Also, what vulp said. Pentru un telefon cu pretenții mari de securitate, e nevoie de Replicant sau CyanogenMod / LineageOS fără Google apps instalate.

When you try to scan or download updates through Windows Update, you receive the following error message:

Unsupported Hardware
Your PC uses a processor that isn’t supported on this version of Windows and you won’t receive updates.

Additionally, you may see an error message on the Windows Update window that resembles the following:

Windows could not search for new updates
An error occurred while checking for new updates for your computer.

A inceput caldura rau si vreau sa-mi iau un aer conditionat doar ca nu stiu nimic despre ele si sunt destul de scumpe, nu vreau sa iau ceva gresit.

Aveti idee ce as putea alege de aici http://www.cel.ro/aparate-de-aer-conditionat/ ?

Yesterday a strange commit landed in the EasyList repo. The "functionalclam.com" domain was removed with a comment "Removed due to DMCA takedown request".

An ad server was unblocked by all ad blockers due to a DMCA request. Let that sink in for a moment...

[...]

This might set a very important precedent of an advertising company exploiting DMCA to force people to see their ads, and can lead to ridiculous consequences if left unnoticed.

EasyList is a community project and may not be able to protect themselves from such an attack. I am calling on other ad blockers developers, you people and everybody else concerned about people's rights (EFF, please) to stand up to this threat and protect ad blocking.

UPD (11 Aug, 8:09GMT): EFF representative offered their help to EasyList maintainers.

A software package update for a Windows utility product distributed by antivirus vendor Avast has been spreading an unsavory surprise: a malware package that could allow affected computers to be remotely accessed or controlled with what appears to be a legitimate signing certificate. The malware, which was distributed through the update server for the Windows cleanup utility CCleaner, was apparently inserted by an attacker who compromised the software "supply chain" of Piriform, which was acquired by Avast in July. There have been more than 2 billion downloads of CCleaner worldwide, so the potential impact of the malware is huge.

In a blog post this morning, Cisco Talos Intelligence's Edmund Brumaghin, Ross Gibb, Warren Mercer, Matthew Molyett, and Craig Williams reported that Talos had detected the malware during beta testing of a new exploit-detection technology. The malware was part of the signed installer for CCleaner v5.3 and included code that called back to a command-and-control server as well as a domain-generation algorithm intended to find a new C&C server if the hard-coded IP address of the primary server was lost. Copies of the malicious software installer were distributed to CCleaner users between August 15 and September 12, 2017, using a valid certificate issued to Piriform Ltd by Symantec.

HP is installing a telemetry client on its customers’ computers — and it isn’t offering any warning, or asking permission, before delivering the payload.

Dubbed “HP Touchpoint Analytics Service,” HP says it “harvests telemetry information that is used by HP Touchpoint’s analytical services.” Apparently, it’s HP Touchpoint Analytics Client version 4.0.2.1435.
