"Cloud based" password managers (like LastPass) use client side encryption, so even if they get hacked, your passwords are still safe.
Here's the right way to do it. Use a password manager like LastPass, couple that with physical 2FA yubikey and require that both master password and yubikey be present everytime you unlock your computer.
Aren't Windows people getting tired of constantly babysitting their OS? One of my computers is a dedicated gaming box, and yes, running Windows. I'm constantly upgrading packages and rebooting. Sometimes it just feels slow and and rebooting seems to fix it for whatever voodoo reason. And what's the crap with having to re-install one per year? If I don't re-install everything, the system gets slower and slower until I'm pulling my hair out. And then when I re-install, it's like I have a new fast system. I've been running a gnome desktop since the 90s as my dedicated desktop and never had that issue.
But, we're almost there. And what I mean by that is more and more popular games are coming out for linux via steam these days. It won't be long until Windows is no longer needed and I can finally kick it to the curb.
that puts our arms constantly in the air, swiping at things and moving things around. If you've ever actually done this, you will quickly learn that after 5-10 minutes, your arms become uncomfortably tired.
It's clear that you don't know what OLED is. I just bought an LG OLED 65 inch two weeks ago and it's the most amazing thing I've ever seen. The colors are incredibly bright. The contrast ratio is infinity because black means that the pixel is actually turned off. If the whole screen goes black for a moment while watching a movie, it's like the TV is turned off. Watching space movies at night with all the lights off is a jaw dropping experience. I just watched Prometheus again in 3D at night with all the lights off. It's a whole new experience. This is hands down the best TV I've ever seen or had.
Granted there's not much 4k content, but you can get quite a bit currently on Netflix. I'm currently re-watching all of Breaking Bad at 4k, 7.1 surround. I hightly recommend the OLED experience.
Clinton has made it very clear that she is interested in a new cold war with Russia. She goes out of her way to continually strain relations with them. If I were Putin, I wouldn't want her as president, either.
>>And you know what? LG's blacks are just mind boggling,
That's because showing black just means the pixel is off. I just purchased a LG OLED, and I'm constantly picking my jaw up off the floor. If a movie ever fades to black, it's like my TV is turned off. Crazy.
I see Google "podcars" on my way home from work everyday. I drive on Central Expressway between Palo Alto and Santa Clara. These podcars are slow as shit, typically doing about 20mph in a 50 and holding up lots of traffic. They are over cautious and have their safety thresholds dialed way too high, as I've had numerous occasions to "play" with it by invading its personal space; good fun by the way, highly recommended.
From what I've seen with Google podcars, we're a long way off from having these all over. And I mean a loooong way off.
The knowledge gap between windows and linux users is quite large. To answer your question if a linux shell is more secure than windows powershell, it isn't, at least, not at face value. However, the fact that linux users are more likely to take care about what they're running than windows users, this makes all the difference.
more and more data thefts are occurring. These out-sourced outfits taking over entire IT departments are largely maintainers, not designers. They have no chance of keeping up with today's hackers.
Secondary DNS would not have helped here. The issue with DNS is that it's a centralizing service. As the world moves more towards a decentralized, distributed Internet, the first piece that moves in that direction should be DNS.
It could be done right now using a similar blockchain to the one bitcoin uses. In fact, you could also tie in SSL into the platform, to prevent centralizing services like Verasign from being a weak point. The design is already in my head - just need to build it. Anyone have some free time?

Here's an actual letter sent to my company when we we're attacked earlier this year. By the way, they didn't breach us in any way, shape or form. They just hit us with traffic. The letter makes it sound like they had more, but nope, they didn't have shit.
Hello Support,
We are a team of highly skilled independent security consultants. One of your competitors hired us to take your site offline for an entire month (which we have the resources to do but don't like the contact and might be able to work together instead) and I must say that we have seen ALOT of miss-configured sites with security issues but it took our DB expert less then 30 minutes to dump your sql database without setting off your IDS system.
We want to disclose some of the flaws we found with you and have already put a significant amount of time in researching, exploiting and then documenting the vulnerabilities we found. Unfortunately, most site owners don't give a shit and would rather wait for more malicious hackers to come along. We are going to stop that from happening.
We are taking your site offline until we here from you. Our initial consultation will cost 1 BTC. That price will go up half a btc for every 12 hours we have to keep your site offline. I want to personally assure you that we have the power to keep your site down for an indefinite amount of time. We are the ones who took down xbox live all week (testing ONE of our new servers). In addition to letting your site up and giving you a report of what we found and how to fix it we will also let you know the ONLY way to stop a DDos attack the size we are capable of launching. We will also add you to a blacklist so no one else fucks with you.
The BTC can be sent to the following address :
I know that you are going to try to mitigate but in the end that is only going to cost you a lot more money. You make enough from betting and advertising alone that just an hour of downtime wont justify the cost. Our team also understands that you will try to mitigate but nothing will stop the attack except my command. Your hosting provider will not be able to help, the authorities wont be able to help you, your firewall is easily bypassed and any ddos service you try to bring in we can bring down (we have done this for a long time). believe it or not we are not the masked assholes stealing credit card numbers. Most of us have families and can't find legitimate jobs in our fields right now and have families to feed.
and see google bubble cars and lexus wagon vehicles from google everyday. i drive between palo alto and santa clara on central everyday and that's where they're testing these things. i'm always tempted to get close to one to see how it reacts. i'm sure the safety measures are dialed up pretty high.
While I did try it on a raspberry pi, I found it was just too slow. Get an old laptop with HDMI out. Wire it up to your file server and you're ready to rock. I've looked at getting a remote, but I opted instead for a backlit wireless keyboard (with a touchpad on it). https://www.amazon.com/gp/prod...
Also, if you have those Phillips Hue lights, you can easily get Kodi talking with it; mood lighting with certain kinds of movies is truly amazing.

What you need is plausible deniability. Load up a thumb drive with a bunch of junk, but also create a hidden, encrypted partition.

>> For example, nobody gives a shit where you smoke, and hardly any concern about how you drive, where you park, etc.
where you spit, where you piss, etc. no thanks.
is like going from bad to worse. No thanks.
>>Sorry mage, the H-1B doesn't do nearly as much DPS as you, but he'll do it for dirt cheap, and we don't have to pay him benefits.
As long as they don't have to design anything, you should be good to go.

> If the primaries were at Dyn, and the secondaries were not at Dyn, none of the sites would have experienced any downtime.
Until Dyn's secondaries are hit 5 minutes later... it's true that 2 is better than 1, but how about potentially tens of thousands?

Cool story bro.
IP address? What does that have to do with it?
It would be simple to follow the transfers as the coins move through the blockchain.
It's like the Soviet Union, back from the dead!
You can visit the HP garage, which is still there. It is considered to be the "Birthplace of Silicon Valley.

I second Kodi (used to be called XBMC).
While I did try it on a raspberry pi, I found it was just too slow. Get an old laptop with HDMI out. Wire it up to your file server and you're ready to rock. I've looked at getting a remote, but I opted instead for a backlit wireless keyboard (with a touchpad on it).
