I mean if you buy a surface book you get windows 10 pro installed and activated, so they’re kinda already doing this

DNS-level ad blocking is a pretty good alternative, and it works well for non-Safari apps in my experience. I use nextdns and recommend it. You can tailor the blocklists to your li…

If I had to guess, I'd say they will probably roll out new XProtect signatures [1] soon, assuming they haven't done so already for these samples. I also just learned that you can s…

That looks fantastic, thank you passing this along.

While the mere presence of MS on a resume may not mean much to employers, I almost think it’s more important to weigh its usefulness against your current skill set. For instance, I…

The biggest issue I have with note taking is not the medium or app, it’s the fact that I would often write something and never look at the note again. This essentially made the act…

Also interesting that the dev kits use the same chip as the latest iPad Pros (A12Z). I’d love to see the two OSes merge to some extent because I love writing on the tablet but find…

Same here. I don’t think the majority of folks will start working remotely permanently, but I could very well see more and more people splitting time between WFH and working from t…

I agree on the free publicity part. Don’t think I would’ve given this product this much of my attention if it weren’t for this whole debacle. The free publicity in this case is lik…

Thanks for the clarification. I read Kavanaugh’s dissent instead of the Court’s opinion, so I made a wrong assumption. You are correct, they aren’t making the argument I was thinki…

I could honestly see it both ways, but this argument seems relatively weak to me. The court here isn’t necessarily creating legislation but rather are making the judgment/interpret…

That’s a really simple but great idea. Thank you for that. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve learned something while working but have been too lazy to find my notes and figure o…

For me, a lot of the value in university was the experience of living independent, being thrown into a relatively unknown place with new responsibilities, and figuring out how to c…

As someone who is considering asking for the first time to move out of my high CoL area to be fully remote, does anyone have any advice on what to expect and how to navigate said c…

What’s the suspected threat name? It should say when a file gets quarantined.

Malware that can proliferate on Windows boxes without user action almost always requires some remote code execution vulnerability (or some security misconfiguration issue) to be ex…

I’m guessing it was meant to be more rhetorical than anything. It seems this was akin to a denial of service of sorts, so I think if US wanted to cause serious damage they would ha…

Well, it kinda is. AFAIK, that’s exactly what this was made for, and Intel/McAfee was going to create a DPI device using this tech. That never happened, and now Snort uses/will use…

I really like google’s music offering, but I the only reason I don’t subscribe is because I listen to music on my work box, and I refuse to sign into Google on it with my personal …

I’m guessing a lot of it has to do with making it harder to circumvent ads

Why would they? The RU government is likely directly involved with these kinds of attacks/campaigns

I agree, but I wonder if it’s instead not that disingenuous since most of the tech community, and likely all the city candidates, knew Amazon’s true MO from the start.

Yeah, this is all too true, and unfortunately it gives the security industry a bad rap

Which chromebook do you have and what are its specs? I'm interested in doing the same, and I don't want to spend $800+ for a laptop I'm not going to be super happy with.
