IIRC, Thunderbird can import mbox natively.

Happy New Year to all...

Looks really good. Can you please double check the edit time for posts, I seem to be able to edit really old posts...

So it's true, Aquaman does suck...

Just like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and hope you enjoy a safe and pleasant holiday period. For all others who also celebrate other events at this time I also wish a: Happy Hanukkah Io, Saturnalia! Happy and Joyful Kwanzaa Happy Constitution Day Joyful Feast of Winter Veil Happy...

AMDs CPUs weren't vulnerable to Meltdown, only some the Spectre variants, most of which performance loss due to mitigation were minor. My only concern with Ryzen are the mobile parts, and how AMD has handled the driver situation with them...

And the comments/reviews certainly have a good sense of humour about them! ;)

A quick browse through the article, suggests that a debian based userland is now available whilst running in ChromeOS (no dual boot), allowing users to install GNU/Linux applications (via the debian repos) and have those applications run along side your native ChromeOS apps and Android apps...

OK, here is the data from the Australian BOM for: Amberley RAAF airbase: 1941-Present... http://www.bom.gov.au/jsp/ncc/cdio/weatherData/av?p_nccObsCode=36&p_display_type=dataFile&p_startYear=&p_c=&p_stn_num=040004 Logan City: 1993-Present...

Source?

None.... ;)

It was refreshing to see an honest review on the durability of the device as well, something I think that is often skipped in most reviews.

IPad Pro review...

Due to an administrative billing error with our ISP, we had our service restricted/shaped to 256/256Kbps (down/up) yesterday.... (all corrected now). It was an eye opener to see how bloated the web has become, and what interesting, was the customer portal (for accounts/services/payments/etc)...

Today the family took a drive up to O'Reillys @ Lamington NP, and went for a short bushwalk... Enjoying all the birds and other flora/fauna we came across this cute little guy... Sorry for the bad pic, but off the camera on the mobile using digital zoom, as didn't want to get too close...

I don't understand it, I always tend to go for decent without spending $$$. (The tyres I got were AU$270ea and have a 80K km (50K mi) rating - I'll be happy with 60K km (38K mi) from them). Last set of tyres on the car (Dunlop SP Sport 01) we changed at 55K km (34K mi), as while they were still...

Just a short post... Was getting new tyres on the car last weekend (Cooper CS5 Ultras for our Suzuki Grand Vitara), and whilst waiting for them to fit them whilst in the waiting room, a rather smug looking individual comes in asking about getting two new tyres for their car (Merc C63 AMG about...

Not surprised at all, especially schemes that rely on using SMS/txt delivered pin codes. (really easy to hijack/listen in on phones these days). Thanks for the link. ;)

I don't know what it's like in the US, but here in Aus, there has been a significant increase in going after "soft" targets, especially small companies that deal with large sums of money but won't have internal IT or even dedicated IT budgets, eg small legal firms, small real-estate agents, etc...

Sounds like the sysadmins have left the default settings in place then. (disable NTP client access, have the client sync with the nearest DC or locate the PDC). You can create GPOs that can either configure NTP settings for clients, or allow clients to set them. (The former being the preferred)...

Are you sure about that? I know it prefers one or more of the DCs as the NTP source, but surely you can set an external NTP source? (even if it means doing it via GPO).

@LM, any reason you're not allowing Windows to use NTP to set the local time? (so that the time is accurate to a few msec).

Looks like MS have re-released update 1809 (aka October 2018 update)... https://www.theverge.com/2018/10/9/17957506/microsoft-windows-10-october-2018-update-data-deletion-fix

And the thing is, this could be happening with any ODM/OEM supplier... Supply chain infiltration is a major concern for those in the infosec field (esp at gov/mil levels). Additionally, wouldn't it be easier/less detectable to hack the firmware of the BMC to provide those remote functions...

