      It's not that lots of people don't do it, but there is a big gap between doing it and recommending it as an intentional process.

      Instead he should recommend that people take backups, for example.

      You kind of went as far to say it was almost negligent, if I remember. Which was one of the reasons I really changed around how I deal with the stuff.

      But to hear it from a security guy ... as I said, made me go "hmmmm".

      Security Guy on TV (podcast) is oh such a great source......

        Not saying that he is, just saying they have a large audience of people who DO listen to the show.

          My goal today is now to post something you'll comment positively on. I have a pretty bad track record thus far.

          Hmmmm, I'll have to think about this one.

            I had not tried to watch a video fullscreen in some time, so I do not know when this started.

            Using current Chrome
            Go here: http://mangolassi.it/topic/131/nsfw-failarmy-week/55
            Start a video. It plays fine.
            Hit full screen and it attempts to switch then crashes back to the thread with no video playing.

            same

                Well it's a good thing you challenge isn't working the other way because this post made me truly laugh out loud in my office.

                  The most anyone ever gets out of me is a snicker. I haven't laughed hard is a really long time sadly.

                    I'm a pretty happy person, in general.

                    That's why online insults/taunts/whatever don't really bother me, and I rarely fight with anyone online.

                    Life's too short.

                      I totally agree. I'm a generally happy person. I just have a really dry sense of humor.

                          You need to go out drinking with buddies more or something. Random conversation with friends has left me on the floor gasping for breath from laughing my ass off more than anything else.

                            This morning I woke up at 5:00 AM. On Facebook I saw a meme page that made a generic, terrible post and I thought "I'm never going to f***ing to run a meme page". I went back to look at my own page and realized I already am. That kind of stuff makes me laugh. My life is generally really funny but I'm usually the only one in on the joke.

                              Steve and Leo LaPorte both report that they don't believe that AV really does anything for you today other than give you a false sense of security. And over all I agree with this. As long as you are fully patched and paying attention to what you're doing, you're about as safe as you can be. AV catching something is more like just dumb luck than anticipated catch of malware.

                                What I find so damned funny - Steve Gibson preaches about how good old software is for being more secure because we've had time to beat on it, like his continued use of XP. But if we are to believe @scottalanmiller and that each new version of Windows is an evolution, Steve's continued push against moving to newer Windows versions because they are less secure is really stupid, yet at the same time, Steve is talking about moving to Chrome because it's newer, more modern ... it's just funny if you think about it.

                                yes, I would say that he fundamentally doesn't understand how software maturity works and totally has no idea about how software gets made. XP isn't getting "honed" over time, it's just left to rot. If it were being regularly patched and maintained, there would be some value to the concept, but it is not. Windows 10 is the latest release that came from XP, not only with more and current patches, but with more than a decade more testing on it, more honing and major components upgrades when more secure ways of dealing with things were invented (or could be handled by the CPU.)

                                I think his retort to that would be he's not worried about the old code, but the new code, the new features. It's kinda funny (again) he almost seems like a technophobe at times (I know I do at times) but then he's neck deep in it at the same time.

                                He claims to have nothing to hide, as a public figure, like a news journalist, that he doesn't worry about using highly secure texting or email. While he loves Threema for their very secure messaging platform, he doesn't consider his need for privacy to be worth the hassle of trying to push this software upon his friends and family. So he's not willing to force this issue but at the same time, he's loudly refusing to use Windows 10 because of privacy concerns.

                                  I get the false sense of security thing, a little. That's just about educating people not to be freaking idiots, though. If they think that, then there is no chance that they are doing the other things that they should be doing.

                                  For example, people who think this might also think that XP is safe. Clearly, my point is made. AV does protect you against some things and people who are avoiding it are in the tin foil hat crowd, in my opinion, and start doing insane things like running ancient code (read: immature code) because they don't think about how things really work and just start running off of emotions.

                                      Sadly, there are times that I feel that way to.. Leo is definitely nothing more than a hobbyist at best. Any pedestal that I used to have Steve Gibson on definitely doesn't exist anymore.. that said.. I do still learn a fair amount of knowledge, and like any place you gain knowledge from I have to temper what I hear from them with things I learn elsewhere.

                                        That's my fear with the things that I hear that these guys say (I have to preface that because I have never heard either of them directly and only heard of them from people on here talking about them, so none of this is an opinion of what they have said, only what people have said that they have said) is that they act or sound like their technical and know what they are talking about and give horrendously reckless advice that would easily hinge on professional negligence if they worked in IT. The only thing that protects them is that they are just entertainers, but dangerous ones. Their audience, likely, thinks that they are experts and that's really horrible for end users.

                                          I have listened to three show so far, and made a lot of changes because they seem really to knoiw what they are doing. I mean, they are on the Internet, how bad could it be?

                                          (That was just for Jared to see if he was reading.)

                                          Anyway, I have really listened to 3 shows, and I think they could help people who have NO clue about security. But like everything they need to be taken with a grain of salt.

                                            Does "running old systems and not running AV" sound like helping people? I think anyone at a level to where they would listen to a podcast of that nature is likely to a point where that would be pretty dangerous advice.
