I respectfully beg to differ. If I search for something, I don't want to waste my time visiting a myriad of links I cannot read before reaching one that is not behind a paywall.
Also, how the hell are Google supposed to index sites behind a paywall?

PayWalledCrappyContentByScumbags.con can identify spiders by IP or activity and feed them non-paywall restricted versions of the page to get indexed.

Deployment of IPv6 is accelerating -- but it's home and mobile users that are benefitting from the performance improvements first, a new report says. I know, I keep hitting all those IPv6-only sites

Google's IPv6 report[^] offers more detailed breakdowns of data than that article. I'm a little bemused to see the author single out India for praise slightly over 20% adoption when Belgium is just under 50%, followed by Greece and the USA in the 30+% club, and Germany and Switzerland in the high 20s.

I can see the next generation of posters that'll be going up in offices that deal with classified material now. The Fed's been joking about how to win several decades of room and board at their expense for the last decade. (Probably longer; but I can't speak to before I worked for a contractor that did that sort of stuff.) This idiot will make it even easier than the ease with which they busted her. "Did you leak it?" "Yes." *Slaps handcuffs on*

Kaspersky claims Microsoft has been removing its software when users upgrade to Windows 10, and enabling its own Windows Defender solution. We all know Microsoft is known as a company that always treats competitors fairly and equally
I think I bent my sarcasm joint with that one.
|
|
|
|
|
kaspersky alwasy seemed to me to be good av... but in these days of free av, why would anyone want to keep it?
|
|
|
|
|
The bit about MS updating too quickly is a bit of a waaa.
|
|
|
|
|
Kasperky Anti-Virus is just a horrid spyware itself.
|
|

No specifics in that complaint; but in the past when they did go into details it was always MS replacing paid AV that was out of subscription by an extended period.
While you can made a strong argument that fully updated versions of Kaspersky, Norton, Avast, etc. are better than a fully updated version of Windows Defender (or WTF they're calling it this week). You can also make a strong argument for the reverse. OTOH anyone trying to claim a version of the former that hasn't been updated in months is better than the current version of Defender is either a paid shill or an moron. Without the latest definitions an AV tool is as elephanting useless as an exterior screen door on a submarine.
