Aussie Aussie Aussie, oi oi oi you, you're fired: Apple sacks staff secretly snapping shoppers

Dieter Haussmann

"Then Apple users are even sillier than I thought. They should be asked to REMOVE the passcode before any work takes place,"

- Impossible due to Filevault encryption, the password is required BEFORE boot to unlock the hard disk. They should reenable Guest login (which is enabled by default) or create a new admin user this will give the option of rebooting to a Guest partition and allowing access to web-browser, wifi settings etc....

Internal storage access is only neccessary for software problems, technicians should boot from their own external troubleshooting disk for testing hardware and running tests.

VW Dieselgate engineer sings like a canary: Entire design team was in on it – not just a few bad apples, allegedly

Dieter Haussmann

Snitches get stitches.

I don't see it as that wrong, it's a bit like going to WeightWatchers on Thursdays, so on Thursdays we wear light clothes, eat nothing and perform a maximum defecation.

You should install smart meters even if they're dumb, says flack

Dieter Haussmann

Seeing that a cup of tea uses 3.1Kw for 90 seconds won't save anything unless I forgo the cup of tea.

That is not a saving, that is poverty.

These meters are not for the consumer, they are an AaaS (Austerity as a Service) device that allow remote cutting of power, snooping, tariff-shaping, rationing and other such nasties that will come in the post-democratic-era.

Tesla driver dies after Model S hits tree

Re: standard operating procedures

"What are the differences, in terms of firefighting, associated with tackling a Tesla compared to, say, a milk float, mobility vehicle, or whatever?" - 385volts vs. 48volts.

Why is it that women are consistently paid less than men?

Dieter Haussmann

WHy can women charge more for sex?

Why does anyone employ men when they could employ a woman to do the same job for a lot less money?

Well it did take place - a Satanic occult festival on CERN grounds and was attended by memebers of the NWO elite including Merkel and Hollande and EU Commisars.

It is even on Youtube!

BBC detector vans are back to spy on your home Wi-Fi – if you can believe it

Re: Once upon a time detector vans existed

In April 2017, the TV license is set to be decriminalised - I think OP just jumped the gun.

GMB tests Uber 'self-employed drivers' claim at London tribunal

I am self-employed and use ebay to sell my wares.

I have only sold a few things this month.

It works out at £0.11 per hour.

Can I sue them?

Since you love Flash so much, Adobe now has TWO versions for you

Dieter Haussmann

After taking it off my own and then all the ones I look after at work over a year ago, I now uninstall it from family and friends computers without telling them.

If they ask me to install an application or look why the printer doesn't work or some such, I fix that, uninstall Flash and then pass it back.

What's more, if you do find a page that requires Flash, change the UserAgent to iOS iPad and it almost always works fine. Why do BBC still demand flash but it still works fine if it thinks you are using an iPad.

Re: Paying for fuel

It clearly states within the App and on the pump to REMAIN IN YOUR CAR AND SCAN THE QR CODE and LEAVE YOUR PHONE IN THE CAR AS MOBILE PHONES ARE PROHIBITED ON THE FORECOURT.

It is rubbish though, often the 'system' is down and you have to preselect the amount of fuel you want to dispense and if you dispense less, it takes 7 days to get a refund. It is much easier to use a pay at pump station or visit the kiosk, it is only useful if you are money laundering or forgot your wallet but have your phone.

The only use I have found for QR codes in recent years in enrolling mobile devices in Meraki Systems Manager MDM.

EasyDoc malware adds Tor backdoor to Macs for botnet control

Dieter Haussmann

Mac users should periodically check the contents of:

/Users/yourself/Library/LaunchAgents

/Library/LaunchAgents

/Library/LaunchDaemons

Remove anything from these folders with a software name you don't recognise or that should not be starting up when you boot or log on without you knowing or asking it to.

Even if you delete something bona fide, it won't do any damage, it will just mean something like Adobe Autoupdater or Dropbox won't run automatically until manually run again.

Pollster who called the EU referendum right: No late Leave swing after all

Dieter Haussmann

Given the wide gamut of poll predictions, it was almost certain at least one would be right.

