Not surprising when you compare some leaked NT code and some ReactOS code. I'm not even saying they straight copied the source btw, but some consider that disassembling as a reference is fine (and using MS symbols...). Well it might ev

I still find NT very fast when using through RDP, especially compared with any FLOSS solution that exist in the GNU/Linux world. I've not tried proprietary graphic remoting solution for GNU/Linux systems though.

NT has no notion of pipes that send structured objects, but it does have Unix-like pipes. Maybe you are thinking about Powershell. Powershell is interesting (although in practice I find it not very practical to use), but is quite another

This is ignoring security in depth, weaknesses, and security architecture. When ignoring that, you can not pretend, and MS did pretend, that you had a good enough stance on security. Fixing discovered vulns alone is mandated, it gives you m

The doc is huge, and the principle of least astonishment is often not respected. Also third parties providers support a random subset of it given the protocol has nothing simple anymore (or maybe never had)

Instead of closing the connection it sends a message stating that it is closed? Wow.

and which also according to the command docs i read recently add random limitations to maybe half of the S3 API I'm not sure reusing (parts of) the protocol was a good idea given unrelated half of it was already legacy and discouraged

I thought Microsoft requires UEFI + secure boot for Windows, and with no disabling option in the firmware setup, for Windows Arm PC? Or maybe it was "only" Microsoft Secure Boot and you can actually use a Linux distro? If this is

Fix the apps. Nobody expect magical perf if you do that when writing to files, even though the OS also has its own buffers. There is no reason to expect otherwise when writing to a socket and actually nagle already doesn't save you fro

Sharing with friend and family is not "serious theft". It is benevolent and what people do with books and DVD, without industry people becoming insane about.

There are actually ideas using crypto to provide proof of properties without a trusted entity having to know what the proof will be used for, and without the requester of the proof being able to learn more about the identity. E.g. (in frenc

Because they want to develop their own idependent ecosystem? Similarly, why does Amazon Fire OS exists? I mean the question is kind of vaguely legitimate, but regardeless of how it is implemented one could ask why it is not an Android app

Kind of for a very long while. You then had a descendant SFU from some SP of NT4 to XP / Server 2003, then a further one SUA until Windows 8 / Server 2012. With some code flowing between various companies. I think SFU still used t

You could say all of that of other things e.g. the MDR, where the end result in practice is complete crap. The system of "notified bodies" is commercial bureaucracy with random efficiency. If an agency wants to audit me, just dot

To be clear "related consultancy or hosting business" is still commercial. The notion of "accepting donations without the intention of making a profit" seems insane, too.

Advising ReFS is a little bit insane though. I would certainly not entrust it for my data either.

You don't model an unconstrained "int Mid = high + low / 2;" line of e.g. C code with the math equation "Mid = high + low / 2". There are limits but this is a poor example.

by temac 3y ago
IIRC it was added on Pentium and maybe late 486. You had to do classic tricks to identify the model before that.

That's very not a reason to justify the critical shortcomings of a standard, especially so when implementations are known to make their practical safeties regress in the name of they are allowed by the letter. In that context the very
