      @obsolesce consumer will pay more if Google charges manufacturers a licence fee..devices will become more expensive, it's always passed down...

      You're not wrong, but if there is a license fee, then there can be competing solutions. It is hard to compete with free when you don't have the resources of Alphabet behind you. Google is not good for consumers in the long run.

        This is old news, but still relevant today: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/askds/2011/09/02/accelerating-your-it-career/. Despite all the changes in technology the fundamentals of being a good IT pro have not changed.

          And probably never will. Even the technical pieces haven't really changed in decades.

                      Not so much the helpdesk, I don't think. We use it heavily and tend to notice.

                          Once the fuckbags that let this shit happen get strung up and publicly tortured.... then these breaches will finally stop.

                            Publicly flogged twice for each record leaked. Fined, $100,000 for each record leaked ($99,000 of which goes to the person whose records were leaked), and the entire C-Level team fired if this was discovered and not reported for more than 36 hours.

                                Interesting possibility for SMB network monitoring: https://www.ipswitch.com/about/news-and-events/ipswitch-news/first-ever-free-edition-of-whatsup-gold-released-by-ipswitch. 5 nodes isn't a ton, but if all you need is your edge and your core then this is good.

                                  If your marketing people start complaining about the number of hits their sites are getting falling through the floor, this might be the culprit: https://thehackernews.com/2018/07/google-chrome-not-secure.html. (Since the link is not helpful, here is the headline from the article: "From today, Google Chrome starts marking all non-HTTPS sites 'Not Secure'".

                                    Who doesn't have a site running HTTPS now? Before Letsencrypt made it free, maybe, but no excuse now! Even my home lab box runs everything over secured connections now.

                                      I just run everything over a proxy that's encrypted.

                                        That's what I do for everything that is web based. Still have a few things, like the minecraft server, that's not available on a standard web page.

                                          Everyone should be, but we still run into computers without AV or passwords, so it is unsurprising to me that there are sites that neglect this basic responsibility.

                                            While I question the automatic response of AV being needed today, neglected servers, web sites, and anything else is way to common, for sure!
