These people are not hackers. They're extortionists.

AI impersonation is making it harder and harder to tell legitimate people apart from fakes.

Here's an example of deepfake audio being used to impersonate a CEO and steal US$243,000.

Here's an example of an AI-generated person that is so realistic her own family couldn't tell the difference.

And here's a video conference call where everyone in the meeting other than the victim was a fake, including a deepfake of the Chief Financial Officer.

If your own family can be fooled, so much for employees being "smart enough".

This type of password hash stealing via SMB protocol has been well known for years, and is easily mitigated without any changes to your Windows machines. Simply add firewall rules that block outbound connections to the Internet on TCP ports 139 and 445.

You can watch a physical demonstration of this here.

It's quite a "hole", however. There's not a lot left of the original cube.

Comparing OpenBSD to Windows 11 is not an apples-to-apples comparison. While some people may run OpenBSD as their desktop operating system, that's not a stated goal of the project,.

OpenBSD is best suited for server applications where an emphasis on security is desired. Their code is meticulously and proactively audited for bugs. Even bugs that have not been shown to be exploitable are fixed, and this has often led to cases where the mechanism behind newly discovered exploits had already been patched in OpenBSD.

The project also show a passion for accurate and complete documentation, and for robust testing. IIRC, preparing for a release includes running a command to build every single package in their ports collection without error.

This type of comment should not be posted anonymously. If you're going to attack someone's character, have the balls to do it in person.

And FWIW, no, Theo is neither insufferable or an asshole. I have met him personally and found him to be extremely knowledgeable and interesting person to talk to. Yes, he has very strong opinions. Yes, he has ruffled many feathers over the years. He's also frequently correct in his criticisms.

I mean it!

Check out CuriousMarc on YouTube. Those guys can definitely read anything out there.

It may be a cube, but it's not a Rubik's. How can they call it that when it's only 2x2 instead of 3x3?

I know one hole that Microsoft can plug with this.

How would they handle the enormous cooling requirements? Can they use some sort of passive heat radiation? Do cooling fins work in space?

Increasingly? They have been the biggest adopters since day one.

There's more to it than that. The US also has a weird mix of social values that purport to be "Christian" and politics, which canny politicians can exploit with only the most hollow of gestures. Post a photo of Trump holding up a bible, and half of the south are convinced he's a devout family man sent to them by God. The willful blindness is just distressing to any rational observer.

I started out with a statement of fact. You are an opinionated idiot. This is not equivalent to trying to win an argument by just calling you stupid over and over and over. (Ad hominem logical fallacy). You have not refuted any of the assertions I made. You just keep evidencing that you have an irrational disdain for iPhone users because they can't SIT ON THEIR PHONES, and insisting that anyone who doesn't share your predilection for sitting on a big fat cell phone is stupid.

Not emotional? You sound positively apoplectic. As witnessed by the ad hominem nature of your arguments.

A quick review of the epithets you've spewed so far..

sheep
stupid cunt (x2)
stupid sheep
fuckwit (x2)

This discussion has clearly hit a nerve with you, and I would say you're having trouble staying rational.

Let's make it simple. You buy whatever phone suits your preference, based on whatever criteria you want, and stop insisting that people who follow different preferences are stupid.
