An SBOM-like approach to EOL/EOS issues is on the way.

What's worse for me is that the Check Point Harmony does notnutilize the interfaces of Defender crafted for this purpose, but write a knowledge base article to tell the users to disable the Defender themselves.

I haven't use them, so please bear my illiteracy around these. Does this mean, it actually creates a local session, not a remote and headless session to serve? If that's the case, it feels like it's just TeamViewer or Remote

In finance, these are called systemic risks. Some nodes in the overall network of financial institutions that can trigger cascading failures, hence affecting the whole system.

It's mentioned in a comment here that the existing restrictions are due to Windows APIs and NTFS does not check file names in a restricted way. Therefore, if devs want to filter these out or not in the API, is another story.

I f I remember correctly, I tried that but in order to cover the exact range I need, the high and low surrogates, I picked this way out of practicality. It was just easier.

Oh, great. Can you also share the locale? I'll write another Postscriptum section then.

WSL-to-Windows, yes, it is due to translations. But within the WSL, not sure. I'll try to replicate them on a Ubuntu VM for comparison.

Hi all. OP here. I added a Postscriptum about the surrogte pairs and their status in Linux. I used WSL to access those files under Windows, and generated the same on Linux. You can see that behavior differs on the same file names: 1. On Win

This I did not know. I know that ZFS has "utf8only" option, but not sure about others.

Totally. These are design choices made by development teams. But as users, we "assume" all are readable until one day we learn that it does not work that way. Until I came across this issue, I assumed them to be all valid, rendera

I see two points here. First, you did not read the article and did not see the footnote that these are valid in Linux as well. Second, your comment shows you are lacking the knowledge on Linux as well. In Linux, as I have written in the foo

Yep. The quirk here is that the surrogates, that are merely enablers for other characters, can be paired with each other. With the absence of other valid characters, they are not enabling anything. One assumes there is a validation but it d

I am not 100% sure but mmc.exe has not been updated for years and it must be relying on WebBrowser control of Internet Explorer. Yes, IE is still alive in Windows. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions&#x2

There is some confusion in that comment. - PCI DSS 4.0 is already in place and to be retired on December 31, 2024. PCI DSS 4.0.1 is the replacement and I place already. - PCI DSS 4.0.1 and game tokens have nothing in common. The applicabili

It continued as 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3 for Windows 7, 8, and 8.1. But the NT kernel revamped for Windows 10. And they aligned the version numbers at that point. Windows 10 and 11 are both NT 10. The kernel has many differences within 6.x let alon

I discovered this myself when I attended a data science summer school, a 2-day bootcamp. I knew Python and Jupyter. I know basics of Operations Research, though I barely passed the class back in time. I took classes on optimization classes

BTW, PRQL is mentioned in the article as well. In sum, they decided that instead of a new language against SQL, extending SQL with pipes would be better for user experience, learning curve, etc.

That handles the time "now". Assume within 3 years, a country changed timezones 2 times. If you rely on TZDB, you can never be sure "What happened on May <year> 16.00?". It happened in Turkey and it was a bad time

So many times people forget that encryption does not solve the confidentiality problems. It just translates it into key management problems. And this is such an amazing example I'd use in the future.
