Demoing an item before ordering it from Amazon, or as lgw said, when you need a NIC/adapter/etc right now. I'm not sure how good they are for the second purpose anymore. Few months ago I needed a foot of cat5, all Best Buy had was 25+ foot lengths at a stupid price while a guy stood there asking if I wanted to see wireless routers instead. I ended up driving down the street to Walmart and picked up a 3 foot patch cable.
The official announcement says "These statistics are gathered from bug reports we have received from WhisperBack." WhisperBack is a voluntary, manual bug reporting system that comes with Tails. So they're only collecting "telemetry" from users who are voluntarily submitting it; that may not be the best barometer of who's using 32-bit systems, but it's all they have to go by.
Do you know if any of these support video chat on a Mac?
I got a panicked call from my mom this morning, she uses Skype extensively to chat with family, and Microsoft just sent her an email about shutting down the current versions. I walked her through trying to update, but the website only offers her version 6-something. She has OS X 10.6 and apparently the new mandatory client won't run there, now I'm having to find her some alternative.
This reminds me of the murder of David Crawford in Australia. The killer had an alibi matching what police initially thought was the time of death. By analyzing data from Crawford's pacemaker, they were able to pinpoint the exact moment he died, which busted the killer's alibi.
So you don't black hole those IPs and hosts at the router/firewall level?
How will you ever know if you got them all? Malware authors have evolved techniques like rotating their C&C to different IPs based upon to the current UTC time. Microsoft has 20+ million IPs to pick from, and those are just the ones with their name on them. You can't block them all without taking out all of Azure, which hosts lots of legit non-MS services.
Assange's offer was for "clemency," which does not necessarily mean a full pardon, and could include commutation depending upon whom you ask. So it's muddy, of course, and easy for him to weasel out of if he has to. In any case, was Assange ever actually facing US prison? It would be like me offering to turn myself in to the Canadian authorities in exchange for Snowden being granted clemency; I haven't even been to Canada, and I'm certainly not wanted for anything there. It's an empty offer, there's nothing for him to make good on.
Usually the "This update fixes yet another gaping hole that will allow anyone to take over your computer" blurb contains a reference to a vulnerability ID like "MS17-004," and then it's on you to go searching for the detailed bulletin. It's a pain in the ass but the details are out there.
I could replace half the circulation of the library they're failing to perform usable work at with a couple of low powered, robust systems with access to JSTOR and good network connection, and cut their annual costs by at least one full-time salary
And how, pray tell, will the patrons check out those robust systems and that good network connection and take them home? You seem to lack a fundamental understanding of what makes a library different from, say, Wikipedia.
More importantly to me, I've used the old pile of shit for 20 years. I know how it works, I know its quirks and shortcomings, and I'm comfortable with all of that.
I have no particular aversion to trying new things. I ran ntpd for years, now I use chrony. I ran exim for years, now I use postfix. I ran apache for years, now I use both apache and nginx. I ran cvs for years, then svn for years, and am now aboard the git train. I was able to gradually step through all of those changes and take time to learn them properly. And when something went wrong along the way, the problem was isolated and I could troubleshoot it in isolation.
systemd on the other hand wants to implant itself underneath every aspect of the OS like a kludgey layer of Elmer's paste, where even such basic functionality as DNS resolution wants to worm its way through an unnecessary and complex intermediary service. Not to mention that when systemd goes tits up, it has a tendency to take the entire machine with it.
What's on MY computer is not the business of any private person unless I have given them permission. This little shithead abetted invading the privacy of thousands of people.
If you find out someone recorded video of you undressing in your bedroom, are you going to go after the camera manufacturer?

The only reason to go into a Best Buy is... um...

Now flush!
Barring Libyans from entering the US surely would have prevented attacks in Benghazi!
I'm only aware of one confirmed user of Edge, the brokenbrowser guy who finds tons of exploits in it.
Her inability to thwart complete penetration is why she had to build a day care center inside her office.
Windows Remote Desktop/Assistance, AnyDesk, TightVNC, Bomgar, ScreenConnect, Teamviewer, LogMeIn... There are probably a dozen more.
That's why they're making it hard to cancel and impossible to get your money back.
It's hard to charge a user for a back-end system.
Said no bank executive, ever.

DisruptJ20 people who were caught plotting to gas people with butyric acid
Is that like the Planned Parenthood people who were "caught" selling baby parts, except they weren't?
I have no idea what you're talking about!
Tim Cook was really drunk one night, thought he was renewing Jony Ive's contract, and got Jim Iovine by mistake.

No thanks.
Plot twist: DB Cooper is actually John McAfee.
Perhaps he shouldn't have been engaged in criminal activity and his life would be just fine.
Contrariwise, perhaps selling software shouldn't be criminal activity.

Trump selects an effective executive who was a US attorney for 10 plus years and you idiots lose your shit.
Maybe he should appoint Kevin Mitnick to be attorney general, it would make equally as much sense as appointing an attorney to run infosec.
Proving criminal fraud is much more difficult than proving a business code violation.
It looks like her primary master is Verizon.
