of course it does nothing to stop it, because you start your scenario after the stop has been made. you don't know the ip of the lan machine. the public machine receiving it's outbound packet doesn't either.
but here's your simple test for the home of why nat helps with security.
take a winxp machine. connect it to your lan. come back tomorrow. it's not infected.
now connect it to the wan and wait about 2 minutes. you have several viruses.
then, go back here, and tell us how despite nat protecting you from viruses, it does not.
then we'll all laugh.
you lock your door. but a guy can pick the lock. so why do you lock it?
in the real world, nat adds security. wep for wifi is enough security for your home lan. and dvd encryption works for preventing copying. just like your house key. by reducing the attack surface by 99%.
but i know i won't convince you, so stay with your opinion. but apply it also to vaccines.
they got banned on a technicality: they said children are almost immune from covid. this, to a regular person means there is almost no danger to children. which is absolutely true. so the thing to do here, is to ditch twitter and move to a free platform. one that let's you post text, and for others to reply. so about a thousand other services. twitter can do what it wants, and we are free not to use it. free speech is free speech, and to have our government's speech censored by corporations is just funny.
talk about disconnected from society. a lot of people have seen him on a magazine or heard the name on the news. along with about 20 other names. every day. for decades. and the name is forgotten an hour later, with a thousand other names.
as far as your point, the 1% of people here reading recognized the name. didn't know why, then googled and remembered. the jury is not here. it's '12 random people from the dmv,' and they don't recognize it, nor will they care to google it. they don't even know who steve jobs is, and won't google it on their iphone.
why would i google it for you -do it yourself if you don't know instead if asking people to do it for you.
hint: it does not mean 'spec.' for example, on a phone, lcd screen is not a feature. oled screen is a feature.
now, what is not a feature for most people may be a feature for you. just like if you like tap water, a restaurant filling your glass from the faucet may be a feature for you. which does not make it a feature.
edit: since the snowflake replying disabled replies.. no. it's more like claiming 'lcd screen' in the spec is a feature in the world of oled phones. so not a feature.
no one claimed it was a feature. it has a jack, some phones don't, so they state it does. this does not mean 'feature.'
it's a part of the spec, so they list it. it's not sad or bad or good -it just is.
for me, i want just usb-c, and no headphone port is a plus. same for sd card, same for removable battery. i thought all of those were important to me, until i realized i haven't actually used any of this in 10 years. yes, a headphone port adds just a tiny bit of thickness and weight. so does the removable battery. so does an sd reader. it all adds up, and adds a little cost. for things i don't want.
so not a feature, not advertized as one, and for a lot of people, not something they want. you do, so get the phone that suits you.
you update drivers on your phone? i just flash a new rom. it's got all the drivers i need in it. and on a phone from 2011, i can put the latest operating system. you cannot. you then spout the superior glory of being stuck on an outdated version because you got a security patch. how is that superior to also security patches, and even latest os if you want?
you don't need anything from dell to update windows. you literally just install windows.
the reason i bring up linux isn't clear? because android runs on it.
linux is community supported. just like you can get linux from redhat, you can get your android rom from large companies. lineageos is a popular one.
i won't argue with the rest of that, as you are arguing open source is inferior. one you convince every enterprise out there not to use open source, you can revisit this with me.
you are also arguing all servers and consumer pcs should be made by microsoft, since they run windows.
can your mom upgrade windows 7 to windows 10 without you helping her?
i actually do know what's in the rom. and so does. anyone else who wants to check. and you have hundreds of 3rd party people who do. source code is available. you're literally arguing hardware and software should be tied together to the hardware manufacturer. the entire world of computers disagrees.
a normal person downloads a recovery app and the rom, and uses the app to flash any rom they want. what you're saying is you'd rather get your windows updates from lenovo. software and hardware are different things.
dear googler. fyi -this is what that thinking and lack of integrity and support does:
you have gcp. working for vars over the years, per year i sell over $10mil of solutions that run or dr to cloud. i have not once put gcp as an option in front of a customer - all azure or aws. google has, and will, lose millions in gcp revenue. because of me. and this is true for most vars.
now, as far as others in my office -8 people like me. only one puts gcp in proposals. he's new.
this is very common. we don't trust or respect your offerings -too flaky, not going to risk our customer relationship when you drop the ball and we get the hit for proposing a bad solution. and yours are all bad solutions. not because of function -because it's risky for a business to be involved with you in any way, or count on you for anything.
