Thankyou!

Gosh randall is always on point, though. Either a complete psycho or a savant of the human perspective (laziness, i guess? It seems like most of his stuff is mocking the lazy process fails in science, bureaucracy or people interactions)

No shit…

Yeah, that really narrows it down, doesn’t it?

Point is, I don’t think these guys have much of a plan in themselves. Sure, the party cooked up project 2025, but the ‘leaders’ sure are being led here and don’t seem to have much grasp of things

Maybe thats naïve

I finally got to the end of the article where they hang this tidbit:

President-elect Donald Trump said this month that he will elevate Commissioner Andrew Ferguson, a Republican attorney, to lead the agency. Following the announcement, Ferguson, “At the FTC, we will end Big Tech’s vendetta against competition and free speech. We will make sure that America is the world’s technological leader and the best place for innovators to bring new ideas to life.”

Trump also said he would nominate Republican lawyer Mark Meador as a commissioner, describing him as an “antitrust enforcer” who previously worked at the FTC and the Justice Department. Meador is also a former aide to Sen. Mike Lee, a Utah Republican who introduced legislation to break up Google.

This is great and all but would the new government actually do anything despite the best efforts of the agencies??

I doubt these crooks would support it at all!

I take it you had to flash the particular rom to install docker (it would work natively on android?)

At first I thought you were insane but I’m slowly coming around to the idea.

Too bad the screen breaking is usually why mine get replaced

She does sound like she started off completely naïve

I see so much negative press about pretty much anything China does, this is quite exciting (to be fair, they do a lot of concerning stuff!)

Well, of course they are, but so is just about everything

Great thumbnail!

Dunno (or care!) about the rest of it. Kinda strange content for the technology community…

Holy crap - get to the point!

This is a great idea at first glance - I’ve certainly had a few usb sticks come apart on removal

That’s some bob cringely like dissection - love it!

Softbrick vs hardbrick?

Good point - it guess it could have easily fallen out while being edited, too

The start(-up?)[sic] generates up to $2 billion annually from ChatGPT and an additional $ 1 billion from LLM access fees, translating to an approximate total revenue of between $3.5 billion and $4.5 billion annually.

I hope their reporting is better then their math…

Yeah, there’s some limits to what they could do while maintaining pace for the 0 day stuff…

Some input validations would be the most basic things they should have done years ago. I’m aware of the hashing mature vendors do of any content they download for updates or deployments. Signature checking as well, and that’s before the code is even inspected - why don’t they include their automated tests they obviously aren’t using in the update as a sanity check client-side? (I’m not aware of anyone doing this or even if it’s possible without the rest of the IDE, stack, I’m no dev)

…sorta. The complexity here is their driver is signed, but it’s also loading code from their channel file (that was all zeroed out), and it seems the necessary error checking wasn’t implemented.

I haven’t yet got to the root cause they published, this is just what I gathered from the video of a retired MS kernel dev who posts stuff.

Obviously with their design it allowed them to be flexible at the cost of playing with fire - I’m impressed they got away with it for so long, really

Wow, that’s some amazing stuff! Really looking forward to more of this globally…
