TORFdot0 , to technology in Microsoft in damage-control mode, says it will prioritize security over AI

I mean you can provide audit findings and results and it’s a pretty big part of vendor management and due diligence but at some point you have to accept risk in using open source software that can be susceptible to supply chain hacks, might be poorly maintained, etc or accept the risk of taking the closed source company’s documentation at face value (and that can also be poorly maintained and susceptible to supply chain attacks)

There’s got to be some level of risk tolerance to do business and open source doesn’t actually reduce risk. But it can at least reduce enshittification

TORFdot0 , to asklemmy in What's the dumbest blockbuster movie you have seen that somehow received high praise?

The hype was for its star studded cast. The movie itself was also a chuckle but was really obvious for its critique and satire.

TORFdot0 , to technology in All three game console makers, Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony, have now abandoned X (formerly Twitter) integration

They all have ways to send screenshots to the mobile apps if I’m not mistaken and with Twitter jacking up API prices since Elon took over, it makes perfect sense just to discontinue support

TORFdot0 , to asklemmy in How does it feel being in a relationship?

Dude, consider getting therapy. You need to learn to love yourself first

TORFdot0 , to asklemmy in Do you prefer Reddit or Lemmy?

An open source algorithm that the user base can see and understand how it works is different than a closed source algorithm that serves to benefit advertisers more than users

TORFdot0 , to asklemmy in What jobs were you horrified to learn are done by people with little to no experience or training?

Magistrate Judges can be literally anyone in the US

TORFdot0 , to asklemmy in Are you a 'tankie'

NO, I’m also not from this instance for similar reasons

TORFdot0 , to technology in Microsoft has blocked the bypass that allowed you to create a local account during Windows 11 setup by typing in a blocked email address

I just set up new PC for my grandparents that I imaged myself using the latest windows 11 iso from MS. It wouldn’t let me bypass the account require when I was offline. It just stalled at the “no network” screen and wouldn’t continue unless I connected the PC to a network.

I had to use the OOBE/BYPASSNRO or whatever the command was

TORFdot0 , to selfhosted in Why You Should Self-Host Everything

If you self-host all the same services you have the same exposure level if root on your hosting machine is compromised. I suppose it depends on how confident you feel in how agile you can patch if a vulnerability becomes known in postfix for example. I wouldn’t consider self hosting something that reduces your cybersecurity risk typically

TORFdot0 , to technology in Linus Tech Tips (LTT) release investigation results on former accusations

Who would be paying for an investigation if not LMG? Firms don’t hire auditors/investigators to give them a rosy report. They want the truth so they can adjust their processes so they don’t spend more money on regulatory actions/fines.

If the report is bad they just don’t release it to the public. But a third party audit lying to a firm to make them look good does not provide value. The company isn’t biased just because they are being paid by LMG, that’s just not how it works. LMG could just say they investigated themselves and found no wrong doing if that was their objective.

Saying that you don’t believe the report because the company investigating it was paid for by PMG shows that you are biased more than they are.

TORFdot0 , to games in Atari Acquires Intellivision Brand

Isn’t Tommy working for colecovision?

Edit: we have too many visions from the late 70s/early 80s

TORFdot0 , to retrogaming in After almost 28 years, Super Mario 64 has been beaten without using the A button

Has no one really done an RTA 70 star ABC before now?

I love the concept of this challenge, good on this lad for doing this, I thought most strats were TAS only.

TORFdot0 , to technology in California Resto Lets You Pay For Meal With Your Face: Payment Method May Be Available Nationwide Soon

Depending on the implementation it can be unreliable. More modern methods use 3D scans which can’t be fooled by a photo.
