@mlnews Ugh! I'm going back to my abacus.

My 8yo loves using an abacus.

That’s a bit of a click bait.

The iPhone automatically requires password after two days or after power reset. So it is not an automatic get me in method.

I am not sure about android device settings but I would assume it is similar.

@mlnews Because I love Bacon, and I love NC.

I loved the original Bard's Tale. It's the game that got me into role playing and adventure games.

rrent Facebook and Cambridge Analytica situation quite seriously.

I tried deactivating my account and logged in again after deactivation but its logging me in again into the FB How and Why ?Its process of deleting the user id from the Linux box its not even deleting the user it seems

What does the Linux box have connected to Facebook?

Just having a Example if we are deleting any User inside Linux box means the user will be deleted permanently but in Facebook which is not even deleting the user permanently as such

They tell you at the end that if you log back in within 14 days, the account is reactivated. Nothing surprising with that, wait 2 weeks after deactivating and then try.

Good to know, had no idea that they did that.

Yeah. I deleted my FB account before, but discovered I used it to log in to a few other websites. So i had to reactivate it, unfortunately.

Yeah, totally removing it is quite a bit problematic.

Nope, I never use third party login for another site if possible.
if not possible, the only one I use is github then Twitter.

If not available, I won’t sign up.

I do use GitHub whenever possible. I like theirs the best.

I prefer a non linked account whenever possible, but after that, yeah GitHub I like.

That's how I"m doing it now. Linked logins can cause issues down the road.

Direct signups with different passwords.

Wow, the hits keep coming. I feel sorry for all the people that work for facebook if this gets any worse. I did find it strange that I had to remove Ireland from from our block by region firewall list. Totally shut down Facebook. I wonder if they take advantage of the low tax rate somehow by doing that. Hmmm?

Facebook, like nearly all tech companies, have big offices in Dublin. Dublin is the EU's silicon valley.

Maybe its for the Guinness? 🙂

Good a reason as any.

I was 3 years old 🙂 so no much of video gaming then.

Get off my lawn! 😜

You got it 😉

I don't even understand why Cisco needed to be involved let alone Microsoft... I guess they don't have an IT Team.

Yeah, pretty weird. No wonder these companies get compromised, they don't have any relevant staff. It's like getting robbed and realizing you have no facilities people locking the front door!

I also don't appreciate SonicWall's backdoor. I've gone through a few instances of over-the-air updates bricking appliances or causing crazy performance issues with constant CPU spiking.

I dislike all back doors. But is SonicWall's open to the public? Or is it at least just a back door for them? Still not good, but an order of magnitude or a few better.

Of course they'll say it's only open to them, but that's what Barracuda says too...

It's often pretty easy to test. At least for something in the degree of Barracuda's, it was WIDE open, no security whatsoever.

Not sure if it was only open to them in case of Sonicwall.

Awesome, I may have to check that out. Thanks for the update.

This is not tec news. it belongs in the non-it thread.

Also, a lawsuit against Facebook is pointless. The CA stuff was an exploit that was resolved and CA lied about removing the data they obtained. So sue CA, not FB. FB has no way to know that CA lied about something like that. They have no access to CA servers.

Not saying FB hasn't done other shit worthy of a lawsuit, but not for this instance.

@scottalanmiller said in Seagate Shows Off World's Fastest Hard Drive:

That's true, we are definitely getting to the point where we need faster ways to get data on and off of all drives.

For sure, the data processing boards need a change too.

That's the one, my search skills are lacking today apparently.
