This article is very poorly informed, and is likely written by someone who has never had to secure a site or work in a large enterprise. The author seems to be upset that site owners also have some authority to make decisions. They’re users of the technology too, you know.
Based on this article, I assume the author is also raging about companies using “do not copy” physical keys, or dictating the use of a key card to enter.
AR will be as big as smartphones; imagine wait staff seeing people’s orders above their heads, convention attendees seeing virtual name tags, mechanics seeing the engine details overlaid, phone repair personnel seeing the step by step instructions, me seeing arrows pointing to where I left my keys, and so forth. But it has to be on a comfort level of “wearing glasses”, I think.
You didn’t ask me, but I’ll chime in here. I run 6 monitors — four landscape in a 2x2 config and a portrait on either side. I use the bottom right landscape for most web browsing, email, and sharing my screen. When I’m sharing I do those things on bottom left landscape. Top monitors are for reference type info as they’re too high to stare at for long periods. Top left is downloads folder, CPU/RAM/etc monitors, sticky note, and to-do list. Top right is calendar and security cameras. Right portrait is slack (portrait is great for this, lots of history without scrolling). Left portrait is windows explorer. It’s super fast to just move the mouse and turn my head to what I need without switching windows as much.
SMS 2 factor is terrible anyway and is on the way out, although it may still be the only choice for some services for quite a while. A hardware security key is best, and TOTP (Google Authenticator and similar) is very good and both can be used without cell connectivity.
I haven’t seen 7 Wonders listed yet. It’s fairly easy to get started but great in that you have to alter your strategy based on what board you get dealt and what your neighbor players are doing.
Most graphics cards implement a hardware mouse cursor where the video card reads the current pointer location from memory and overlays the cursor on the screen. So I guess if the driver for the mouse and the video driver are both still running (the kernel hasn’t stopped completely) that will still work even if Winlogin is screwed to the point where it can’t show the CTRL-ALT-DEL screen.
Happy to be corrected by someone who knows more about the windows kernel. :)
IBM just split out “we will run your servers for you,” not consulting or other services. You’re forgetting about a large security services business unit, a large research org, and several other parts.
Using a separate secure element built into a smartphone is probably the best solution here. Most smartphone users will not lose them often, and will notice almost immediately.
Same here. I’m on 16/1.5 and I can run a couple of SD video streams outbound with an EdgeRouter and smart queueing. I would certainly love more upstream for uploading pictures, and uploading videos takes overnight, but we can have several people streaming down and at least a couple up.
In some ways it sort of does though? The worker nodes can be (and increasingly are) a locked down “cattle” appliances, like CoreOS. Yes, it’s running the Linux kernel so you’re absolutely technically correct to claim it’s Linux, but it’s a far cry from a “pet” RHEL/Debian/etc. system.
I use a 7-monitor setup — four landscape in a 2x2, a portrait on either side, and a very small one at the end (just for monitoring my front door camera). It works great — I can dedicate an entire portrait monitor to Slack, for example, and I can just make a tiny head movement or chair swivel much faster than surfacing windows or switching virtual desktops. I tried a single large flat monitor, but when the center was the right distance the corners were too far away to read comfortably, and this way they are all angled directly to me.
That said, it’s not like crime is uncommon, and a blasé attitude and snark won’t change that. Cameras are in fact the best deterrent.
