Will still be working on the same problem a century from now.
- Comment on There is no fix for Intel’s crashing 13th and 14th Gen CPUs — any damage is permanent 10 hours ago:
Intel has not halted sales or clawed back any inventory. It will not do a recall, period.
Buy AMD. Got it!

They won’t, since Intel has quietly admitted now that there is an oxidization issue too.

And with deepfakes they could make the video call look like the person in the fake photo they sent.
- Comment on Security Firm Discovers Remote Worker Is Really a North Korean Hacker 3 days ago:
Maybe they lied in the call and said they weren’t a North Korean hacker. That would be the kind of devious thing a hacker might do.

- Comment on Let's blame the dev who pressed "Deploy" 4 days ago:
If the company makes it possible for an individual developer to do this, it’s the company’s fault.
- Comment on Let's blame the dev who pressed "Deploy" 4 days ago:
Reminds me of Microsoft’s response when one of their employees kept trying to get them to fix the vulnerability that ultimately led to the Solar Winds hack.
- Comment on Why is Google takeout so bitchy? 5 days ago:
Google takeout is there so they are technically compliant with rules that say you must be able to download your personal data, but they make it so inconvenient to use that practically it’s almost impossible to download it. Google photos isn’t a backup service so much as a way for Google to hold your photos hostage until you start paying for higher amounts of storage.
- Comment on Long COVID puzzle pieces are falling into place – and the picture is unsettling 6 days ago:
Seems you were right. They went silent about their curiosity for data as soon as people gave them all the data they needed.
- Comment on Windows 3.1 saves the day during CrowdStrike outage — Southwest Airlines scrapes by with archaic OS 6 days ago:
One X user suggested that the company switch to Windows XP—it’s also no longer updated, and it can run Windows 3.1 applications via compatibility mode.
Maybe that was a joke, but if anything that would reduce their security. Windows 3.1 and 95 are old enough that they can’t even run most stuff from the last two and a half decades, which probably protects them. XP is just new enough, and plenty old enough, to be very risky.

What do you think of the various studies showing that vaccination reduces the risk of long COVID?

Why?
- Comment on CrowdStrike downtime apparently caused by update that replaced a file with 42kb of zeroes 6 days ago:
That one turns out to have been largely Microsoft’s fault for repeatedly ignoring warnings of a severe vulnerability relating to Active Directory. Microsoft were warned about it, acknowledged it and ignored it for years until it got used in the Solar Winds hack.

- Comment on CrowdStrike downtime apparently caused by update that replaced a file with 42kb of zeroes 1 week ago:
The CEO made a statement to the effect of “It’s not an attack, it’s just me and my company being shockingly incompetent.” He didn’t use exactly those words but that was the gist.

That comes from the description in the page’s HTML. Maybe their server uses an Intel processor.

- Comment on Qualcomm spends millions on marketing as it is found better battery life, not AI features, is driving Copilot+ PC sales 2 weeks ago:
The Copilot in Windows and in Bing is quite bad, but the Github Copilot seems a little better to me. If you know of a clearly better one for programming I’m interested in trying things out.
- Comment on Qualcomm spends millions on marketing as it is found better battery life, not AI features, is driving Copilot+ PC sales 2 weeks ago:
Microsoft does have a history of making nominally opt-in features practically very difficult to avoid, though.
