US bans Kaspersky antivirus software due to 'national security risk'
  • Not to give too much away. I've had to remove consumer and enterprise versions before.

    How enterprise is supposed to go is you get the deletion key. Uninstall restart the machine and it should be gone. Except that didn't always happen. So you would do it again which sometimes worked or McAfee says the deltion key is now wrong, probably because it didn't verify the uninstall. So you had to delete certain files in it's installation folder run regular windows uninstall that hopefully finally kills it. I think at some point a downloaded uninstaller was used but I don't really remember.

    Consumer was an "easier" uninstall mostly cus we had a script. Try windows uninstall normally or if that doesn't work get the McAfee uninstaller online, run in command line with options (most of the time it was required and not doing so was an extra unessicsry step). You also had to check other places to make sure you got everything (it was a while ago I forgot what and where) because McAfee still sometimes just keeps running in the background doing nothing (hopefully) but hogging reasources.

    Was a while ago so for all I know McAfee got it's shit together, but I would be surprised if they did.

  • wayland was a mistake
  • If you have been downvoted and banned before it's not because of Wayland. It's cus you are kind of an arsehole.

    You making a meme and then acting exactly like what you are making fun of is kinda hilarious though.

  • CW: New York Times report finds israel systematically rapes Palestinians, sometimes to death.
  • What I am saying is that when it comes to this is that either if Republican or Democrat comes in it's a moot point they both align on Israel so Biden being pro Israel shouldn't make you vote for Trump (not that I thought you would) as nothing will change on that instance. Foreign policy is also a special beast that sure the parties can influence it does what it does based on all the hands that are in the pie.

    If you vote third party or abstain more power to you.

    This all being said I am not American so I don't get to decide, I just get to watch and hope that nobody here looks and decides whatever happens there is a good idea here. That and my own countries politics sucks just as much.

  • If you owned a magic library people donated to in order to preserve media for eternity but which was going through overpopulation, what criteria would you use to decide which media survived/discarded?
  • Keep the most popular at the time. Pulp. The weird fan fic you wrote when you were 14, memes. The things that actual people enjoy, there is a lot that someone 1000 years from now can learn reading your weird embarrasing fan fiction and diary.

    The rich and powerful are going to preserve all their crap just fine, the normal everyday doesn't seem to get high priority for preservation.
