Having to recompile and reflash your wristwatch is probably going to limit the number of things you use TOTP for.

To be fair, there isn't a whole lot of code there. I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft had the WinPE generator written already for some other project.

The issue was caused by a data file, Microsoft is not involved in signing or testing individual data files.

I think the file with all zeros was the fix that CS pushed out after they learned of their mistake.

It's not a service, it's a driver. "Anti"malware drivers typically run with a lot of permissions to allow spying on all processes. Driver failures likely mean the kernel state is borked as well, so Windows errs on the si

I doubt CrowdStrike had done any testing of the update.

It's possible that the "hacking" involved extracting data from some binary files making up a mobile or PC game. This isn't as trivial as incrementing an ID, but still should not constitute hacking.

Detecting system crashes would be hard. You could try logging and comparing timestamps on agent startups and see if the difference is 5 minutes or less. Buggy kernel drivers crash Windows hard and fast.

Auto-updates of “content” (what it thinks is malware) are mandatory and bypass the option to delay updates: https://twitter.com/patrickwardle/status/1814367918425079934

All antivirus software is indistinguishable from malware.

It's not Microsoft's fault someone installed third-party spyware/malware on their systems.

If the product was truly revolutionary, users wouldn't mind opening an app to talk to it.

It is trivial to verify Meta is doing this. If you go to Facebook or Instagram and look at the network traffic, you might find requests to /api/graphql, with a lot of weird values in the request payload, but no GraphQL query text

Where's the "crying" part? The GraphQL schema designed in this article is very trivial, nothing beyond a "hello world" level. There are no advantages to using GraphQL here, and many well-known disadvantages of using

> Visual Studio Code, Windows Terminal and WSL are hot garbage This is your opinion. I like all three.

The kernel version number stopped having any meaning in 2000.

If so many developers manage to get stuff done on Windows, students can do it, too. This post feels like it's 10 years old, when there was no Visual Studio Code, Windows Terminal, or WSL.

If Firefox delivers a feature the AdTech industry would be OK with, then Chrome can adopt it and kill third-party cookies. Firefox already can block such cookies, but some legitimate sites may break (but developers don't care about Fir

American businesses, especially in predatory industries like adtech, complain all the time.

It is an attempt to replace more invasive tracking techniques. The AdTech industry is unlikely to give up on knowing which ads were "successful". A privacy-friendly solution developed by Firefox is miles better than something inve

Some SaaS providers will let you choose your cloud and set up their services there. As for the latency, it might not matter for all applications, or it may encourage the devs to spend more time optimizing the number of SQL queries.

I would consider both of those flaws of Rye, not Poetry. Python package managers not written in Python will by definition have less contributors, and to me, they make Python look like a toy language (you can't write a package manager,

A hacker can perform a SIM swap attack, where they convince the operator using bribes and/or fake IDs to provide a replacement SIM card for your number.

All the big email services in Poland (WP, Onet, Interia, O2, ...) were always crap riddled with ads. I don't know why people still stick with it instead of migrating to something like Gmail.

Eh, I find PowerShell nicer than bash. And having a way to use .NET/COM stuff ad-hoc can be useful in scripts. For example, to talk to Windows Installer with reasonable performance over COM. Or to launch the best browser: (New-Ob

PowerShell isn't quite a .NET language, and you can't really write serious .NET software in PowerShell. But if you need to access the power of .NET (or heck, COM) from a script or an interactive shell, PowerShell lets you do that.

PowerShell is more verbose than Bash, and has its idiosyncrasies (like sometimes automatically unwrapping 0/1-element arrays into scalars when you least expect it), but it is more productive and more readable. Object-orientation can be
