If you disable it you can prevent Microsoft from force updating your windows 10 install to windows 11. Obviously a play to get people to buy new hardware for 11 but a useful anti feature I suppose until you can stomach switching to Linux.

If only the AI shit being crammed down our throats included confidence scores
Unless you’re expecting a third game in a series.
a fine is a price.
It’s the ISP cutting the Ethernet by opposing net neutrality so they can force you to use their overpriced cable TV service. An inverted mockery of the traditional “cord cutting”, just as the image depicts.
The thing exact thing Squid Game is satirizing resembles Squid Game? I’m shocked.
how is it an experiment to restore things to the way they used to be? pretty sure we already know how it works out.
I imagine if this attacker wasn’t in a rush to get the backdoor into the upcoming Debian and Fedora stable releases he would have been able to notice and correct the increased CPU usage tell and remain undetected.
I think ideas about prevention should be more concerned with the social engineering aspect of this attack. The code itself is certainly cleverly hidden, but any bad actor who gains the kind of access as Jia did could likely pull off something similar without duplicating their specific method or technique.
as long as you’re up to date on everything here: https://boehs.org/node/everything-i-know-about-the-xz-backdoor
the only additional thing i’ve seen noted is a possibilty that they were using Arch based on investigation of the tarball that they provided to distro maintainers
I don’t foresee anyone with the kind of data needed to do more investigation releasing it to the public, so I doubt we’re going to be getting any satisfying answers to this. Microsoft may have an internal team combing through github logs, but if they find anything they’re unlikely to be sharing it with anyone but law enforcement agencies.
we know about the singapore VPN because they connected to IRC on libera chat with it. the only reason I can think people would believe they’re from hong kong is because of the pseudonym they used, but it’s not like that proves anything.
see link posted in another user’s reply: https://boehs.org/node/everything-i-know-about-the-xz-backdoor#irc
he was using a singapore VPN and had access to multiple sockpuppets. we know literally nothing else about them and anything you’ve heard to the contrary is baseless rumor.
leading theory is that it was a state-sponsored actor, but frankly even that much is speculation and which state is still way up in the air.
if you feel comfortable mucking about in your BIOS, disabling TPM will pretty much guarantee they don’t spring 11 on you. they are really dead set on that requirement for some reason.
i also remember having the cube around the same time in OSX somehow but I forget the method
Non invasive BCI capable of the exact stuff neuralink has demonstrated has existed for a while and its probably a much more viable way to help the disabled than cramming chips into their head.
fake is just an easy way to communicate the idea without going into a bunch of complex color terminology. extra-spectral is a name for them if you really want to split hairs about it. which includes both impossible and imaginary (which are also described as fictitious).
There are humans with a fourth color receptor in their eyes who may have a wider color range than your average person. Women only though, sorry boys.
If all your sponsors and business partners immediately flee you at mach speed over what you sent to that kid, it was certainly well past “inappropriate”
