Re: "Journey of Improvement"
Dare I ask how that is typically used within a sentence?!

Why do you keep saying tech.report?
And surely you're aware that there were a gazillion electoral fraud cases brought to caught by Trump's cronies and the common pattern was that Guliani, Sidney Powell et al would stand outside the court and say they had lots of evidence, file case papers with no evidence, the case would be thrown out due to no evidence and then they would stand outside and continue with their previous bleating about a stolen election to push their domestic political agenda.
They've had countless opportunities to provide some actual evidence. Give it up.
> That particular nasty flaw in the English legal system is why protection against it was written into the US constitution.
No it isn't.
The US constitution was written centuries before this 'particular nasty flaw' was introduced into the English legal system, in the Criminal Justice Act 2003.
> 6.9 million users had their data compromised after some 14,000 accounts were broken into via credential stuffing
It's ridiculous to blame customers recyling credentials for this data leak and shame on the so-called security professionals for doing so.
If that was the only problem, there would only be 14,000 users with data compromised.
It's a bold move. Encryption standards become obsolete over time. Who knows what novel techniques or processing power will be available in twenty years? How will quantum computers affect present-day encryption?
You'd be very trusting to assume that your encrypted data is safe forever.
You're just revealing you didn't read the article properly. I'll help:
"store each intercepted, recorded, and downloaded copy of text messages in non-temporary computer memory in such a manner that the vehicle owner *cannot access it or delete it*"
Except he's also explicitly admitted that he lets bills proposed by his (inevitable right wing) friends in parliament sail through, so mysteriously it's only the progressive bills with a social justice angle that fall foul of his parliamentary games. He's a pompous bellend of the highest order.
I switched to iPhone from Android because I was tired of my usable phones running out of security updates and wanted to continue using them for things like internet banking.
Apple is in a league of its own on this front, still updating very old models. Although Google and Samsung subsequently announced a slightly improved policy, they still lag considerably, both in the length of the upgrade cycle and the scope of the updates.
I'm happy to trade inferior specs for security.
> Unity's share price, which was $38.97 before it changed pricing plans, ... , bounced from $29.56 to $30.11 in after-the-bell trading – suggesting investors are quite happy with the changes.
Just as a general reporting note, I don't think we can draw any strong conclusions about investor sentiment from a change in the share price of <2%. It's hardly moved, which suggests indifference.
Once you start to remove the convenience of mobile banking, mobile email etc. you're really cutting back on key functionality for your smartphone. Mobile websites are not comparable in experience to good quality native apps.
But hey, if you want to run the risk of being hit by an exploit, knock yourself out. Most people deserve and should expect security updates for their phone.
> I'd be more comfortable if the systems were SAE level 3 or higher - but AFAIK no level 3 systems are currently offered to the public?
Mercedes-Benz are ahead of Tesla and have just had a Level 3 system certified

> "I gave him a length of CAT6, two RJ45s and a crimping kit and asked him to make me 1m patch lead...he could not do it...but he has been led to believe by his lecturers that he is ready for a management position in the tech industry"
How often do you think managers in the tech industry have to do this? It's utterly irrelevant to the job.
"The NAO said the program had been affected by the UK's departure from the EU and the COVID-19 pandemic, which meant resources had to be diverted to other areas."
You are ignoring the above: the government massively increased the workload on the civil service, while simultaneously crowing about how it was being shrunk down to 1930's levels.
Exactly, you can't expect the man on the street to know the limitations of an aeroplane autopilot.
Auto pilot = automatic pilot.
Automatic = (of a device or process) working by itself with little or no direct human control.
"an automatic kettle that switches itself off when it boils"
It's a completely reasonable expectation to hold based on the deliberately misleading name.
Only just real terms increases, and far below the rate of increase of demand for its services.
The proportion of the population over 65 is rapidly increasing, where most healthcare demand lies. The collapse of social care is sucking resources from the NHS indirectly and directly and modern treatments cost more money.
The NHS ranks well with competitors for value for money - we spend far lower as a % of GDP than comparable countries. It's a miracle it still works at all.
> Making friendships at work is unhealthy and toxic. Don't do that.
What? You sound like some sort of asocial basement dweller when you come out with blanket statements like that.
Faking a friendship at work is unhealthy and toxic.
If you're lucky enough to work somewhere full of awesome people, making friends is normal human behaviour.
Some of my closest friends are people I worked with 5 or 10 years ago where we just clicked instantly - I can't understand why you would deprive yourself of the possibility of enriching your life with awesome people, just because you happened to meet them at work.
It's great for reliable and auditable international transfers.
No eye-watering fees when sending money to a less common destination and none of the bullshit we had once with a high street bank sending the money to an overseas branch, it not arriving, and having systems incapable of finding out what the problem was.
