Big Win10 1709 patch reinforces twice-a-month patching pace but, oddly, nothing new for 1803

Credit to Author: Woody Leonhard| Date: Fri, 22 Jun 2018 05:36:00 -0700

Microsoft’s Windows 10 patching pace is so fast at this point that one Patch Tuesday doesn’t cover all the bases. Instead, we’re seeing one massive Cumulative Update on Patch Tuesday, and a second — typically large — grab bag of patches later in the month.

You have to wonder what’s happening, though, when Microsoft can deliver its second bundle of patches for 1709, 1703 and 1607 before the second patch for the latest version, 1803, sees light of day.

Apple pushes privacy theme in Safari for iOS 12, 'Mojave'

Apple upgrades its Safari browser on macOS and iOS just once a year, making the refresh more strategic than most of its rivals, notably Google, which last year had eight separate opportunities to add features or functionality to Chrome.

The next Safari, which will be bundled with macOS 10.14 ‘Mojave’ and iOS 12, and offered as a separate download for those who stick with macOS High Sierra (10.13) and Sierra (10.12), thus must make its enhancements count.

On the security and privacy side, Safari tries its hardest to build a case. Here are the important ways Apple’s browser – which shed user share on both the desktop and on mobile over the past year – has staked its reputation for the next 12 months.

Throwback Thursday: Get the picture?

Credit to Author: Sharky| Date: Thu, 21 Jun 2018 03:00:00 -0700

IT director pilot fish at a daily newspaper is reworking the company’s entire network. Why? “There is no security,” sighs fish. “None, with about 90 users in a peer-to-peer Mac and PC environment.”

One night he gets a call from an editor: One of the applications isn’t working. It’s the one that lets a reporter find a photo on a wire service’s website and save it to a folder. The app then moves the folder to a holding folder on another machine, where yet another machine can grab it and put it into the newspaper’s production process.

It takes a couple hours of troubleshooting, but fish tracks down the problem. That holding folder? The one that’s actually named “Do not touch, do not delete”?
