really? that is the moral you get from this? nothing in this is a windows specific weakness, it is the same weakness that exists in Linux, OSX, Android, IOS etc etc. i.e. the idiot at the keyboard. The fact you think this way makes you probably one of there primary targets and hence yes you are probably better off on Linux or anything else until they focus there attention there as you will be an easy mark.
yep I would doubt his employers will be very forgiving. He has basically given a nutpunch to a multi million dollar industry. I wouldn't be surprised if said coder has already received his only nutpunch in a far more fatal way.
Then it isn't just a game machine if you are running VM's and IDE's, so 32GB or even more actually makes sense. I have 128GB on my gaming machine, but I also do dev work and run VM's on it. If I was building a purely gaming machine I would not go above 16GB as it just isn't worth it.
That really depends on the dealer. many actually sell to or thru a 3rd party second hand car dealership. (also family owned car dealership for 30 years which was only recently sold). we never sold second hand vehicles on the dealership lots.
The fact you think there can be a step 4 where you are the winner in this scenario is delusional at best. Only a few possible scenarios will happen here and NONE of them involve you winning.
best case, you will be refused entry to the country, have what is the equivalent of a criminal record for travel terms where you now have to declare that refusal of entry and be royally fucked for the next decade where most countries will refuse you a travel visa.
More likely, they believe you, check the device (believe it or not they do take threats of damage extremely seriously) and you are charged for carrying a device with the sole purpose of causing damage. worst case they don't believe you are you are charged with all of the above, plus damage, plus whatever else they can come up with. either way you are likely to spend a period of time in a nice comfy jail. seriously the ONLY way to avoid exposing data is to not take it with you or any means to access it with it, in today's world that isn't even hard to do, your dumb idea ranks up there with others suggestions of encrypted drives (also a huge no no as you are then in a situation of being potentially forced to decrypt or be in breech of other laws).
If your computer is intended for just gaming then 32GB was a huge waste. 16GB at most is all you need even today let alone 2 years ago. games will not target such a tiny fraction of the market for years yet. It is highly unusual for a game to even utilize 8GB of ram, and Batman using 12GB is a major tech story because it is simply unheard of.
Given the USS Vincennes was sitting under a commercial flight zone, ignoring orders, hailing them while stating incorrect altitude, speed et al. The transponder was also on, however the Vincennes supposedly incorrectly read the transponder of another military jet near the airport at the time. I can't see how you can attribute blame on anyone for this except for those firing the missile on the Vincennes.
It isn't just getting a tablet at $50, it is getting one that doesn't suck. lack of performance, storage and screen resolution means this device DOES suck for all but the most basic of purposes. Until the devices come a little more beefy (probably at a slightly higher price point) then these things really are going to mean SFA for gaming and/or education.
simple coal-miners? you do realise most of that part of the world (Russia and Ukraine) have compulsory military service. Every one of those simple farmers and miners will have likely spent some time in the military.
every coal fire plant is a disaster that is occurring every single day and are continuing to affect the human race in ways we still don't fully comprehend long after everyone here is dead.
You are arguing that having two problems is the solution, instead of getting rid of both problems. Nuclear and Coal are as bad as each other and Nuclear is worse in ways we still don't fully comprehend.
No, I am arguing coal is a KNOWN far worse problem right here and now, we don't have to wait for an accident, it doesn't have some "chance" of being an issue. It has far reaching known issues and probably just as many unknown.

sounds like Oracle's ridiculous "unbreakable" statement. They may not currently know of a way around it, but I am willing to bet it isn't impossible and someone will discover a weakness, they always do.
1) Leverage Windows crypto APIs instead of OpenSSL/LibreSSL
Rule #1 of crypto: don't write your own
Rule #2 of crypto: DON'T write your own
Rule #3 of crypto: DON'T WRITE YOUR OWN
They're not difficult rules to follow. But then they seem to enjoy writing their own rules, despite what's good for the consumer.
Soooo what your saying is everyone should dump OpenSSL and LibreSSL for the windows ones that predate it? I know OpenSSL has had trouble but that is fucking moronic. FYI those rules are meant to apply to home devs and small time dev shops where it is nearly always far worse to write your own security than to utilise one that is professionally written.
seems to be a lot of missing information here. I would assume part of the severance package is some sort of final payment, otherwise no sane individual would agree to such terms. depending on what that final package was this could be a completely insane illegal request for free labour or it could be a quite reasonable request that they were compensated for up front in case it eventuates.
it is company equipment, if you want to make a personal phone call then bring your own mobile in or accept there is a chance it could be recorded or monitored. Many companies EXPLICITLY state it is unacceptable to send or receive personal packages at the employer's business address (I know mine does now).
So much ignorance in your post. An oblast is roughly the equivalent of a state. There is a Moscow Oblast. probably should try using google before making yourself look like an idiot.
I am confused, What is supposed to shock me more? is it that this actually made it here as a story or how incredibly bad the AI works? I could write a random word generator with a few simple English language rules that would come up with more shocking headlines. The samples would not even be close to being clickbait on any site they are pathetic, if anything the headlines PRIOR to it learning were actually more likely to generate clicks as at least they have a "what the fuck does that mean" clickbait attached to them.
You seem to be living 20 to 30 years in the past. What you describe is really nothing like Russia today. I have visited their a bit, do business there and even own some property there (incidently besides the higher corruption that you have to be careful of the rules for business are far more relaxed.) Visa's are easy to get, and many countries (not Australia or US) actually can travel freely their. Interestingly Russia a couple of years back offered Australia mutual visa waivers for free travel but AUSTRALIA refused.
Australian here also. pretty rough blaming Putin for that. The likely culprits are either the Ethnic Russian rebels or the Ukrainians and regardless of which party it was unlikely to have been intentional.
The Australian death adder is one of the few land snakes that can swim. So a story about Australian jellyfish might include a death adder.
Interesting, I had assumed nearly all land snakes were good swimmers as in Australia they all seem pretty decent swimmers. had a number of close calls with black snakes and browns in swimming holes here over the years.
A journalist is an Activist now? I would imagine he doesn't like ANY trespassers on his property, no company does, it has all sorts of liability issues combined with the potential mischief that they are up too. smashed window and cut seatbelt sounds like security dragging these people from the vehicle to detain them (well within their right to do so).

There is a password, it is just useless. sounds like the OP doesn't understand what he is seeing though.
most likely you are both. unless you are buying the smartphone for someone else in your family.

Hitler wasn't voted into power, he took power after the death of the standing chancellor. Hitler only ever lost in elections.
But you do know that 'loser' and 'lose' is pronounced like looser and loose?.
Not in most of the English speaking world they aint! not sure where you are from that they are pronounced similar.