Nothing wrong with warm sake, but in a microwave... too hot, too fast will kill the flavour and alcohol... Same applies to some cognac and brandies... PSA: https://www.sakeshop.com.au/pages/how-to-warm-sake

I even noticed this here in Oz, got an email with a WD 120GB SSD for AU$38, insanely cheap.

I thought most cinema was shot at 2.35:1 ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/21:9_aspect_ratio ) which would make 21:9 the ideal aspect for monitors and TV for movie viewing... I know Dell, LG and HP now offer at or very similar to this aspect... eg...

The cloud in action... ;)

I can say that I'm not really a fan of Chrome 69's tab visual design and colour scheme... (and the new Android Messages for SMS on Android phones sucks as well).

@LM, Have you considered any of the other NUC designs from other vendors? https://www.asus.com/au/Mini-PCs/ https://www.zotac.com/us/product/mini_pcs/all https://www.asrock.com/nettop/ Most have DP ports available. Whilst slightly bigger than a NUC, The Zotac Magnus EN1070K has dual DP1.3...

I wouldn't expect any support for anything other than 10, due to: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/04/13/microsoft_kills_support_old_windows_on_new_chips/ Also for the lack of DP (some models have miniDP - for example...

Sorry, missed the sarcasm tag... ;)

@LM, I thought we had already covered this? http://www.storageforum.net/forum/showthread.php/11342-Hacked#4

In other news, Australia has a new Prime Minister, Scott Morrison.... Many who consider he failed in his appointments of head of social security (Centrelink) and failed as Treasurer under the previous PM.

They're not?

nVidia Quadro cards date back to 1999? (The first Quadro card was based on the original GeForce256 GPU). And before that were the VPro cards used in SGI IRIX based workstations....

I thought the IRS will send registered mail in an audit/investigation event? (I know the Australian ATO only communicates via registered mail in such circumstances).

I didn't know you drove an Audi?

So I assume you'll be after the Quadro RTX8000 then? ;) https://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/nvidia-unveils-quadro-rtx-worlds-first-ray-tracing-gpu

I wouldn't think of it as sub-standard, but the parts are released and used in accordance to the specification defined by nVidia. The founders edn (reportedly) use high-spec components (eg capacitors, resisters, etc) in their construction, but I'm sure the actual GPUs will be no different to any...

Agreed, Defenders appears to be no better or worse than other AV products. IIRC, Windows Defender tends to rank as the least performance intrusive AV product... Where 3rd party AV products seem to differentiate themselves are the plugins for email client and web browsers these days. (And...

Yep... The device shows in the system tray if not mounted, or mounted as a driver letter, but not if mounted on a path.

PSA: If you mount an external drive on a filesystem path and not as a drive letter, Windows 10 won't let you eject the device. (Apparently only devices mounted as a drive letter can be ejected). And the stupid bug of the day - Excel 2016.... You can't open two excel spreadsheets that both the...

IIRC, you'll be waiting 2-3 years for Meltdown to be solved on Intel (since there is a 3-4yr development cycle), and for Spectre, well who knows when there will be CPU mitigations in place as new Spectre like attacks are cropping up on a regular basis?

I agree with Tannin, very, very nasty hot summer awaiting most of Australia... FYI we had 28C here today. (avg is ~20C at this time of year)

LM, Mac's and Linux systems certainly do have malware. Anyone who says otherwise is very-very misinformed. 1, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacOS_malware 2, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_malware malware of GNU/Linux systems is on the rise, due to the increased deployment of GNU/Linux on...

There a few AV solutions for Linux, but most these target Win32/macOS viruses. You could try ClamAV, but it's best to "nuke it from orbit" and clean install... (copy your data from /home, scan and restore seems ok). As for their claims, checking for an RDP server instance, you need to check for...

I'm not seeing anything like that in recommended feed/channels on YT for me... And my wife keeps an eye on the kids watching YT stuff on their tablets, and they haven't seen anything similar either... I would guess it's a combination of 2 + 4... It's recommending not based on your history, but...
