The N9 is poorly distributed and very expensive, isn't advertised at all, etc. When you buy it you *know* it will be poorly supported because Nokia has abandonned Maemo.
I had no idea the sales were close to the Lumia. This is a huge FAIL for the Lumia, more than a success of the N9.
Moreover, given the huge number of IPv6 adresses, brute-forcing IPs at random isn't possible. So even if you authorized incoming packets by default in your router, you likely wouldn't be bothered by attacks.
And relying only on NAT for "security" is utterly stupid as there are many ways to traverse NATs.
And IPv6 can do better, without all the ugly side-effects of NAT: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4941.txt
> A small business with maybe 10-20 devices on an internal network doesn't care about IPv6.
IPv6 isn't only about having more adresses. For instance, stateless address autoconfiguration is interesting in a local network.
You could get root access to any iOS device from a web page, by redirecting it to a special PDF file. It was unpatched for weeks.
That's pretty significant.
Yep. People who will never be users or contributors, not matter what they say. They're here because they don't do anything meaningful with their lives, so they have to undermine the work of others.
The only winning move is to ignore them.
> If the proprietor stops supporting something and they're all you've got to depend on, you're out of luck left with an ugly choice to run increasingly obsolete code or (apparently needlessly) do without that functionality at all.
And nVidia does exactly this, they drop old models from their drivers (it isn't that bad, the last time it happened to me, it was really old, and the machine stopped being relevant for desktop usage a long time before). Still, I like the tranquility of mind; that's why I switched to ATI cards everywhere. It's good to have choice again. The work of Nouveau developers is impressive, considering the competing open source ati drivers got a lot of help from AMD.
Not everyone pays to have the latest Apple service pack. So a lot of Macs had support for Java applets.
No matter how you want to distort the facts, the fix was there and it took Apple two months (and a lot of media coverage) to have them ship it.
> How many niggers read this website anyway?
A lot, and I heard most of them are gay.
When?
Actually they were already crying because it is no longer exclusive to iOS.
Even with normal use I doubt they will last long. Or stay clean.
Maybe they think it will help get them some money out of hipster's trust funds.
> Increasingly these novice users are spending all their computing time in iOS which is even less vulnerable.
iOS was vulnerable for *weeks* from a root exploit without a patch from Apple.
