…or we’ll eat you!

The demo scene was always technically amazing

Mmsys.cpl is the only way for me

I’ll bet the NSA or others were using it and didn’t want it broken, maybe

Nice catch! Thanks for calming things down

This is a great summary I’m going to make use of

I was just trying to point out that you implied a file deletion is what’s causing this, and Linux wouldn’t crash. This fault is fixed by deleting a file, ironically

Have you read anything about this? A file deletion is the workaround for affected hosts, silly!

Good luck to them!

It’s funny that the sheer idea or frequency of the word is distasteful enough to build this.

Yeah, that’s our state-sanctioned duopoply at work!

(to be fair, I am willfully ignoring nuance and some mitigating factors)

Thanks, that brings done useful context here

I’ve been wondering about this a little, if the exposure is greater than just increased spam and phishing risk (due to PII info being breached).

If they’ve got hashed credit card details and the last 4 digits, could they fire guesses at the hashes (just like l0phtcrack for CCs instead of windows SAM databases)?

How much risk is there to people’s personal funds via their credit cards?

So, there’s this thing called Java…

Cracking insight - well done!

I don’t think we’ll get the post mortems you ate imagining.

Microsoft has typically been extremely vague - famously vague, even - about any details.

…with a brick. Repeatedly

But what will the burger flippers move to?

The great joke is they are making the same mistakes again with edge, unfortunately the American justice system is a shambles these days so it’s probably down to the EU to take the moral high ground.

Microsoft appear to be exposed to monopolistic penalties in several markets currently: browsers, AI / search, teams and office come to mind (although competitors are lacking, here)

Pics or it didn’t happen, etc…
