In New Hampshire people have, in RADAR cases, been able to subpoena the operators, the calibrators, the calibration certificates, and the source code, on these bases.
The judge allows it, the prosecution drops the case.
One strategy is to demand a trial on every small fine to tilt the economics in favor of liberty.
Follow the money.
This stinks of sabotage inflicted by unethically motivated actors.
Presuming they're not just incredible fools, which we ought not assume.
Are we talking about Apple or the USA here?
Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny.
It is certainly more like Linux than say, Windows.
It is, but IME a lot of software needs architectural changes to work on it, similar to when you're trying to build software for Windows in cygwin. That's one reason I decided it wasn't worth the hassle back when I was running it.
When it comes to being allowed to do what you want with your computer, it's a lot more like Windows than it is like Linux. And it's been getting worse.
But it is also generally more secure, outside of its obscurity
This is a fantasy not substantiated by evidence. Heartbleed--a Linux vulnerability in an open source library--was lying in plain sight for years before some hacker discovered it, and it was exploited in the wild for years before anybody discovered the attack.
Now tell us how many similar bugs are in Windows, and will be found even without the obscurity of closed source. You don't know, because you depend on Microsoft to tell you when they fuck up, but you're declaring this a victory for Microsoft anyway? Do fucking tell.
Linux desktop with 16 Mb RAM was possible in the 90s
No, 2MB was never enough for a Linux desktop. I had 8MB on my 386 and it was only just sufficient.
Disposable income already considers this, it's an apples to apples comparison.
Are you sure? I mean, really sure?
After all, the link you provided states "Disposable income is the amount of money a household has available for spending and saving after income taxes have been deducted" then goes on to qualify this with "This figure will be the most significant dollar amount because government taxes at the federal and state level are not included in the figure."
You'll note that missing from either of these quotes (or any other rider on that page) is any reference to: adjustments for state funded healthcare; parental leave allowance, or maternity or paternity pay; social security benefits / in work benefits; and so on.
So, I wonder, what is it, in toto, that you think 'Disposable income' covers exactly?
You'd think with the successes of the original 16-bit Apple machines, then the Mac platform, full of third party software of every kind imaginable, it should have been self-evident that third party apps would be natural and beneficial. But people like Jobs just can't help themselves: their instinct is to control their platform and exclude everyone else. So they indulge the Reality Distortion Field hard enough to convince themselves that such a scheme is viable, all evidence of history to the contrary, and capture all the money.
The jail breakers are the real heros. They're the ones that pierced the Field and corrected this dysfunction, where no amount of explaining had any impact. They left Apple with two choices: go to war with jail breakers and become a pariah, or correct the bad thinking that prevailed to that point. Fortunately they chose the latter.
Or maybe unfortunately. The residual tyranny that did survive is more than I've ever considered tolerating. Maybe it would have been better if Apple had self-immolated the iPhone with Jobs' vision.
That is nonsense. The difference is that on Linux, you get patch-notes and then can decide whether you have the exposure. The time that Linux was "sheltered" is long, long past.
It just has become more obvious. They were always a 3rd rated amateur-level shit-show. As complexity raises and attacker pressure increases, their sheer incapability becomes impossible to ignore.
By bricking them?
I expect that in the near future, we will get an "update" broken enough that only a reinstall will fix it.
Is the high effort the attackers invested. Seems things are heating up.
>The meeting said something on my system was out of date. I installed the missing item as I presumed it was something to do with Teams, and this was the remote access Trojan,
Why on earth aren't you downloading this from a MS Teams page, if something is out of date? It certainly wasn't a popup from Teams itself that showed you this.
If I get an official looking message in email, I don't go about clicking on the links in it - I go directly to the website, log in, and see what's up.
Seems like a good way for a steady revenue stream that they haven't tapped into yet.
Is a computer language with goto's totally Wirth-less?
