Re: ...and where exactly do you live in the US?

Canada (426/1000000)100 = % 0.0426... %99.9574 recovery rate

USA (1059/1000000)100 = % 0.1059... % 99.8941 recovery rate

Japan (31/1000000)100 = % 0.0031... % 99.9969 recovery rate

Canadian's are in general healthier people than Americans, obesity and diabetes are two big factors in deaths below the age of 70.

Italy had many deaths as well but they are a country known for having some of the longest lived people in the world... Age is another factor.

Not trying to defend anyone here just trying to show some of the logic behind the numbers. Personally I think all governments have taken a facility approach to society in general. The measures being used work well for a facility/lab but horribly for society at large.

Take Japan for example they have a low death rate but they only suggested the lockdown (not enforced) of the most vulnerable (the elderly) and they have some of the lowest death rate in the world. So your numbers don't have much meaning unless to bring it into context.

I have seen demonisation on both side of the political isle so if you argue a point that can be backed up with facts don't forget the most important thing is logic. Just spewing numbers like it has meaning is pointless to those who do their homework but only confuse the rest.

Biden won, he will be inaugurated. It is done, go home relax and keep the peace. Gas lighting will only get innocent people killed whether you are red or blue.

Item 6 if not kept a close eye will destroy all life on this planet... 418 ppm will be more like 800ppm if we don't get a handle on them.

Re: The deep IT

WTF are you talking about 99% of industrial computers are linux... yes in the office where people use word and excel yes that is proprietary but all the iot sensors out there... seriously where in hell do you get your information.

What about the billions of Android devices out there. Has anyone ever heard of AWS, or Facebook, or Google, or Twitter, or Snapchat or Instagram, or or or or.... All linux ALL of them.

Seriously what is wrong with you, even Microsoft realises it, making and Android phone, and bringing many things to native linux not to mention the most recent desire to bring IE to linux.

Holy crap you are delusional to think that anything serious is doable in windows. Maybe Mac OS sure cause BSD not cause Apple. Heck any time I have to do binary reversals or profile a system it is always infinitely better from Linux than Windows, windows with all its "that folder is too deep" and "that filename is too long" and "I can read anymore cause, I don't fucking know I'm windows use a real system to figure it out".

I don't know how many times that I'm tearing through TB's of data and windows blows up and I have to start over again. Never have anywhere near the same issues on Linux, it just works.

So yeah any serious works does not get done on Windows. Those who do, are kinda like people kept their 8-track cassette players decades past their utility or these days DVD's and CD's. So yeah people who think "It must be done from proprietary" are complete dumbasses. It should be "what ever gets it done, I don't give a fuck just get it done" which Linux has and will always be the quickest and easiest path there. Its free, no need for approval from finance just do it. No need to deal with problems of deployment cause licenses or how about license servers like flexlm or ace... no worries about that anymore just git-your-chit-going.

So your good with child labour then.

Would be the worst thing though methane is known to be a much strong green house gas than carbon dioxide. And then there is:

Re: Not very profitable.

First thought I had was... 30k really like real hackers make millions how you gonna think your going to attract anyone for 30K most companies pay 10K per bug cause it actually costs that but considering they are saving heaps of time on top it is still a deal. 30k Total ain't gonna git you much.

Re: So, how does this conpare with other mfgs of similar products?

Does it really matter if they are better or not than others, the Brits have more than one report on the matter and it iterates several times about engineering practices and things aren't getting better. Does anyone understand what a "smart" future means regarding these type of vulnerabilities... green lights in ever direction at intersections, Baltimore (need I say more, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Baltimore_ransomware_attack), banking systems taken out over night, power grids, trains, plains and automobiles.... never mind someone hacking your facebook type stuff is of negative concern. I don't care who makes it, even the guy sitting beside me, all critical infrastructure technology must be audited by 3rd party so these tech companies better be ready to hand over source or no critical infrastructure contract at all, that is my opinion and full disclosure I do white/black box auditing but having seen some of the stuff I have seen is why I feel this way.

Imagine buying a car without a crash test rating, black/grey/white box is the technology equivalent of crash test and if the auto industry is forced to do this before they can even advertise a model then all critical infrastructure appliances/IoT/computer/digital/electronic/telecoms.. must be audited.

Re: Its the updates

There is your problem don't use 3rd party repos. I know it is hard sometimes to not do this but you will have an extremely stable experience. FYI what you can do is install synaptic and select the library in question and press ctrl-E (or select Package in the file menu and then select "Force Version") which will let you revert back to original ubuntu repo version so you can undo the 3rd party repo changes. It's a bit of pain in the a$$ but things can be fix ... unlike windows where your pretty much F'ed and clean install is by far the easiest and quickest way to a fix.

Advice to the linux noobs, only use big vendor 3rd party repos like oracle (cringe, don't like to say it but...) google (again cringe, do(n't) be evil) or repos that have had many years of existence.

I know it is a bit tough at first for everyone who has made this transition has had these pains but it does subside.... talking from experience.

It took me about 5 years to go from "WTH just happened, black screen, WTF is going on", or "What is this kernel panic thing repeating on my screen, WTH is a kernel..." or being told (post 2005) "be careful if you don't set things properly in linux you could burn out your hardware" to being the linux expert in the office. Now I run my own lab and only use Windows where I am forced to (and believe me I fight to get a linux desktop every time). Was recently told that my workstation in the lab are going to upgraded and since this is my lab and I am responsible for everything within it I demanded linux, and the excuse what about new people that come in... my response is "This is security engineering, there is no such thing as I don't know linux and if that is the case why did you hire him/her... I don't want them". Like seriously anyone who has graduated any security course like anywhere in the world has heard of Kali so no excuses. If you passed your course then you know linux, period.
