Forgot to add the line count of backdoors and stupid absurd shit like processing fonts on the kernel rather than userland so people can hack your 896 core machine and mine bitcoin.
- crumbshot 8y agoYour claim of backdoors is nonsense of course, but the kernel mode font handling was indeed a security risk. However on recent releases of Windows, they changed font parsing to run in a user mode sandbox: see the "Mitigating font exploits with AppContainer" section of https://cloudblogs.microsoft.com/microsoftsecure/2017/01/13/hardening-windows-10-with-zero-day-exploit-mitigations/ https://cloudblogs.microsoft.com/microsoftsecure/2017/01/13/...
- partycoder 8y agoRest assured that your Windows box is now invulnerable to any form of hacking thanks to the mighty Windows Defender [insert laugh track] By the way, font processing remains in the kernel.
- crumbshot 8y agoOkay then, I see you're not interested in any meaningful discussion on this topic.
