  • Ransomware attackers are increasingly targeting backups — so make sure yours are protected

    Jump

  • I still fail to see how that's the product's fault.

    Is there some ransomware-proof backup solution that you find most people do set up correctly?

  • Why name drop Veeam as if they're part of the problem?

    They at least have good options to protect backups from ransomware with Linux hardened repos and immutable object storage.

  • Cory Doctorow gets scammed

    Jump

  • Three digits is not that easy to get by brute force. It'll be locked for fraud pretty quickly.

    However the CVV is usually only required for card-not-present purchases. One way around that is to imprint the number onto their own magstripe card and run it as a card-present transaction.

  • Microsoft Ending Support For Windows Subsystem For Android

    Jump

  • Exactly. I decided to check it out a couple weeks ago and needing to install the Amazon app store was an instant nope.

    Was going to look into side-loading but I didn't really have a use case to make it worth my time.

  • How do you like to cheer yourself up when you're sad?

    Jump

  • The advantage of this is it keeps paying off even years later.

    We put googly eyes on an oscillating fan (among many other things) at the beginning of the pandemic and they still make me giggle every time I see them.

  • Elon Musk finally says something we can all agree on: No one wants to have to log in with a Microsoft Account on Windows 11

    Jump

  • So you classify yourself as an average consumer or a non-techie when it comes to computers?

  • Elon Musk finally says something we can all agree on: No one wants to have to log in with a Microsoft Account on Windows 11

    Jump

  • To be fair, for the average consumer there are huge advantages to using a MSA.

    Both Windows Hello and OneDrive bring both security and convenience to non-technical people in a big way.

    There is no good reason the average non-techie user should be using a local Windows account in a cloud world.

  • What's Your Preferred Server Monitoring Method?

    Jump

  • Adding my vote for Zabbix. It was a bit of a bear to set up and I had to write custom scripts to install the agents with TLS settings that were secure enough for me, but once it's all set up it's amazingly easy and intuitive to use and incredibly customizable.

  • My daughter lost her social studies essay because LibreOffice doesn't have autosave on automatically.

    Jump

  • Just mark it as final then. This whole thread is infuriating. People working themselves into pretzels with their misguided reasons for not wanting auto-save when they really just don't know to use the software.

    OP is right. I use Office 365 and haven't lost work on a document in over 10 years. Auto-save absolutely should be the default.

  • Passkeys might really kill passwords

    Jump

  • Yeah, I personally will only use hardware solutions for passkeys -- YubiKeys and TPM-backed WHFB creds.

    But the other reply makes a very good point about adoption being more important than perfection since, even with software-backed passkeys, you still have the benefit of the secret never leaving the client.

  • Passkeys might really kill passwords

    Jump

  • Yep! In fact you can still use client certificates in certain passkey/WebAuthN authentication flows. It's more or less how Windows Hello for Business works (although X.509 certificates are only one type of key it supports).

  • Windows 11 24H2 goes from “unsupported” to “unbootable” on some older PCs

    Jump

  • My 3930k is still alive and kicking. Just need it to hold out until Gen 15.

    It also runs Windows 11 just fine.

    Jump

  • Yes it does make sense. Because the insurance companies operate completely on hypotheticals. And that has a very real cost to the business being insured.

  • Apple Vision Pro review: magic, until it’s not

    Jump

  • I'm always reminded of this video when I think about just how bad AR could be. But then again, it could be pretty cool if we can only keep control over our tech.

  • Chicago Deep Dish Pizza

    Jump

  • Pretty much just when entertaining people from out-of-town.

  • Microsoft CEO calls for tech industry to 'act' after AI photos of Taylor Swift circulate X

    Jump

  • There are no perfect solutions so we might as well do nothing.

  • Haier hits Home Assistant plugin dev with takedown notice

    Jump

  • It's a shit company for pulling this, for sure. But I kinda like the building.

  • It's Time to Ditch Evernote for One of These Alternatives

    Jump

  • Bullshit. Citation needed.

  • Whoops

  • I thing the technical term for this is an RGE.
