Another really cool trick it plays is that it enables Secure Input, as it should, but then never disables it. So it breaks 3rd party tools that expand shortcuts, automate UI actions, etc. like TextExpander, which I use a lot.

Personally, I'm more interested in the perception than in the sorts of defensiveness that I'm seeing in response. Sure, statistically, most visitors aren't going to have any problem with our screwed up police. But remember t

You didn't ask me, but, several things: - This is the second serious security incident with them. Nobody's immune to bugs, but I haven't seen a similar history with AgileBits. - LastPass has, IMHO, terrible UI/UX. Things

I fail to understand on a number of levels. Which new world order are we talking about here? There are a number of things with that moniker. Education inexorably leads to embracing this one (whichever it is)? If you don't get some perc

Buddy, I would heartily encourage you to believe whatever you makes you happy. Your insult is false and petty, and I think you're pretty wrong about the rest of that. I personally consider it pretty disingenuous to call a fault that d

Best at what? What is driving you to want to switch? I like Icinga a lot. I won't bother reviewing it; is is very well known. Professionally, my last two gigs have used Zabbix. Zabbix, architecturally, is a nightmare. Uses an RDBMS for

Hey, it is your data. I personally don't like gambling with mine, but yours is none of my business. Again, I don't know how many people out there buy other products with a nearly 1 in 10 chance of undetectably not performing the f

I agree on the last part, and I think the particular weirdness here is a result of ZFS historically mentioning the value of ECC a lot more than other FSes. I think this probably makes people think that ZFS in some way depends on it more tha

I don't know about anyone else, but when I'm seeking advice about software from people on the internet whom I don't know personally, I tend to weight the words of the authors of the software in question more highly than that

I imagine you're correct about why they quit. I don't see why that has anything to do with what I wrote, any more than I understand the dig at companies seeking publicity. (What could possibly be next? A pop star doing drugs?)

Scarcity in physical objects is rather different than spectrum. For one, market demand encourages things like recycling, more exploration, etc. for platinum. Spectrum scarcity encourages more efficient use, but until we get our promised phy

Sure. "Silly" is in the eye of the beholder, of course, and I do think successfully executing the "launch" of an exploit is probably a great career move. I still think it is silly. I'm less convinced the trend has a

Name calling? Come on. I'm not really a fan of the trend of "branding" vulnerabilities, but it is just harmless silliness, and substantially less inflammatory than security industry smack-talking norms from not too long ago.

The AC68U is hackable and overall a pretty reasonable device. The only issue I've seen was that it had some weirdness with power levels with some revision of the Merlin firmware (I forget which one), in which it would report much highe
