  • yeah i know the risk, but the headline implies the data was exposed to a hacker who tried the password 123456 but thats not the case. A security researcher was investigating the application and accessed a test application with the password 123456 then found an API call which exposed the data and then he instantly reported it.

  • Wasnt it a security researcher and not a hacker?

  • Interesting.. I cant find any reliable info backing that up. Especially the second part claiming thats the reason the nazi's "turned on" the jews. I think you've been severely mislead by whoever told you that information. It sounds like something I'd hear from a Joe rogan guest.

  • I will try to justify the hatred. I have no issue with them asking for money for a service. My issue is them building and adertising it as a free service. For years they ran it at a loss bank rolled by unlimited google dollars. It was impossible to compete with a company that makes no money and has no intention of making money. Then once they have 99% market share they turn around and use that stranglehold to raise prices on users. Year by year the cost keeps going up, the ads get longer and more frequent. Because where else can users go?

    Its awful, I hate it and I cant support it.

  • Like all horrible male "beauty trends" it comes from looksmaxxing forums where it was a joke but the people were highly autistic and actually did it. The same thing happens when it gets to tiktok. A bunch of people post about it knowing its a joke and people who struggle to understand its a joke get sucked in.

    To "normal" people its like yeah obviously this is stupid, but to someone whos extremely socially inept they view it as a real path to looking like that. I've not met someone who has done this one exactly but ive met people who have done insanely destructive things because of what they saw on the internet.

  • Windows seemingly lost 400 million users in the past three years — official Microsoft statements show hints of a shrinking user base

  • The linux kernel has good support for server hardware like, drive controllers, network cards, etc but bad support for things like touchpad, bluetooth, fingerprint readers, cameras, nfc readers, wifi cards, power controllers.

    There are a small handful of laptop devices that have "full driver support" and these are still a 3rd party managing the linux drivers framework, system 76, lenovo. This is usually fixing issues as they arise instead of releasing fixes and patches before the disclosed issues go public. That makes them really hard to support in a secure environment.

    If there are majority of devices then give me one machine thats not a framework or system 76 laptop and we can look at the device drivers.

  • This is such a stupid argument I cant believe you're even trying to make the case. I'll pick a common enterprise device the HP zbook firefly. NXP NFC NPC300 Proximity Driver - Its had 5 OEM driver updates in the past 4 years on windows. Meanwhile the NXP linux_libnfc-nci repo which is NXP's OEM repo is wildly out of date and looks borderline dead. I checked the kernel tree and there are "common" patches under drivers/nfc/nxp-nci that include support for the NPC300 but these dont match up with the patches that are released for windows and dont seem to be specific fixes to address CVE issues.

    Lets go less specific and take a look at fwupd for the zbook https://fwupd.org/lvfs/hsireports/device?host_vendor=HP&host_family=103C_5336AN+HP+ZBook&host_product=HP+ZBook+Firefly+14+G7+Mobile+Workstation

    Here we can see the tests that fwupd has done to verify the device firmware. As you can see its missing a lot of functionality. This is a linux supported device apparently. If its missing this much I can only imagine how bad other devices are. Keep in mind this is only checking the working functionality and is not checking to see if the patches are up to date to protect against the latest CVEs. On windows HP has released 22 patches in the last 5 years with the latest patch containing fixes for 12 CVEs. Meanwhile on linux im not sure if HP has even released a single complete patch for this device let alone constant updates to fix the CVEs.

    I'm currently working on getting our device fleet in order for EU Gov contract compliance and a fleet of these devices would instantly disqualify us. I love linux but we have work to do and being ignorant to the issues doesnt help anything.

  • Please go on any distro fourm to the support section and tell me how many threads have hardware related issues. Majority of these are due to non-existent/unsupported drivers.

    One guy hacking together a device driver to upstream is not the same as the manufacturer supporting it with regular updates. Windows gets driver updates seemingly every week and linux is lucky to get a 2nd update or even a first.

  • It’s ironic that the only comment in this thread suggesting government action is your response.

    Because this thread has nothing to do with government? The topic is windows losing customers.

    The only thing Lemmy truly hates, is a nuanced opinion.

    I completely agree. People here are outliers in ideas and passion. But upvotes and downvotes mean nothing here so its fine.
