    Are those slot machines still using Windows XP just to run their casino software? What a poor move... I thought they were using some sort of Linux distro underneath.

    webp issue? I dont use webp that much from the start, i prefer png or such.. My experience with webp is that its a propitiatory image format that require chrome and if google dont like your file browser kiss goodbye to the possibility to preview it or open it.. I always convert them into png if i ever use a webp image for something

    If we don't allow ransomware to run, it won't do anything. It can be easily implemented on Linux by file X attribute. On the system, no one including SU, can modify file X attributes. The only way to modify X is in safe mode without networking. This will stop ransomware, new or old all together.

    Hmm, now who owns the casinos... they strike me as the sort of people who will hold a grudge. Those hackers better hope they are safe in Russia. This year we saw a huge surge in supplier chain infiltration as a means of getting to the really juicy target. As we literally have hundreds of suppliers we take the sharp step of blocking any breached supplier (5 in the past 12 months) immediately until they clean house. TBH, it's getting out of hand out there.

    They're fine. The mob sold all of their stuff starting in the 1990s to corporations. The worst they have to worry about are cops and I'd venture a guess that the cops are no where near the level of those attackers. Unless they hire other attackers to catch them. When I first went to Las Vegas decades ago the Mob was still in control. It was a much different town.

Sorry for talking frankly, but since a long time, I began not to see these test videos.. In the end, I will unsubscribe this channel ,I think, unfortunately, if I still don't see any test videos for a while.. I see that this youtube channel began to go on its new path , which only contains informative contents, and this does not excite me.. Sorry for my thoughts.. Thanks for your videos, nevertheless..
