I fully expect my first electric car will, when it arrives, be a Hyundai or Renault/Nissan, or somesuch from a company that builds cars which happen to have an electric drivetrain, rather than whatever this shit is.

Well, tapes have the ability to be easily removed, which is their killer feature vis-a-vis malware.

Malware authors are already adding hooks to delete data from Glacier, Netbackup, and other popular backup tools. If it's online, it's toast.

"Zero assumption" would have been a better phrase, but that horse is not just out of the stable, he's met a nice lady horse and is raising a family of foals and grand-foals.

The thing is that over-focus on perimeter security is still a huge problem, and one reason that e.g. ransomware owns orgs with depressing regularity. There's nothing wrong with perimeter controls in and of themselves. But they become

Close to a million people have died in the US. That is a pretty important point in the labour market, quite aside from the brutal human cost. The people demanding "let 'er rip" got what they wanted - mass death to avoid perso

The most frustrating thing in Apple Music for me is that it's album-centric. I can't just say "put this artist in my library". No, I have to put every individual album, EP, and single that I want.

I used to use Tidal for the same reason, but the ongoing MQA debacle pushed me over to Music. I have to say that I preferred Tidal's recommendations.

Hangouts was, for a time, fantastic. Integrated SMS/rich messaging (like iMessage). Seamless video calling. Spot on. Then they started gutting bits of it with no apparent reason beyond supporting empire building by other teams.
