As most of us are on Facebook, you'll probably be aware soon, if not already, that they are updating their T's & C's and Privacy Policy
Read more here: https://www.facebook.com/about/terms-updates/?ref=notif&notif_t=data_policy_notice

I'm always skeptical of updates to these policies and always question my continued use of the service.

What do you think of the updated T's & C's?

Anything in particular to look for? Not gonna read it right this second.

It took me a few goes to read that link correctly.
The first few times, I read Linux BS DOS. 😆

@Carnival-Boy Well that is truly disappointing!

@scottalanmiller I set mine to auto update. May not have been the best idea, but meh.

I think mine is set to as well...

I honestly haven't sympathy for any of these people with a camera listed. There was zero hacking involved in this, merely a simple script to try default credentials on every IP address.

Oh definitely no sympathy. They are their unadvertised public cameras, that's all. They were foolish to make them that way if they did not intend to share them.

Even Omaha, NE is a higher target than Dallas 🙂

Ok, guess I'm good then.

I don't allow office associates to friend me.

Thanks. Off to do some patching....

I bought a Onedrive 50 gig subscription last year to have an online place to save my pictures. Now that I've personally setup my own Office 365 business account I wanted to migrate everything over to that single account - It's been pretty frustrating the past two weeks trying to move items between them and get the sync to work.

The fact is that the answer of totally blocking both is likely not the best answer.

I don't understand. If you are okay blocking the useful one of the two, why would it ever be allowed to not block the less useful and more risky? This just doesn't make sense. If you are willing to block cloud storage you should be blocking USB by default, no question. Blocking only one doesn't make any general sense. Blocking both or neither, does.

Scott, just drop it. This discussion has run its course.

I really need to buy one too. I was told that I had earned a free one from a vendor when I got my vExpert certification but that was a marketing scam. They never really sent one. None of that free stuff that people claimed to give to vExperts turned out to be real. Except for Pluralsight, that was awesome.

I'm pretty confident that they care. Those licenses are how they make their money.

Ok, let me rephrase. They have to catch me!

If the self healing takes place outside the OS, for example at the virtual level, I'm not sure how the malware is as big a threat?

Coolio!
