Re: SAMBA?

The new protocol also conveniently identifies sender and receiver for the three letter agencies. Four letters if in the UK.

AES-128 is "secure" 70 years after 88-bit Enigma was broken in a shed with a bunch of post office rotors.

Demooooplication?

Re: Would it not be cheaper for Google, AWS, Alibaba

The greater the monopoly, the harder it is for the average person to leave.

This isn't a Microsoft thing. It began centuries ago and will remain as long as people are too embedded (or lazy) to go elsewhere.

Decentralized services are the key, but the accountants want one simplified payment, once a month.

Re: Lesson on use of the sed command

"Thus, messages on accuracy and validity can appear on media to warn people of fake info."

That's Twitter sorted.

Next, FOX News.

"(and cheekily refers to that improvement a "Frore’s Law")"

Unless this term has been approved by TheReg Soviet, it is not valid in this context.

"adding time-based locks to accounts, so that someone can't hijack an admin user out of hours;"

Brilliant. So if there is a breach you can only handle it 9 - 5, M - F? Written by some genius with a university IT diploma.

Lock out all admin accounts, all day long, Problem solved. FFS.

Re: time diff

"And gnu diff can do it in how many microseconds?"

gnu diff does not update your NSA / Homeland Security file with what you inquired about, check you are not on the FBI Most Wanted List or scan for keywords the other three letter agencies may be interested in.

Re: Security not

Crashed alien UFO's use Windows 95? You heard it here first folks.

Re: RCS

"Everyone wants Apple to join, and Apple continues to say no. There'll be 1bn people using RCS by the end of the year, it's estimated."

Yes, but none of those people are paying Apple any money so they do not exist in their eyes.

Re: I wonder…

I asked Bing Chat AI to distill the following into a single sentence giving it context on who said it and why.

"To remain a consequential company, we must maintain a leadership position in our at-scale businesses of today, generating enough yield to invest and lead in the next wave, while staying on the frontiers of both performance and efficiency. That is the context in which we're making decisions and investing in our people, our business, and our future."

The result:

"CEO who made millions in bonuses freezes staff salaries, claiming it's necessary for the company's future."

Maybe AI is the saviour of mankind.

Theranos came after ENRON, Bernie Madoff and the 2008 collapse of the stock market.

The only lesson to learn is you have to do your own due dilagence.

Re: Nothing to see here, everything is good. How are you?

"The document also instructs employees to "not engage" with members of the media inquiring about the job cuts and says to "pass them directly" to Sonatype's global marketing chief Katy Hiller."

Show the company the same loyalty they showed you.

Re: @Snake - Oh, look

That's not capitalism. That's piracy.

If the CEO gets a 600% bonus then everyone under him should as well. He didn't do it alone and in most cases the company did in in spite of any "leader."

My enterprise farm of Windows Servers needs the best quality XBox Game Bar code or I just can't get up in the morning.

Re: The phone privacy fallacy

"A Qualcomm spokesperson disputed the research."

A corporate spokesperson criticizing empirical research because it makes them look bad? I'm shocked! Shocked, I tells you.

Re: Not for profit

No public updates for two decades. That's when they got the contract for working on crashed alien UFO's at Area S-4 in Nevada.

Can't talk about that though.

I suspect the BOFH Boss will end up in one of those tanks soon. Coroner found drowning with him found wearing bathing trunks, a mask and snorkel.

Tragic.

Re: Let me see now …

Microsoft wants the digital ID so they can index us with a single ID. All that meta data, email content and web browsing, all under one ID they can sell onto third parties.

"I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered!" Sound familiar?

PS. If it does become popular you can guarantee a monthly fee to 'maintain' your identity.

Re: Alternative headline

"Among the attendees were Apple's Tim Cook, Qualcomm's Cristiano Amon, and Samsung's Executive Chairman Lee Jae-yong, who all met with government officials at some point during their visit while most spoke enthusiastically about business in the Middle Kingdom."

Can you guess the three companies I will no longer do business with? You can add Disney as well.
