Like it’s trying to convince people Linux is inherently vulnerable.

I’m typing this reply from a machine running KDE Plasma on top of Linux Mint 22.

I’m not sure what precisely what you mean by “inherently” but I’d like to point that “Linux” has security problems all over the place; the kernel has issues, the DEs have issues, the applications have issues. It’s more secure than Windows but that’s not a very high bar.

You shouldn’t be doing anything interacting from a server anyways.

Ideally no but in the real world it happens, especially with with Windows Servers.

I don’t want to install “word webview” on a server in order to look at a large log file or peruse some XML.

I dunno, with Healthcare the larger the organization the more serious they take it. A small practice may basically ignore it but by the time you get to be the size of UMC, the Hospital named in the article, they’re typically spending many millions of dollars annually on CyberSecurity.

The problem is that they’re stuck playing defense. They have to get it right every time but the attackers only have to get lucky once. They could successfully repel 10,000 attempts Monday through Saturday but then on Sunday they only repel 9,999 'cuz Bored Bob the maintenance guy clicked a new zero-day in their email and now they’re in the news.

The best way to do this would be to use data from 2023 (as the infographic claims) and NOT data from the years 2000 through 2022. It would also be helpful if the source wasn’t a right-biased US based organization whose stated goal is de-regulation of the Medical Industry.

They could also do their reports using established methodology instead of creating their own, base it on first sources instead of literature review, and maybe they could avoid biased sources while they were at it.

Seriously, I tore into the data and sourcing and it’s simply awful. The base report isn’t really even about wait times, it’s about increasing efficiency (and thus profitability) through using telehealth, blister packs, and OTC contraceptives.

I tore this apart in a comment in the original feddit post. For you Australians the tl;dr is that the data is outdated, with some of it being from 2014, while other data is from the pandemic. NONE of the data from any country is from 2023 as is being claimed.

Okay that I’m aware of but I’ve never heard of it referred to as “bootstrapping”. Thanks for the explanation.

Firewire was good for high bandwidth devices like external hard drives and video cameras because it didn’t require the CPU to do any heavy lifting. These days USB is mature enough and CPUs are so fast that we (mostly) don’t notice any performance impact but in the Core 2 Duo days you could easily max out one of your two cores with a large file transfer over USB.

My internet being bootstrapped by ISP…

Seriously, what does “bootstrapped” mean in this context?

Edit: if you are going to downvote at least explain if you got a counter point, otherwise it seems y’all just butthurt haha

Okay.

How is this different from US ISP bootstrapping peasant grade internet?

1. Whatabout-ism is annoying AF.
2. How is nationwide re-configuring of DNS to enable censorship different than “bootstrapping peasant grade internet” is a dumb question on it’s face.
3. I’m sitting in the middle of Wyoming sending this comment via a 2Gb/s fiber optic connection. This is not “peasant grade”.

So basically you are getting downvoted because your comment is irrelevant 'Murica bashing.

Now you know.

100,000 rides a week. Impressive.

Nah, Starlink doesn’t reset the Wi-Fi SSID for a firmware update.

They didn’t, the commenter is making things up.

Can’t you simply not connect your display to the Internet

Probably, but maybe not. I can think of three ways a Smart TV could potentially get internet access without the owners knowledge.

1. Amazon Sidewalk
2. The TV Manufacturer cuts a deal to access the closed WiFi network that many cable operators have on their cable modems or routers.
3. Via the manufacturers app installed on a smart phone. They often use the app to make setup easier and / or to cast content. There’s no reason the TV can’t log data until the app connects and then use the app to transmit that data to the manufacturer.

So while the owner could choose not to give their Smart TV a wifi connection that doesn’t mean the TV can’t get one another way.

WHO is the one guy who downvotes you???

That’s the bot that ChatGPT operates here on Lemmy.

One possibility is that Russia can read the encryption. They push, or allow, people to use Telegram because it gives false confidence that messages cannot be read which encourages people to share information they otherwise wouldn’t.

That exact strategy has been employed by the Security and Intelligence services of other nations. Here’s an example from 2021 of the FBI pushing Anom.

The YouTuber asianometry did a video on 3D dram. Very cool.

It’s catty because THEIR satellites won’t be a problem when they start launching in 18 months…it’s only Starlink satellites that will have this problem.

It’s a thinly veiled attempt at slowing down T-Mo and Starlink until Verizon and AT&T are ready to compete. That’s it.

Black screen with cursor can be bypassed by pressing ctrl+alt+del, at least on my HP laptop with Mint and KDE Plasma 5.

That’s an odd statement. I had an ext4 partition mounted on a Windows 11 machine just a week ago.
