SECURITY RESEARCH AND DATA PRIVACY
Always Rambling on about Games and Security
Turn off the internet on your device and see how many applications flail around for air. Internet access is the lifeblood of so many apps that they cannot actually properly function without it.
Ergo, to make somethings fail just mess with their network pipeline, throttle it, divert it or corrupt it.
Amazing what you can actually get away with in broad daylight.
The next day effects of my overdue workout as my muscle burn echoes and I am sooooooooo sleepy.
No matter, I just need to get back into the exercise habit.
In the meantime, my London trip is now clouded by an uncomfortable uncertainty that makes me what to set up plan B and C.
I randomly went to a different gym today courtesy of my “any location” membership and got my heart pumping with a 30-mintues cardio session.
Feeling great and should be able to fight off this nagging throat infection.
My own little weblog Cognitive Emotional Behavioural therapy (CEBT) has worked very well this year and I’ve actually achieved a major milestone for the year.
I found Love again
What do you want? I’ve spent over 2 hours trawling one of the biggest shopping websites in the world and I still can’t find something I actually want. Bah humbug to it all. Why do I have to force feed myself reasons to be jolly anyhow?
What’s really important is being around people who actually care about my existence. Besides, the things that give me a real buzz cannot be bought with a civilian security clearance or are too elite to be on any retail shopping outlet.
Give small but niche token gifts Use a daily cash envelope system Use Load-up cards only Carry a food flask so you don’t eat too much Talk and Dream about Summer 2018 holidays Grab the designated driver card to avoid drinking Downgrade to a “dumb” phone…Text and Talk only
Run out of Pyridostigmine
The classic dilemma for patch management is when to do it and what will it break. Especially, when dealing with Operating systems you run the risk of the application you’ve been using for decades suddenly not working (not supported).
This issue is bad enough when doing the upgrade for yourself but when you do it on behalf of a client you run the risk of being the root cause of the problem.
The latest MacOs upgrade is not compatible the Outlook for Mac 2013 (version 15.3), which was released October 2014….WTF. So now you have to spend time and money on an upgrade.
The best practice is to run a compatibility test on all applications especially business-critical ones. But why haven’t two of the biggest software vendors in the world built that into the OS upgrade process to at least notify the user?
Money talks louder, so shut up and buy the Office365 upgrade
Meanwhile, I try to keep my head straight and get totally distracted by just looking out the window. Austria is a great place to avoid mass marketing but dammit this has just pushed me back into my one-track mind.
What was the approval process for a company to register and pay for this domain and then actively market it?
So much for Global Thinking
