  1. No, it goes to show how incompetent he is. You really think the POTUS should be so cavalier about security?

  4. Minecraft Java Edition will soon require a Microsoft account

    Say what you will about Microsoft (and I'm sure you might) but Microsoft's privacy and security policies are far far different than Facebook.

  6. Which is why I don't believe this story. Surely there are hundreds of attempts to hack Trump's Twitter account every day. Yet this guy claims he just guessed the password. 🤔

  7. There are other sources that said it only took five tries and this is the SECOND TIME he has guessed his password. What an embarrassment POTUS is.

  8. Which is why I don't believe this story. Surely there are hundreds of attempts to hack Trump's Twitter account every day. Yet this guy claims he just guessed the password. 🤔 If you had been paying attention, this isn't the first time for his Twitter, nor other personal devices, like phones, as he has a habit of using non-secured devices as the secured ones are subject to the presidential records act. We didn't find out about the personal phones and personal web and email servers he and his kids/team use at the Whitehouse if hackers hadn't tipped people. And they still use the personal file and email servers, in the Whitehouse, which is not only ironic considering his drumming about emails, but it is illegal in the context of the Records Act and in the context of legislation prohibiting their use, which now applies to all parts of the executive branch and federal government. (Something that wasn't illegal when Powell, Cheney, Hillary, etc. used personal email servers for official work.)

  11. Quibi is reportedly considering shutting down its streaming service

    "However, it later struggled to grow its subscriber base as consumers became reluctant to spend on subscriptions amid the economic crisis arising from the pandemic." No, it struggled to get people to subscribe to short-form content that was free on a dozen other social media sites...EVEN amidst a global pandemic where everyone was staying indoors and at home, starved for content. That's how bad their offering was. This was a transparent "pump up the stock price before we sucker a big company to buy us all out" scam. I'm glad reality caught up with the perpetrators -- who no doubt pocketed a fortune in salaries and bonuses along the way.

  15. No, it goes to show how incompetent he is. You really think the POTUS should be so cavalier about security? To be fair, he's... What? Seventy-something? I wouldn't necessarily expect someone that old to be super familiar with things like 2FA and password managers. Of course, you could make the argument that means you're not really qualified for the position. And I'd probably agree. But no matter what we're gonna have at least 4 more years of that... Someone who has access to the football and claims to be tech savvy doesn't get to use age as an excuse unless he is to be declared incompetent for the position.

  20. Dropbox is a rip-off and a joke. For $99 a year, I can get a Family plan of Microsoft Office that includes 6 TB of total storage, plus the entire Office suite of applications. And Dropbox thinks $20 a month ($240 a year) for 2 TB and nothing else is a deal? What a bunch of jokers.

  23. Minecraft Java Edition will soon require a Microsoft account

    LOL Yes, exactly like Facebook, except completely different in almost every way. Account required to use hardware? Nope. Account terms subject to data monitoring, use, sharing, and selling to 3rd Parties? Nope. Strict Account lockout policies, rendering items unusable without justification, cause or recourse? Nope. Horrific Account security history? Nope. Should I go on, or do you feel silly yet? Microsoft Accounts are the most locked down for privacy, and have the strongest and longest running record regarding security. This also gives the users newer/better features, along with cooperative and cross-play, and the ability to bring the product to new users by bringing all game products into Game Pass, etc.

  27. [Update] President Trump's Twitter password was 'maga2020!', says researcher

    No, it goes to show how incompetent he is. You really think the POTUS should be so cavalier about security? To be fair, he's... What? Seventy-something? I wouldn't necessarily expect someone that old to be super familiar with things like 2FA and password managers. Of course, you could make the argument that means you're not really qualified for the position. And I'd probably agree. But no matter what we're gonna have at least 4 more years of that... Ummmm He has a whole cybersecurity team that should be informing him what he needs to be doing which I am sure they are doing. He is just doing it his way because he is the President and he thinks is the smartest person he knows like with everything. BTW We just have a little more than two months left of his nonsense. Do you not read? I literally said "I'm more curious why none of the actual tech-savvy people around him were going "hey you need to be turning on 2FA"." As for why it was this way, you're just spouting speculation. And no. We have four more years. Have you not checked Biden's age recently or are you being deliberately obtuse? Did you not read the quoted comment I replied to? I didn't see your other comment but I ended up answering it anyway. You really think his security guys haven't told him to use 2FA? Really? I think it's much more believable the guy that tells us every day he is the smartest person around and is known not to listen to his staff or the experts simply thinks 2FA is to inconvenient and not needed. We have an election in 10 days and I have no idea what Biden's age has to do with anything. Fun fact: Biden is only three years older than Trump. Yeah but Biden isn’t full of McDonalds preservatives.

  37. Well my thoughts are: 1. Don’t download it if you can’t figure out why you need it. It works for me in a pinch, albeit it isn’t the most fun to use. 2. You can RDP into your PC from a Mac. I’m guessing this is news to you, else why mention it?

  40. What are you talking about? They're just consolidating their account verification under the one system instead of having to maintain two. They already have your data so it's not like they'll get anything new. Plus boycott Minecraft? What would that achieve? You've already paid for the game, so boycotting hurts you not them. They're not going to reverse the decision.

  43. WinUI 3.0 is 'hopefully' the current plan to integrate the UI, bringing all software into the modern fold. However, this was promised with the Win32 UWP interface technologies in 2015, and again, and again, and several times with the WinUI project goals. WinUI 3.0 is looking promising, but there is still so much they are leaving out, it may create hodge podge, instead of fixing things. The crazy thing, is that a couple of years ago, the team was concerned with .NET and Core unification, and had ZERO UI plans, and were surprised when developers screamed, "WTF are you idiots doing." - Which did get a response, but it was more like, "Is UI important?" *Windows NT was written from the ground up with new technologies the world had never implemented in less than 3 years. The developers now can't get all the features of silly Apps on Windows working consistently or properly. (Which I hope is getting better with recent changes.) *Cross fingers they have better/smarter people finally.* The irony is that Microsoft could implement a full UI unification, that could also be 100% dynamic and replicate any previous, current or future UI - all without developers or even developers inside Microsoft doing any work. It could be a side project that also works on the fly, so that a newly developed piece of software that never gave a crap about UI, would just appear as the user wants. Along with being accelerated using native controls, even from crap UI frameworks. (Microsoft, call me maybe.) Sorry in advance to the OP for throwing my rant in here.

  47. No. I was paying Mozilla with donations and then they started doing dumb (and I mean REALLY dumb) design decisions that ###### me off so hard I stopped. They just keep sacking things or implementing totally nonsensical things that you can't even disable. Like the latest moronic expanding URL bar. Who thought that was a good idea? And then they make some stupid reasoning that doesn't make any sense at all.
