Microsoft wouldn't look at a bug report without a video. Researcher maliciously complied.

  The video is 15 minutes long and at the four-second mark flashes a screenshot from Zoolander, in which the protagonist unveils the “Center for Kids Who Can’t Read Good.”

  It also features a punchy techno backing track while wasting the reviewer’s time with approximately 14 minutes of inactivity.

    Should have had a single tone growing in volume and intensity

      The best would be to have recorded audio that slowly goes down in volume, with the tone at full blast at the end

    Should have been an AI generated voice narrating the issue showing the words on the screen with Minecraft gameplay as background.

    Idiocracy is now

  Using stupid programs, doing stupid bugreporting.

  Leave Microsoft alone. Let it rot with Tesla, Nintendo, 3dfx, NSDAP and other shitty organizations.

  The most likely explanation for requesting a video is to weed out low quality AI-generated “vulnerability” submissions that hallucinate code that doesn’t compile or APIs that don’t exist. In that context a 1 minute video showing that the report is viable is not much to ask for.

  Is there a video version of this article?

  Probably so they can have an AI Agent watch the video and do the thing or some bullshit

  You need to include videos of Subway surfers and Family Guy funny moments on the sides of the report, and a compilation of satisfying videos in the background
