Is anyone here still running Exchange on-premise? I'm not bashing. Rather I'm genuinely curious what the current install base might be.
If you are still running Exchange on-premise, are you pure Exchange or an Exchange/M365 hybrid setup?
I'm currently working on migrating a couple of on-prem Exchange Servers, including one running Exchange Server 2010 on Windows SBS. The final straw was when the only supported version of Exchange switched to subscription-based licensing. If you're going to pay a subscription, it makes zero sense not to go with M365 and Exchange Online, and let someone else carry the burden of security patches and such.
A win would be these fucking companies spending the correct money for proper security. They skimp on their IT budgets so this happens, even after getting hacked!
This is such a simplistic take. We're living in the age of Anthropic's Mythos LLM, and others like it. Vulnerabilities ate being discovered at an unprecedented rate. Don't kid yourself that Linux will be immune.
And there are surely no workarounds.
Yes, you're right. No point in having laws, people can just break them. Might as well make it legal for corporations and billionaires to buy favour from politicians like in the US.
Yes. In socialist societies, the government owns companies. In capitalist societies, companies own the government.
Not everywhere. In the US this is a choice. In Canada, corporations are not allowed to contribute to political parties or campaigns, and individual contributions are capped at under $2,000 CAD.
All requests are potentially malicious... Best err on the side of liberty
This is not about stupid people doing harm to themselves. It's about criminals using state-of-the-art AI to harm other people.
... it straight up refused to respond stating that its "cybersecurity safety policy" would forbid responding to such request. Obviously, any debugging session could just as well be motivated by "looking for exploits", but this is just ridiculous...
What would you prefer? A model that errs on the side of caution and occasionally refuses a legitimate request, or one that is more lax and occasionally helps a user with criminal intent? We live in an imperfect world. It's not "ridiculous" just because it wouldn't do something you asked, when you yourself recognize your request could have been malicious.
Dell can't match Apple because Win 11 wants 16 GB RAM to boot to desktop and 32 to be useable.
Windows 11 absolutely does not require 16GB to boot to desktop. And on my work machine, even with a large number of windows running, it rarely uses as much as 16GB, let alone 32GB. It's OK if you're not a fan of Microsoft, but don't post blatant exaggerations as though they are facts.
Some $25m (£18.6m) in prize money is up for grabs — with cash prizes for winners.
I heard one of the participants interviewed on the radio. While he's been struggling to break records in the Olympics, he sees other people winning million dollar prizes in enhanced competitions. He pointed out realistically how many years of winning it would take him to possibly earn a million dollars by more conventional competition. I'm not saying I approve of the enhanced events, but I could understand his perspective. Ultimately it's his body, his choice.
The tunnel segments... weigh more than 73,000 metric tons, and have to be placed within a tolerance of 3 mm.
That is mind-blowing.
It's clear that in places like the EU, Russia, Canada, or China, un-bugged non-surveillance-enabled computing is more and more unwelcome.
Canada is the home of OpenBSD, which is not only open source, but was founded largely in response to strong cryptography being classified as a "munition" is the US.
