  • 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.








  • I was a Freshman in High School when I found my parents sex library and I read every damn one of those things, including “The Joy of Sex”, at least twice. While others were still fumbling around trying to figure out basic mechanics I was busy getting busy…very busy.

    Edit: I tracked down the “Joy of Lesbian Sex” early in my Junior year of High School. That knowledge was amazingly useful until I graduated College and got married.

    Parents who don’t educate their kids on Sex, and adults who never bother educating themselves about Sex are making a huge mistake.



  • 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.



  • 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.
