Tor Browser will present you with many more warnings and generally provide far more security information than Firefox. The most common are: don't maximize the browser window on a desktop, and beware of fingerprinting with the canvas element, and noscript redirect warnings.
I am still running HP-UX 10.20, along with a large pile of UNIX systems that the vendors abandoned long ago. I threw away Alpha DS10s last week, but certainly not all of them.
I'm holding onto an Itanium for a VMS guy. And if you think VMS is old, you should see our OS2200.
If that was going to burn, it would have been cinders long, long ago.
While I am not ready to entirely cut my ties with Google, it is time for some distance.
This month I wiped my Android ROM and loaded microG. This does complicate access to Google services, but I am willing to accept that.
I do have a lifetime Cerberus membership, and I have downloaded their full-featured APK directly, bypassing Google. UBER continues to work without error (and yes, I know UBER is also a privacy nightmare). I have downloaded many other apps from Google Play, most of which work perfectly with the microG compatibility libraries.
Knowledgeable people should act by excising spyware when they can. For Google Mobile Services on my daily driver, it was time.
I like upnpc, as it is an easy way to get the router's external IP address without going outside my internal network.
I wonder if registering the two exploit ports to a nonexistent internal IP would prevent any firmware flaws from being exploited. It might actually be useful to register them all with a nightly crown job.
It is unlikely that subscription charges to Windows 10 will ever be enforced. ChromeOS and Android have supplanted Windows as the main consumer OS, and Microsoft likely will not want to see their market share decay any more rapidly than necessary. It is more likely that adware will be introduced on systems that do not have corporate subscriptions.
You can already install LineageOS without Google, then load it with a full suite of Amazon services. The EU just made a family of Amazon phones possible.
What about Microsoft? There are already a full suite of integration apps for OneDrive, Outlook et al. Some of these depend upon gapps, but a Microsoft Android is surely not far out of reach.
What about Samsung? Every Galaxy that I've seen has a suite of Samsung apps that duplicate Google functionality.
What if all of these players unite to displace Google in the EU? Would that be good for consumers? Possibly.
...I must run Oracle databases, and they have not run on OpenBSD since Linux emulation is removed.
I do have a soft spot for the OS, and I upgraded my home system last night. I'm wondering if I should upgrade the SPARC at work without telling anyone.

Does Firefox Focus normally stop a majority of these? The Android version is based on webview/blink, but it has an integrated adblocker.
If this works with yalp and MicroG, then I'll try it. A stand-alone download would be nice.
It is far easier to place a SIT tone sequence at the start of your voicemail. The technique is shockingly effective. https://lifehacker.com/trick-a...
IBM, may I suggest that you start with one of the DB2 codebases? DB2 UDB for UNIX and Windows seems particularly appropriate for this exercise.
Such a move is unlikely to damage mainframe and AS/400 DB2 revenues.
That can still get you far, though.
...if it still counts if you uninstall updates, then disable it.
I really love Lineage + MicroG - no avalanche of updating apps. It's quite a bit of work to shut them down on most stock ROMs.
Huawei could likely do well by shipping clean hardware with open specifications, and allow their customer base to write the software.
Some might use Linux kernels for maximum functionality. Some might use various BSDs for security. Some might be ornery and choose ReactOS.
Microsoft had a chance with Edge, but they kept the source code secret. Huawei should not make this mistake.
I'm using a Nexus 6 on Verizon with the MicroG reroll of LineageOS. Nice phone, not missing Google.
I wiped Google's stock off my Nexus 6 and loaded the Lineage reroll of MicroG.
That belongs to me, thank you very much.

This might be useful to you, as I believe it returns nonsensical data, rather than throwing an error.

I posted this at hacker news (tl;dr - SPARC and MIPS had design aspects that were great in 1983, but didn't scale): https://www.jwhitham.org/2016/...
If the equations describe observable reality, use them.
Yes, this is the Wikipedia entry for the Rio Tinto prosecution.
Several mining companies reported that their computer systems were compromised around that time.
Has the U.S. government conclusively pierced this veil?

The examples at the end of Akamai's (rather old) document use curl, and require a URL to the uPnP server.
I have loaded the upnpc binary on my copy of Raspbian, and it will probe the local network for the server. I think this is how you can obtain the URL:
# upnpc -l | awk '$1=="desc:"'
desc: h ttp://192.168.0.1:5000/rootDesc.xml
Note that I added the space above in the URL to prevent slashdot from mangling it.
I am running an Arris modem with 2013 firmware, but there is nothing from my manufacturer on Akamai's list.
I would certainly like to see an attempt at a hostile acquisition there.
Big companies are slow. This is especially so with profound changes to the kernel compiler, which were likely reviewed by Dave Cutler himself.

And will Google take legal action?
I will be wiping Google from my phone next month with MicroG. They have worn out their welcome.
