It's people born after 1995 that are completely unprepared! Worst: they almost all tend to think they are prepared and that they even know more about it than previous gens (and because tech has evolved they actually accomplish more, but unfortunately they understand a LOT LESS about the underlyings of it!!! Naturally, there are exceptions! Few, however!)
I was in kind of a hurry and messed it up!!! (however, I do tend to think of Y as a transitional generation where late borns - think 92 or after - won't actually remember much of theirs "last analog generation")
So, I do agree with you!
I've tried to edit it but I'm no longer allowed to!
Thank you for pointing out my mistake!
Also, I'm kind of amazed you do remember the analog days! Being born in 87 makes you aware of it around 92 or 93! Past 95 things start to flip and after 00 all hell broke loose (what's analog again?!)!
Most people don't old up much to their 13yo memories! Keep that up! It really makes a difference "today"!
Still it does depend where you live in! This "generations" timeline work well in US cities! But if you change country or if you don't live in a city that timeline doesn't hold up that well! Tech arrives latter and the ways of life get altered later!
That's why many people tend to identify more with the previous generations! Specially if you're born on a generation edge!
Yeah... scientists try to put all in one simple bag but the truth ain't that simple!
> Young people on average have grown up with drastically greater understanding of what a file is than any other generation that has come before them.
I totally disagree!!!
Yes, everyone works with computer, phone, tablet, whatever, nowdays!
But does generation z "knows" about what a computer is?
Absolutely not!!!
While tech has advanced and graduated IT personal know more than previous generations (obviously!), all the rest, while they do know how to do their jobs, they know nothing about computers!!! They are pretty much like everyone else that didn't know what a computer was in generations x and previous!!!
However, contrary to previous generations, because they do interact with the tech, they represent a higher security risc for them and for others!
... Because they know nothing about it!!!
It's like giving a box of matches to a neanderthal in the middle of the woods...
Almost everyone in the "Gen x and previous" that interacted with the tech, did know what they were doing (past the initial learning phase)!!!
this is old news to me! I've known this from about ~15 years now...
And to think people need to lie and create stories with the sole purpose of shaming the church when it actually has true stories like this! (it was other times, nonetheless!)
it just shows the level of culture of those who create the lies...
(do notice, however, that wikipedia is a terrible source for history! Very biased in general. better to redirect to brittanica (E.g.: https://www.britannica.com/topic/Cadaver-Synod ) or other trustful source)
I don't agree with this anymore!!! Linux, presently, it's an easy OS. You don't have to get to the CLI if you don't want to. If you're "just" a simple user you can just live in the GUI like in windows and get on with it!!!
i don't have any example over this part. Maybe the OP has...
Still, a layered approach is great "on paper" (and probably the best actual solution we have atm), but it is only great in practice if it's well coded and the op is right that in lots of cases there are numerous flaws.
yes, you have failsafes on the layer bellow, but then again... it's just another "challenge" to find the flaw...
If we have a simple and effective code (à lá unix: do one thing, do it well), that has the possibility of becoming more effective that "flawed layers".
yeah... we can have multiple - simple - layers... but again... that will also raise the possibility of unforeseen flaws...
all in all: it's always a double-edged sword...
you're right and the op is right XP
(unless the layered approach is actually really really well coded!!! That's the ideal... but not many can do it!!! - i surely can't ahahah)
Servers: mostly are not on x86.
Also they are a lot more difficult to exploit due to the security nature of linux (yes, they go down very often and nothing is unhackable)
developers, sysadmins:
tend to have the hardest configs and thus making it a lot more difficult to hack.
So, afaik, most of the hacks on this areas are more due to human flaws than the systems per se.
Now, i do agree that for a group of hackers with profound knowledge and that is trying to hit really big, servers are more attractive.
devs and sysadms alone/personally not that much! ... unless ... they are targeting the servers managed by those devs and sysadms and in this case, targeting the devs and sysadms personally make more sense - which tend to be one of the best/easiest ways to hack the servers - again, exploiting human flaw instead of system flaw)
naturally, this is my personal view! I may be wrong here!
yeap... i really don't know what i'm talking about, how would I...
I also don't like to go with the flock...
and... how cares about the defaults? You have the options you should care to configure things for yourself. if you don't know how you should search and instruct yourself to do it.
About iOS... Have you even considered that Apple has forced their rendering engine ( https://gprivate.com/6btxx ) and that alone makes it impossible to have an adblocker - yeah... apple is THAT great!!! (in fact, their products are the best of the best. You should keep using them...)
but then again... i don't know what i'm talking about, do I!!!
(also... you should learn how to be polite to others!!!)
