What were the useful scenarios, if you don’t mind?

Sorry, I was must continuing the joke.

I’m not judging, I know the pain

Nah, it’s not a programming language.

It’s a tool for degenerates (said the kid who grew up rotting his brain with vbscript)

Psychopaths!

Just watched this on QI. S16E08, plants. It’s about 11 minutes in…

Good times!

Photoshop - it would be a great name for this cat

That’s some bob cringely like dissection - love it!

Back when they had consistent style guidelines to follow (I remember reading them, along with deep descriptions of how PnP actually works - yuck!).

Now they just throw shit at the wall it seems

That’s pretty much it: a public distraction while they privately murder.

Extremism is a cancer. Until the extremists are maligned I can’t see anything meaningful happening. Fortunately there are some signs that people are sick of the status quo

Honestly this sounds like a good idea but a flawed implementation

Touché

Good point - it guess it could have easily fallen out while being edited, too

The start(-up?)[sic] generates up to $2 billion annually from ChatGPT and an additional $ 1 billion from LLM access fees, translating to an approximate total revenue of between $3.5 billion and $4.5 billion annually.

I hope their reporting is better then their math…

Yeah, there’s some limits to what they could do while maintaining pace for the 0 day stuff…

Some input validations would be the most basic things they should have done years ago. I’m aware of the hashing mature vendors do of any content they download for updates or deployments. Signature checking as well, and that’s before the code is even inspected - why don’t they include their automated tests they obviously aren’t using in the update as a sanity check client-side? (I’m not aware of anyone doing this or even if it’s possible without the rest of the IDE, stack, I’m no dev)

…sorta. The complexity here is their driver is signed, but it’s also loading code from their channel file (that was all zeroed out), and it seems the necessary error checking wasn’t implemented.

I haven’t yet got to the root cause they published, this is just what I gathered from the video of a retired MS kernel dev who posts stuff.

Obviously with their design it allowed them to be flexible at the cost of playing with fire - I’m impressed they got away with it for so long, really

Yeah, let’s not key them get away with it. Clownstrike forever on

This is a perfect use of the template

go workers!
