You just sound stuck up when you say that. Like “is windows still a thing? I didn’t know because I use Linux. Don’t you?”
Of course Google is still a thing, by far it’s still the largest search engine in use on the planet, so most people won’t notice it. If anything, this hurts all the not-Google users. Can you imagine if different sites started signing exclusivity deals with different search engines?
Excuse me, but Scatman John would like a word with you, from 1994 to be exact.
An yes the old “the village elders must be right! Look how old they are” angle.
What the name of this air guitar band?
Well at least people will be used to seeing that after CrowdStrike.
You’re talking about the IDS/IPS problem. For it not to impact the kernel it would need to be a passive, read only system. But if you need it to be active to actively prevent threats it needs to have the same level of access a threat actor could gain. You can’t move everything to user space without a shit load of signing and things like TPM and SecureBoot which people have been decrying for years as “vendor lock in”. So at some point a level of trust or risk must be accepted.
It wasn’t the whole world. Our business went on just fine without any issues and we were running Windows too. And the thing about that is you have a lot of people pushing for a homogeneous culture on Linux, not realizing that 1) crowdstrike was crashing Linux systems a couple months ago and 2) if it were to become the dominant system we could see things happen that way too.
So I’m kinda curious, what would you suggest?
I really wonder how much large scale energy production we’d need if every building was required to have solar. I know we’d need some energy storage tech such as batteries but I’m focusing more on the generation part.
I asked this earlier, but do we have any idea if this was gross incompetence, gross cowardice, or they wanted it to happen? How do you note that the gunman is on the roof for 20 minutes, have another officer from local PD back down when he has a gun pointed at him and still they do nothing
This is the same group that said covid would go away if we stopped measuring it
I didn’t say it was, nor did I say UEFI was the problem. My point was additional applications or extensions at the UEFI layer increase the attack footprint of a system. Just like vPro, you’re giving hackers a method that can compromise a system below the OS. And add that in to laptops and computers that get plugged in random places before VPNs and other security software is loaded and you have a nice recipe for hidden spyware and such.
I really hate the conflagration between AI and LLMs. We’re seeing a polishing of LLMs and they’re great for mimicking language, but they don’t “know” what they’re saying. We’re still quite a ways off from GenAI and have just started working on more specialized AI. But without some massive leaps in understanding logic and filtering out garbage it’s gonna be a while.
