Moderators mta Posted November 23, 2014 Moderators Share Posted November 23, 2014 for devices that use a PC USB port for recharging, there is no reason for that port to need all 4 pins. those sort of devices should only have the outer power+ and the power- as they don't need the inner data+ or data- pins. that way there would be no possibility of malware transfer.

The CCleaner SLIM version is always released a bit after any new version; when it is it will be HERE :-) Pssssst: ... It isn't really a cloud. Its a bunch of big, giant servers.

Corona Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Using a USB port to charge an e-cig takes 10 times longer than a traditional wall electrical outlet. I don't think smokers are that patient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

login123 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 MMMuuuaaaahhhaaahhaa. Didn't know if anybody would get it or not, not my best work, spur of the moment, ya know. But seriously, folks . . . I find it very disturbing that an automobile hurtling down the highway at 70 MPH might be hackable.
