No man! Think of the future shareholders!! 😢

I really want to see this sub! I think this could be something that could encompass videos like vines or tiktoks

I agree with all of your statements there, the FOMO and lock-in effect has what has lead to such a dependence.

Not to mention IT staff are heavily geared to supporting Microsoft products and eco systems. Not saying most IT professionals can’t pivot but when the whole industry is Microsoft focused then you’re at a disadvantage if you’re not up to speed.

I think its fair to be concerned.

Microsoft offers the operating system for endpoints and a good number of servers

They offer the office suite which I’m sure over 90% of companies use

They offer file sharing solutions such as OneDrive and SharePoint which integrate natively with the office suite offering

They offer the critical business services for creating accounts, managing devices, deploying software and updates, many of these features integrate natively with the operating system

They offer security services, which again, integrate natively with the operating system.

Its not impossible to find solutions to all of these, but finding reasonable alternatives that only work a fraction as good as some of the native features Microsoft offers, it’s understandable that there becomes a dependence on just sticking with the Microsoft option.

Idk, I went on there earlier and watched some of the live interactions, there does seem to be a large amount of English speaking people who are messaging the live creators and the creators are responding in their best possible English.

It’s actually quite nice to see two different cultures coming together.

But I’m sure that if they wall off the rest of China to the US users the app will lose its shine and people will move on somewhere else.

I moved to using cast iron and steel pans, I found even hand washing non-stick pans they eventually just get scuffed up after years.

I’d rather just use a few more drops of oil on a regular pan.

Pastor? I hardly know er! 😏

100% men have denied men from having cute outfits for too long! Be the change you want to see in the world

I haven’t had a gaming system.in over 10 years and I was so glad I got the steam deck. It just worked out of the box, no messing around having to set anything up or play around with settings.

I bought a few games, downloaded them and everything has been seamless. Its been the most worthwhile purchase I’ve made in quite some time.

Omg let me try!! ********

I’ve been using Pop for years, I just feel like its always worked so well for me and never given me any major gripes. Web browsing, playing a few basic games, editing documents and even recently setting up another home server with it for media streaming with Jellyfin.

I’m a big advocate for any OS which works well out the box and is mostly hands off once configured!

If PopOS isn’t your thing you’ll find it eventually 🙂

This will almost certainly be a false positive, its a heuristics(I think that’s the correct term) based detection, basically just matches certain characteristics of files that have been related to that trojan.

These days Defender has exceptional real time malware scanning capabilities, it often picks up stuff as you download it or even as it executes. If this was a detection of an existing file, its very likely a false positive.

Was this taken from the Crowdstrike repo?

Was this something called ceefax or teletext? I vaguely remember hearing of someone using it to book a holiday when I was growing up

So true, this really highlights the risk of updates impacting critical systems vs critical systems being exposed to critical vulnerabilities. Its a real balancing act.

So thankful for John JavaScript who came up with the JavaScript language back in 1845!

I’m trying to learn rust and so far this has definitely made it so much more accessible.

Not to mention their super useful “rustlings” training which has these nice little challenges to get you used to language and syntax

I remember learning about this in the early 00’s but then the textbooks were saying about this newer memory technology which the world has moved to known as DDR! Makes me feel so old now 👵

You wanna talk Chinese spyware, why are they not outright banning Temu? That’s a much better documented case of actually being spyware.

In terms of Tiktok being spyware, they are tracking users in much the same ways that every other big social media company is. Should other nations be worried about Facebook sharing that data with the US govt to produce psyops campaigns against foreign nations?

I’m against any country blocking access to things in the name of “national security” and providing little to no evidence on it. Its been done too many times to trojan horse in other malicious activities that governments want to do.
