I think it’s very unrealistic to expect all sysadmins to spot uninitialized memory access in all software they don’t produce. This calls for independent software testing at scale which is more elaborate than just pushing the responsibility to sysadmins.
For a lot of people, I would think that the answer to “what is a human?” Would be closer to religious and philosophical definitions than scientific ones.
VPN also have their attack surface: https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/cyberpedia/ivanti-VPN-vulnerability-what-you-need-to-know
Both can be true, a hardened service with strict segmentation and authorization can be harder to compromise than a loosely maintained VPN appliance.
Even when designing secure software, appliances and protocols, they can have their flaws.
I would say there is no definite answer for the question, it’s still on a case-by-case basis.
I agree that it might be a problem of lower-quality appliances. Anecdotally, mine is 20 years old and was repaired recently (some parts had to be manufactured as they don’t make them anymore) and still works.
Is there an open alternative for Consumer Reports? The content of this link is blocked without a subscription it seems like. Thx!
Strong disagree. I am a skater and it’s not by chance that skaters started to wear Dickies work pants. Durable materials from blue collar working clothes are mostly cheap (except Carhartt now hehe) and make a difference.
In my experience, Vans has some good shirts as well but it varies depending on the product. Also, skate shops (support your local!) have better (as in more durable) options than bigger stores. If they don’t sell skateboard parts, go somewhere else if you live in a bigger city.
