How exactly would being on a/64 prevent such an attack against a publicly facing entity? These attacks are not address space scanning attacks at all, they are known and publicly published IP addresses (in this case, DNS servers). Flood the public facing IP (the DNS server) would be exactly the same if IPv4 or IPv6. The only thing this would temporarily mitigate is the fact there are far fewer devices/users on the IPv6 network, so less of a botnet to control currently.
So much of this! And also, knowing people in helpdesk positions to do extensive tracking of trouble ticket issues in their offices (not IBM, but similar scale corporations), the top support tickets were either account password resets or printers not working or inability to access shared file resources. NONE of these issues had to deal with the local OS whatsoever, but instead had to deal with remote machines. This one particular office used the IBM AS400 server system, and printed reports through it, this would fall under your "legacy" software support definition for sure! The company switched client (Windows XP/7 to 10) and server (AS400 to some web-based system) at the same time, so the same "correlation" of the OS being the difference could just as easily been the same, when in reality it was better server architecture that solved their particular problems.
The big deal is about big transactions. This most likely isn't going to be used in the consumer credit card / debit card market, but more likely in the large purchase department. Buying a car/house? Waiting a few minutes vs hours/days for credit reports to return. Transferring millions/billions of dollars between accounts, who's auditing it? Blockchains significantly reduce the amount of work in this department while essentially eliminating fraud, since the dollars can be tracked from transaction to transaction.
Wait, no more USB ports!? Oh wait, no, there it is. It has USB-C. This isn't the "removal" of USB like almost all of the text is trying to portray, this is merely the change from one style of USB port to another. This is absolutely a non-issue. It has been known all along that USB-C was designed from the get-go to be a more universal port, offering charging for laptops too. AND, there is absolutely nothing stopping anyone from using a USB-C to USB-A/B/Mini/Micro/Male/Female cable to plug in literally every single existing USB device into this port. Need more ports? Just get a USB-C to "standard" USB 3.0 HUB.
My main question: should there be a regulatory agency who oversees various types of security practices for companies? There is already PCI standards, but that is brought on by the credit card industry, not government, and the penalty for not being compliant is just a small fee each month. An example of a problem I've seen in the wild: my old ISP transmits user passwords in plain text via unsecured email messages. This means the odds are also extremely high that they're also storing the passwords as plain text instead of properly hashed values. With this being an ISP, it wouldn't take much to perform as DOS attack on their entire network, just compromise their user account database, "login" to each account, and simply shut off service. When I spoke with the CEO and senior level techs in person at the company in question, they simply gave me a "that's not our problem" attitude, and the issue was never fixed. What sort of recourse should happen at that point, especially when there is the extreme monopoly practice with ISPs, limiting the options to switch to a more competent competitor?
So, this works EXACTLY like how the YouTube app on Android w/ Google Chromecast for years has been doing it? Because the summary makes it seem like it is some grand feature to hit "cast" on a video and still be able to use the mobile device for other things at the same time.
As an added note: you wanna make this shit as simple as possible? Just install FreeNAS. It has all this built in. Need "cloud" (automatic doc syncing between desktops), there is the OwnCloud plugin with a desktop client that does this right there built in. This whole process is actually really damn simple compared to what it was years ago.
Repeat after me: HOST YOUR OWN DAMN FILES. Put them on a good quality local server with ZFS backed storage. Set up automated snapshots. Then setup automated ZFS send/recv to another off-set (geographically diverse, so at least a few hundred miles away) server.
When files are borkt locally, just pull em out of your snapshots, or just entirely revert to a snapshot. Local server is borkt? Just pull the contents from the remote server. For an added bonus, sync to multiple remote locations, especially because co-location hosting and bandwidth is so damn cheap now.
There is a hell of a lot more to observe with a patient than simple a checklist of yes/no values to see if someone has a particular diagnosis. For example, years back when I had a severe sore throat, I went into the doc. She took one look at me, mentioned there is a unique smell associated with strep throat, did the test for it, and handed me a prescription for the antibiotics all within a few short minutes. WebMD, as we all know, diagnoses cancer for when you stub your toe!
