Given China's preponderance to mass surveillance and Huawei's obvious ties to the state, it's probably smart to take a critical look at anything they write. Willful ignorance and incompetence or cleverly crafted vuln with plausible deniability?
I guess, does it even matter at that point if you get ring-0 permissions? Probably shouldn't ever use their products regardless of the cause.
- blarpleBlarbz 8y agoHonestly, Microsoft's shitbird security track record for the past umpteen years is such a clusterfuck that it's impossible to consider them as doing anything other than deliberately shipping the leakiest possible operating system to as many Americans as possible, with express intent to open a general surveillance portal exposing every user to analytical scrutiny for decades on end. And with that, also a shrug, because yoooooooouuuuu asked for it! From 95 to 98 to NT to 2000 to XP to Vista, and on and on, and it only gets worse. But hey, woah! Now someone else is sticking their nose in front of America's magic mirror??? My goodness! Heavans to Betsy! If Microsoft hadn't been such utter garbage since nineteen ninety fucking five, interrupting my fucking life with unstoppable automatic updates "for security patches" every other week... patches that forbade me from unplugging a machine in my own home, lest summarily it brick itself, I might be inclined to raise an eyebrow at yet another vulnerability, but alas... That's not the years of Microsoft history I remember.
