That's a good point, thanks. I wasn't thinking about a corporate environment. However, I imagine IT should be concerned about WSL as well, at least to some extent, as it's another potential vector into the system.
Unix sockets mean you can run Kali Linux on Windows 10 for penetration testing or run an Apache server in the background with full Linux networking support.
You could just run Linux (and maybe Windows 10 in a VM).

... so why do *you* care what I do with it? If I want a different "user experience" than what you envisioned, why is that your concern?
OK, so these deices ARE listening to everything at all times. But don't worry. It will only be used in good ways.
Dear Jeff Bezos, Amazon, The Washington Post and FBI,
Will you each please send Donald Trump an Amazon Alexa? He already hates you and thinks you're spying on him, so you might as well give him an actual reason. Also, this will liven up the news and Twitter feeds a bit.
You want privacy? Don't use these assistants. It's not that hard.
Agreed, but there seems to be a growing assumption that people will have them.
I just noticed that TiVo added "Amazon Alexa" (along with "Get New Experience") to the App sub-menu on my device and neither item can be removed. Seems presumptuous. I will *never* have an Alexa (or similar device) in my home and will never willingly upgrade to their New Experience (which, like the new Amazon interface, seems horrible, unnecessarily busy and dumbed-down).
18-year-old Casey Viner, who instigated the 911 call which led to a fatal shooting in Wichita (hiring Tyler Barriss to perform the actual call), is in big trouble.
Seems like guys named Tyler are always doing other guys dirty work and getting them both into trouble.
That and, I'm sure, this helped change Trump's mind:
Trump's controversial ZTE order came days after the Chinese government provided millions to a Trump Organization-tied project
Within three days of the Chinese government agreeing to provide $500 million in loans to an Indonesian theme park that the Trump Organization has a deal to license President Donald Trump's name to, the president stunningly ordered sanctions be rescinded against a major Chinese telecom company.
Do you think it would make any difference if China produces equally plausible-sounding excuse for retaliation on agricultural sector?
From a practical stand-point no, you're correct. Bu the ZTE sanctions have a legal, supportable basis, where the Trump trade war and tariff are just Trump stroking his ego and pandering to his base -- who will suffer China's targeted retaliation to the US agricultural sector. I have zero sympathy for them. They wanted and voted for this clown and they can reap what they sowed. (Be careful what you ask for, you may get it.)
In March 2017, ZTE agreed to a combined civil and criminal penalty and forfeiture of $1.19 billion after illegally shipping telecommunications equipment to Iran and North Korea, making false statements, and obstructing justice including through preventing disclosure to and affirmatively misleading the U.S. Government. In addition to these monetary penalties, ZTE also agreed a seven-year suspended denial of export privileges, which could be activated if any aspect of the agreement was not met and/or if the company committed additional violations of the Export Administration Regulations (EAR).
Now our President wants to let them off the hook because "reasons".
This will keep thousands of Chinese from losing their jobs, meaning they won't try to illegally immigrate to America. You have to see the big picture here.
True enough. And this will actually save the US a bunch of money as building a wall across the Pacific would be *really* expensive - unless Trump could get China, or Mexico, to pay for it.
so is RF a particle or is it a wave? beam is perfectly correct.
Well... As a verb, "beam" implies a focused or point-to-point transmission or transmission in a specific direction, which I'm sure this isn't. And, hopefully, it's not a bright light shining through the abdominal wall. "Transmit" or "broadcast" would be better words in this case. In any case, I'm quite sure TFA editor was just trying to be clever and make it sound all SciFi -- which it isn't as there are already implantable devices that transmit data wirelessly. So, again, (sigh).
I'm not the only one who noticed Trump's hypocrisy over railing against Clinton for her email server, then using an unsecured cell phone himself; I've seen it mentioned in several articles. Sure degree matters, but not absolutely. Both of our points may be missing the mark a bit, but I'm sure mine does so less in this case. More broadly, Trump is a lying, hypocritical, sociopath and his base, including the "religious" right, and many Republican representatives don't seem to care because, for him and them, the ends justify the means. That's pretty much fact at this point, not opinion. (I challenge anyone to disprove that.)

Lowering the cost of goods and services means your purchasing power extends further: ...
Unless what you end up getting is crap, then you'll just have to buy it again, which doesn't help you but the sellers.
Low-cost imports make the importing nation wealthier. They raise the standard-of-living and cause economic growth.
Isn't something like 90% of everything at Walmart imported from China? Not sure how that squares with the above as a positive.
[ Not trolling you, just saying something that is anecdotal, but probably actually wrong. ]
On the other hand... Seems Trump is trying very hard to prove that trade wars are "easy to win."

I won't be sad when the current round of political stupidity ends.

Again, the point of the robots is that they are selective in what they kill.
So are T-800 and T-1000.

The UX design of Edge is atrocious. Like maybe they didn't even use a UX team bad.
They used part of a UX design team, but kicked out all the shadier members. :-)

Make America Great Again. That President Trump sure goes out of his way for the forgotten people of America.
What do you think going to happen to US agricultural sector when China inevitably retaliates for US torpedoing ZTE?
Of course, this actually has nothing to do with the Trumped-up trade war with China. ZTE is in trouble with the US because they illegally shipped telco equipment to Iran and North Korea, broke US law and lied to the US Government. From Secretary Ross Announces Activation of ZTE Denial Order in Response to Repeated False Statements to the U.S. Government
In March 2017, ZTE agreed to a combined civil and criminal penalty and forfeiture of $1.19 billion after illegally shipping telecommunications equipment to Iran and North Korea, making false statements, and obstructing justice including through preventing disclosure to and affirmatively misleading the U.S. Government.

OK. "Broadcast" then. Happy now?
Yes. In any case, anything would be better than "shoot". From TFA:
The electrical system can then shoot the signal out to a smartphone app, like a prospector screaming upon striking oil.
Pretty sure no one wants anything shooting out of their abdomen.
And, the screaming prospector part is just ridiculous. TFA author is a moron.
The idea is you're sent in to deal with a shooter at a school, ...
How many points do you get for staying outside and hiding behind a dumpster?

That is why I only use Alexa in my bathroom where I do not typically have private conversations.
Sure. I imagine that "You can do it little buddy!" is more of a pep-talk than a conversation. :-)
I don't claim to be able to identify whole body nudes. Just labia, those are like fingerprints.
So are ears.
Pro Tip: Don't confuse labia and ears.
The question to ask, as both a taxpayer and an IT guy is this: What's the "penalty" for failing to make the October deadline?
You have to manage a network using McAfee HBSS.
