've been an Android user since I got my first Samsung Galaxy S3 and getting ads on the standard launcher on my Philips Android TV was one step too much.

Google will start showing ads in the launcher sooner or later. I might be paying more money for the Apple equivalent, but they aren’t as hostile to their users as Google are.

In its email, Google states that it is closing down the program because of the “overall increase in the Android OS security posture and feature hardening efforts.” This has led to researchers submitting fewer vulnerabilities than before.

1. Vulnerabilities are found, which shows that the program is successful and needed.
2. No vulnerabilities are found, no money will have to leave Google.

Keeping the program will reap the benefits from both no. 1 and no.2 while closing down the program only enables no.2.

Not hard to see the priorities here…

Ok. I too hate that everything is directed to cloud and saving locally is treated like something strange that no one wants.

The day Autodesk removes the capability for local save (“export your files from cloud” in some Autodesk website is not the same as saving files directly from Fusion 360) is the day I leave Fusion 360.

Wait what?

So when I save my F3D files locally I don’t get the whole project in the file?

Both are CL 19 do you should be fine.

This is awesome. Didn’t know there were ESP32 with integrated e-ink screens.

I still miss a cheap ESP32 device that can run on an18650 or two for a longer period.

This repository and its releases do not contain game assets. The original game is required to build or run this project.

Nintendo might try but there wouldn’t be much substance in such claim.

Porn (“Pornography”)

Printed or visual material containing the explicit description or display of sexual organs or activity, intended to stimulate sexual excitement.

While this might be food, there’s literally nothing exciting in that picture.

Said no one ever about porn.

Not even if Windows and Linux were on different partitions on the same disk would Windows be able to access the files on the Linux partition without the key.

Just pointing out that s separate disks doesn’t change anything. The data, in its encrypted form, will be inaccessible without the decryption key.

Yup. /r/Datahoarder guided me right. Got two of the recommended model of MyBook and shucked them. This was 2-3 years ago. Disks are still going strong in my NAS.

History is full of companies who went under because they didn’t analyze and predict what would hurt their bottom line…

That’s $80 per kg.

That chart doesn’t say anything about system resource usage.

Edit: found the performance chart now. Still no explanation on what performance tests(more than two sentences) they performed and how the scoring was applied.

Interesting. Do you have links that support your claims that I can read up on?

Yeah, that was you continuing to show how inexperienced you are.

For a remote exploit to work the computer or device has to expose ports to the network your computer is connected to.

“Remote” means that the vulnerability does not require local access. So if your friend connects his infected device to your wifi, all devices connected to the same network essentially are at risk, depending on what’s listening on the devices and what vulnerabilities they have.

Your idea about avoiding bad websites is ridiculous. History is full of examples where third party ads had been created to infect one way or another. That’s ads that users on legitimate site were exposed to. That’s just one little example. There have been numerous examples of malicious sleeping JavaScript code that suddenly wakes up and contacts it’s command-and-control server and then download malicious JavaScript code to unknowing site visitors.

Furthermore, you didn’t understand my question. Of course antivirus is able to stop malware it recognizes that enters through a remote exploit. The user with antivirus would at least have a chance of knowing that something was up each time and attempt to infect was made.

You on the other hand would sit there clueless with your little zombie computer and laugh at all them script kiddies.

But hey… You just continue trying to infect others around you with bad security advice and have a good day. I’m outta here.

You ok?

I explained what a remote exploit was and gave examples of remote exploits.

Are you claiming that antivirus isn’t able to detect malware entering through an remote exploit?

Either you’re just ignorant or your working in the Russian malware industry.

Remote exploits doesn’t have anything to do with you running any infected executables. It’s about vulnerabilities in executables that you are running. Read up on the zx vulnerability or the log4j vulnerability.

One really really old attack vector is a buffer overflow attack. For example, if you’re running a clean VLC to watch a movie and your VLC is older than version 3.0.12 you’re at risk. The video file, that you “purchased” on PirateBay, could have been manipulated to crash VLC and force VLC run a specific payload in the video file. If that payload is ransomware it’s game over for you.

Yeah, just like wearing a seatbelt doesn’t guarantee that you don’t get injured, antivirus doesn’t guarantee that your computer won’t get infected.

But there’s no doubt about the usefulness of both seatbelt and antivirus.

I fully agree.

But my main point was that they’re taking an extreme risk if they’re running without active antivirus and access the network in one or another way.
