Because Microsoft isn’t responsible for every program that runs on their OS.
CrowdStrike is an EDR that enterprises choose to install. The bug was caused by a dodgy content bundle update, which is something that’s meant to be 100% safe but evidently they found and triggered a bug.
But, eventually exploitable is still a pretty major concern for anybody who has systems running longer than a few days at a time.
I think where valve went wrong was not requiring specific minimum specs. It led to a very inconsistent and hard to support platform.
Steam deck leading to a standard “steam device” hardware platform with consistent OS and hardware is my dream, but I know their goal thus far has been to refine steamos and release it for OEMs to use on their devices.
Massgrave is a tool that can create legit (oem) keys for windows and office out of thin air*
It’s not unheard of in folks who are in software dev because they love the repetition and routine. Farming is pretty similar to programming a computer, just with tons more manual labor.
Umami has been pretty good to me. Plausible was a close choice but I ran into technical difficulties getting it going.
I didn’t get around to trying it, but goatcounter looked promising as well.
Classicube for that simple block-building itch
It was more common for commercial discs and some consumer discs to have the data layer sandwiched between the bottom surface and label layer, especially later in cd/dvd’s heyday, to prevent tiny scratches on the label or sharpie marks from destroying bits in the data layer.
Cinavia! Allegedly it’s still around and mandated in all consumer Blu-ray players.
Plex has been good to me but I grow ever more concerned that they will drop lifetime Plex pass features as they become more focused on being a provider of media and not just a streaming middleman.
The lifecycle would continue. Xchat to ychat to hexchat to dodecahedronchat…
My gut feeling is that that is apples entire game plan with the Vision Pro- seed an expensive version of the tech, then refine it with what they learned into something leaner and significantly cheaper.
I could be wrong, but given the current price point that’s my guess.
I used Apollo and Relay extensively and not having those makes it so hard to even try for me.
Unless they are permanently only using specific addresses or blocks and will never change that up, I’d consider it a moving target.
A flatpak of the snap, running in a docker container inside a vm for maximum security.
Checking ip ownership is a moving target more likely to result in outcomes these sites don’t want (accidentally blocking google bots and preventing results from appearing on google).
Checking useragent is cheap, easier, unlikely to break (for this purpose, anyway) and the percentage of folks who know how to bypass this check is relatively slim, with a pretty small financial impact.
Looks like beeper got their stuff working again.
Can’t imagine this working out very well long term though
They’re trying to make steam think they’re actually running osrs so it tracks their playtime. Steam doesn’t track playtime of nonsteam games.
It’s feasible and has been used in various 0day exploits in the last few years. It’s getting significantly rarer nowadays but media player exploits leading to RCE has been a staple of malware distribution for a long while.
It’s just much easier to make a malicious word macro and hope the user isn’t careful than to research/identify an exploitable bug in a media player.
Lowe’s uses a customized Linux distro for their department terminal computers. Most of what you do is in browser or terminal applications, if genesis is still in use.
