According to Microsoft whistleblower Andrew Harris, Microsoft spent years ignoring a vulnerability while he proposed fixes to the "security nightmare." Instead, Microsoft feared it might lose its government contract by warning about the bug and allegedly downplayed the problem

This says everything about this shitty company. Worst of the worst. Because that’s how they make 90% of their cash. By exploiting licensing deals and siphoning data to sell to whomever because they do not care who it is so long as they bid the highest.

It’s amazing no one has tried to break up their control over PCs. Make this world make sense.

No, I don’t mind you asking at all!

Jellyfin. V1.9 is a huge leap forward.

I like krypton.sh

Even Denmark couldn’t handle the heat! Can you?!

I honestly never thought I’d see this day. It’s like announcing Linux just went closed source!

Oh boy. I'm fully convinced that people who recommend GIMP don't actually use the thing. It's a train wreck and it's had almost 30 years to be better.

I don't even like connecting to the net with pirated games. Always feel I'll get banned and I used game piracy to test drive them. If I like them, I just hit up Steam and support the dev. Always afraid I'll get banned from a game I really love.

Hi, I'm a publisher and I'm really sad reading some of these replies. Yes we turn a $5 textbook into $500. And yes we don't pay the authors anything. In fact, we routinely work together to make sure they can't even go anywhere else and get paid. Yes, we exploit laws and have lobbyists in every government to protect our interests.

But we are people too! We have feelings! And it hurts to read some of the replies that blame us for being greedy. We are, but it still hurts hearing it. Please do better internet!!

Depends what you play it through TBH. If a program has access to your memory, then yes. Naturally it's a nuanced answer and unless you are a security expert that knows exactly how memory is allocated and how elevated privileges work, not to mention all the little bugs, etc. in your system, then the answer is yes. You aren't really safe from anything that hits your hard drive.

Sounds less clickbaity, I see why they went with it’s the current title 🙃

It registers the hardware which is permanent and uses the same channels MS uses legitimately, so it cannot be revoked nor detected for that matter. So no, it cannot be “patched.” MS has to live with their ineptitude.
