Abstract: There is disclosed in one example a computing apparatus, including: a processor and a memory; a network interface to communicatively couple to a backup client; a storage to receive backup data from the client, including a plurality of versions and an associated reputation for each version, the associated reputation to indicate a probability that the version is valid; and instructions encoded within the memory to instruct the processor to: receive from the backup client a request to store a new version of the backup data; determine that the client has exceeded a backup threshold; identify a backup version having a lowest reputation for validity; and expunge the backup version having the lowest reputation for validity.

Abstract: There is disclosed in one example a computing apparatus, including: a hardware platform including a processor and a memory; a contextual reputation store; and instructions encoded within the memory to provision a security agent configured to: create a user persona in the contextual reputation store based at least in part on the user's interaction with the computing apparatus; compute a persona-weighted reputation for an action and store the persona-weighted reputation action to the contextual reputation store; intercept a user action on the computing apparatus; determine a current user persona; determine from the contextual reputation store a persona-weighted reputation for the user action; and take a security action based at least in part on the persona-weighted reputation for the user action.

Abstract: There is disclosed in one example a computing apparatus, including: an interface to a backup source in a current state; a backup storage having stored thereon a first backup version of a previous state of the source; and a backup engine to: compute a delta between the current state and the previous state; save via the backup storage a second backup version sufficient to reconstruct the current state; and assign the second backup version a reputation relative to one or more previous backup versions.

Abstract: The invention is a receptacle for a three prong electrical plug which has either a tubular or U-shaped grounding prong. The inventive receptacle has a grounding prong socket which is sufficiently spacious to prevent the socket from significantly stretching when a larger, U-shaped grounding prong is inserted into the socket, and having two ridges to allow a snug fit when a smaller tubular shape grounding prong is inserted into the socket. The two ridges are made to prevent the socket from expanding when either the U-shaped grounding prong or the tubular grounding prong is inserted.
