Most home users at this point DO have firewalls. 1) OS level. 2) NATing routers.
Also, VPN isn't just what the usual spamervertised VPN services are (anonymized internet browsing) . They started as a way for corporate employees to log into their private corporate LANs remotely over the internet. One method assigns a private LAN IP address to the remote machine, and tunnels that over the internet, another uses routing tables between two different private LANs tunneled over the internet. In either of these situations, the internet side of things are handled via a tunnel (that is HOPEFULLY secured), so as far as firewalls are concerned, it is treated as local LAN traffic.
Another way for Windows users is to just use Remote Desktop, which is a fully encrypted and secured connection. RDP allows for file sharing pretty easily, just copy a file on host or client, then paste it on the other side.
There is no reason to ever have CIFS/SMB touch public internet outside of private LANs, it just isn't secure enough.
And this is EXACTLY why all of the LAN > WAN firewalls I manage have SMB/CIFS blocked. There is no reason to send that traffic over WAN. If it is needed for connection to a remote location, that's what a VPN connection is for.
1) There is one particular update that addressed and fixed the WU CPU issue (I don't remember the KB number right now, but it is easy to find)
2) Just slipstream a Windows WIM file. Take the ISO, download the cumulative updates, inject them into the WIM, and then install Windows from there. It'll be a smaller install over all (less SxS crud), and current as of which ever updates you slipstream into it. Additionally, you can add drivers this way too such as NVMe, USB3, and 10gbe if you use stuff like that.
While it is Windows XP today, it wont be long before it is Windows 7 that is totally screwed by these same policies... which is extremely worrisome considering how much hardware and software DOESNT work on Windows 10 (let alone the spying bullshit). Win10 is even worse in that hardware/software supported at initial release has been removed since then by updates, meaning users literally have to choose between security or functionality at this point.
Android isn't just phones, it is also set top TV boxes now. Many of those devices come pre-rooted, making the entire market for those devices totally fucked in terms of Netflix now.
Each new "update" to Windows breaks an undisclosed piece of hardware. We've seen the removal of DVD support. We've seen the removal of web cams. And from the security side, the March update for Windows broke smart cards (used by DoD, secure businesses) - I've literally had to run VMWare with a Windows 7 VM ever since on my work machine because I'm the I.T. tasked with "testing" Win10 to see if the entire company could use it. Since smart cards don't work anymore, things have become an absolute pain in the ass, since that is what we use for SSH authentication, which includes both server shell access and git access (things used literally every few minutes here). I can only imagine which critical hardware they'll cripple next.
Remember back when the Earth Simulator was new and exciting? That thing pushed apparently ~35 TFlops of compute performance. This card just announced can push 15 TFlops of compute performance. So, what you're saying, is that pretty much two of these new cards is about the same performance profile as the Earth Simulator? (of course, different architecture entirely, less ram, without storage, etc)
Exactly this! I think I've yet to go a single day where I have not missed something as simple as a semicolon or I used an arrow instead of 4-dots syntax, or brackets instead of curly braces for different array syntaxes while jumping between languages. The intended meaning was very blatantly there in the code, and a simple "F5" to compile+run (or refresh browser in case of web apps) would have caught the simple mistakes. If this were not an issue, keyboards would never have a backspace key. This is one of the oldest aspects of computers, period. There is a reason why 0x7F is "DELETE" in the ASCII table, because in the days of 7-bit punch cards, if a "typo" was made, punching down all 7 bits was the way to clear it!
ReactOS was a promising tech demo... like 10 years ago. Considering where it has gone from then till now? It seems to be moving along quite slowly, and has an interface that isn't even comparable to Windows 98 yet in terms of usability.
Need to keep legacy applications alive? Best bet is still VMWare with PCI Passthrough for any legacy hardware you need.
Just put "RELEASED" in quotes. Per the article and Debian's own web site, 8.7.1 is still the latest ISO image available for download. This notice is really them just saying that they're marked the milestone for a particular patch level to eventually become the release when it is actually released. Until then, install older version and patch (or, just install something else without all the BS cruft, like FreeBSD)
Too bad something like Soundex or Metaphone algorithms wasn't developed well over a decade or two ago to address these very issues in a very simplistic and performance way...
Under Gates or possibly even Ballmer, this could have been a reality. They both cared about businesses and to a degree consumers, too. This is why there was such an emphasis on usability in Windows until recently. Nedalla cares about one thing and one thing only: subscription services. If it isn't this, he doesn't give too fucks about it. And this totally makes sense, too, he comes from Microsoft's Azure Cloud as a background. Gates was all about being a cutthroat business man, so this is the type of people he catered to when pushing the company agenda. And well, Ballmer, we all know the DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS speech.
column sizing with X, and then X*3 or whatever for the next is actually possible now with flex-box. Instead of setting actual sizes, you can just set ratios (example, width:10px on first, width:30px on the next), and set the columns to flex-grow:1. This will grow them out proportionally to fill up their parent container width, instead of staying the fixed input value. Essentially it works like old HTML table formatting, but with quite a bit more granularity, and each row can optionally be different proportions (unaligned columns)

That's okay, I plan to have mine published in Wingdings
wanna cry about it a little more?

Existing self-checkout kiosks at major retail outlets already handle cash perfectly fine.
This will go super handy along with my Fire Phone!
Well, it IS called "parental control" for a reason!

Why solve a problem already solved? Just use 2FA. Problem SOLVED.

Just tried this out because I was curious. It requires Adobe Flash. Already lost interest, sadly. And it looked kinda cool to tinker with, too!
