If so then lawyer up and drop the hammer.

A Logic Named Joe: The 1946 sci-fi short that nailed modern tech
I think I read this story
I read a LOT of old sci-fi when I was younger and still do. So much that I can't keep up with authors or even book titles any more. But the stories? Yeah, I still remember the stories.
I find it odd that of almost all the sci-fi ever written, it's been the dystopias that seem to have come to pass. Very odd indeed.
Even more odd is the fact that most of the public libraries where I live have very small sci-fi sections and a serious shortage of the old masters. You would think it was a conspiracy of some kind.

DARPA to geeks: Weaponize your toasters … for America!
Re: "DARPA's mission is to create strategic surprise"
Going a little farther off topic, that $4 trillion spent of the 10 year war would have rebuilt a lot of infrastructure and provide a lot of local jobs.
But it pales in comparison to the $26 trillion given to Wall St as a reward for their failure.
At least DARPA produces things we all can eventually use. Wall St? Not so much. The last security derivative I used was fit only for toilet paper. Literally.
Right?
I really don't understand the purpose of this DARPA project. I mean why don't they do what everyone else does and just contract it out to some overseas country whose name(s) shall remain anonymous for now and get the same results results everyone gets? A shit product that is already vulnerable.
I'm shocked that DARPA is this behind the times.
Rocky times for startups: Mutual funds devalue and VCs turn off money hose
Re: Tonight we're going to party like... Hey, my free music disruptor is offline.
Investors buy it then sell at a profit to a bigger sucker. Repeat as long as it looks like the game will keep playing.
Here's the dirty secret: In order to sell your over-hyped no-profit white elephant tech company, you first have to know the right people. Almost all those no-name companies being bought for stupid amounts of money by brand name companies all have pretty much one thing in common: someone knew someone. The RIGHT someone and has known them for some time. Plus there may be internal brinkmanship at the brand name company that motivates the purchase as well.
In other words, no matter how cool yours or my tech may be, we will never get rich like that because we do not move in the right circles, know the right people or have the right school ties.
And thus it ever was. Sure, there are exceptions, but that's all they are. Rare exceptions.
You say I mustn’t write down my password? Let me make a note of that
Who can blame them?
As an IT pro, I have well over ~20 passwords I have to remember everyday at work and home. The average user doesn't stand a chance.
They can't even use the same one across all logons and sometimes not even variations!
Single sign on systems? Great idea but still far to complicated for the average user.
Until we get serious about user competence, they will always be the biggest vulnerability. And the only way to fix that is to educate them.
Microsoft adds 'non-security updates' to security patches
Re: It didn't happen to me
The issue here isn't Windows but the IT department behind that persons company,
No, the issue is that most small businesses have NO IT dept and never will. There is no budget for it. Not even the once a month visiting tech.
These size businesses make up the larger part of the everyday business world and they are NOT tech savvy.
Re: "we will just add another nail to the coffin"
Not me. I realised that the coffin was becoming more metal than wood, therefore not structurally sound. So I bent all my nails and fashioned a chain out of them.
Windows 10 (and Microsoft along with it) are now in a sack, wrapped in chains, at the bottom of an abandoned, flooded quarry.
I might through a few rocks in, though. Just in case.
I'd get some garlic, a cross, some stakes and a sliver bullet just in case.
Seriously.
