My only complaint is the incessant need to include my location with every post.

You control that.

sure, but its always turning itself back on too.

Mine doesn't. Never had that happen on Windows phone, Android or iOS.

so glad it was them and not us 🙂

wow, that was pretty cool!

Unmaintained adware, it therefore appears, can therefore be wrapped in more adware if SourceForge feels like it. But wrappers can only be applied to other projects if SourceForge asks the developers who all-but-abandoned it.

If it's connected to the Internet, then it's not secure.

Yes, that's what I have seen people run into. Using the reserved block and then wanting mobility of the reserved block.

So you're saying I can't have my cake and eat it too?

Pretty much 🙂

I will have to concede that point to you, because as you said, it is working for Microsoft... Guess they are adhering to the if it ain't broke don't break it policy

FTFY.

Playing with licensing could mean going out of business almost overnight. That's very dangerous stuff to try to tweak. A major change means major risk. And honestly, after decades of messing with it and thinking about it, their model is actually really clean, simple and mostly obvious for a large software vendor with a large array of interrelated products that are used in nearly every combination possible that isn't open source.

And I assume you can control the peer to peer nature as well. So that not all peers can push updates.

As of now, no. You can only choose when they get updates.

I expect that to change very quickly.

It does? Everytime I've looked in the last few years, it had been removed.

I was going to check again to confirm, but it looks like you cannot even see anything without signing up for a logmein account. Screw that.

Finally got back around to this.

Updated all my clients that use Veeam to the current version over the last couple days.

Today I setup the first endpoints using the current EndpointBackup.1.1.1.212

It works great for making backups using the the existing Veeam repositories. The plus side to using the Repository is that I get to see it in the VBR panel and status email from existing setup just like if a main backup fails.

Just had time to waste on this.. It was as bad as I expected.

@John-Nicholson has a lot of info about the red headed stepchild that is SFU.

“That's why PoS attacks are so viable right now, because from an attacker's point of view, [these avenues] are nearly as attractive as PCs,” Budd said.

And PoS manufacturers and programmers are total idiots most of the time and make the worst possible stuff you can imagine with literally no security at all in most cases, and in even more cases has to run as full administrator and every other terrible mistake you can imagine.
