Re: 24 known zero days.

there are thousands out there, but only 24 were discovered being exploited in the wild.

TBF for some of the 24, while fixing the existing one, they found a couple of related ones and patched them too.

Re: Abandoned???

Do i seriously have to dig out my Nokia Hammer analogy again.

C compilers allow all those things, as C's main job is manipulating hardware resources, and depending on your use case, you may have to do those things in order to get the system to do the job it needs to do.

Re: GDPR

no it wasn't

GDPR does not and never did directly apply to the uk

the Data Protection Act 2018 however implements the controls as listed in the version of the GDPR on its date of publication.

Re: Not just Tenable

Checkm8 - people can't afford the new shiny

I've done this comparison in the past,

you need to compare apples with apples.

App sales are equivalent of an online marketplace IE Amazon Marketplace, Ebay, which charge (all told) IRO 15% on purchases

In game currency is basicaly payment processing, so looking at Square, Paypal, Worldpay, etc.

you are looking at around 7.5%

Google have half (if their lucky) a leg to stand on, as other stores are allowed, but apple have none, as they dont allow any other store on their platform.

Re: As long as the UK doesn't copy it

Because Shiney, "its got an apple logo on it, so its better than whatever you have"

Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, OnePlus, Huawei, TCL(Alacatel,blackberry), Lenovo(Motorola) all make very good phones at a fraction of the cost, but 50% of right pondians and 60% of left pondians wont buy anything without the fruit based logo

Re: Gigabit Broadband

Same with 5G

if everyone could get 10Mbps and 3G it might be worth pushing 1Gbps and 5G, but the so called Universal Service Obligation, is starting to look like a most people something, if you feel like it.

IIRC BT were gearing up to roll out fibre everywhere in the 90s before HMG flogged their remaining 50% they even built fibre fabs in ipswich and birmingham

Re: I fail to see the problem

the answer is not detecting the defects and fixing them

the answer is not making the defects in the first place.

this is why you need programmers and engineers, not coders.

Virgin are owned By Liberty Global - says everythiing USAians need to know.

In the UK most people have 2 choices, get something down the withering OpenBreach(Kingston if your in Hull) Copper lines or over Virgin Fibre/COAX network, where available

The rare happy few have a third party provider with their own fibre and a decent service, at a not unreasonable cost. (GigaClear, CityFibre, Hyperoptic, B4RN, and others)

the less-rare unhappy ones either dont have a phone line thats reliable enough to get a connection, are uneconomical to provide to and have to resort to Mobile Internet, if not in a blackspot, or god-forbid Satelite broadband to satisfy their need

Re: And so Conquests Second Law is proved true yet again..

what you have to understand is that your speech is free, but so is anyone elses

It just so happens that society in america has become so polarised, and your identity defined by Red or Blue, there are no longer shades, there is no purple.

Each exists in its own bubble with out the other, where its view is re-inforced by opinions drressed as facts.

There are now at least 3 sides to every story: yours; mine and the cold hard truth. with the algortihms and partisan media, all that matters to you is yours and all that matters to me is mine, and the truth ceases to be.

Re: The great thing about British courts ...

IOW, the courts interpret the law, parliment makes it.

Precedent is great, it fixes all the grey areas,

if i higher court have made a decison like this use it to guide this decision, the problem comes when precident is wrong, and you need to persue it to the top to change it.....

Re: As of December 2020 Apple has a market cap of $2.081 T

I stuggle to find your point, as you are fully contradicting yourself. firstly you need to compare apples and apples, thew a51 probably competes with the SE, but you have to look at the S Series to compare to the iPhone.

OS to OS, iOS counts for 2.69% of mobiles in india, Android 96.28%

Vendor wise Xiaomi have 27.32%, Samsung 20.1% Vivo 13.62% Oppo 11% Realme 8.62% and Apple a lowly 2.69%

(latest from statcounter)

but with the smartphone market penetration at a lowly 36.7% there are a lot of indians who have multiple mobiles and a lot more that dont have any

Re: Security model is upside down so they can't implement SSO

NHS records are not online, the only things that are available across the entire NHS (if you can say such a thing still exists) are the Summary care record (which you can opt out of) and the demographic data linked to your NHS Number.

The actual detail of your record is maintained in a miriad of diferent systems, that are generally completley incompatable with each other,) held and operated by GPs, Hospitals, Community Teams, Support Units and other entities that you deal with and the transfer of which is covered by a miriad of controller/processor and controller/controller agreements.

The majority of your information is stored in your GP record, and this gets shuttled around the country when you move doctors or a specialist needs the detail.

This information is dicom images. these are ultrasounds, xrays, cts etc they are transfered in a common format, which is constantly maintained and updated, the current version 2020d, there are usually 5 a year, its even has an ISO Standard 12052.

As with all standards, the majority of issues are not with the actual standard, but its implementation.

This specific incident is more down to an imaging system and vendor implementation. Normally if these are stored in the cloud the demographics are stripped from the images before they leave the organisation and replaced with a unique reference.
