The only reason you would want to use HTML is if you are embedding
graphics or scripts. If you are doing that you should be in a binary
group.

Thanks...the paranoia in this newsgroup always makes me smile.

Ignorance is bliss.

Are you the official newsgroup prepper?

Sorry, but my computer operating system ain't the target yours is.

Yesterday I fired up the iMac for the first time in about 3 months. I
tried to update the software because apparently there have been some
hacks on the OSX system recently. I received notice via email to make
sure I updated the system.

Had to go through four windows asking me to sign with passwords into my
Apple account, "iCloud" account (which I never created), my "iTunes"
account (which drives me nuts), and my Apple "Apps" account, all of
which was requested in order to simply update the OS. I shut the thing
off.

I think the iMac is a very nice, well built computer but Apple's way of
doing things just isn't for me. The Windows laptop I use everyday
works just fine, updates itself when required and doesn't require me to
sign in to a "Windows" account on a regular basis to use. Also never
had any problems with viruses or malware and I've been using it since
2009. I credit the AVG anti-virus software for much of that.

Your machine isn't set up properly. When there is an update, I get an
on-screen notice and I am asked if I want it. If I say yes, the update
downloads and installs automatically.

That's what it did. When I booted it I saw the on-screen notice about
updates and said "yes". It then started with the requests for sign-in
and passwords for the Apple accounts I listed. I signed into the
general Apple account because it was the only password I could remember
and just hit "cancel" on the other Apple account requests. I thought it
started the update process and left to take care of some other things I
had to do. Came back an hour or so later and it reported update was not
complete until I signed into iCloud, iTunes, etc. That's when I just
shut the thing down and said, "screw it".

My guess is that Harry has his security settings at "come **** me" so
he is auto logged onto everything. He doesn't think anyone can hack an
apple.

Your guess would be, as usual, wrong.

Tell that to Jennifer Lawrence, not that anyone wants to see you
naked.

So, are you a prepper?

Better than going through life unprepared and expecting someone else
to save you.

So, you *are* a prepper.

Any liberal arts majors in your neighborhood?

It's not that I can't do what Apple tells me to do. I just have no
interest in constantly responding to their demands in order to use the
computer. It's set up fine but I've found that Apple is really a higher
maintenance OS than Windows Vista or Win 7

Absurd.

Don't know about Apple, but I've downloaded Win 7 updates maybe 3 times
in the 5 years I've been running it. It was painless.

Why would I believe you had a clue.

I'm not the one who comes here and whines about computer problems,
including computer security problems, nor am I naive enough to think
that the Windoze and Apple operating systems are equivalent in the
number or ferocity of attacks they receive from hackers.

You say that like you think being prepared for an emergency is a bad
thing.
I guess that is why a little bull**** tropical storm is a "super
storm" when it gets up there. You get a little dust devil and it is a
"tornado" that rips up houses that were built to a 60 MPH wind code.

BTW you seem to be the guy with the arsenal and the giant generator

Preppers aren't "preparing" for *an* emergency. They are "prepping" for
the end of civilization.

As for our genny, I have it because the power companies up here would
rather spend the money for crews to repair the wires after a storm than
pay for the necessary chopping down of trees and tree limbs near their
wires.

You have the genset to keep your cpap machine running during an outage.

Have you tried this?

Oh, sure. I am "prepped" for a short duration power outage. But I'm not
a prepper.

I am not whining about computer problems. Who are you talking about?

The reason hackers don't go after apple as much is simply because they
only have a small fraction of the market and there is not much to gain
by hacking them except naked selfies of movie stars.

BTW they just released a hack that nobody is immune from. It can be
buried in the firmware of a USB memory stick that is burned into the
stick and exploits a flaw in the USB hardware. Those thumb drives are
not just "memory". They are actually a little computer. It goes across
all product and OS lines. Sleep tight.

I don't use USB memory sticks.
