This was before iCloud and iMessage.

Here’s a fun story about Russia.

Years ago I was the BlackBerry server manager. BES was unique in that it created a tunnel between the device and the BES, and the admin was in complete control of the encryption and authentication. The way it worked is you put your BES next to your email server and give BES an admin account so could read all of the mailbox info and sync what it needed to the device.

As the company expanded into Russia we looked into putting a BES and email server there to improve things for them.

That’s when we found out that BES was not allowed to be sold directly to companies in Russia. Instead you could buy it from their mobile phone providers , and you would give them that admin account.

The only reason for this that I could come up with is that Russia could not break BlackBerry encryption, so instead they made it impossible to even use BES if you were a Russian company.

We ended up letting the Russian employees travel to the us every few months and return home with 3-4 devices, powered off, with activeSIM cards we were paying for even though they weren’t being used. The roaming charges were impressive.

Side note: Russia didn’t care about imap, active sync, android or iPhones. Only BlackBerry. I wonder if they had those hacked already.

Wow they must have really taken a sales dive. Nice.

Also you’d buy in bulk because the cost of delivery is probably the same.

Usually only helpful if you have a NAS, but I’ve used it to stream tv shows without having to get bothered or blocked because the service can only be used in the US. I watched some NFL over youtubetv while in Germany for example.

Mine runs Orb and Tailscale as an exit node.

Easy partner, no kids and 3 relationships since 1997 isn’t a red flag.

This sounds like leasing renamed. Not unusual in the enterprise space.

Amd is arguably more affected. Intels CPUs have memory built into it, and intel bought about a years worth of memory.

I don’t think a newcomer could do it, but a company like Intel is posed to be in a good position. They don’t have much market share but they have a good product.

Someone is going to make bank by catering to consumers. Will the market accept nvidia back with open arms if/when the ai investments fall through?

This is to protect the victims, right?

Here are the instructions to enable and description of how it works. Seems really complete.

Stop spreading disinformation then.

You know you can decline the onedrive folder sync during initial setup right?

Sounds like some sort of napalm.

When a post to a website gets popular but the website doesn’t have enough resources to handle the number of people visiting it.

DDOS is a symptom. A DDOS can cause different failure scenarios at different points.

Maybe the attack is causing the service to access a backend database that isn’t equipped to handle the traffic. The web server queues requests but they can’t be handled in a timely manner.

Maybe the attack causes a firewall to spend too much time inspecting the traffic by sending a malformed packet.

Maybe the attack simply overwhelms the bandwidth of the firewall or router. The Reddit “hug of death” is a common example.

In short, lots of things can lead to a service interruption. A DDOS is just a description of a way to cause that interruption by using distributed source hosts.

They are still up 25% over the past year?
