Bought a Samsung Bluray player for $50 on a black Friday sale. It stopped playing bluray discs after a firmware update. Samsung wanted me to pay $100+ to fix it, because it was passed the warranty period. They are not willing to waive the cost of repair even if they confirm the firmware update caused the issue. I have never bought a Samsung product since then. And I didn't feel sorry for their phones catching on fire a few months after refusing to fix our bluray player for free,

The question is not how to be prepared or ready...The question is how it should be handled when your organization get attacked. One thing to keep in mind...these hackers breaking into your infrastructure is as proof they cannot be trusted. Don't pay the ransom. Paying ransom "incentivizes" the crime. At worst, they double-cross you and get your payment without giving your data/control back. Instead of using the money to pay the ransom, use it to pay an expert (or a group of experts) to fix things for you. It may not get fixed as fast as you want, but you ensure the criminals will never get anything out of it. And if everybody does the same, it won't become an attractive MO for these criminals. And you will save future victims as a result.

...because the owner is a Trump supporter, isn't that the same as what Facebook is doing? If I could sue the restaurant for discrimination, can't the Trump supporters do the same against FB?

Black babies' lives matter too...not just the parents who don't want responsibilities of raising their babies.

While they are at it, why not add battery-operated small speakers on each card board that plays pre-recorded audio from the fans? It would excite players even more hearing those crowd, and not just seeing images of people.

This is simply an attempt to selectively censor free speech that does not match Google's agenda.

They are known for stealing intellectual properties.

Thanks for the reply...it forced me to investigate why it is not showing...Looks like Google (for Android) no longer marks a holiday when it's several weeks away.

Google used to mark the Easter Sunday on the Calendar. Now, it no longer shows in there. You will have to find another calendar for that. But Google made sure Super Tuesday is marked in there.

My Android phone from 2013 had this Google app that types what I say in English to another language (like Spanish) and it also reads it out loud. I may have to search that app again on the Play store.

Wait, the nuclear ICBMs made during the Reagan administration were designed to reach USSR in 30 minutes. So, those new missiles are not that impressive speedwise.

...While FOX would omit or not mention some issues with Trump, CNN/MSNBC would twist the facts or flat out lie about what is actually going on.

When I realized M$ is able to sneak the Win10 upgrade without my permission, I decided to try Linux for the first time. Thank you M$ for forcing me...Because if you didn't do that, I would still be missing a lot of good things...found only in Linux.

This is basically giving customers opportunity to pre-order an upcoming product. Many companies do it to determine how much demand they would be getting for the new product. This helps them plan on how much resources they will need to put to meet demands. This is normal for many industries.

They have tried everything to divide America... - Racial - Sex/Gender - Labor relations - Financial status - Religion ...and by generational gap. Yuri Bezmenov must be shaking his head in his grave.
