Cisco's critical zero-day bug gets even worse – 'thousands' of IOS XE devices pwned

Re: Gee what a surprsie

this is cisco we are talking about,

I've had "cisco experts" tell me cisco gear cannot do easy stuff (think basic networking) because their web helper tool couldn't do it.

I then had to demonstrate how to do it via cli.

Someone has to say it: Voice assistants are not doing it for big tech

considering how much utter crap that appears whenever you search for anything on amazon that is impossible to filter out, why would anyone try to buy anything with an inaccurate voice system.

you could end up with anything arriving. nevermind the crazy price differentials on exactly the same item all over the place.

I only ever use Amazon for stuff that doesn't appear in normal shops (phone case for unusual phone).

Re: Apologists

Change for change sake is bollocks

The tiles were a shit slow way compared to the old start menu.

They wanted to have a USP for the phones and made a shit touch based interface and rammed it into desktops to get you use to it, even though for desktop touch tiles are totally shit.

It was a forced crap change for "marketing reasons" not good technical reasons.

if you want to be forced to use shit then fine, but fuck off trying to force it on the rest of us that are fucking sane.

Magic Leap rattles money tin, assigns patents to a megabank, sues another ex-staffer... But fear not, all's fine

Knew this was bollocks from the start, when I heard how much $$$$ they had conned idiot investor companies for shitty AR

AR is very niche, looks pretty, but once you try it your bored after 10 mins, just ask how many pokemon go users still have AR feature turned on

AR it's just a gimmick outside of industry ( and for lots of stuff inside it too) it doesn't really have a useful purpose that works much better than we have now.

Re: Dyson

weirdest part is bbc and co have been repeating dysons claim that tax for UK won't change and they didn't do it for tax reasons as singapore only charges 2% less on companies.

And the UK will get tax from the share dividends that apparently are all owned by upstanding UK people who will pay tax on the dividends.

NHS England digital boss in hot water over 'puff piece' written about her future employer

Like all selfish heartless twats,

you miss the point of the NHS (until you and your relations need it, then you whine you had to wait an hour).

It means people can be useful members of society without be worried every 5mins that if they get sick they will be bankrupted (see USA shit show!).

Fuck it, why don't you just fuck off to USA and give that a try before you start shitting on the NHS.

A decade on, Apple and Google's 30% app store cut looks pretty cheesy

say again, how are they dodging 30% apple tax?

article seems lopsided, pushing the blame on google.

But never explains how fortnite dodges the Apple tax????

Remember Apple are the bastards that started this shit, and there excuse of security is bull, it's to make sure your not bypassing their Apple toll.

Remember Apple stops anything that attempts to do what apple does ( true 3rd party browsers NOT allowed).

and if apple make a new app that nicks others ideas, the other app gets banned.

Put the anger where it really belongs fucking apple!!!.

Re: Not a problem for Node.js

Are you all too dumb to understand "unlimited", read a dictionary

Main issue is stupid advertising regulator can't read a F**king dictionary and allowed everyone to get away with fraudulent advertising.

Unlimited should mean "UNLIMITED", no stupid hidden Sh*tty fair use clauses.

If there is any sort of limit, then it is NOT UNLIMITED, full stop, no weaseling, no argument, no fraud.
