No, the userspace program will replace it with a good version.

Their stock price will suffer but they can waive license fees for a year or so for every endpoint affected (~$50). They better pin this on a rogue employee, but even then, force pushing updates shouldn't be in their capability at all!

Yes, it offers very real protection. Crowdstrike in particular is the best in the market, speaking from experience and having worked with their competitor's products as well and responded to real world compromises.

So long as those people are adults who are functional (can care for themselves), it isn't society's business to protect them from self-harm. Your sensible checks are violations of liberty. A person's right and authority over

More cores and memory channels+bandwidth would have been nice.

If we aren't regulated then anti-drug laws shouldn't exist. A government made up of it's people cannot regulate it's people by virtue of having a superior self control or wisdom. How can there be liberty without this?

Those are private properties or privileged activities. Eating poison, in your private home being regulated means your home is not truly yours and you have no liberty.

So we are properties regulated by the state, even though the state is made up of laypersons?

Some free society we live in. The feds are just looking out for their real employers: the oligarchs and their companies.

If they stuck to binary libraries that would have been nice but since you have to build deps locally and match up the right versions, go and rust programs have been a constant headache for me similar to python. The version from debian repos

While I still do run into 2.7 code, even for 3 dependencies are the problem. You always use a library of some kind and that library could use a new python feature. You could pin it but then other scripts that need the new version break. An

Not if you use any libraries. The whole venv/pyenv/pipx stuff of python needs to implemented for other languages too. Every program needing it's own virtual environment and tooling for every build.

C is enjoyable to write with although if others rely on your code, safety should have a higher priority. The one thing I could never enjoy in C after getting used to languages like php and python is string handling. It isn't just dange

There doesn't have to be anything new. You don't have to participate or gatekeep anyone from participating on a continued discussion.

People look at this and think "dumb politicians" but that's not the right conclusion. The security teams responsible for protecting them are to blame, yes, even for poor password choices and drarkweb leaks.

It's a paid product. Who wants to pay to read AI content? If you're monetizing on ads this would make sense but if I pay for WaPo it is because of the reputation it has thanks to human investigative journalists.

It still doesn't measure up to xp's rolling hills or just about any macos default wallpaper. Nature is really pretty and hard to compete against. Small things like this say a lot about the overall product design philosophy in my o

The python project itself lets you download embeddable python, you don't need to get it from random sources. It works great, you can install all your pip packages, zip it backup and it just works.

Is a real dumb phone even possible? Not having apps and a touch screen doesn't make it dumb. Look at kai os for example or even symbian had apps just not nice appstores and nicer features. You still have arm cpus and running an os and

For one, less people know rust. Also, having to port your c modules.

If all you have is a Rusty hammer, everything is a nail. Third party module dev is harder now for yara-x. And I wonder how the python module will turn out. Neither 3rd party/go clients nor the official virustotal C client could meet my

Why isn't content addressable inodes a thing? Address them by hash instead of id and avoid creating duplicate inodes. So for example, two 1TB files containing all zeroes will take up one inode worth of disk space but the fs table reco

I ask the opposite, why are people accepting credit as a normal way of life? Debt means you are a slave to the creditor. How can you walk around owing money and that's normal to you? Surely you get that the rewards and protections are

Counterpoint: very tiree and exhausted are two different levels of weariness. Exhausted means you've reached capacity. Very tired means you are tired much but not yet exhausted. You reduced specificity for the sake of conformity.

"Few word" is quantity, this is a quality question. If you are writing to sound eloquent and for the joy of writing then you are not who I am talking about. For most people, especially in a work setting, communication is the goal,