you probably lose 50-80mil annually from my office alone. and it's not just lost cash. it goes to your direct competitors.
and i don't know a single person who wants you to fix your practices and act like a real company. only 2 real cloud players drives up prices, and we get more on our spiffs.
and last i checked, aws and azure have been, are, and will always be kicking your ass. because even if you fix your business practices now, you'll have to wait 30 years before all the sales staff and company decision makers retire. and that is eternity in tech time.
that's cute. 2011 you say? you can run android 10 (current latest release) on galaxy s2. released in 2011. and it's actually usable, because screencandy has been removed to give it a perf boost. can you run ios 13.6 on your 2011 iphone 4s?
i know in the iphone world it's important how long apple updates it. in the android world that doesn't apply. the manufacturer doesn't have to. because literally anyone can, and does.
so you are delusional. no, 50 years ago, before maternity leave, we were not a 'tribal society.' you also literally think no maternity leave would wipe humans off the planet. this is not sane.
and as far as teenage angst... i'm 40 years old and married. and when i see resumes of women who i think might have kids within 5 years, i throw them in the trash. nit because of maternity leave, but because i don't want entitled people working with me. enjoy your grip.
tax rebates -aka a tax deduction for each child already exists. this passes the tax burden to people without kids, and is also unfair. rebates would also be unfair. a child is not a rebate. what i don't get is why a child is treated as a child for taxes.
a tax return should be for the family -a joint return. you take wife+husband+kids. you add up all the salary. and you divide by number of tax payers. exactly how a joint return is now, but count kids.
this puts you in a much, much lower tax bracket, and saves you more than a rebate or dependent. it is actually unfair in my opinion to do it another way, and has nothing to do with babies. your family household just pays taxes on its income. and without various programs designed to steal from people without kids. and that's what maternity leave is -stealing.
you have to be kidding. you do know our species did just fine for 200,000 years, before maternity leave, which is a recent thing. you think humanity will die out if a policy that's maybe 50 years old is cancelled? please tell me you're not serious.
a vast majority of voters are of course going to vote for what benefit them, not the company that employs them -that is not proof of what is right or ethical.
the company doesn't magically pick up the bill. they simply pay all people a little less, while spending more on just the ones with babies. this means people without babies pay for the babies. in no way is that fair. biology is unfair. that doesn't mean you can just pass on the cost to innocent bystanders.
being short is unfair. should i pay for short people?
our species behaves just fine. parents have an extra burden and need to be financially secure to handle a baby. without forcing random others to help with that. because it's unethical, and the term for that is tyranny of the majority. two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner.
but cool. let's go with your voter idea. let's let the whites vote on whether blacks should be slaves.
that's not a plot. that's a refusal to let you externalize your baby costs to innocent people. do you want your company, which hired you to write code, to pay for your diapers too? what do they have to do with you having a baby? why are they paying you money when you are not working? why are they expected to spend more total money on you, than your equal who chose not to have a baby?
baby -awesome. you were hired for work. keep your petsonal life out of the office please. if you cannot perform your job due to a baby, you don't get paid.
having a baby is expensive and after taking time off -sorry, you're no longer at the same skill level. you want to do it? awesome. you are not entitled to externalize your costs to other people.
the detectives referenced in the article are just a loud da posturing. it's the special operations division, and all they can do is launch a probe -not enforce anything, or arrest anyone.
just because you have a secretary employed by you doesn't mean she's allowed to rewire your electric because you tell her. if the detectives try to actually arrest police or feds, they themselves would be arrested. by the police and the feds.
this da is simply on a power grab, just like trump, while accusing trump of a power grab. 2 monkeys throwing poop at each other in a war about how different they are.
i don't need to 'google' what closing one eye does. that's the whole point of my comment. you claim it's unreasonable when people use their eyes for basic information. i say having to google what your own eyes tell you is what is unreasonable.
i kept the phone because they refused to pay $8 to the mailing service to pick it up at my door. when shit shows up randomly at your door, you do not have the obligation to spend an hour of you time taking a trip to the ups location, standing in line, mailing it, then going back home. now if like with amazon they come to my house to pick it up -it's theirs. but they thought they could force people to mail it. they lost.
my justification is: a random person cannot mail me crap and expect me to spend free time and effort to mail it back. they're free to pay ups to do that, or get it themselves. at my door. my justification is, entitled people in a high horse can do whatever they want, but they have zero power over me to get me to do something.
