@mirekrusin: "I don't know anything about it, but this starts to look a bit like public lynching."

Maybe 'lern_too_spel' means something much worse. Like the product of such blanket surveillance being used by the spooks to blackmail our purported democratically elected leaders. A bit like the Praetorian Guard ended up effectively ruling the Roman Empire.

@cyberlab: “Is there the rare case that we shouldn't update because the update could contain a malicious payload?”

You don't ever update your security “computers” from some third-party outsourcer. What you do is have your own people constantly probing their own systems for potential vulnerability and patching it themselves.

* jeez ..SolarWinds run their stuff on FTP and "active directory". It's got to be a joke.

* “computers” .. not allowed to use the 'W' word ;]

Don't put remote control software* on your security infrastructure such that when a third party gets hacked, your whole network is exposed.

* The presence of such software making it that much more easy to hijack your “computers”

* Please “Hacker News”, no more anti-Russian neocon propaganda. Who's really to blame is the idiot that put that configuration in, in the first place.

risyachka: “I'd argue that the only difference between prostitution and not prostitution is mindset.”

That, and you don't have to take them to dinner and there's no financial transaction involved.

> I mean, good? Defending the nation and its citizenry (including their businesses) is ostensibly one pillar of the NSA's mission. Glad to see them act upon it.

One backdoor got found-out so the NSA goes public with a pretend security announcement. Microsoft “security” is designed to keep the casual browser out but not prevent the state security apparatus getting access to your data, anytime anywhere. Anyone who says different is a fool or is invested in the “cyber security” business.

@na85:"Aerospace engineer here."

Appealing to authority.

> That statement is from the airline, not from Boeing, so I'm more inclined to trust it ..

On an unstable aircraft such as the 737 Max, if the trim fails then the nose pitches-up, precipitating a stall, unless the pilot can execute a manual trim. Which is difficult without electrical-power-assist fed to the wheel. As the wheel was made smaller to allow for bigger displays.

It's not the engineers pain, as it wasn't an engineering decision to mount the engines higher and forward of the wing. Precipiting a pronounced nose-up aspect. All the same, I admire your attempt to deflect blame from the management at boeing.

If it can be accessed from the Internet, then it ain't security camera. The perps can tell when you're not in :]

Without any verifiable evident, it just doesn't make sense. There is a continual exchange of information between Wuhan and other centers of disease control. So it would be very difficult to keep such a secret. Besides, if it was a virus that escaped, then the Chinese would already have the means to create a vaccine and so save the planet. Instead they did nothing and sat on it.

@chefkoch: "Yes, but why would that help?"

Most/all of these ransomware attacks use the built-in Windows encryption.

@cl0ckt0wer: "You bough a brand new computer without an SSD?"

I already have an SSD, I was planning on installing it and using the harddrive as an archive. Then adding some extra RAM and an M.2 memory card.

Is it possible to disable the built-in encryption in Microsoft Windows?
