and good lord we need to get some better resource links for newbies than r/netsec, like its good for a reddit but its still reddit

speaking of secfucks and reddit, https://www.reddit.com/r/TronScript/ is a pretty good collection of "good at computers" types who believe in the "run a magical program" school of infosec

why wouldn't you just download the official iso. did you know? if you don't activate windows 10, a few features are locked out but it mostly works?

a lot of people don't know that microsoft hands out the install media no questions asked

you still can't download a windows 7 ISO from MS afaict, but they even have a tool for downloading windows 10

Microsoft's website will give you a Windows 7 ISO if you give them a valid key

you can still get a free upgrade if you jump through some sort of user accessibility hoop, I don't know anything about that specifically

You can still get the install media for Win10 from Microsoft and install it without a valid license just fine, it just locks you out of some features like Hackbunny said

iirc filezilla is bundled with adware when it's offered through sourceforge but that's an issue with sourceforge and not filezilla itself

there was a period of time when sourceforge got owned and everything was injected with adware. but that's what you get for using open sores.

was it actually a malicious attack? I thought they just sold out

Parents had an android smart tv with some outdated poo poo on it, and it would take 2+ minutes to start every time they turned it on because it was timing out trying to update apps it has installed or some poo poo that would not resolve. They were about to return it to the store, and I just took out the wifi creds and it started booting fast again.

I'm shopping for new TVs now and I'm just afraid I'd get one that flat out refuses to work without an active connection.

I've read about ones that require an Internet connection to complete setup before you're allowed to actually watch anything on it

are you not aware of security problems with internet of things poo poo (and by extension smart tvs)

i was explaining what a ransomware was to a coworker who didn't know anything about it and why TV's can now get them and he was like "but if the TV isn't smart how will I watch netflix on it??"

"you know they sell like $30 boxes that do that that you can hook up to the TV, and then even if that thing gets rekt you're only out $30 instead of an entire TV"

"ohhhhhhh that makes much more sense!"

thanks guy
Rokus are great little momputer-type devices and they seem a lot more bolted down than your average iot device

can you even install apps on a roku or are you just stuck with what it's bundled with? I don't remember

Right, but if you're only using it as a TV tuner and don't hook it up to the internet...

(point taken though)

If it's not hooked up to the Internet, then it's probably not going to get owned, but how many people are going to know not to keep it hooked up?

ate all the Oreos posted:

i like that thing actually, it has a really weird "free TV" service on it that has "channels" composed of bizarre garbage sub-youtube dregs, like there's this one 'channel' about videogames where every single 'show' takes place in the exact same room and they're all just 'nerds sit around and talk about videogames' or 'nerds sit around while wearing onesies and talk about videogames,' it's like some kind of modern public access station
this sounds like the 2016 equivalent of some poo poo you'd find on television at 3 in the morning

medical devices are some of the most deeply, troublingly flawed pieces of computer you will ever encounter. companies go to extreme lengths to define the domain the device covers just so to avoid fda regulation (which, lol if that still even exists in 2 years) and will always do the bare minimum required by the loosest interpretation of the regs then fight it out in court. they don't give a poo poo at all about the patient's safety at all because they have the patient over a barrel (you need the device or you die).
