"There is no energy crisis because I can generate my own"
Right-wing, radical freedom and independence, states rights, end-of-the-world survavalists should be embracing generation of their own energy, if they are serious about independence from corporations, monopolies, etc. It's nearly impossible to create your own gas, but electricity is comparatively easy to generate.
The military is quite right-wing, but they are just practical when it comes to generating power.
Yes, facts and opinion can be manipulated. Nothing new. For example, auto, coal, and oil companies can create disinformation campaigns about traffic, pollution, accidents, and global warming.
Yes sir. We are currently analyzing intelligence to narrow down possible locations for "the middle of Nebraska". First waves of attack with fake dummy zombies to consume ammunition. Please do not hit your head too much as we plan to "analyze" it to extract passwords, one bite at a time, starting at the toes.
Sir, your password recovery procedure is running according to plan and on schedule, sir, any other instructions?
I bought a used manageable switch with no password. I had to find the documentation, specs, build its proprietary serial cable, access the console, only then did I find the funky odd way to reset its passwords.
Quite a few passwords are not for windows, and require a lot of additional work to reset. All those simple routers on the market are very widely used. They don't reset the router access password, they reset the entire router. The SSID, WPA/wifi password, dhcp, all configurations, messing up the network.
The time required to reset all the passwords is precious time lost and creates additional problems. By now you are being called messy and irresponsible all over the place. The responsible thing is to find a good and secure way to store, document, and transmit the passwords when needed. Then reset them and re-document them. Which is a pain.
"Tried" several times to patch an error but "couldn't". "Coincidence" that it is planning to retire the platform. Smells a lot like planned obsolescence. Helps sell more junk products that become useless faster. Buy a new one!
That's what I have. Pretty much every cybercafe has deep freeze. It works perfectly, uses basically no ram, there is no slowdown. Turned off all autoupdates, removed the antivirus. Box never changes anything, boots the same every time. Occasionally I disable it and update all the stuff, but it generally runs somewhat outdated versions. There will be crap infecting sometimes, but only until you reboot.
Freeze all system changes except saving into the the documents folder. There are a number of programs to do it, seems the most popular is Deep Freeze. It allows all system changes, but after reboot it is all gone. Some tweaking will allow making a few things persistent, such as the documents.
It's their own fault if Dell, HP, and friends created a business plan that depends on the entire population tossing out their computer within 24 months, and that no longer happens. They should have made better products rather than relying on Microsoft to make their previous models become slow in a short time.
Enough of this nonsense about planned obsolescence and waste being needed to "create jobs" or "help the economy". That's code for making people waste their money and resources.
The government can just print more money. Then those dollars go sit in some foreign bank account, so it doesn't affect inflation immediately. Then some electronic currencies appear, make national currencies worthless, and the whole financial world explodes. Then we go back to creating local neighborhood markets, planting food in the backyard, and trading based on barter because no money of any kind is trusted by anyone.
Agreed, it's better if people try to be independent and do things rather than complain about the government, corporations, and whatever else there is to complain of. Everyone can form a group of people to generate their own power, setup their own internet local subnet, produce some of their own things, run their own small shared transportation, etc.
has anyone found another possible _deposit_ location for all the rubbish and toxic waste we're producing?.
A huge amount of products and processes are just waste.
Economics, politics, etc try to stimulate, encourage, reward the production of more. More of whatever. Generally, more waste. In my view, we need to address this waste-stimulation.
As it is, generating waste is directly linked to generating product, profit, jobs, and taxes. That link needs to stop.
Nuclear will work. There are several options though. But technology will be created to meet whatever challenge is imposed. If all coal and oil disappeared, there would be technologies to replace it all in a heartbeat. It would require rebuilding huge amounts of infrastructure, generating tons of jobs. There are already lots of options, even if someone wanted to generate all their own energy, it is actually possible for lots of folks.
The only reason we use so much oil and coal is because their lobby/marketing/PR gets their way. Every option that comes forward gets attacked in lots of ways.
It's been deemed acceptable to gather data on the entire population - though still illegal. Proportionally, it's acceptable to gather data on everyone in any position of power. Though still illegal. It's the only way to even the game.
Like it or not, privacy is unenforceable. We can fiddle with our settings so they leak less data, but there is still lots of data given out, and leaking, just by having a cellphone, credit card, car, job, name and ID.
The battle now, is to end the privacy/secrecy for THEM. In other words, get gov't transparency, corporate transparency.
They won't give it up easy, their one-way information flow.
Wikileaks showed us the way. The only thing left to talk about is public access to data, especially data on people in privileged positions.
Nothing can really be done to control black and gray market data. And, little or no actual control can be exerted on the "legal" companies and practices as well. Even if you manage to hide your own data through various means, it complicates and restricts life, and does nothing about the data of the rest of the population, which affects and includes your data.
The only real secrets are those of people who can afford the expenses of keeping secrets - corporations, governments, and their associated criminals.
No, the path is now to acquire public access to data on these people.
Seems to help programmers a lot. They can publish on their own site a single set of files and specifications for all platforms to manage installation and package creation. Packaging teams can use it to make their life easier.

Read again. It doesn't generate radiation. It's not a nuclear power plant.
Though if someone writes an app to turn the phone into a safe nuclear power plant it might be popular.
All the war, terrorism, oil and environment madness would seem to make it worth researching safe nuclear technology, thorium for example.

The traffic doesn't care what speed your car or special privileges allow you to drive. You go the same speed as everyone else.
so *that's* the secret.
Yup, that's the secret. Feed coffee to your computer and you won't need backups any more.

That's all there is to say.

It would be more useful to talk about the science, technology, economics on the issue. The politicking is killing the country.

I have yet to work somewhere where the password management wasn't simply a nightmare.
Isn't there some utility that could be added to all systems and unify password management?
How on earth did that happen?

Cross platform is also a major benefit to system administrators.
