Wonder if Server Products includes Windows Server OS? Not really bigger than Windows if so

>> The next biggest risk I have encountered is phishing emails
I describe that threat much differently. I don't blame users. I blame windows for allowing a link clicked in an email to install software, to alter system files, to upload PII to Nigerian servers. Users should not be trusted. Just because a macro in an excel doc inside an email CAN do something clever doesn't mean that windows should allow that to happen so easily.
Would also like to see block mounting of ISOs by default.
Well, that's the other thing. I'm in Ontario, and I'm not even 100% sure on the legality of "unlimited PTO" here.
Presumably it's basically, legally, no contractual paid PTO but then they let you take PTO anyways? Because if they put N days in writing, well, then it's just the same as always. A liability on their books, etc.
Also in Ontario with unlimited PTO. They have to pay out the minimum provincially required amount of vacation if you don’t take it, so two weeks.

I really wish there were more tactical games where the battles and armies were predetermined rather than configurable - I absolutely love tweaking army composition and handling resource builds and tech trees and etc. -sometimes- but some days I really just want to be airdropped into a (preferably turn based) fight and left to think my way through winning with the resources I've been given.
(then if I really just want to shoot a virtual bad guy, I go back to replaying the old Wing Commander games since for whatever reason I can climb the learning curves of those more easily than FPSes)
I like the Civilization series, with a modern era start, for this.
There’s often a couple different ways to victory and there’s already enough built out to put plans into action immediately.
I think that's important.
I don't have citations, but my understanding is that what the truckers are doing directly is illegal, but that police haven't taken action in order to avoid violence or to fuel the grievances of the protesters.
Is it illegal or violent to donate to them?
The federal government made it illegal with the emergencies act, this donation almost certainly came before that though. More relevant is that the Ontario government asked a court (which was granted) to freeze all funds related to the convoy.
So maybe not illegal as much as just a terrible look for the party.

One big problem is misaligned incentives. At most big orgs, you have an infosec dept with authority to put all kinds of virus scanning, etc etc on every computer in the org. They get rewarded if there are no incidents; they do not get penalized if they make your machine impossible to use.
Well designed security programs shouldn't slow down your PC. This is a failure on the infosec department. Sysmon/Windows logging can do most of the hardwork with very few resources.

OK I mean what's stopping NSO from dissolving and coming back as...NS0. Freeze their assets and Israel just injects more money. Put travel restrictions on their employees and Israel will issue new passports/identities. I see no reason or Israel to stop unless the US government gets involved. Even then they'll continue what they're doing, except VPN into Russia.
Could they go after the ownership group? Novalpina Capital is UK-based.

Surely there are better ways to reduce spam than blocking entire TLDs? I also think it's the silent, unfixable nature that annoys most people. Email spam goes into your spam box, where you can still access it. You can mark email as not being spam. No such luck here
Email providers absolutely block email, its the edge cases that make your spam folder.
They may not have had a security email but I’m sure there was some contact this could have been sent to before posting something like this.
Part of me wonders if OP even tried or was mostly just looking to dunk on a company.
