True, but probably ultimately not any worse than services that require you to put in data for "account recovery" that can easily be found with a few minutes of open source intelligence research.

You could, and should, put whatever you want in those questions.

I like that some schmuck on /. thinks they've got the international spy game on lock. You believe that one-line in a paywalled article on a no-name bullshit site citing a source as "an amateur security researcher" is the real story? That this particular site can be traced back to the "wave of deaths of CIA sources" in China 15 years ago? C'mon man.

Comment Re:Shouldn't use wet transformers there (Score 1) 70

Dry-type transformers go up to 72.5 kV on the high side -- considered the max for dry type. Everything above that is oil filled.

The transformer that burned in this case appears to be in a substation operating at 132 kV or thereabouts. It doesn't appear to be a 275 yard, but I've just looked at pictures. Definitely not a 66 kV yard so dry-type wouldn't be an option in this application.

Comment Re:It's called "Windows App"? Really? (Score 3, Interesting) 52

It shouldn't. This isn't a tool for remote desktops.

It is a tool for remote desktops. The iOS app, formerly known as Microsoft Remote Desktop updated itself to "Windows". When I go to the macOS App Store and search for "Microsoft Remote Desktop" the first result is "Windows App".

Now, if you and I are talking about two entirely different things, then that proves GP's point that this move creates confusion. If you and I are talking about the *same* thing, then you're not understanding that it has everything to do with being a tool for remote desktops also proves GP's point that this move creates confusion.

It's fucked, bottom line.
