Corporations don't lie. The spokesman was simply "mistaken" in those previous statements.

Is there one you can trust? I just prefer to trust none of them, buy the hardware that meets my needs, and nuke it from orbit when it comes in with the OS of my choice with 100% less crapware.

+1 informative.

Seems like they could just put a genset on the truck & use electric driven wheels and get a big cost reduction while still using diesel, if TFA is correct. I assume they're just burning a ton in the stop-start nature?

$1 per mile covers not only the stop-go-stop-go fuel costs, but far increased wear and tear.

Add to that the cost of the human that is driving (usually their highest paid non-management people), and now $1 a mile seems right.

It doesn't even matter. NFC can send the number in plaintext for all I care. The Apple Pay app generates a one-time card number. After it hits the reader, it is useless.

Which means that the owners of the resorts will get more money, which they will spend in the local economy, which means more money for the locals.

There is a solution that doesn't require SMS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

It is based off of RFCs, as well, so you don't even need to use Google's implementation.

That, combined with a sheet of OTP's that don't require a code tucked in a safe, gets it done.

If your point is to stop employees from plugging in an access point they bought at Best Buy, this is quite effective.

If your point is actual security against a criminal, 802.1x with certificates is the only way to go.

Point is, at least stopping 1/2 of the problems is better than stopping none of them. Right or wrong, 802.1x security is seen as too complicated for most IT departments.

You're correct, but my point is that many people don't deploy 802.1x because it seems so complex and expensive.

port-security to 1 mac gives most of the benefits of 802.1x for no cost and very easy deployment.

Or, for even less complexity, limit the number of MAC addresses per port to 1. No need for central MAC database that way.

While I don't support regulation of drones outside of keeping them away from normal airplane traffic and outside private property, this is hardly a farce.

This is a 4-lb payload drone that doesn't look more than 1 meter wide. There is even a video showing it dropping a small watermelon from 250ft.

A M18 Claymore is 3.5 lbs, so this drone could carry one without issue.

Because Waze can't track police on the move (which have been how I've been caught speeding most of the time), I can't imagine it is a great system for this.

Apple did this a long time ago. There is nothing to figure out.

All Google needs to do is require those that are going to sell hardware running their OS to allow Google to push the updates. Done.

What if I like how you do things in Texas, but don't want to move there because the climate in Texas is about the as my boxers?

Do you think that because it is no longer required for you to keep certain documents, that it will prevent a subpoena from demanding them if they exist?

So, every time there is a lawsuit, you have to re-plug all of those air gaps archives to search for whatever documents the opposition deems relevant. There went February's IT productivity.

NO. As soon as you don't need it, delete it automatically. Make it a written policy. After X years, everything is deleted unless it is placed in a certain archive manually. That archive will be small and certain to only be used to your company's advantage.

Damn, you're good.

Seriously, I went from "mildly annoyed that your viewpoint was different from mine", to "This cat is alright, one of the good ones" in your one comment.

And yes, I know part of it is because your comment has some ego stroking for network people, but I don't care. I'll take it. :)

I do appreciate you people. I really want to help, but when the morals just keep saying "It don't work", I'm really at a loss on how to help them understand their own app!
