gap left at the top.
- I have never joined any of my home machines to a Windows domain or workgroup, but on some reboots, there is an icon on my desktop called HOMEGROUP. It cannot be moved or deleted. Only stopping the "Homegroup Provider" service causes the icon to vanish, and then it stays away until some other random time.
Of course UFO's (Unidentified Flying Objects) exist! It has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt! However, there is absolutely no proof of Extra-Terrestrials piloting them.
Same for modern electronics. Some crazies think that aliens gave us transistor technology, or that it was harvested from a crashed UFO. However, you can clearly see that HUMAN researchers were working on that technology YEARS before the purported crash. Sorry, E.T. didn't make your iPhone. It's just plain old human ingenuity.
"If you can afford a $700 phone you probably won't blink at $80 for a battery replacement."
And what if you can't afford a $700 iPhone? Why, you buy a USED one at a significant savings. AppleCare won't cover a used phone that you bought from anyone other than Apple. A new battery in a used phone will give it so much life, it will feel like new. If apple doesn't like that, then there are plenty of Android phones for which we would be happy to replace the batteries...
"It's similar to buying a secondhand cellphone without it being restored to factory settings". Well, if that happens, it's not MY data that is at risk, but the data of the previous owner. I can easily reset it to factory defaults, and maybe flash the firmware.

Jeez! She's better off going to a psychic!
"Apple has confirmed that they will replace the battery if your iPhone 6 or later even if it passes a Genius Bar diagnostic test."
There are too many IF's in that sentence.
So your suggestion is to *SORT* the types of plastic so it can burn clean? Well, if you're sorting, why not just RECYCLE it?
Needs to go to the fair, and cut the fare.
Start spreading a rumor that Taxis are driven by brain-hungry zombies, and I guarantee you that more people will start taking the monorail.

"Next on 'How It's Made'..."
"News!"
I would assume that your company would have enough physical security to not just let any clown enter your data center...

Doubt doesn't scale good enough when 3D printed.

I heard about it from Steve Gibson on his Security Now podcast. His website has one (www.grc.com). It's not anything to look at, but it exists.

Unsurprisingly, looking for Keeper's security.txt generates a 404 - not found.
It's a shame when your customers are faster and more adept at scanning merchandise than your paid employees.
Nah, they will just install Firefox instead.
Hell, I stopped counting after the first 2 days! Now I don't believe a word he says. Especially if he follows it up with "Believe me"!

You know he is an Attorney, right? How do you think that will play out?
You think The Orville or Star Trek Discovery is the best TV show about working in Tech? Where the heck do you work?
So the suspect either:
1) didn't password protect his wallet
or
2) told the government his wallet password.
I think we all know whose fault this is.
"He has now installed firewalls and new antivirus software..."
So, he didn't even have a firewall BEFORE?!?!?! That's your problem right there.
Because Sci-Fi got it RIGHT!
