A big problem is that the elderly are those getting scammed the most. The elderly have been punished for bank usage every step on the way by the banks that wants nothing more then to cut costs. The banks removed all types of services the elderly population where using. Cash bill payments, cash investment, cash withdrawal/deposit and general handling of cash.
They also made their ID verification extremely unsecure with their property Bank ID solution and did nothing for a decade to make any effort to make it remotely safe to use (until this May of 2024 where you need to scan a QR code next to you with a pin).
All the scammers needed to do was call the elderly say it they where from the bank and ask them to input their pin on the phone to transfer everything they ever had out of their account.
Many of the elderly are tech-illiterate and don't understand and some even have problems with a normal debit card.
The banks always pointed the blame towards those they removed the services from. Made unsecure solutions that they did not understand all for the sake of vast profits.
As some other user said mugging might be down because it was easier for the criminals to not only steal some few cash from a mugging but everything you ever saved for an entire life with tiny scams.
If I had to guess I would say that at the moment, the Russian government isn't meddling with Kaspersky. But if the Russian government got really desperate, they could always try to use Kaspersky as a vehicle for delivering malware.
I don't give a fuck what Microsoft is doing with ARM, but I do wonder if releasing ARM laptops to the market will have an effect on Linux. It'd be great to get a Linux machine with MacBook-like silence, battery life and cool operation. Asahi is doing some work there for Apple's implementation. Anyone with some Linux development experience that can shed some light?
id like to know too. i know for a fact the have been mainlining arm drivers to linux and standardizing it not unlike x86. we even have ways to run x86 code on arm.
So they can't completely turn off the extra instructions from the enterprise P-cores?
If Linux goes ahead and lets the scheduler use the full enterprise microcode, do you think we'll find that the actual instructions are not fused?
I mean w11 was basically initiated because of Intel's asymmetrical cores and the w10 scheduler's limitations, as far as I understand it.
I just want the full enterprise P-core AVX instruction set, and I have the 12th gen that is most likely to work with the right microcode. It would just be funny if W11 doesn't support such a complex scheduler and Linux does. The implications would be large.
Apple has had a lot of oss code, either through having acquired oss tech or making their own code oss. Certainly not the majority of their code, but some.
This sounds like a pain in the ass to maintain. Either you are trusting Microsoft to give you a whitelist of “good” domains or you have the IT department having to jump to action every time a user tries to connect to a new site. If you are just using it to track dns queries then you have to trust that the whole software suite of the organization is playing nice and not using any hard-coded IP addresses or doing any dns lookups in a bad way, which with custom legacy software, good luck.
Also, is this just a server change, or will all the client boxes have to be updated for this? That will be a pain in any network with a mix of OSes on it.
Truly one of the dumbest theories I have ever heard. If you and I are talking, and we are not being recorded or overheard, those "messages" disappear immediately. Signal allows us to have nearly the same privacy face-to-face verbal communications have.
