You've forgotten the (/s), since @bombastic bob is known for his pathological hate of Win-10-nic.

Difficult to see that not leading to a landmark judgement about the liability of software.
We humans are, frankly, assholes, because we only learn when people die. Cars, aircraft, and now software. Why not get it right the first time?
Could be different for the Ethiopian flight which, unfortunately, had UN people on board, and where the flight recorder could end up in Paris.
Is it not unfortunate that the Ethiopians were onboard as well? I'm not following here.
First, there are the trio of CVE-2019-0697, CVE-2019-0698, and CVE-2019-0726, all covering holes present in the DHCP server component for Windows. Each of the flaws would potentially allow an attacker on the local network to achieve remote code execution on a targeted machine simply by sending a malformed DHCP network packet.
I'd swear I've seen this before ... and in an article on El Reg no less ...
Doesn't M$ learn?
They *FEEL* (not think) that _EMOJIS_ are more important than KERNEL FIXES???
To a PR entity facing lusers (the "Insider Team"), they are more important! (see icon)
And while emojis are a fad, they actually help communicating the emotion associated with some sentence, to prevent a joke from being taken seriously, to point out one example. I used to hate them, but not any longer.
VirtualBox uses QEMU code, but is not a QEMU fork. While VirtualBox is faster, QEMU actually adheres to the UNIX philosophy (the "do one thing and do it well" one). VirtualBox IMO is the systemd of virtualization.
And yep, you can specify multiple cores, with a number of cores that can be higher than the host (the option is -smp <NUMBER>.
A good response to this is that QEMU is kept under Git source control. One can get the "last known good" build (without KVM), fork it into a new branch, say "QEMU Legacy", and develop onto that.
That's how many open source projects started ... fork for keeping legacy compatibility (MATE started as a GNOME 2 fork in response to GNOME 3).
Cool. We're in the same boat then, and I consider myself to be an expert on this particular issue.
1. Sell it for whatever money it gets you, no matter how little. This would be equivalent to having a random passerby on the street give you $5/$10/$20 for nothing, because you were going to dump it for $0 anyhow.
2. Use it as a remote control, especially if it has an IR blaster, especially popular around that exact period (2014 - Android 4.4 era), so chances are that you have that. I'm literally dying for a modern phone that has one!
If it doesn't have an IR blaster, you can use Wi-Fi and an app installed on the device you want to control (limits your device-to-control choices from "almost everything" to "laptop connected to TV)
As I quite often say, forget the folk paying hundreds of dollars for a touchscreen remote control like the Logitech Harmony stuff ... you already have one laying around.
3. Related to #2 above ... you can turn it into a Bluetooth mouse and/or keyboard (but requires that both phone and laptop support BT 4.0 LE -OR if unavailable- joining the same Wi-Fi connection on both and using a companion program on the laptop)
4. Good processor? Chances are that it'd be a Snapdragon. These are less bothersome in terms of (binary, closed source, "blob") drivers, so you can possibly port LineageOS to it yourself. Not difficult, with lots of guides around, especially if there's another similar device with the same chipset and a working LineageOS.
5. You can even run Linux on Android phones, either via chroot on top of the existing Android -with or without needing root access on Android- or as a whole (real) OS (as in porting Sailfish OS ... both of which are quite easier than it sounds).
The overwhelming majority of those are the 39 arbitrary code execution vulnerabilities in Acrobat and Reader. In each case, the attacker could execute code on the target machine by convincing the user to open up a poisoned PDF file.
If it was PDF, then won't every single PDF client in known existence be affected?
In that case, what would average Jo{e,anne} with their locked-down Android and preinstalled system PDF reader do?
Is jumping off a skyscraper justified because everybody is doing it?
US et al and their missiles might've "done wrong", but does that justify doing another "wrong"?
all countries have always been governed by interests and not by principles.
Depends on the interests and principles involved, but I agree to a certain degree.
From the article:
* Despite the English transliteration of its name, RBK is a business news wire and not a consultancy.
I don't speak Russian (though I really wish I did), but couldn't be like an English newspaper called "The Consultant"?
Well, thinking of it, it's like El Reg itself. A Russian may go like:
Despite the Russian transliteration of its name, The Register is a tech news wire and not a CPU register.
So far Russia has built a local DNS copy to allow its internet to keep working if local officials pull the plug on connectivity to the rest of the world.
Assuming it's a copy of all DNS entries, both Russia and outside, why is a copy of (non-Russian) website DNS entries necessary for a Russian intranet?
I think there's something more to this.
Can't "unknown" websites w/o suitable DNS entries be simply returned with a HTTP 503 Temporarily Unavailable?
I think it's just like that; he speaks with parenthesis included (even with nested parenthesis (even nested, nested parenthesis) (a great talent (a huge talent), the best there is (the Donald is great (the best) at it)).
No, he's being a programmer using recursive calls:
x = doFunction1(y, doFunction2(doFunction1(a, b), z, doFunction3(c, d)))
EDIT: Seems that @Rich 11 has beaten me to it xD
Just wait until both sets of parents insist on being there for the first sexual encounter to offer tips and commentary.
Something similar to this used to happen in the Middle East, despite being clearly morally wrong and opposed to the two religions (Islam and Christianity). One parent would stand behind the door while the newly-wed couple did their thing.
This practice is as dead as a zombie though, with people having grown up.
AFAIK the AMD PCnet chip works natively, out of the box.
