But how about their revenue in Belgium where this is an issue right now?
The next step is the EU GDPR directive, that one is going to be a royal pain in the butt for Facebook and similar services. At the EU level the fines would be higher.
Lawful Basis For Processing Data can only be processed if there is at least one lawful basis to do so[15]. The lawful bases for processing data are:
the data subject has given consent to the processing of his or her personal data for one or more specific purposes.
processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract.
processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject.
processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person.
processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child. Consent Where consent is used as the lawful basis for processing, consent must be explicit for data collected and the purposes data are used for (Article 7; defined in Article 4). Consent for children[16] must be given by the child’s parent or custodian, and verifiable (Article 8). Data controllers must be able to prove "consent" (opt-in) and consent may be withdrawn.[17]
Interesting aspect. But moving to a newer SDK also means that the chance/risk of breaking backwards compatibility increases forcing people to upgrade hardware prematurely.
It's also interesting that after an installation there's actually a need to have system privileges for all updates. That should only be necessary for updates related to system interaction. Of course app updates should require higher privileges than user level, but not really touch the system level.
But given that it's Microsoft then you'd need a reboot too.
It all comes down to how you count where you started. For me it was in high school around 1980 on a ZX80, but things have progressed since then. I suspect that when you come to the people that were kids in the early 80's you get the batch that's most likely going to be the longest serving programmers since they started their experience on C64, TI-99/4A and similar home computers.
And in Europe you generally don't have to hand over the registration papers, the license plate is already checked when they stop you and if there's a doubt then they check the VIN on the car.
Overall this case stinks of bad policy and procedures.
If there's a drill involving "not a drill" statement then there must also be a safeguard in place to block stuff from coming out. But I agree - anyone stating "not a drill" must also deal with the fact that it can come out.
I have a feeling that one factor is that contributes is the lack of small farms with mixed livestock grazing the land and dropping fresh manure at random.
A number of butterflies are also thriving on plants that we consider weed (not the type you smoke) like nettles. And nettles thrive where the soil is highly fertilized - preferably by natural manure.
But today cattle are often on large farms where the manure handling is strictly regulated.
Overall the problem is that farming is getting highly specialized instead of diversified and that causes a monoculture of plant life with very little other vegetation permitted since it will contaminate the crop.
Even more interesting is that the microcode can be upgraded. Not really huge news though - but it leaves also room for the speculation that microcode could be injected by malware. How about some new instructions in the processor - or changing some instructions to not cause an interrupt when accessing protected memory and instead return the real data?
I wouldn't put it past at least some three letter agencies to perform such things since they probably have the ability to get the full specs. I'm not saying it would be easy for them, but there's a possibility - making the Management Engine security headache marginal.
I think that segmenting the network into smaller segments is at least a step up so that HR is on one segment, developers on another, HW CAD on a third etc. It's not a full client isolation perspective, but any mishaps would be contained. And anyone that runs WiFi should run a VPN to access "their" segment.
On WiFi you could leave non-essential stuff open, like internet access and intranet web server data in read only mode. All the stuff that would be harmless (except maybe a bit embarrassing) if it went out on the internet anyway. A lot of the stuff on intranet servers is just blabber anyway and only a little is really useful for most people.

Until OSHA comes into play.
Slackware?
And suddenly there's a surplus of cards instead because it's no longer viable to mine cryptocurrencies.

Same kind of contest as "the person with the most stuff when he dies wins".
Even lower than me! :) Took me a while to discover /.

That wold be better - not worse since then most of us wouldn't have to worry about FB anymore.
B.t.w, the article should have linked to the Wired article directly instead of going over the summary at Business Insider.
And is this a vulnerability to the Nintendo software and games? To me it looks like it's just a re-purposing of the hardware.
Some ROMs are OTP (One Time Programmable), so once you have loaded them they can't be changed.
The question is if the hole can be easily plugged.
And I think that videos promoting flat earth and religion are offensive. But I choose to not watch them.
How about us who like Seti@Home?
Like if you run the OS in a virtual environment - how can you trust the virtualization engine to not be compromised? Classic Blue Pill attack.
The far distant isn't that far at all.

Anyone calling in for swatting should be charged with attempted murder or first degree murder and penalized with the maximum penalty.
That should put an end to it.

I usually don't recommend doxxing, but can't someone provide names of the people behind this scam attempt?

Add ID theft and some other crimes as well to that.
So that's why there are so many car accidents in Russia?
