problem reading sector(s) on Hard Disk Drive?
easy fix:
GRC.com SPINRITE will, Will, WILL fix said hard drive,... or restore it enough to recovere important files,...
if MicroFlaccid is only now mentioning problem, since no preventative maintenance has ever been done, might be too far gone at this point,...
OH! Discovery! THAT was the plan all along! haHA!
raise them to never take care of anything,...
then when all fails,...
oh. darn. guess you have to buy all new replacements. (as the OEMs drool with $£¥ flashing hungrily in their eyes)
Do they have adequate (read: noticeable) ventilation?
Ventilation defined as the rate where internal, stagnant, stale, infected air is exchanged with fresh, clean, filtered air from outside.
oh! I keep forgetting,... none actually CARE about the health of their visitors to invest in that bit of infrastructure,
just give them your £$¥ and be on your way,...
and the obviously Q is: how do they get this information?" exactly like MicroFlaccid's "telemetry" in winX et al., where they both know when you sit down, they know the consistency, they know when you flush, when you stand up,... the exact number of knickers in the wash,... they know which ones have streaks; feel comforted yet by their ever progressively invasive breach of YOUR privacy?
seemingly a vast portion of the NRA's members are Republicans,
which are those same ones whom scream vaguely Biblical principles to justify their actions.(Pharisee, much?)
Yet having forgotten, or never read to begin with, that which is written: "Vengeance is MINE, sayeth the Lord." or even "The wrath of Humans worketh NOT the Righteousness of God."
Additionally, their PR statement of "protect information" is quite correctly read as "hide our activities" or rephrased as "Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed."
funny that,... nothing new under the Sun and all,...
very appropriate quip on part of TheReg regarding "Salus populi suprema lex esto" which actually IS Missouri's state motto on their State Seal(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salus_populi_suprema_lex_esto). And as expected, epic-level hypocrisy from a GQP Liar,.. i mean Politician.
yeah,... just so it is known, services CAN be disabled: https://www.blackviper.com/service-configurations/black-vipers-windows-10-service-configurations/
but as observed over the last few decades, MicroFlaccid is ever incrementally moving the shackles closed around of necks of 'Doz users. "So you want to log into YOUR pc? Please update your Subscription with a valid CC to continue,..." (or no files for Ju!)
Is it just me who marvels at the stunning incompetence (laziness? malice?!) of those who leave 'Doz OS with EVERYTHING enabled, regardless of if it is needed or not?!?!?!?! i.e. disabling the (default-enabled) WLAN AutoConfig Service even when there are ZERO wireless adapters installed or ever expected to be installed in said system; et al.
Just drape a few hundred feet/meters of (unshielded)UTP around walls of server room with a dummy PC continuously transferring/playing a superfluous file (Never Going to Give You Up?) to another dummy PC, both connected to a isolated switch. Thus one has misdirection, and built-in offense for anyone who would go through the effort. ALL other cables remain [SHIELDED]STP. For extra credit, if in pre-planning for server room, how about aluminum-dust-imbued paint?
as a Sprint WISP user, I used my credentials to log into tmob account page and the bottom of the page (https://www.t-mobile.com/dns) displays a most REVEALING line of text: "Do Not Sell My Personal Information on websites or apps where you are logged in with this account [x]" Note how specific it is? Note how useless their statement is based on that line of text? is anyone surprised?
"light touch" regulation? you mean like the same "regulation" effect recently seen in Texas? the same (purposeful lack of) "regulation" seen over the last four years in the u.s.? the same lack of "self-governance" from certain groups in the u.s. as encouraged by those who for any amount of campaign contribution will champion "light-touch" laws? those?
easiest fix: Hard code PC's DNS and DISABLE DNS Service. (1.1.1.1, 1.1.1.3, 1.0.0.3 [Cloudflare]; 4.4.4.4 [Level 3]; 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220 [OpenDNS]; 8.8.8.8, et. al.)
best fix: Pi-Hole (a self-contained personal DNS server) which is well worth the investment to setup the Raspberry Pi and Pi-Hole! Blocks WAY more crap then you know was even there,...
