04:50 IsambardPrince; A war against the US from where Germany was positioned at the end of 1941 was suicide.

04:51 IsambardPrince; Had Hitler refrained from doing that, who knows?

04:51 IsambardPrince; It's possible the prevailing opinion would have been a full blown war on Japan but nothing else.

04:52 IsambardPrince; The Germans weren't exactly known for being reliable about sticking to their alliances and treaties.

04:52 TR News; Like self-service checkouts at the supermarket that make customers into employees, they are a way of passing blame, liability, and work onto you in order to solve someone elses security problem. As Prof. Ross Anderson bluntly puts it; "If Alice guards a system but Bob pays the cost of failure, you can expect trouble." https://soylentnews.org/article.pl?sid=24/10/07/106218

04:52 IsambardPrince; They could have cut the Japanese loose.

04:53 TR News; "Cybersecurity has become more harmful than helpful in many cases and biometrics are more of a user name than a password despite the constant misuse as the latter." https://soylentnews.org/article.pl?sid=24/10/07/106218

04:53 TR News; "I do think it's worth noting that the sad state of 2FA is the actual problem here. People should be able to set a password that's secure enough to keep an adversary from cracking it in under some reasonable multiple of whatever time to live you've got from the 2FA and that should be good enough for most practical applications"

04:54 TR News; "The problem though is that much of the 2FA in use is completely useless stuff like a voice mail or email to an unsecured mailbox where they can get the code directly after already knowing everybody's phone numbers from a directory. In theory, no matter how stupid the password is, the 2FA is supposed to scuttle the attempt to log in without that."

04:54 IsambardPrince; Most sites that enforce 2FA do it because people will choose the worst passwords.

04:54 IsambardPrince; We were at Jollibee today, I know... Gross.

04:54 TR News; "It's another one of the problems that could be put in the box of "Big tech solutions to this are half-assed, dangerous, and worse for users, but slightly more convenient so they're going to be totally universal, and you don't even get another choice""

05:00 schestowitz[TR2]; (in the first place)

05:00 schestowitz[TR2]; what's the risk?

05:00 schestowitz[TR2]; that some homeless person will use it?

05:00 schestowitz[TR2]; and let's say he knows the code

05:00 IsambardPrince; They're too fucked up to get past 12345.

05:00 IsambardPrince; Yeah, they'll make the bathroom nasty.

05:01 schestowitz[TR2]; there are also marketeers and losers

13:39 TR News; "What IS important is that after several decades of effort, IBM has been unable to grow or even maintain its enterprise to the point where it can retain large numbers of employees. At present, it is dominant in a shrinking market segment (enterprise hardware and legacy enterprise software). New development appears to have stagnated, and current efforts appear to be focused more on maintenance than improvements and new features."

13:39 TR News; "The current growth in the world is in cloud services, a market that IBM was unable and/or unwilling to monetize. There is lots of talk about AI and QC, but that's all it is so far. In either case, IBM does not yet have a compelling, marketable offering. It is unclear whether or not they will ever have one. So yeah...IBM is reducing its staff...an inevitable and predictable outcome given its situation."

13:41 TR News; The market is grossly overvalued (fake Wall Street valuation) and the main "product" is "stocks" or "shares", e.g. eating up people's pension funds and tying to them to the value of companies grossly overvalued. INTC/Intel anyone? It's not the first to fall down to Earth. The debt keeps soaring; that's where many salaries come from: DEBT, not value.
