Seems a very appropriate response to me. Hacking is just aother kind of weapon. Israel and Hamas are at war, and surely the Israelis are free to used any weapon in their arsenal to counter the enemy, excepting nukes. They don't have to respond with the same kind of weapon (counter-hacking in this case). It was a targeted attack against the builidng housing the hackers, so not disproportionate.
As long as the user can always install their own platform key, so they retain ultimate control of their own computer, then this isn't such a big deal. But there needs to be a standardised interface for installing platform keys in the UEFI settings.
Surely if Mozilla really had users' best interests in mind they'd make DuckDuckGo the default search option?
The "silly" part of my comment was referring to the subject of this article: The inability in Windows 10 S to change the default browser from Edge. https://tech.slashdot.org/stor...
Windows 10 S is the walled-garden edition, so this is not surprising (but still a silly move from MS). I predict Windows 10 S will fail for the same reason that Windows RT failed: The inability to run "legacy" (desktop) Windows programs.
It's worked for Jaguar, copying Aston Martin
So, instead of having a $200k Aston, you get an $80k Jag.
The chief designer at Jaguar is Ian Callum, who previously designed for Aston Martin.
Doesn't Windows have this already? If the installer isn't signed with a "trusted" certificate, you get a scary warning message. Or is the "hardware technology and virtualization" the new bit?
As long as the user has the option to override the warning and install anyway, you'll still get malware being installed.
This feature however seems more aimed at IT departments so they can lock down their users' machines to only run their definition of trusted software. How will it apply to standone or home users?
There are clearly rainspots on the windscreen. He never touches the right stalk. The XJ has rain-sensing wipers.
The Jews are "Palestinians" too you know. There has have been a continuous Jewish presence there since, er, Biblical times. It's where they originated. But of course you know that, and are being disingenuous when you talk of them as only recent arrivals. They are the "de-facto indigenous people of the region".
The Jews that migrated to Palestine before world war two did so mostly legally. They didn't invade or misappropriate or trick the land from the incumbents (unlike say, the European settlers in the Americas). Sometimes they paid over the odds for marginal land that the current owners had no use for.
You state that "The Palestinians never migrated anywhere" but there has been Arab migration to the area now called Israel since the seventh century.
Hardware is cheap!
If you've eliminated the RAM, HD, and PSU (in that order) as the cause of the problem, I'd say just bin the motherboard and put in a new one. It might be a failing CPU, but IME this is pretty rare. Having said that, I tend to have a spare CPU or two lying around to check. (a low-end model of the right socket type; in my case a Pentium D 805; all my PCs are socket 775). Unless your PC has a relatively new and/or high end CPU, I probably wouldn't bother; You'll probably want or need to replace the CPU anyway if the board is more than two or three years old.
RAM, hard disks and PSU (and a discrete graphics card, if the PC has one) are all (relatively) easy things to test and swap out. What components on a motherboard can you easily test/replace? The CMOS battery.
Programmers do it bit by bit.
