Major OS upgrades with security fixes.
It is annoying that some companies (e.g., Apple's iOS) require major OS upgrades to get the security fixes. At the same time, you get new issues. I am curious about you guys, do you always get the newest OS upgrades to get their security fixes?Thank you in advance. :)

You can actually put an invalid password and still log into Facebook.
My friend acidentally put a typo into his Facebook password. I've tried it as well and you CAN log into your account. If you add extra sign to your password, it will still let you log. Example: my password is "Password". I try logging in using the password "Password1" – it allows you.

Is it as simple as ensuring port 16992 is blocked to see if AMT is disabled?
Been reading up more on this AMT thing given how serious it is to have a backdoor built into a cpu like this. Found that it seems to just listen on a port by sharing the NIC with the OS and it listens to a few ports such as 16992. If I do a port scan from a remote machine and find that it's closed, is that actually enough to find that it's not "working", or does it rely on some kind of secret port triggering to get it to open?Has anyone played deeper with this to find more details on how it works and what can be done to disable it?What about the 3G radio anyone know how that works? That is really the biggest threat as even if you have a non Intel based firewall and you are confident in your ethernet infrastructure then the 3G connection can bypass your firewall.Is this the thing of just ensuring that your hardware is not "compatible" with it, ex: does it rely on specific motherboards, and/or nics? Am I safer using some offbrand NIC in my firewall than an Intel one for example? If the 3G radio is not present (this is still a rumour at this point) then the most important box to protect would be the firewall as it is the one with an internet facing NIC.If the 3G radio really is present, could it be as simple as using a localized RF jammer near the firewall? It won't stop data from going out, but it will stop data from going in, to tell it to send data out... at least in theory? What I'm thinking is to build a faraday cage around my server room to the best of my ability - I won't really be able to get a perfect one, but then I could use a RF jammer inside, most of the jammer signal will hopefully stay contained so it won't affect anything outside. I imagine like 100mw would be more than enough. I would basically tune it until my cell works when I'm standing outside the room but does not work when I'm inside the room. Does this seem like a safe methodology?Having this backdoor wide open just scares the crap out of me and I really need to kill it.
