Europe should, of course, thank Trump for making it realize that its dependence on the United States can be dangerous.
But why only now? France and Europe have had cloud infrastructure for years...
Entrusting sensitive data to the United States has always carried risks, given that Airbus is Boeing's largest competitor.

Submission + - Windows 10: "the most secure Windows ever"

Submitted by Anonymous Coward on Friday July 17, 2026 @03:31AM

An anonymous reader writes: Windows 10 refuses to die, and the security bill is coming due

“A hard core of Windows 10 devices cannot or will not be migrated to Windows 11, leaving enterprises with a growing security problem as support options run out.”

July 2015: “Today, we’re sharing more on security in Windows 10. Windows 10 has more built-in security protections to help safeguard you against viruses, phishing, and malware, it’s the most secure Windows ever.”

I know that recommending OpenWrt to the general public is unlikely to gain much traction, which is why I'm posting it here instead.
Slashdot readers (and from other more technical sites) may take an interest in it and give it a try.

The 3 is Qualcomm, unfortunately. The 4 uses a MediaTek Filogic platform and should eventually be OpenWRT compatible (after release).

This is Slashdot, if you don't know OpenWRT, you should.

Have you seen the specs of the Flint 2 compared to other home routers?
Anyway Flint 3 / 3e is available, and Flint 4 is upcoming.

I use the Flint 2 and it's a beast + with its DDR4 1 GB / eMMC 8 GB (which is much more than most routers), any OpenWRT module can be installed.

During their bromance, didn't Putin and Trump agree to some kind of "no hacking each other policy"?

As usual:
- install OpenWRT (be sure to purchase an OpenWRT compatible router)
- configure it to DROP packets on closed ports (default is REJECT, that informs the 'hacker' that, while the port is closed, there is a device at this address)

Linux I cry.

You should be crying because you didn't search hard enough!
Linux has tons of file managers, and they're highly customizable. Double Commander, for example.
