Why Microsoft patches and updates are mostly bullshit http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/24713/why-microsoft-patches-and-updates-are-mostly-bullshit Mon, 09 Nov 2020 12:25:31 +0000 Vitaliy_Kiselev 24713@/talks/discussions image

In reality on 98% of all Windows PC you have one of this drivers installed, almost all PCs you have multiple of them. Yellow here means that you can use feature indirectly via other available methods.

In reality it is much more, on each notebook it is especially nice set :-)

And ANY software can use it to access Ring 0 resources, including for many of them - physical memory, ports and so on.

France: Government decided to help Amazon during hard times http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/24712/france-government-decided-to-help-amazon-during-hard-times Mon, 09 Nov 2020 12:08:34 +0000 Vitaliy_Kiselev 24712@/talks/discussions

A new order of the French government to first close bookstores, then ban the sale of books in the departments of the entertainment network FNAC. Finally, the book sales departments in all retail chains were closed.

Further, from the forbidden - all toys (2 months before the New Year!), and cosmetics! Moreover, personal hygiene products remain. A separate mention was made for doing haircut at home, and all kinds of cosmetic procedures. They are strictly prohibited. Apparently, that is why the sale of cosmetics is prohibited - so that women do not go anywhere and there are no places where you can put yourself in order.

Amazon is expected to more than triple sales in France of all this product categories.

Tiny, efficient, portable, no protection. Small shortage is that it requires .NET 3.5 (too few native programmers left :-( )

Capitalism: LetsEncrypt owned by Google will try to force you to upgrade smartphone http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/24708/capitalism-letsencrypt-owned-by-google-will-try-to-force-you-to-upgrade-smartphone Sun, 08 Nov 2020 04:10:31 +0000 Vitaliy_Kiselev 24708@/talks/discussions

According to Android Police, Certificate Authority Let’s Encrypt is warning that phones running Android versions before 7.1.1 Nougat won’t trust its root certificate starting in 2021, locking them out of many secure websites. The organization will stop default cross-signing for the certificate that enables this functionality on January 11th, 2021, and will drop the cross-signing partnership entirely on September 1st of that year.

You can try to install Firefox and use its own certificate store, but that won’t help with rival clients or functionality beyond browsers.

About 33.8 percent of Android users on Google Play run a version older than 7.1.

This is that happen if you have literal monopoly on free certificates.
