- jeroenhd 3y agoThe linked article says Microsoft will offer a setting to enable NTLM again. They only seem to be changing the default for now. My guess is that Windows 11 will disable NTLM out of the box and perhaps Windows 12 will disable it entirely.
- acdha 3y agoWhat would be nice would be if they could allow it only for RFC 1918 addresses with a IP TTL of one – allow the local doughnut shop to keep their old printer a bit longer with a warning but force slacker corp not to keeping procrastinating.
- jeroenhd 3y agoIf this does happen, I wouldn't be surprised if someone would start selling dirt cheap "printer upgrade boxes" in the form of small Linux computers with two ethernet ports (or maybe a USB port and an ethernet port, and a WiFi access point especially for the printer) that just run Samba. If the printer is directly attached to the box, they wouldn't even introduce severe security vulnerabilities. Hell, this could be sold as some kind of firewall solution with a $3/mo "enterprise" subscription. Someone can make money with this!

- jeroenhd 3y agoYes, but more modern. This thing features operating systems old enough that I doubt the protocols it speaks to computers is modern enough to be secure. I knew these devices were out there, but not every network printer works as well over USB as it does over the network.
