[Archive.is] Sciuridae Hero on Twitter: “How are the X-PhishMe and X-PhishMeTracking headers not part of every mail filtering program out there?! Security Industry Idiocy.”
Kristian Köhntopp made me aware of these headers in [Archive.is] Kristian Köhntopp on Twitter: “Nach einer IRC Helpdesk Session: Macht Deine Firma sinnlose “Phishing Trainings”, in denen sie Mitarbeitern Fake-Nachrichten sendet um zu sehen, wer da was anklickt? Weil diese Firmen ihre Existenz rechtfertigen müssen, sind alle diese Nachrichten per X-Header trackbar.”.

Posted by jpluimers on 2022/05/26
Vista!
Shutting down or rebooting Windows allowing existing applications to reopen
Windows Vista introduced the /g switch in shutdown.exe and was unchanged in Windows 7:
/g Shutdown and restart the computer. After the system is rebooted, restart any registered applications.
I never noticed it until Windows 10 which began actively use it when applying system updates: then suddenly many of the previously running applications would reopen during startup.

The original scp/rcp protocol remains available via the -O flag.
