In O’Reilly’s Clawdbot research, he identified hundreds of exposed control panels reachable over the public internet, some lacking any authentication. These interfaces provided access to full conversation histories, API keys, OAuth tokens, and command execution features across services including Slack, Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp, and Signal. In several instances, Signal device-pairing data was stored in plaintext, enabling attackers to take over accounts remotely.

Sounds like people can set it up on their own in any OS, but I admit that I didn’t exactly understand what that control panels are

Wow, they took the joke much further than πthon

What is it that you’re trying to do then?

I guess that meant they blocked you

I read it like that comment have been directed at the article, implying ‘know your rights’ to be ‘…and do not resist’

When you log into Windows with a Microsoft account, your recovery key is often automatically uploaded to Microsoft’s servers as a backup in case you forget your password. Legally, this means Microsoft owns the key and must surrender it under the U.S. CLOUD Act.

Experts like Matt Green of Johns Hopkins University warn that, unlike Apple or Google, Microsoft does not encrypt these keys in a way that makes them unreadable even to the company itself. The result is a fundamental breach of data sovereignty

From the link:

Here, the Ubuntu developers roll out in-house universe security patches (additional backports of new patches against historical versions of the packages), which was previously not available

I’m not sure every package should be considered supported in LTS, so this not being available by default looks ok for me

The Discombobulator. I’m not allowed to talk about it

Then why do you fucking do? He’s so dense, I can’t even

Ah, yeah, there was, that’s not how most of the time went, though

I don’t know, we need a medievalist here

Yeah, I thought life was hard but sustainable mostly, turns out one was always at risk of extinction:

Medieval villagers were often living on the edge of subsistence. Agricultural surpluses were skimmed by the church and the feudal lords. Bad harvests, banditry, warfare and disease might decimate a village community at any time. For this very reason, the demography of many European villages remained relatively stable between the twelfth and the eighteenth century.

Yeah, when the same API endpoint sometimes return a string for an error, sometimes an object, and sometimes an array, JSON doesn’t help much in parsing the mess

Yeah, I eventually found a Wikipedia page about Amazon Game Studios, they still exist and make games, and it looks like they only make mediocre stuff even when they have chances to make something interesting (like King of Meat, that seems to be a well received game, but has awful name, is too pricey, and is almost unknown, making the online too small)

No, not for pointing out

Yeah, I had in mind their office they changed every now and then to break compatibility with FOSS office, afaik this is not the only thing they did like that, but support for running old software usually was decent, true

A bit ironic when Microsoft struggles because someone else keep breaking compatibility. Although I would prefer it to keep trying because that would have been more choice and competition in the mobile OS land

competitor being so unimportant they can’t give things away

What?

Besides, I think part of the issue is that you argue with different people as if they were the same people

Good point, I wonder if elasticity of demand will be affected by the AI bubble bursting (I expect there will be a recession and demand will get less elastic, bit I’m no economist)

I still think there is some communication issue, but I re-read your original comment and I am quite lost about what your point was: you say Valve is monopoly BUT it’s not evil (from another thread you linked) and you don’t propose to dismantle it. So, what should the readers do with the newly acquired knowledge?

If you want to warn, then warn directly, if you want to call to action, do so. If you want people to just think for themselves, you will get nothing except people thinking you fail to make a point and arguing with you because they came up with that result by thinking for themselves

Yeah, I can’t answer your question either, because I find it may be either hard or impossible to come up with an answer
