... by setting all the "dangerous" file associations to non-MS programs.
File extensions like.mht,.xls*,.doc*, even.csv..mht files have been known-dangerous for a decade now. Useless plus dangerous should be enough of a signal to the security conscious to have made them harmless by now.
... there are likely to be thousands of O365 accounts affected. It is rare that I don't see a half-dozen different organizations represented in "please look at this invoice" or "please review your payment" emails sent to our system accounts, each personalized for the company whose O365 accounts have been hijacked.
If one of our corporate clients had not switched over to O365 for their email services last year, I'd block anything coming from an outlook.com server, because it is rare that it is NOT a phishing email.
It's being studied, so you can check the results yourself. THC is starting to show up more often than alcohol in crash data, and has been for several years.
Impaired driving kills a lot of people. Over the last decade, chemical-impaired driving deaths have changed little, but the ratio of chemicals involved has changed.
Cannabis, which is becoming far more socially acceptable than it used to be, is replacing alcohol as a primary factor of impaired-driving crashes. The last traffic safety conference I attended had a break-out session on impairments, and cannabis is now involved in MORE crashes now than alcohol.
Originally had a 2-at-a-time disk subscription, in addition to the streaming. Basically, I'd rent the first few disks of a set, and decide whether it was worth buying or not.
But I dropped the disk subscription completely when I reached the point that every series I wanted to check was missing the first or second disk of the set. It's simpler to just buy what looks interesting when it pops up on sale at Walmart or Amazon (movies), or RightStuf (anime).
You are on an enterprise version of Windows, in which case it is the enterprise administrator that is given almost full control, not the user.
Oh, you are not an enterprise administrator controlling a vast network of PCs, but just a normal user? No, you haven't got control yet. And you may never have control.
>5 million years ago there was no land mass at the south pole. The land mass that is at the south pole now was around the tropics 5 million years ago. So yeah, it had trees and the temperatures were 20-30 C higher. Because it was in a completely different place.
That's only if you believe the people spouting off wild theories about "plate tectonics". Only kooks believe that Earth experienced change before man started dinking around with it.
Yes, but "all restaurants in the chain" selling IB's as a normal menu item for almost a year (with heavy promotion in-store) beats "59 restaurants in one city" as far as "testing".
If a player is certified BD-compliant, it will look for, and respect, Cinavia.
The rest of the world doesn't. So, if you rip a BD disk and play it in, say, Kodi or VLC, Cinavia doesn't matter. Play it on an Oppo player, though, and you may get a surprise.
... you could get security updates without getting "enhancements". Right after I fine-tuned my last Win10 installation to turn off all the things I did not want on the system, it updated and gave me more things to turn off. And I still don't know if the things that were actually broken were fixed.
With having to periodically tell it NOT to do the Fall update, I fixed the updater the way a lot of other people do... By installing Linux. Of course, I went from having an intermittent finger print scanner to a completely non-functional one, but that wasn't a big deal. At least now I can log in without being online.
If you're planning on getting something you use back, and are desperate enough to use a pawn shop to get money, you probably aren't thinking, "Hey, I should invest money I don't have right now in backup media so that I can wipe the contents of this machine I'm planning to get back after I get my paycheck next week."
If you wipe the drive properly, the machine becomes useless to you, even if you get it back.
Of course, if a thief is pawning it, they probably didn't think to wipe the contents. Heck, they may have been too stupid to, OR, while they were rummaging around their victim's house, discovered that stealing their identity wasn't a profitable idea...
"The Fruit Belt is a residential neighborhood in Buffalo, New York. It is located adjacent to the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
The Medical Campus was built in 2001, as as part of a planned "Strategic Investment Areas"... Which would explain a prominent label of "medical park" on a 1999 map, two years before then actual NAME of the development was announced.
Whenever people cheer that FB is blocking "bad things", that makes it more tempting to thing, "If it is allowed on FB, it must be good!"
If people cultivate the idea that FB is a source of "information" that may or may not be correct, they'll be a bit less likely to fall for the next "As Seen On FB" craze, be it medical, political, or religious.
I wonder if this new version will work on my Win7 machine, since it doesn't have cortana installed (TFA says that's one of the reasons for the update).
There is nothing in the update that aids in doing what I used to use skype for - multiple text conversations, and some voice calling. Cortana integration? When I still played with Win10 systems, that was one of the things I worked hard to block. HD video calls? I removed the camera from my computer because skype kept trying to turn it on, and I don't want to give up my limited bandwidth to an unwanted feature.
Our company is moving to Zoom. It isn't perfect. It hasn't even reached the level of imperfection that skype v7 had. It's also trying to map the desktop interface into looking like it's running on a phone.
But, it's easier to set up a conference call without having to worry if the other people are on "skype" or "skype for business".
If the link matches this REGEX, it's almost certainly for a compromised site:/\/wp-(includes|content)\/(images|uploads?|themes|plugins|cache)\//
Whatever claims and advances WordPress makes in the realm of security, it is FAR too easy for people to configure it a way to store malware, and redirections to same. Any "deep linking" to one suspicious at best.
Of course, if a link uses a "shortened URL", its probability of legitimacy is rather low, too.

Most of us would want to make sure it disables all the user-tracking stuff.
Of course, a lot of the settings I saw can only be set if you have the Enterprise version of Windows, so home and pro users are stuck...

To save $20 on a Kindle, you agree to allow them to put an advertisement on the screen when the Kindle is idle.
I gave them the extra $20.
not to update IOS, once they make AppleTV part of it.
I just wish I could disable the "pending update" notifications.

then there are a lot of people who never get them, to make up for how many I get. For me, it's one real call for every 20 or so robocalls.
Got a comical one last week - deep male voice, saying, "Hi, this is Barbara with the Visa/Mastercard Alert system..."

It's a more immediate threat.
Oh, and protest storm surges.
On the bright side, they're skipping classes that don't teach them much.
Now, if they were striking by NOT using their phones and other things that use electricity generated from non-renewable sources...
It's easy - look for the idiot on the display, and you'll have it nailed!
There's no longer a lab in your local Lenscrafters - so "about an hour" is now "within 2 weeks". Actual turn-around is about 3 business days.
So Zenni's delay doesn't seem so bad anymore.
Islamic State isn't a legal charity in the US, so it wouldn't qualify on that basis.
... it kind of defeats the "charity of your choice" nature of the program. "Your choice of the charities we approve of" isn't what they advertise.
