Yes, plaintext DNS is insane, but encrypting it has its own tradeoffs. If you use DoH, they won't be able to "back up" your system

In 2021 Trend Micro predicts that cybercriminals will look to home networks as a critical launch pad to compromising corporate IT and IoT networks. "Look at you, hacker: a pathetic creature of meat and bone, panting and sweating as you run through my corridors. How can you challenge a perfect, immortal machine?"

That could be even considered as an improvement.
Right now are the IoT networks the ones compromising the home networks...

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Quote: When we change the culture to focusing on simplifying, documenting the “why”, and ensuring others can easily maintain code without the original author, we inherently reduce complexity.
True... but for this to happen, the one that has to do the change is the developer itself. And some won't because they think comments or documentation are for sissies or because they want to feel irreplaceable (a.k.a. I am the only one good enough to know what happens here)...
Such a "policy" change will be very hard to be implemented coming from the company, maybe as a team policy if there are enough people willing to do it and get the news used to it.
What a company that wants to keep the people should start with is to say more "please" and "thank you" (free), to appretiate its workers (free), give them some flexibility (free to a point), give them credit for their achievements (free) and fair payment (according to those achievements and not to a HHRR-standard table)...
Things that should be easy to do, but actually are scarce goods in most of the places.

Attackers are using the normally harmless Windows Finger command to download and install a malicious backdoor on victims' devices. Bad things can happen when you give someone the finger
When did they add this tool?

From the comments:
Quote: The finger program has an old history of security issues in Unix/Linux since 1988.
Dated 2013, 2105 "The finger command has been considered obsolete and a security issue for way over a decade now, thus all of the modern Linux distributions and Unix flavors don’t install the service nor the client by default anymore, some don’t even include them in their repositories at all."
So the question is why is finger still in Windows?
I suppose because they are so busy designing new icons that have no time to care about security or common sense...

A team of researchers at Stanford University has developed an AI algorithm that proved to be slightly over 70% accurate at guessing a person's political affiliation after studying a single photograph. The red hat probably helps

"Do I look stupid to you?"

That reminds me of something I saw years ago. It was something along the lines of one guy tells another, "you look stupid."
He replies, "I want a second opinion."
"OK, you're ugly too."
"They have a consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul! Damn you! Let the rabbits wear glasses! Save our brothers! Can I get an amen?"
|
|
|
|
|
The researchers acknowledge that it would be difficult for others to replicate their results accurately because they cannot share the photographic data they used for privacy reasons.
Translation: on a restricted sample we manage to pimp the AI to the point we got 70% accuracy one time and you can't prove it didn't happen, now give us grant money.

My AI says this is >90% accurate.

Given that in the US (at the moment) you could get 50% accuracy by flipping a coin, that's not very impressive.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.
