BangersInMyKnickers posted:I don't know if they still do this, but a few years back if you ran a 2 vCPU Oracle VM on a 16 core server they would try to make you license all 16 cores. They justified this by saying that the paravirtual drivers offloaded cycles from inside the VM to the hypervisor allowing you to have more performance than you were entitled to by running their software in a VM. gently caress Oracle. not just the 16 cores on that server. all the cores in all the servers that it is possible to migrate the vm to run on. the "upside" to this was that you could run as many oracle VMs as you wanted on your oracle-licensed virtualization cluster this was a great way to guarantee endless growth in oracle licensing, because the marginal cost of a VM running oracle was $0, until you needed to add hosts to the cluster

Farmer Crack-rear end posted:honestly surprised Oracle hasn't tried to make moves for licensing based on percentage of revenue or dollar amount, whichever is greater mysteriously, the licensing cost after discounts always hovers around a fixed % of operating profits, i wonder why that is  BangersInMyKnickers posted:lol I've been accidentally forwarded internal sales spreadsheets from a few of the big tech companies like that and if you don't think their sales guys have a spreadsheet with your estimate gross/net revenue and current tech outlays and will be adjusting their pricing to squeeze every red cent they can out of you then you're fooling yourself oracle is just better at it than most

That is the only "blessed" VM platform for Oracle DBs and they will threaten the poo poo out of you with legal and sales if you attempt to run their software on a different stack oracle will let you run oracle on any platform you want, if you are willing to pay for it they still support their in-memory database for vax. from the 1980s. i don't want to imagine how big those bills are.

bob dobbs is dead posted:isn't this the kind that skeleton keys are a bypass for kind of. a skeleton key is designed to get through the warding, which are the projections into the side of the keyway (the slot you stick the key in). there are some locks that operate by engaging warding at the back of the lock and all you have to do is hook that part to open the lock. what he has pictured there is likely a key to a lever lock, which can also have a warded keyway but also needs the cuts in the key to be the proper heights to cause gates in the levers to line up properly so the bolt can slide.

Details about two vulnerabilities in an adult-themed virtual reality (VR) application were available to the general public for five days before the vendor intervened and patched the security holes. Research published by Digital Interruption, a UK-based cyber-security company, revealed that nVR, a web-based service selling adult-themed VR applications, contained two vulnerabilities that would have allowed an attacker to download names, email addresses and device (PC) names for everyone with an account on the site or for people who purchased content using PayPal accounts.

jerry seinfel posted:minor thing but i noticed that whatsapp doesn't seem to actually hide message content on android lockscreen if you have that setup in the OS settings I'd consider it an Android design bug that the user doesn't have to explicitly set that themselves, nor is it available for all notifications for the app rather than per channel, but you should be able to long press the notification to enter notification settings, and set it per channel. I don't use WhatsApp so I don't know if they set a separate channel for each person/chat/whatever though. If you can PM me more info, I'd appreciate it.

Not an IT or comp person at all, but a while ago at my workplace we got a company wide email that we got infected by a virus. The IT department told us to solve this by downloading Malwarebytes, running the trial version's software cleanup and then uninstalling it. The size of the company I work for couple hundred to low thousands employees and they're large enough to have multiple offices. Exactly how sketchy is this?
