Cloud providers don't store stuff in a literal cloud, so it follows that they too must worry about their own physical devices. If you agree that FDE is good for physical access to lost/stolen devices and cryptographic erasure, I&#

Faith healing has heavy religious tones. Yet not everyone who responds positively to a placebo is religious. So, it feels sort of weird to call the placebo effect some form of faith healing.

While threat modeling, you talk about specific scenarios and specific threats. That does not mean other scenarios and threats don't exist. It just means they aren't the focus of that particular conversion. > In web applicatio

What do you mean "light" version of encryption? Anyways, the improved security comes from the fact that even when the server itself is improperly accessed (maliciously or not), the data you aren't currently accessing remains

I mean, I'm not going to defend the quality of their support. But if your a small company (i.e. no in-house IT) and you have to choose between using the support included with your purchase of QuickBooks or paying a third-party IT compa

QuickBooks online is a very far cry from QuickBooks Enterprise. Like, they aren't even close to the same program.

I'm not sure why the people saying "just switch OS!" can speak generally, but I have to speak specifically to Matlab. Many companies run more than one program, even when one of those programs is Matlab.

Sorry, I should have been more specific. QuickBooks for Mac is not feature-equivilent to QuickBooks Enterprise. You cannot run QuickBooks Enterprise on a Mac, as far as I know, and if you can, it isn't on the supported OS list. > &q

Not officially, therefor not with support.

Matlab is not the only software which businesses use. I'm speaking generally why many companies and employees can't "just switch OS", not specifically to the post.

Neither SolidWorks nor QuickBooks runs in browser. Those two pieces of software are absolutely essential to many companies.

You should be nagging Intuit, Dassault Systèmes, etc. rather than the people that need Windows-only software.

by ziddoap 2y ago
This ignores the large amount of business software which is Windows only. For many companies, and the people that work for them, you simply can't switch even if you are desperate to.
