carbon neutral? energy using, highly complex chemical, pollutant producing manufacturing process, using child labour, exploiting natural resources... where do you wanna start?

The latest form of censorship on facebook is blocking ads targeting certain "likes". Jimmy Dore for instance. So this means, say a comedy promoter cannot target the audience of Jimmy Dore for marketing a comedy show for say a completely different Comedian. This is truly Orwellian in nature as that affects everyone globally. Also its censoring what YOU see.. not what people say. Its also interfering with people business models, based on what other people do, not yourself.

We have some clients who continue to drag their feet on retiring RDP usage for end users... We have implemented the following to try to mitigate attacks : 1. Geo-Location Blocking. (Block all but your own country) this reduces the brute force attacks quite significantly, though this is not a solution, but a way to slow down things. 2. Restricted by Static Public IP. (this has been handy for our admin guys, so only they can RDP to servers 3. Introduce a Secure Mobile Access device, and enable Multi Factor Authentication. This is the best solution so far if you really need RDP services. Sonicwall make SMA210 which is reasonable, can be married to Microsoft authenticator app on a mobile phone for the MFA. You can implement one in 4 hours plus roll out time for your users.

I am wondering if these devices are only vulnerable if you have them connected to the internet directly (no firewall) or if you enable some kind of "remote access/remote file access" service on the devices. Some more information would be handy.

yes I refuse to use those digital terminals.. not only because it takes twice as long as when served by a human, but also because those touch screens are unhygienic as.

I don't think its the Porn that's driving them to be anti-social or engage in life. Its a symptom of a much bigger problem related to gender discrimination and stereotyping. For over 50 years there has been a public narrative and discussion around women and the challenges they face in society. But we have not even begun to scratch the surface on issues that affect men because men are always seen as expendable (war) and by default everything is their fault alone (as if it happens inside a vacuum). I do agree that porn can be damaging like anything if not used moderately and with a good mental stability.

They will fight tooth and nail to protect their ability to harvest data public and private about anyone - even non google users. Why? So they can use that data to manipulate elections. They have stated so in their internal documents which have been leaked. They have even lied in congressional hearings about this. Do not trust google, they are worse than Microsoft in the 90s.

".. This year we'll make enough on the harvest that I'll be able to hire some more hands and then, you can go to the Academy next year." "But that's a whole nother year!"

they specifically get exceptions under section 53 that make them exempt from being sued due to things posted on their site, because they claim they are not a publisher. As soon as you curate the content you are a publisher. this is the sticking point.

That's ok, lets use his logic.... "if you support censorship on youtube, you are most likely support paedophiles."

Also remember I had never used/worked with macs.

Nope not a liar. This was never advised to me, and now that you inform me of it.. it does make sense. I can only assume they were being cautious not to advise me to "re-install the OS, to get my data back, hence I might lose "new data" recently saved. TBH the engineers did not come off as smart, because that should have been the first thing they did.. or even advise me off before they even started.

ok what ever .. system 5 variant. ive managed HP-UX, SCO, DIGITAL UNIX, SINUX, VAX, AS400 etc get off your high horse you knew what I meant. If your one of these trolls send your input to dev null

It was to be a replacement for an audio workstation for portability. So I needed large memory, large storage capacity for applications and a fast cpu. Additional costs for those increased specs and also include attachment peripherals for connecting to large monitors and a timecapsule for backups etc. I don't think this qualifies me as a moron. Having never owned a Mac, and 20 years in IT I had only heard good things about macs, and understood that now based on intel, and Darwin (Linux) I thought it was the time for me to try one out.

what do you use to edit mp3 meta data tags on Linux?
