Big Tech files anti-Trump brief: Immigration ban illegal and damaging to business

Interesting read, Taaa!

Never heard of him.

But from my perspective working years ago for a machinery/removal company and if you remember the 'knicker' outrage from M&S and the loss of sales it caused them, I know to this day people that sowed those knickers at 55 pence an item and cost £9.99 a pair at least at the checkout, when those greedy gits at M&S wanted them produced for a measly 5 pence less and the company producing said no and all of it went out of the UK, I personally shipped two weaving plants from my area alone.

So depressing to work alongside a former employee of the plant at the village of Manlleu Spain, now doing security as we packed it all up to ship to another country, all those jobs lost and the company was Platt Saco Lowell if any want to fact check, was a major employer of local people with families to support, nuff said!

A non-Standards Soviet approved measure of weight? Sod off, BBC!

LOL you guys/gals

Watching the footage of Doris Johnson MP this morning getting hit in the face with a mic, I wonder what the measurement/unit of force was involved, can you quantify? A salamander slap or two maybe or a whack from a cat's tail?

Can't of been much of a force by his lack of reaction or is accustomed to big brightly coloured things regularly shoved in his face, don't really want to know BTW, just in case someone replies, please, please don't.

What do you believe? So much more to read, can't be arsed to post all the links if you are at all interested go find them for yourself, plenty of links in the articles to keep a bored person occupied for a while.

Sick of fake news, Russian hacking (Bollocks), some prick clicked on an attachment or something they shouldn't have done in probably 99% of the breaches, Sky news aired it as well, no banging on about those missing Clinton e-mails though and Russian involvement in that, was there?

Don't know what to believe anymore, and that's the really scary thing.

Hope Italy and France leave the EUless, hoping Le Penn gets in too and the Deutschbag gets booted out.

Re: Amazing what you find when you poke around!

Bravo, indeed excellent! There's so much more though the mind just boggles, interesting to hear what others think and how our political landscape is changing, isn't it?

Only problem is that a lot of the articles you're directed to aren't written by UF's are they and a lot is very thought provoking, hard to fact check too and disturbing on so many levels.

This would do the trick.

Trump's immigration clampdown has Silicon Valley techies fearing for their house prices

I agree!

Funny when Asian tourists are told It's safer to go to Moscow than Paris, to see a bit of Europe's architecture and culture, Tourism is down a shit load in Paris and who could blame them.

The louvre has been a problem for a long time with pick pocket's targeting visitors and maybe the guy was refused entry, so was pissed and attacked cos he was refused entry. They have CCTV of regulars, they ain't there to visit ya no! Screening works to a degree, time to clean house.

The old Opera browser had an auto fit to screen but a zoom slider too so you could override the resolution and make the page bigger, don't know if any other browsers have this?

Re: Google too much in my face

Don't they gather info too, like Google and send it back to China?

In 2016 computer security researchers from Fidelis Cybersecurity and Exatel discovered the browser surreptitiously sending sensitive browsing and system data—such as ad blocker status, websites visited, searches conducted and applications installed with their version numbers—to remote servers located in Beijing, China. According to Maxthon, the data is sent as part of the company's 'User Experience Improvement Program' and that it is "voluntary and totally anonymous." However, researchers found the data still being collected and transmitted to remote servers even after users explicitly opted-out of the program. The researchers further found the data being transmitted over an unencrypted connection (HTTP), leaving users vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks. Fidelis' Chief Security Officer, Justin Harvey, noted the data "...contains almost everything you would want in conducting a reconnaissance operation to know exactly where to attack. Knowing the exact operating system and installed applications, and browsing habits it would be trivial to send a perfectly crafted spearphish to the victim or perhaps set up a watering hole attack on one of their most frequented websites.

I prefer Firefox with whatever changes they make to the rest.

Don't worry, America: Elon Musk says he'll have a word with Trump

Baldy50

Face it!

In the first three weeks of January, this year in Chicago 221 people were shot and 42 of those were fatalities, I think the last thing the US needs are any terrorists, they've got enough home grown problems to deal with.

But this is not the answer and sends the wrong message in a big way.

Helping a friend the other day and he was taken aback by one of my thumbnails 'The Israeli Times', I mean why shouldn't I read it?

If I could sue the mobile company for selling my number to these numpties ringing me up asking if I'd had PPI or telling me I'd been involved in an MV accident, 33 years no claims to date and my usual response is "If I was at the other end of the phone, It's you that would be involved in an accident", (on purpose), my fist your face and a completely random unexplained muscle spasm, out of the blue.

If you give your mobile number and the rest of your info to them what do you expect' Duh!

Europol cop took terror dossier home, flashed it to the web accidentally

Baldy50

From the El Reg article today:-

Still too much discretion when it comes to that 'terrorism' stuff, repeats David Anderson QC.

And the Quoted text:-Where privacy campaigners have stated their concerns about an excess of information flowing between EU member states and the UK, security agencies have warned about Brexit's disruptive effects on counter-terrorism collaborations between the UK and EU.

Earlier this year – a solid month before the story was picked up by the nationals – we reported how Europol's acting head of strategy warned that the UK would "certainly be cut off from the full intelligence picture" after Brexit.

Think We'd be better off not sharing shit with them anyway.

Remember the dosy Euro cop putting spysoft on the laptop his daughter used and getting it hacked? Forgetting he also used it for work now and then also leaking a ton of stuff!

Although normally invisible to a power circuit until an over voltage event, I don't know how they may effect signals at high frequencies even though they are not in series, have low capacitive/inductive properties. They are very small, so could be attached directly to the socket.

I wonder how long one of these USBKill devices would survive being essentially shorted out?

The relay failed because it was one in constant use, possibly most of the others were used to switch something on and this would be a failsafe for a complete panel failure, the relays operating the sirens might be configured this way too but no contact current flow and No. 18 could have had to deal with supplying the power to large electromagnets 24/7.

Sorry, but why do people insist that the BS 1361 in the plug must be 3 Amp?

According to the NICEIC regs to BS7671 it does not and a 13 Amp will do, all BS rated bulb holders are rated at 16 Amps.
