Lmao, remember when Microsoft wouldn't make a backdoor for the US government? https://mashable.com/archive/fbi-microsoft-bitlocker-backdoor
I wonder what favor the government traded for this. Or maybe what threats were made to Microsoft...
Gee Mr Gates, that's a nice monopoly you've got there. It sure would be a shame, if that anti-trust lawsuit the AG is researching were to happen to it...
Probably none; don't forget, the majority of Lose11 is vibecoded
You think they just offered a backdoor to the US government unprompted? They just changed their mind? I know technically there isn't evidence of it being for the government, but like... Come on. Something like this isn't a bug or AI hallucinating
