  3. Yes, Human.Online is 100% correct and it's something I probably should've highlighted more specifically in the article -- once the drive is decrypted (entirely done on the thumb drive itself), it works exactly like any regular USB thumb drive and so can be used on any system. All the processing is done on the drive, so there's no drivers to install on any system. I just added clarification to the specifications section to address your question - thanks for the feedback. "The USB drive contains a rechargeable battery. This lets you type in the PIN and unlock the device before connecting the datAshur PRO2 to a USB port on your computer. Since all of the encryption and decryption is done on the thumb drive itself, the datAshur PRO2 can be used on Windows, Mac, and Linux without the need to install any drivers. If the battery dies from lack of use, you can still plug it into a computer and unlock the drive while it's charging."

  12. western government relied on WHO for their actions. if the WHO said the virus was a serious business from the start everyone would have acted promptly We relied on the WHO for Ebola as well. We had 2 deaths in the US because President Obama's administration was swift and took action EARLY. This time it was, "I'm a businessman. I don't like people to be just hanging around. I figured we could just call Home Advisors or read the Yelp reviews and get em in here quickly." That worked to get us 50 thousand dead and counting. this is wrong. Ebola was contained. there was no death or spread in 94 percent of the globe. you are just saying rubbish. i believe the deaths in US are from people who went their to help. doctors who went to help. You believe? Where have I heard this before? Oh yeah, "we only have 5 and soon to be zero". Yeah, got cha.

    Not really, they just said he wasn't dead. But that means nothing coming from SK. I'm sure they would have their reasons to say he isn't dead. And China being NK's biggest ally would have said as much themselves if he wasn't, today they sent medical experts in to investigate the allegations.

  19. well we have 7 people in the house and 9 switches. I buy digital but everyone else would share 2 or 3 copies of a particular game but now that we are all home everyone is buying digital. If I owned a Switch (I'm not going to, there is way too much jank around the stupid thing) I would buy physical since they are not more expensive than digital, and Switch only has 32GBs of storage and SD cards are slow and expensive. I still don't understand why there is no 128GB model lol.

    The ironic thing is people moping about this 'privacy issue' is they are happy to provide their details to big commerce like Google and Apple, just by owning the devices... Like all things you have weight it up... This isn't some advertisement malware, this collects valuable data which helps to save lives with minimal effort. So please don't be selfish about it.

Thank you for being civil and respectful. While we may not agree on curtain subjects, I will respect that you at least have conviction and and hold no hard feelings.

  28. the fact that jester is bashing trump instead shows he is just one of those progressives told by cnn to hate trump Sorry, don't need CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, or any other news organizations that you believe are corrupt because they do no agree with your view and can't stand when people criticize you lord in chief. I take my views from watching the XXL Umpa-Lumpa tell people to inject disinfectant and and bleach. He has no ability to turn off his reality TV personality because that's who he truly is, a person masquerading as a business genius that has bankrupted every business he touches. Bit keep believing that anyone that doesn't agree with you that we are all the political pawns. Last word I will say is if you really believe he is innocent in all of this and it was all WHO's fault, then why did we ignore it when they came out in mid-January with their alerts and we took till March to actually react. If the WHO is idiotic and corrupt, we make them look like rockstars. Thanks for playing and like you call me a CNN stooge, go back to your Faux News and Breitbart because they are definitely the best this country has /s <- the correct way to actually signal sarcasm...

  30. 2FA via SMS isn't secure, 2FA via an authenticator app is the best way to go. ::rolls eyes:: It's totally fine for most users and general hacking efforts. The weakness of SMS requires a very targeted attack and isn't the kind of thing going on in articles like this. To flat out call it "insecure" is like calling a housekey insecure because someone could copy it. I realize a bunch of articles went around some time ago about how SMS wasn't a good form of 2FA and a bunch of armchair experts internalized that and now scoff at the mere mention of it, but it's still better than no 2FA at all.

  36. Let's just say that there is enough blame to go around in this case. China tried to flat out cover up the outbreak, the WHO was on their side and never questioned the information given to them from the CCP. Taiwan was blowing the horn early but no one gave a care because of political reasons. Western governments acted slow in many cases when they should have been quick with lock downs. And last but not least you also have, and still do, a % of people who never took the pandemic seriously and didn't follow quarantine who probably helped spread this thing even more.

