It also sends the prompt to MS servers despite generating the image locally and automatically ‘analyzes’ it, probably for bad™ stuff.

Price per GB is at normalized 2007 levels. However that’s a useless metric as the amount of RAM required to run average computing tasks is much greater.

Sure a dumb phone won’t record for Google. Current ones don’t and probably can’t be made to.

But recording would be trivial to implement even on a dumb phone if it becomes acceptable to the majority. Hell it could become a legal requirement.

We cannot run away from these issues by using old phones, old vehicles, ‘physical’ media etc. Eventually they will be unavailable. Some, old vehicles, really should be for other reasons.

Or as others have pointed out, you might not be recorded by your phone but you will be by the others’.

We need to persuade more people to actively oppose such measures outright. Defend privacy, control of our devices etc explicitly.

Yeah if you think the guest support for the fs on the physical drive is relevant for a network share you wouldn’t be really useful.

We don’t need proof. There is no indication he knew Epstein or that he even is part of the class that could visit the island.

Obviously protecting children must always be a priority

No it really doesn’t have to always be. Protecting children should be balanced against harm to the rest of society. The vast majority of children will thankfully go on to live far more as non-children.

Yes the non racist viewpoint is that minorities should be assimilated aligned to a European culturr.

Where European means something Germanic with perhaps a splash of French. That will show white nationalism.

Our identities is more important than power.

Sure we need some power to protect them but it’s pointless to gain power by throwing them away.

Nope he is 100% a product of the United States of America and it’s ideology. East Germany, Russia, China have nothing to do with it.

Certainly they have not at all stopped misinforming people. There are also still elements that promote hatred.

Yeah but at least that organization has not ever instigated a war, right?

If you actually read his github you would know that there is a different version of the responsible component between the recovery environment and an installation. Only the RE has the issue.

I’ve read the XZ vulnerability. The very same thing can happen in a closed source corporate project. There are many arrests of foreign intelligence agents that worked in big tech amd/government. It would of course be easier to cover up. As would vulnerabilities discovered by ai, since they can limit who can check their code.

Were they the developers of the ssh package? Microsoft is the developer of the vulnerable bitlocker package and the ones who chose to ship it.

I am employed, most employers are obviously not as corrupt as the biggest corporations on the planet, they simply can’t afford to.

I agree we can’t know. We can know for FOSS software. You are treating uknownable as being less than the known bugs in Foss software. That’s dishonest, lad.

What are the indications that the BitLocker vulnerability is already being utilized?

Microsoft shipping a vulnerable version of the recovery environment. It is the ‘exploit’.

Alleged by a guy who was fired from Microsoft. I’d take that with a pinch of salt.

Such is the nature of closed source software. You select people who will remain complicit till they have a grievance against you. Even if they don’t and talked for moral reasons do you think they would not been fired for it?

That being said, open source repos are being attacked constantly with attempts at intentional malicious code injection - I’m sure you’ve heard of XZ Utils? How many others went through and are being exploited without anyone noticing?

Who knows. How many more went through at closed source software a limited amount of people can test in the same way?

They will be patched. There is also no indication that they 'be been known and exploited till recently.

This was allegedly deliberately non patched to be exploited.

Getting a system without bugs and security issues is impossible, you can at least avoid intentional compromise.

You mean my friend who was only ever in stationed in Texas?

There certainly exists Russian military personnel that did not serve outside Russia. I bet you would not consider them as innocent as your friend.

Yeah you sure are good at determining my ‘stupid games’, you really got me there buddy. At least I know what to tag you.

Tag me a Russian shillbot if it makes you feel better.

Let’s see, last time I checked Russia was releasing violent criminals to fight in Ukraine. You go ahead and find me a modern comparison from the U.S., I’ll wait.

I don’t have to play your stupid games. The vast majority of Russian soldiers are/were not convicts but either people who voluntarily joined their country’s army to make a living like your friend did or civilians who were drafted/conscripted. Most of them also did not kill or rape anyone like your friend. They probably would say they swept snow in a snowstorm instead.

Yet they still enable Russia’s attack on Ukraine. So did your friend with regards to USA’s attacks on Iraq, Afghanistan etc. Your friend is not better than them because he is your friend nor because he is American.

Easily proven true by endless apologia for US military members. When Russians do it, the are orc, when Americans do it, they were poor and needed healthcare.
