GPT vs MBR

MBR formatted disks are the real issue here. The 1803 update won’t apply if you have rolled out your workforce’s images on the old disk formatting standard. This update will force it admins to convert to uefi pure booting and get rid of legacy boot for good.

Tired of despairing of Trump and Brexit? Why not despair about YouTube stars instead?

It’s about the kids

Sincerely this article is from an adults point of view and hence I agree the stuff is rubbish. My kids though see it differently and love the vid games and useless hijinks. This is where the clicks come from and hence the revenue. My kids would watch more YouTube than tv if I let them. I’d rather tv that is governed by broadcasting and classification standards then editorial YouTube stuff. At least I know there is a framework as to what content is allowed. Also news reports have legal requirements to report on facts, not interpretive, editorial dialogs that YouTube stars execute. I believe this is the bigger issue here where young minds can discriminate between both due to the fact they don’t have traditional journalism (papers, radio, TV) to build their greater social awareness on. I limit Youtube, balance with active play and discuss these day to day issues with them as I feel that’s my responsibility as a parent and opportunity as someone they grew up in a traditional world of information having a general, relative greater integrity to what is now available.

Comodo CA acquired by Francisco Partners ...

So this is the “break even” point then on the CA/firewall vendor graph.

Will this mean all sonic wall admins will only need to tick a box called “MitM” ?

Talk about not even having to deploy your own CA cert anymore.

What’s going to happen now? Firewalls with Comodo root CA baked in?

Installing disks is basically LEGO, right? This admin failed LEGO

Re: Not a PC

Respectfully mate, actually very dangerous.

Circuit breakers are meant to be inline with their load.

A 5A light shorts, the 30a fuse won't blow before the wires turn into white hot light.

The fuse on any circuit needs to be matched to the load. If the fuse is over rated it will simply not do its job and allow items down circuit to blow.

Eg: my house had the aircon on the light circuit (7.5A) and the lights on the aircon circuit (10A).

Aircon would trip all te time.

If the lights ever went bad, the chance of the wrong fuse doing its job is very low.

Very dangerous situation. I'm a 30 year old, 15m copper cable with too much load and the bite out of my cable from the rat 2 years ago will now cause arcing - didn't before because a fuse would trip before the arcing occurs, not now..
