i used to work in group homes, and i have a lot of friends who have braniac academic degrees, and the universal response among all these people is "wait... you can FIX that?" when i describe a two-minute fix that will make their internet-connected device be 99% less annoying

just buy a computer monitor at this point, it's a bit more expensive but you don't get a pile of junk in your display. well, different pile of junk, anyway. i'm sure g-sync also phones home through the drivers somehow these days

https://www.yubico.com/support/security-advisories/ysa-2019-02/quote:An issue exists in the YubiKey FIPS Series devices with firmware version 4.4.2 or 4.4.4 (there is no released firmware version 4.4.3) where random values leveraged in some YubiKey FIPS applications contain reduced randomness for the first operations performed after YubiKey FIPS power-up. The buffer holding random values contains some predictable content left over from the FIPS power-up self-tests which could affect cryptographic operations which require random data until the predictable content is exhausted. This issue occurs only during the power-up of the YubiKey FIPS Series, version 4.4.2 or 4.4.4. After the predictable content in the random buffer is consumed, the buffer will be filled with the intended full random number generator output, and all subsequent use of randomness will not be affected.

it's a good thing we have an elaborate and expensive certification process to ensure that cryptographic solutions work correctly and aren't broken. it would really suck if it was just bureaucratic horseshit that made it very expensive to create compliant implementations while not actually providing any meaningful benefit

I actually got a full-screen popup (is this a special W1 thing?) for a Beats Solo 3 this morning on the train. Probably just coincidence that someone happened to be pairing right near me at right that moment but a bit annoying nontheless.

This seems like a good time to ask... are there any winners in the non-smartphone hardware token (like RSA SecurID, not Yubi) that aren't the SecurID? That also integrate with hosted exchange or GSuite for multifactor?

With FreeBSD, the fans are running slightly slower than Linux when doing the same video decoding using VAAPI; I'm guessing because Wayland might not be as resource intensive as Xorg when there's no window manager decorations, transparency compositing, or anything else being done. Mind you, even when it was running Linux and also now that it's running FreeBSD, the only time I can tell the difference is if I'm looking at the fan-speeds or standing right next to it - if I'm anywhere else doing anything else, I don't notice it at all.

It doesn't have to MITM anything, it is the TV.

BangersInMyKnickers posted:how do you stop your tv from connecting to the internet when the wifi will automatically attach to any open ssid in range, which is a thing some of them do (samsung) how many open ssids are you seeing in 2019? I can only see one from my flat, and it’s one of those isp “share your router with other customers” ones that you have to pay to actually use so I don’t imagine smart TVs will get much value out of it.

That also integrate with hosted exchange or GSuite for multifactor? Where I work, users typically have the smartphone soft tokens, but we as outsourced tech support will have hardware tokens for our admin connections. Given that we're more-or-less-T1-helldesk, I can't speak to their integrations. Besides the RSA SecurID, DUO is a pretty common one. Symantec VIP, one that's straight called MFA in our documentation, uses a token that says SafeID on it. Is there something about the RSA SecurID that you dislike? As far as from a troubleshooting/user lockout perspective, the console is fairly straightforward.

i'd say whichever of expressvpn and nordvpn is cheaper for you in the moment, because your clients are probably nosy simpletons and not some three-letter thingy, so time spent thinking about it beyond that is probably time wasted
