I despise the fact that we keep having to review the settings for new shit that needs to be turned off.

When I was on vacation in Central America, I saw how popular these things were, and knew they’d never received an update from the day they were made… It was only a matter of time.

Heh. My TV has never been online, not even once. I’d rather suffer the occasional firmware bug than have it act as a sensor.

Never heard of it. Back to TPB.

Upvoting for Streisand Effect. ;)

Yeah, I can read this both ways, but I’ll assume that since he’s a CEO, it’s the way that makes him sound like a flaming dickhole.

Man, the total and complete lack of self awareness… It would be hilarious if it wasn’t tragic…

The document thief himself bitching about stolen documents getting leaked… Damn, you can’t dream this shit up on shrooms.

This meshes with the news that Boeing is run by accountants, not engineers, like it used to be.

Uh, between SolarWinds and XZ and the supply chain attacks being conducted by the NSA that were revealed by Snowden… They already know.

The whole point to Endpoint Protection is to quickly and easily send updates to block currently exploited vulnerabilities to the systems most likely to be affected. Adding a delay for in-house QA testing (and the associated costs) doesn’t make any sense.

Uh… So who is paying for that right now?

I wonder if you could attract the victims of disinformation/misinformation by using the same methods… “80% of people fail this test - can you figure it out?”

To add to this, self-hosting is also best when you minimize everything - limited service, with limited functionality, on dedicated hardware that doesn’t share access to your internal network or storage. Folks who use point-and-click apps to install a half dozen unauthenticated docker containers, all open to the internet, running on the same PC they store the only copy of their family photos and music/movie collection on… make me crazy.

You’re getting money back from a scam. Be happy you got anything at all.

A lot of time, effort, and money could have been saved by responding with “Sign a message on the blockchain with your keys or GTFO.” Oh, you lost your keys to those very earliest blocks? GTFO. But you have an eMail? GTFO.

TL;DR: Horny people don’t read privacy policies.

“I can’t believe that the cheap, sketchy, unregulated hotel from some website on the internet that I stayed in behaved in an unprofessional manner” says a chorus of ignorant morons.

If you don’t like how your non-hotel is treating you, consider staying at an actual hotel next time.

That’s stupid. You should be doing everything you can to get them to visit the USA… So you can arrest them, jail them, then exploit them.

“Citizens call for solutions to access police records in serious crime cases”

All the reasons that government won’t use backdoored encryption are all the reasons WE can’t use backdoored encryption.

Not strictly teh ciberrz, but upgrading to OpenBSD 7.5. Might rebuild a mail server this weekend.
