It's not like you can revoke your palm. It's a permanent appendage.

Usernames, passwords, social insurance numbers, credit cards, bank cards can all be revoked and reissued when a data breach occurs. Palms cannot.

People would remember what telephones and letters are. I only learn about stuff from my family because they post to Facebook. Facebook's killed communication skills. I'd love to be able to go back to a pre-Facebook world where Zuckerberg isn't trying to monitor my every move.

Microsoft is so full of crap. They broke L2TP/ipsec VPN with Windows 10 1909 for anyone on domain controller and broke it for everyone with 20H1. To say that it was only recently broken is wishful thinking.

Canada's not considered a major international player? We've had PIPEDA for years (which was almost as strong as the GDPR), and just recently updated it to PIPEDA2 after the GDPR came out to match or exceed GDPR.

Ok, so Intel barely eked out the M1 for how powerful the CPU is. Why is the fact that the Intel chip probably consumes three times as much power not even mentioned? I thought that was the M1's main claim to fame, and the fact that it was faster than Intel was only secondary?

Mobotix and MikroTik both have firmware updates "for life". In the case of Mobotix, it's until they deem the camera legacy (the camera still works, but they decide to stop supporting it because it got too old for them...while the founder was chairman, that would have never happened, but....)

I have not seen a single device from MikroTik that's officially no longer supported. The only way it becomes unsupported currently is if the software updates get large enough and/or the programming on the network device becomes complex enough that there isn't enough flash memory to contain the new software updates.

I'm surprised LaTeX wasn't a valid choice, but for some reason Notepad was? Notepad's not even a word processor; it's a text editor.

Rumble doesn't seem to have a lot of content...it seems like a youtube in the early days. I think this is more about posturing, trying to convince all the conspiracy groups to move enmasse to Rumble. i.e. put a service on their radar that they might not have even heard of before.

One of their sister companies, Neroku has a channel on Youtube that actively encourages content creators to post videos on Rumble if they want them cross posted to their channel on Youtube.

Another of their properties, Rumble Viral also seems to be a Youtube channel actively encouraging posting of videos to Rumble.com

Much as I'd love to promote a Canadian company, it seems this is more a publicity stunt than anything.

Microsoft Is Adding Linux, Android, and Firmware Protections To Defender

I feel like I'm reading a tabloid newspaper when people can't even be bothered to have a title that matches the article content.

Haven't bothered because I can't walk into a store to get a case for it. I can order one online (only one choice), but because I can't touch/feel it, I don't know if I'm wasting my money or not.

__All__ GNU/Linux distributions? Universal for all OSes?

I see no mention of CentOS, Gentoo, Scientific Linux, or Slackware. I also see no mention of BSD, Solaris, Windows or OSX if it's truly universal for all OSes.

If you rinsed the gunk off your plates as soon as you finished eating, threw them into the dishwasher and ran the dishwasher before your food had a chance to get dried out, moldy and lord knows what else, the dishwasher would work just fine on a single cycle.

It's a conspiracy between Microsoft and the CPU manufacturers to make sure you're always upgrading your computer and upgrading to the latest version of Windows. I'm sure the government spooks are in on it as well.

Seriously though, I would check out the second answer at this link:

You can set up a transparent proxy like squid (http://www.squid-cache.org/) combined with iptables (http://iptables.org/), so that any outbound port 80 or port 443 requests from the machine can get filtered via squid.

Then, in squid you can run all your logic through DansGuardian (http://dansguardian.org/?page=whatisdg), a content filter.

Having to do both CRA (Canadian Revenue Agency) and IRS/Indiana DoR filings, I find that whole 'Paperwork Reduction Act' thing is quite ironic.

The first couple of years I had to do US tax filings (through an LLC), it took me a month or so to get the accounting the way I needed it, and to figure out through the massive maze of forms which ones I had to fill out and how I had to fill them out.

Now, with the exception of filing to get my withholding tax back, it takes about an hour after I've got my accounting all in order. I've got it down to a system of completing electronic PDF forms (6 forms for the IRS, and another 5 or 6 for Indiana), printing them out, and then signing two of them. So, now it's mostly stress more than anything. But good God man...why so many forms? And lengthy ones at that.

CRA's are mostly a couple of pages...the odd one might be three.
