  • Oh, man, finding registry info was like the Search for the Holy Grail (Monty Python style).

    At one time I worked for MS, and was fortunate to stumble on some good tools for it (like an OLE browser, which is originally what the registry was designed for-it was actually called the OLE Registration Database on Win 3.1), and I acquired every resource kit I could find, and pored over them.

  • Sounds like you're describing Agile Project Management to some degree (breaking marathons into sprints, accepting that change of direction/focus happens).

    Good thinking - one never wants to fight their base nature, it's a losing proposition. Instead, understanding it so it can be utilized, managed, directed is a much more effective approach.

  • Yep.

    Rather than try to single-handedly re-engineer an old protocol to be secure, I just use it for stuff where security isn't a big deal. Including messages with links to secure resources (and send credentials via a separate system).

  • I don't see how you wouldn't have your email on an email providers servers - that's how email works. You send an email via a provider, they forward it to the destination address you've included with the email.

    That destination address is another email provider's server, which holds it until the receiver connects and downloads it. Email is a store-and-forward system, designed at a time when users weren't always connected. It still works this way.

    Email is old, so the fundamental mechanics are pretty simple, and encryption wasn't an option at the time - so it's sent in the clear. Otherwise it would require both sender and receiver (either at both ends, or the servers) to agree on an encryption to use.

  • Mozilla needs to fix their poor image before trying email.

    Frankly, after the last few years I don't trust them with a browser, let alone email.

    Not happening. I already pay for an email service that has been privacy centric from the start, and has none of the bad news Mozilla does.

    Mozilla has flat out lied to us about changes in Firefox with "No, you just misunderstood what we're doing" . Why should anyone trust them with email?

    Pound sand Mozilla.

  • It's abnormal.

    That kind of speed requires 500hp+, depending on Cd and frontal area.

    What percentage of cars produce 500hp+?

    (I'm not even sure 500hp is enough, it's been a while since I've done the math).

    Small increments in speed require non-linear increases in power.

  • Lol, Play is an exploit.

    After 30 years in IT, I've seen 100x more systems taken down by updates than by exploits.

    Actually, I've never had a system taken down by an exploit, 100% of outages have been caused by borked updates or changes.

    I've had friends who's clients have been taken hostage by exploits, and 100% of those have been because of poor security practices and phishing - neither of which is preventable by updates.

    Here's a question, if almost no-one sideloads or uses FDroid, where do people get the millions of malicious apps from? Play Store.

    So where's the problem again? Oh, yea, Play Store.

    Why does Play need Play Protect if practically all apps come from Play Store?
