>Your issue however also ties in to what the article said about how Apple does not auto update Safari. You're tied to Safari 12 partially because the upgrade flow is a huge disruptive process as you have to update your entire OS to

I don't think it's about such things, it's about pushing features that are developer convenient but not really user convenient. I'm on an older MacOS version with Safari 12 (too lazy to update, but that's on me), an

Few points: 1. To turn it on/off means they're still tracking it somehow regardless. I'm not logged into any google service on my machine right now, and yet disabling the features on the link above returned that it was turned

Really? What kind of staff are you talking about and what new implementations did they resist you on? And why? I'm curious cause while I'm not on my company's security team, due to heightened awareness and wanting to ensure w

I've not used inspec but since I intercept a lot of security related concerns/complaints from my client base, I decided to try this out with my company's product. Honestly, I'm not impressed, as it's about as it&#x2

Can you explain this a bit more? I'm not sure how it contributes to the motivation for the attackers, as the motivation is already pretty high due to the ease of execution. From my point of view, whether or not there is a legitimate pr

I strongly doubt it's anything to do with booby-trapping. The article was less focused on the physical act of data destruction and more the context of destroying data related to an investigation, which arguably constitutes Destruction,

My business involves working a lot with such situations, and frankly speaking, none of the above would help in the least bit. Cost cutting is probably the biggest threat to most businesses. The mythos of the hyper-converged infrastructure,

If it's just friendships and relationships, then put aside strategies and models. Just ask. "I'm here for you and I want to help; do you want listening, or fixing right now?" The above is not meant as a script, but the i

Not the GP, but I sense a bit of facetiousness from them. They do care about it, but not as much as they propose, I think they simply mean to express their annoyance with DST. I now live in a country that doesn't honor DST, and I have

Why pay to comment on site when someone can just repost it to social media and you can comment there for free? It's a sweet idea, but I don't think it's at all in line with how people think/utilize comments sections.

Not the GP, but I think they are speaking specifically to non-programmers with this statement. It's not about which analyses are more performant/easier in one object versus the other, it's how do you most easily introduce the

I think such situations are really something that needs to be felt out -- I'm not really a programmer, but I know how to code, and in my line of work, it's a benefit for sure. We don't develop projects for external or interna

There really is no such thing as a dedicated burner. you don't even need NSA level threat vectors for most phone sim purchases in western countries to exfiltrate tons of user data. Wifi is even worse, not better..

What makes you think we don't? :) We try to be very transparent about whether or not something's on the roadmap, or why it's not when it's not. The point I was trying to make is that often, the power users don't tak

The so called power users, like any other, have many facets. Sometimes they're quite cooperative and indeed, they push edge cases that other users simply don't, advance powerful workflows using your tooling you never thought of, e

I think the simplest explanation is that the authors themselves never considered the other options or were even aware of them -- they simply are sharing some historical knowledge they had. Very kind and good behavior! But I would imagine it

I mean, you say all this, but more or less these are the same complaints I hear from even seasoned IT professionals every single day when it comes to security. Even the "the key is in my coat" is not a joke at all -- I've had

You're focusing on the wrong part. The contention from iSH and many other posters in the thread is about AppStore rules being inconsistent which in turn makes it unsustainable as per the GP. The comment is that it's clearly sustai

It's only dishonest in that the words in the manual are static and not changing, while our moods, attitudes, and maturity are. What you write down even during the calmest and most level-headed of times is not true 100% of the time and

That's not a feature. That's a bribe from Microsoft to use Bing. It's not sustainable and even if it's a temporary gain for now, it's the wrong incentive to use an opposing search engine. I am not suggesting only us
