@DustinB3403 said in Going to Rio for the Olympics - Pay for stuff with the ring on your finger:

@scottalanmiller At the moment this is only the people actually competing that are going to have this.

Not the general public.

Oh I know, and they can have their fingers chopped off if they want. It's just a really goofy way to showcase a payment technology in my opinion. Things I don't want to wear: rings. People I don't want to be associated with: amateur athletes. Ways I don't want to make payments: things that get my body parts chopped off.

Basically while this COULD be used to help the driver, this is just to collect data in a way that is not as powerful as the old OnStar system that GM has.

Here's an interesting site listing the Worlds Biggest Data breaches..

MySpace is coming in hard at 164 Million!

So our service appears to be restored.

Also WebEx is now directing calls to "Due to high call volume we can't answer you call, please try again later." and than they hang up.

So there is that...

After signing up, you can go to My Membership to cancel the auto-renewal so you don't forget and get charged.

@BBigford said in TeslaCrypt shuts down and Releases Master Decryption Key:

I heard a lot people say that they gave it up to relieve some legal pressure. But you can't commit crimes then just apologize and wash your hands. You can't save face by admitting guilt in this case. You'd get in trouble by admitting you were at fault and release the keys.

I agree that this is just to make the old code completely useless. Want to keep using software? You're gonna be buying all new software. Bold move!

It often does receive legal pressure because the total loss to a company is not so large. Because civil suits require there to be a damages number, making the damages smaller greatly reduces the value of a lawsuit which in turn reduces the likelihood of someone pursuing one.

@scottalanmiller said in Let's Encrypt is now used around 4.86%:

Yeah, probably a lot less than a year before LE rules the roost. Maybe four more months? In a year it will have significant dominance, I am guessing.

More likely about this time next year because they did not come out of beta until March

Thanks

Every time one of these gets broken, it massively lowers the value of making the next one, too.

I see it differently.

Every time one of these gets broken, it highlights how easily the governmental agencies can get into our personal data.

Who said its not the government (NSA) releasing these ransoms ware viruses?