Sssoooo, what you're saying is we need a new Steel Battalion game, with the "Steel Battalion Controller of fucking holyshit why did they even make that in the first place" !?
Okay, everyone here is bitching about the usual privacy and other crap like that. So, I'll take this in a different direction...
Name one... only ONE feature that Facebook for Workplaces has over traditional Facebook? I've been following this thing since it was announced, and have yet to see a single thing this does which normal Facebook does not do. It has the EXACT same messaging system, EXACT same groups system, and the EXACT same layout and management for groups/messages. The only differences I've been able to find thusfar is a) the "name", b) the title bar is a different color (WWWOOO!!!), and c) it is a "secondary" account, separate from your main account.
So this is basically FB telling people "hey, we don't authorize individuals to have two accounts at once... but... uuhhh... have a second account now, but with a new hat!"
My guess is this. The INITIAL 4G spec mandated IPv6 connectivity. However, carriers went ahead and started "marketing" their products and services as "4G" without this (and other parts of the spec) before the spec was finalized. Most likely, 5G will have an instated mandate for IPv6, which helps with individually addressing each of these internet connected devices. One of the proposals for these sensors were to place them within the lane line bumps on the road, but no idea what they intended to do to power these though.
It is extremely important to me! Chrome needs massive optimizations, as it has become so godawefully slow, that myself and countless other business that I've managed has had to switch off of it in the past two years. Funny enough, we're all running Opera now, which is based on the same Blink rendering engine, but we all internally jokingly call Opera "Chrome Stable", because it just gets the good stable bits after Google is done experimenting with alpha and beta code in production with live real users. These businesses I manage tech for all have intranets which heavily rely upon the web browser, and when certain machines are unknowingly shoved into A/B live tests with no notification and no way to opt out, it became way too much of a pain in the ass to manage Chrome for the businesses. JavaScript processing performance was one of those issues for sure.
Facebook did the same thing with developing HHVM (their PHP interpreter)... Do you honestly think that their optimizations would ONLY effect the specific sites being targeted, even through it is the general underlaying architecture which all sites use that is being optimized? For instance, Facebook sent a team of developers inside of Wikimedia to help optimize HHVM specifically for the code patterns used in Wikipedia and other Wiki powered web sites. These same code path optimizations were also extremely useful for thousands upon thousands of other web sites that used similar code paths. This is all apart of the development process, pick a specific benchmark, test against it, optimize against it, then move on to the next benchmark. For Google, one of their benchmark sites is the New York Times on Mobile. I'm sure just like with HHVM (which has a well documented and publish lists of all the sites they optimize for), Google has a very wide array of different common sites that use common code paths and patterns they're optimizing for, so virtually everyone wins in the end.
WALP, I'm half way there with the unmetered gigabit FTTH! Now I just need to upgrade from dual-1080p displays to this thing, and buy a whole new computer, again, which I just did a month ago.
The movie is the same movie (save for small details on what is/isnt cut) in theater vs home. So why pay $12.50/person in theater vs $20/total for home?
The movie theaters need to make it more about the experience than just the product (the movie) itself.
A few local theaters have changed their seating to be 180-degree leather reclining seats. Something that makes the experience a HELL of a lot more comfortable. Some theaters also include Dolby Atmos, if you love amazing sound systems. I've also heard of some friends mention there is a theater nearby that offers at-seat catering of food/alcohol, tho I've yet to go to this one. And lastly, for those on a budget, there is a local $2 theater that shows movies just after the big chains, and then makes it even cheaper for half-priced Tuesdays.
Fundamental difference in storage architecture. Windows is installed as files on a filesytem on a hard drive. Android is built into a single solid ROM file, not designed for read/write access at all, with a separate partition for writable files. And as another note: most built-in applications on Android can be fully disabled (albeit still "taking up space" in the OS ROM partition)
