When it comes to cybercrime, it's a prospect of "how much time & money will it take to make X dollars" Maybe at one point in the future, purchase of theoretical MITM devices and deploying them in a dragnet of free wifi ac

I wonder if it's already possible to do this without a new button. If a lot of people close to you in your social network react "angry" to something and you choose to share it, there's a good chance you're sharing i

Apple still provides security fixes for phones as old as the iphone 5s, which was released almost 6 years ago. I don't think that's even remotely comparable to the fragmentation problems Android has where you're lucky to get

Because historically the old mac pro was a more than a 6000 dollar toy that only the rich and studios purchase. Apple is basically pissing on all of their old mac pro fans who are getting priced out by this update. I think the "this is
