Every single worker should be vetted by security agenciies.
Saboteurs can do plenty of bad things.
Spoken like someone who has no clue about the aviation industry...or any large scale operation.
Justvan example, who vets the staff in China, or Saudi, or Argentina, or Ireland, or Isreal.
Please explain who vets who.
The whole Ratner story was a case of the papers being their usual scumbag selves.
The whole story was a poor lad who did really well for himself. He was surrounded by arrogant elitist jewelly companies who mocked his customers and products. He flipped it on them and pointed out that selling cheap crap to those that wanted the look of the expensive goods, but couldn't afford it, gave him annual profits greater than all the other mainstream jewllers combined.
The papers took the quote out of context and used it to destroy the business.
You're spot on, in a fashion.
Consumers can rely on unfair contract laws, basically meaning you can't bury bad pratices in the fine print.
However, businesses have no such cover, as they are expected to get legal advice before signing.
HOWEVER, you can not, for consumer or business, overide the law of the land, regarldess of what youbsay in a contract.
Sooo how is an AMD FIRMWARE issue fixed with an AMD BIOS update
a) A windows issue
B) anything to do with Intel.
The reason it probably took so long us when you startbfucking around wuth firmware updates, you better get things right.
But you woukd know that with your armchair experience of the chip design world.
Axe anyone publicly displaying their personal pronouns and/or uses pink/green/purple/blue hair dye.
I'm a white, 50 year old, middle class male.
Oh I currently have bright green hair, ride a longboard and took my kids to a old school roller disco at the weekend. A few weeks ago I went on the piss with a bunch proffesional models, dancers and graffiti artists. Many had, pink, blue, green and even rainbow coloured hair. Oh did I mention one was a 6ft drag queen in 5" high heels?
Given the choice between your life choices and mine, well, how was watching TV, grumbling about the youth of today for you last weekend?
Normally you have to get past the prompts aling the lines of "this is from an untusted source and could bw dangerous" and THEN you have to allow macros.
But these are the same people that enter credit card details to aamazzonn.com and wonder what those strange transactions are.
the question is WHY?
Seriously, I know you guys still use measurements from the "dark ages", but why have such a antiquated method of whatever they do.
Heck, even us "behind the times" Brits dumped tax discs several years ago, MOTs have been digital for ages and insurace checking is at most just a click or call away or fully automated for much of the police (ANPR).
.... before going Wtf.
" It was alleged in testimony that Holden had complained to his bosses that he was penniless and desperate... It was further alleged that he had stolen credit cards and checks from elderly Spectrum subscribers, and that the corporation turned a blind eye to a pattern of theft by its installers and technicians."
" The court heard how Holden was not working the day he killed Thomas, and went out to her home anyway to rob her. He was able to use his company keycard to access a Charter vehicle lot and drive off in one of its service vans even though he was off-duty."
" Holden lied about his employment history – such as not revealing he had been previously fired – which wasn't checked by Charter when it hired him and would have been one of many red flags against him... Holden would break down crying at work, at one point was convinced he was a former Dallas Cowboys football player, suffered from insomnia, and was probably sleeping overnight in his Spectrum van."

What if I "invent" something useful to my employer in my own time?
In my case (and a lot of others), contractually the IP resides with the employer.
No it does not.
If you are using work time, or work tools then yes.
But if you develop a kick ass widget that your employer wants, they have fuck all claim.
This contract bollocks is about as enforceable as signs that say "we accept no liability for....."
Contracts DO NOT override the law.
Google and their kind will fight legislation in each and every country. Only when it becomes more cost effective to have a global policy, rather than local one's, will anything change.
It's why amazon have no plastic packaging in some countries, yet others it's rammed full of it.
Its why some fast food chains have reasonable quality meat in some places, and left over sludge in others.
The only way to fix the issues is for countries to have the same tough requirements, but until then, they will fight all the way.
You miss the fundamental point.
Ask your self this.
Why are "women's" jobs traditionally lower paid?
Is a nursery nurse less important than IT helpdesk worker?
Is a nurse less important than an IT administrator?
Is a seamstress less skilled than a dustbin man?
A social worker less qualified than a train driver?
So many, let's face it, men, here complain that your comparing apples and pears, but when the pears have been underrepresented and underpaid for thousands of years, you have to redress the balance somehow.
There are a lot of utterly ignorant people here.
Oooo we have to buy loads of new cables.
No you don't, keep using your old cables for your old stuff, or get this, use the new cable for the new AND old stuff.
Ooo so confusing, yet another standard.
Yes just like before, how many of you actually noticed the different coloured usb ports? Yup, different specs and uses.
How many people still have chargers that have a USB A that they still use? Most of you? Thought so. Yet magically, you don't get really confused by that.
Seriously, if you can't manage a cable, then there is no hope for us as a species.
And then the crowd will bitch that MS is oppressing them and conspiring against Linux users by withholding patches.
It's up to the "owner" of the server to do test deployments, before mass rollout to production.
If you turn on automatic updates on all your systems and they take out everything, that's your responsibility, regardless of OS.
