Gee are you implying that storing passwords in plaintext is a bad thing? /s
A person with way too many hobbies, but I still continue to learn new things.

I’ve also read about the John Deere issue as a leading instigator of right-to-repair laws. They weren’t able to provide authorized local repair techs when a tractor breaks down, so farmers were stuck waiting 1-2 weeks for someone to show up while crops were rotting in the fields (think of how fast your fresh fruit rots in your kitchen and then imagine dozens of fields of that crop going to waste). And the biggest insult was when the repair tech drove into town for a $5 part that the farmer had already identified but couldn’t replace because of manufacturer lockouts.
So Sony wants to punish ISPs for continuing to “allow” illegal things to happen? Hmm remind me again which company it is that has had so many data breaches that users have come to just expect it? Sounds to me like if they are allowed to pursue attacking internet providers then they themselves should start seeing lawsuits for continuing damages until such time as Sony is able to successfully recover all stolen personal data and other parties can no longer use it for profit.
If you’re curious enough to get one, I’ve seen them on ebay as well. Might even be available on Amazon. I think they’ve been around for a couple years, I just got mine in April but still haven’t had time to fire it up and play with it.
Hmm I’m seeing a sale price right now, might be based off my order history though. I found another that has a standard price of $10.39, but all the ones I looked at are now also including a shipping cost around $4.50 so that jacks the price up even more.
All these taxes and tarrifs and what-not are really hurting people’s ability to get access to affordable items. I was looking at some solar panels right before the US added a tarrif to those items, so now I’ll wait to see what happens.
The board costs about $10, I have one on hand. Besides VGA and PS/2 ports, it also has an audio-out jack and a slot for SD cards. And if you want to compare specs, the ESP32 blows this away. Sure $1 sounds impressive, until you realize just how little you can do with it.
[Edit] Looks like the price has come down under $10 for this board now, here’s a link to get them from China.
So basically something like this only a whole lot LESS capable? Although if you specifically want to do RiscV coding then it does limit your options.
Hard to say for sure. They may have legitimately found something, but my experience with McAfee products has been abysmal. The last time I dealt with it, someone had the full paid version of their virus scanner which was up to date but wasn’t finding anything. I ran the free version of AVG and found over 200 items (mostly trojans and other malware). Their research may be valid, but I certainly wouldn’t trust any of their software to find even widely-known issues.

Now there’s an oxymoron. Let me know when they can write a virus scanner that works.
Yeah but does that really compare to a single man destroying a $44 Billion dollar company?
Seriously, why hasn’t there been an investigation since he’s meddling directly with government affairs and working for a foreign enemy?
Don’t forget that Musk is also the one who intentionally blocked paid service from Ukraine during a critical moment in the early days of Russia’s current genocide, because Musk sucks up to Putin. Dude needs to answer for his actions.
I think I missed something in your description, but what are you running on your local server? I think most people set up postfix to relay the emails over to gmail or whoever, and there are options in postfix for backwards compatibility with Outlook or even Microsoft Mail so your wife could use whatever client she wants. If you don’t have a local mail server set up then this is probably what you want to do. This method allow a local or remote connection from any client so you could run K9 on your phone instead of a VPN.
For opening such a setup to the internet (and allowing access from anywhere), make sure you have strong passwords on your accounts, require SASL authentication, and set up fail2ban to block repeated attempts to hack your mailboxes. Don’t run anything else on the same server (or use virtual machines or strong containers) to reduce the chance of your mail server getting compromised other ways, and you should be good to go.
I remember when me and a friend both had C64s and he got a 20MB HDD for it. He said “bring your floppies over and we’ll swap software, I have tons of space now!” Big surprise, I had way more floppies than he had drive space. 😆 These days I don’t mess around, I have around 105TB of storage with room for expansion as drives get cheaper.
Put me down for one Amiga 1000 (which I still have with the 2MB expansion), I found a used one for sale and snagged it for $300 (before the A500 or any other models were released). I thought it was a great deal.
After the string of bad decisions he’s already made with this company, what makes you think he’s able to make good choices now? He has an echo-chamber where nobody can tell him to GTFO and that’s literally the only thing he’s ever getting out of it. It’s kinda like if someone paid an obscene amount of money for a junker car, then paid 10x that amount to put vanity plates on it.
There’s definitely been a lot of talk about the whole “pay us and we can make that bad review from someone who wasn’t your customer just go away.” Some say that never actually happened, and yet I was IT support for a small business who contacted Yelp to find out why non-customers were allowed to leave bad reviews and they were directly told that for a fee those reviews would be removed.
Sorry, I just realized I crossed up my evil businesses. Yelp did the whole protection-racket thing, it was LinkedIn that hacked people’s computers and keep sending out emails in their customer’s names (“I heard about this great company, you should check them out…”).
Yelp, another major tech company
That’s a curious way to spin “a bunch of con artists who built a business by hacking people’s computers and sending out emails in those people’s names”.
If you already have a router tying these two networks together then you should NOT also have two NICs in one machine tied to both networks. Pick one or the other, you can’t have both. If you think you need both then you haven’t correctly considered your network topology.
How much privacy do you have when someone has your account password?
