Top Golf
For like, just practicing golf? Or is it an event? You at the one in The Colony? Allie is serving drinks at the Drunken Donkey by there this evening, you know.
Yes, Colony. It was a date. I did not know she was serving or known that she works there. You keep up with them, I don't

Ugh which means it will be a long day for me.

I was on Neflix and FB only this weekend... Netflix has a few dropouts.. I thought nothing of it... but now considering this... It might have been related.

Netflix actually did that thing where it just gives up loading what your trying to watch, the only time I've seen that was when the local ISP was down.

Yeah that happened to me twice, but simply refreshing the page brought it back. The image quality was crap for a while after that too, but cleared up in under 5 mins.

It will be interesting to watch this in roughly 15 min increments.

I've been keeping an eye peeled on our outgoing traffic at home and work. I watch Netflix from a BlueRay player, have the TV, Reciever, and Harmony remotes all hooked up to the network (hardwired as much as possible.) So I can almost guarantee one of those would be vulnerable. I didn't notice anything, but Steam updates were happening, so ~100GB of data moved across our connection in 72 hours. The size of games anymore, geesh.

Sure, but most of that should have been inbound. I suppose playing a game could send a sizable amount out.

heh, I was trying to play World of Warships for a bit, I actually had some terrible lag for the first time I can remember. The game client was giving me an average of 400ms when it's normally less than 70ms.

I'm a bit confused - While I agree that these things might all have security flaws in them, I'm not sure how one would exploit them short of you installing a hacked update, and assuming you're behind a firewall.
As I understand it, the IoT things that are being taken control of either a) are put directly on the internet with no firewall (crazy!) or b) have a port opened on the firewall for remote access/control of those devices and they've been hacked.

As part of b) they could be using UPNP or something to tell the router "Make me available to the world!"

About to boot off to a Mint Live USB.
Getting quite irritated with Windows 10 on my home PC.Get stuffed Skype. You and your random spawning. If I wanted to load you, I'd jolly well click on you.

Oh yeah - Of course.. duh me.

But I'm guessing that @travisdh1 is probably not using a UPNP enabled router, but then again, maybe he is.

Oh, at home, it is enabled. Much as I don't like it, trying to manage all the different ports for all the games we play would take way to much time. Monitoring traffic is easier and takes less time than trying to figure out which ports need opened to which games. (Yeah, my home is much more open to being hacked than any other network I touch. That's one reason I use vultr to host my lab stuff.)