UK digi strategy on ice post Brexit results - sources

Dieter Haussmann

There is no need to, it will happen through natural wastage and future requirements.

Many countries outside of the EU follow EU standards for many things (when it suits them), such as Iran and China.

Dev boss: What will Microsoft do with Windows 10 Mobile? Surprise – it's for work!

Dieter Haussmann

Nobody wants to carry a Windows 10 mobile phone.

They (MS and HW partners) should pitch it as a feature-ritch cordless desk phone - a much needed replacement for horrible Cisco VOIP and Callmanger.

Stays on your desk, AD integration and Skype for business etc...

I'd like that.

Thunder struck: Apple kills off display line

Dieter Haussmann

Firewire was a huge success, it was on just about every Pro and Consumer DV camera for a decade and was the only way of downloading footage apart from buying a DV VCR. Eventually, it was suceeded by SD cards and faster USB 2.0/3.0.

Ericsson: 5G migration won't be a terrifying slog. No. We have ‘plug-ins’

Dieter Haussmann

Beam-forming is great but mobile devices are too compact to incorporate beam-forming MIMO antennas. So, we have cell towers that can beamform to the device but a low powered device which also can't beamform it's reply and so I worry that the device can 'hear' the tower, but not the other way round. Increasing gain on the tower would just increase the SNR.. How would this work?

Maplin Electronics demands cash with menaces

Dieter Haussmann

Maplins used to be tiny shops where most stuff was behind the counter and you filled catalogue numbers from a catalogue and handed it to staff to pick from small drawers. Then they opened big stores at retail parks full of toys and rubbish tech, disco lights etc.. They have gone downhill ever since.

They should have stayed small and then gone web-only or click and collect from the small shops.

If you bought it on credit card, just call the card issuer and request a chargeback and then tell microsnot where to pickup their junk and buy a new Macbook Pro next month.

Kill Flash now? Chrome may be about to do just that

Dieter Haussmann

Almost sage-like..

"On April 29, 2010, Steve Jobs, the co-founder and chief executive officer of Apple Inc., published an open letter called "Thoughts on Flash" explaining why Apple would not allow Flash on the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. He cited the rapid energy consumption, poor performance on mobile devices, abysmal security, lack of touch suppor."

Trouble at t'spinning rust mill: Disk drive production is about to head south

Dieter Haussmann

There is a massive shift away from HDD purchases by/for end-users. They have some years to go in data centres, but people only really have an HDD is new desktops these days. We even fit £35 120GB SSDs when a desktop PC or iMac HDD fails as they are now more cost effective.

Intel literally decimates workforce: 12,000 will be axed, CFO shifts to sales

UK authorities probe 'drone hitting plane at Heathrow'

Dieter Haussmann

I wouldn't go as far as to say these are staged or false flags (but there is definitely an agenda to stop the masses having access to such technology), but I have never seen a drone being flown in public and I'd like to think I get out a bit. It seems there are too many near misses to believe all of them and if someone said if you can fly this drone into that plane I'll give you £1m I still think you would be lucky to hit it. Is just the case that any time something bad happens they will pull out a smashed drone and blame them..

Also, I thought drones by definition were not flown by an operator but sent on a sortie and flew autonomously. These in the news being called drones are just radio controlled quadcopters.

Microsoft drives an Edge between Adobe and the web: Flash ads blocked

Dieter Haussmann

I am tired of Flash aren't you?

We are living in the first year of the post-Flash era - doesn't it feel great I know I feel great.

We need to kick out Flash and make the internet great again.

Users are calling me up all the time and do you know what they are saying? they are saying thank you for uninstalling Flash from my computer it runs great now.

Dear Windows, OS X folks: Update Flash now. Or kill it. Killing it works

Dieter Haussmann

Hopefully this hoohah will be it's death.

Adobe preps emergency Flash patch for bug hackers are exploiting

Dieter Haussmann

I look after a few hundred Mac desktops and In October 2015, I got fed up and reimaged them sans-flash after officially considering it to be malware.

I had all my reasons and excuses ready yet not a single user complained to date.