  38. Bill Gates calls Trump's de-funding of WHO dangerous

    Yes everyone made mistakes, nobody was prepared but WHO is a bigger picture org and they failed to ring the alarms about the pandemic in China to take protective measures. There is no transparency about their COVID-19 activities either which makes people think they arent doing something. They are certainly not talking about distributing ventialtors and decontamination of developing and 3rd world countries, there is no talk of vaccines. But even then, this is uncharted waters even for the WHO, it's easy to say they should have known what they were doing but looking at the actions of most countries is showing most didn't know what they were doing or worse, too many were putting the economy first before the well-being of its people. Either way, there is a lot of blame to go around and a lot of soul-searching, a lot of tough questions need to be asked with a lot of governments and with any luck, many will be held to account, especially in the west where we reacted to this way too slow even when we knew about this virus. I am sorry but this is just empty talk. Yes local governments could of done more and same goes for precious EU. The "alliance" is divided there is no task force at any level to take care of practicalities like venitlators, protective gear for first line staff, vaccine, tracking infections. EU showed its true colours that its nothing more than big boi business and WHO has shown that its outdated and in desparate need of a shake up. local governments as well should of organised a task force or appoint a minister on this big subject. End of the day we looked at scientists for reasoning and they told us we need to hide under a rock. infections arent significantly slowing down, deaths arent either. And then we get all that speculative talk based on statistics that it affects elderly, vulunerable teams, asian and black and all this BS that people come up based on numbers and not a single scientific fact. Why is each country and local institutions working independently for a vacine? Why isnt WHO organising something? It's not about could they have done more but how effective they would be, this virus doesn't care about petty things like borders and nationalism and because of that, we needed a more coordinated response to this virus which so far we have done really poor on that and even the US have done poor on that where US states are having to fend for themselves. As for the EU, how did it show it's true colours when it's got limited powers in how it can help in these areas? don't you think the real guilty ones are the euroseptics that held the EU's hands behind it's back, demanding control back at a national level, it also begs the question how many lives that died could have been saved if it wasn't for the petty bickering? This virus has exposed a massive hole in the argument that euroseptics kept telling us and people are losing their lives because of it, the question is, will we learn from that mistake once the dust settles. As for the WHO, they do need a shake up, I agree but the US response to it is reckless and likely puts more lives at risk, so reform the WHO, make it more accountable and then asks the real tough questions on the incompetents of many national governments like the US that treated this virus like a joke. As for infections and deaths, it was always going to take about 2 months of a full lock down and the countries that did that more effectively are already showing it's working, some countries are a bit soft on the lock down and they are paying the price for that now. At the end of the day, too many countries in Asia took this virus serious and clamped down on it hard whereas us in the west were making jokes about it and reacted to it to slow and even when we did react to it, we are doing a poor job of it, like it or not, this is showing the west in a very poor light.

  39. They are also getting rid of one of the reasons people justify the price of buying them. Many people justify the cost because you can run Windows on it as well but if that is gone they will lose a few buyers for sure. I used to do tech support at a college and many of the students had to use Bootcamp and/or virtualization to run the Windows only stuff.

The ability to get devs on board (sometimes even their own internal teams) has been the biggest issue for MS in the past decade, and I would say a large reason why platforms Windows Phone/Mobile, Windows RT, and UWP have not been successful. While the X86 and in the future X86-64 emulation makes it less of an issue for Windows 10 on ARM, it is nonetheless not an ideal position for MS.

  50. Bill Gates calls Trump's de-funding of WHO dangerous

    Darn sure hope you are correct. The guy is nothing but a lying imbecile that shouldn't have gotten elected to begin with! Whether or not we pay the most is almost irrelevant. Some body has to pay the most whether by a lot or a little. Just look at the idiots he's picked for his new task force to see what kind of idiot he is! Why do we have to pay? Trump is a business man - if we're not getting a return on our investment into this organization it's good business sense to stop throwing money at it. At most every American would pay $1 into the WHO with the current population. Compare that to the thousands upon thousands of dollars per person for the stimulus package. You just said he is a business man, and so he is not a doctor or a health professional or has any degrees in the medical field. He appoints people on a revolving door policy so when a pandemic hits, none of his administration knows what to do. Even worse, you can only tell Trump positive things, so he either ignores what his advisors tell him, or fires people that tells him things he doesn't want to hear. We don't have smallpox anymore because of the WHO. Pulling funding from the WHO is reckless, but I don't expect much from someone who during a pandemic wishes to seek to obtain exclusive information on corona virus research. He's definitely not seeking that exclusive information for the benefit of mankind. He just wants the chance to put his name on something and take credit for it so he can win the next election. Of course that shouldn't come as any surprise since he wants his name on the stimulus checks as well. Again, it's to secure his reelection. Down the road he will go up to the podium and say he personally gave all those checks out, don't you remember? It was a bigly payout from your favorite president! First time in history a president has wanted their name on something like that. He is the most petty person I've ever seen in government in a long time. One major point that is glared over here is the fact that the virus doesn't care if you're american, it just cares if it can infect you, rich or poor. This is something the entire world needs to work on together. Not have someone that has a complex where he picks fights with literally everyone. Not long ago he was mad that masks were being sent to Canada and the US needed them too. Even if he could block all the masks from leaving the US, if your neighbors to the north and south are ill equipped, you won't be business as usual for a very long time. If the WHO comes up with something and he doesn't have exclusive access and again is made to look like an idiot, you'll find him coming right back to the WHO. Remember when he dropped out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership? Then he saw all the other nations benefiting from the agreement and then he wanted to negotiate back into the agreement. When that day comes when we're all screwed every which way and if Trump is still in charge, he won't take any blame. Supporters won't take any blame either. All you will hear is things are great or if you knew all this stuff, why didn't you try harder to convince us! I mean he has given so many speeches now, it's really hard to think he knows what he is doing. To him he thrives off the drama and has no idea how anything works. Literally anyone can be president, even Trump. So he does as he's done everything else in life. He just wins or rigs things or litigates or fires people that cross him. When you spend a lot of your day tweeting and retweeting and going on TV spreading propaganda, then he obviously isn't putting much effort into doing his job as president. The only thing Trump seems to want to do actively is roll back everything Obama did just because he can because he was made a fool of way back when at the correspondents dinner where people made fun of him. Now he's in office and doing his hardest to retaliate for how he was embarrassed in 2011.
