Yeah, what happened to all that concern about Win10 spying on users?  I 
won't use it, but it seems most people are satisfied with whatever 
assurances MS offered.

As in, none at all AFAICT.

I have contracts that require me to protect people's data "with not less 
than a reasonable standard of care", as well as protective orders (for 
confidential info of parties to litigation) where I could be fined or go 
to jail if I don't.

No MS slurpies in this shop, thanks.

Cheers

Other companies have the same kind of contractual obligation but that 
doesn't stop them from using Windows 10.  Amazing the government doesn't 
care about security that much either.  Just because they can't be sued. 
They didn't even bother to disable autorun on the Predator drone PCs as 
if running Windows wasn't bad enough.

The Chinese government went to Linux in the 90's.  I wonder how many 
other governments use Windows.

The Chinese and the Russians both make extensive use of Windows.

They just don't own the computers that run it :)

I wonder if the opposite could be true - that you'd be sued for *not*
using a "reasonable standard of care" by using a "free" OS?  No one
said that courts were sane.

I suppose it depends on who you want to use as your news source. I 
sorted mine recently using news-eternal.I can give some pointers but I'm 
no guru...

My NNTP service at thecubenet.com has a bad SSL certificate, and it's 
necessary to add an exception before any connection succeeds. 
Thunderbird hides this error extremely well, so unless you know about 
it, you won't know how to look for a fix. Affects Linux also.

Of course, your problem may be completely different.

You input the news server name incorrectly.
