Imagine I've installed CrowdStrike under the assumption that it makes my system more secure. Why would I want the OS to allow the system to boot up in a less secure state by providing a prompt for that? Most users will just click which

But the blame wasn't misplaced before. People keep saying that macOS does things better by forcing third parties out of the kernel and instead offering APIs to do the same work in userspace. Microsoft tried to do exactly this for secur

Also anyone who's plugged in a Razer product has seen the driver download mechanism in action. Razer drivers include the installer for their Synapse software so you get the installer prompt when plugging one in. As annoying as I think

I love the feeling of finding the beauty of how a puzzle resolves. The hand set puzzles are as much a challenge to player as they are a demonstration of the setter's own skill and cleverness.

And while it is being used now to simply reference the article, RTFA was originally used in the same way as RTFM. A way of expressing frustration to a commenter who should have read the fucking article first.

Updates do get tested. Windows updates can be held and selectively rolled out when a company is ready. As far as I can tell though, CrowdStrike doesn't give companies the agency to decide if updates should be applied or not.

I also didn't know and I definitely don't like how it underplays the capabilities of the tracking.

This is very true. Line merges do not always work well. There used to be a tool called SemanticMerge which was able to handle merging code cleanly even when the code had been refactored. It saved me quite a bit of work a handful of times (b

If the data was always encrypted, then simply discarding the keys effectively means the drive is left filled with random data. Also, NVMe drives can be sent the sanitize command which can erase/overwrite the data across the entire phys

Feels to me like that was a deficiency in the package management tools. Like if your requirements file could define a global alias, it would allow people who want that easy one-line change to install pillow as PIL. But everyone else who was

I have to look up PIL every time I use it to remember if I install PIL and import pillow or install pillow and import PIL. Imports can be aliased, so why allow this mismatch at all? PyPI should have enforced that each package contains one t

ST4 is my go-to for quickly viewing and editing individual files. It really is instant compared to VSC. I don't really run ST with any complex plugins though and leave cases where I want those for VSC. The ones I have installed right n

Thanks for giving me a specific example. At this point in the evolution of web standards and their implementations, that kind of UA check is stupid enough that I can believe there is at least some level of intent to not also making assumpti

Because it's an extra expense to support it with basically no value. The reason to give a TV a network connection would be to use the applications built into the TV... ones that you don't need if you're using an Apple TV. And

That's so weird. Normally I don't want my OS changing what is booted into on a whim, but going back into the same OS for cases like these just seems like sane behavior to me.

What a bullshit quote. Ukraine didn't join NATO and Russia took Crimea anyway. And now they're attempting to take Ukraine. Russia is only afraid of NATO because they know it will stop them from taking the territory that they want.

They probably mean that it didn't conflict with other common executables. I guess it could be a problem if libuv ever includes an executable called uv, though I can't imagine how it would make sense for libuv to have an executable

I have to imagine this comes down to how they provide the Internet connection. Over land they can use cell towers. Over sea they're forced to use satellites.

I like that UEFI means I don't have to worry about bootloaders clobbering each other when multiple operating systems are installed on the same drive. They can all register into UEFI, rather than competing for the MBR.

Does Windows not ensure that the UEFI boots back into Windows when it does an auto-reboot for updates? There's a UEFI variable called BootNext which Windows already knows how to use since the advanced startup options must be setting it

That's easier if you don't know the keybinds, but the faster way is using the Option key to type the accented letter in 2 parts. You first press Option along with one of: `, e, u, i, n. And then just press the letter you want to a

I thought this post might be a joke because it claimed that it was saving verbosity here! ?? is also the null coalescing operator in C#. Not only is it nice and short, but since it's an infix operator it chains in a much cleaner way th

I've seen people reference CDNs for internal sites. I hate that because it is not only a security risk but it also means we depend on the CDN being reachable for the internal site to work. It's especially annoying because the proj
