For anyone else wanting to look it up
we could see other PSU makers follow suit in switching to Cybenetics
It would certainly be great if all did. But I doubt that will be the case.
Only the best have an interest in switching.
But maybe that’s good enough for now. The PSU market has a good number of alternative manufacturers, and those that care will drive demand for this information. Maybe those targeting the enthusiast market won’t be able to get around providing it.
Its still the same extension, same source code, same logic, just less capable
the same… but not the same… ??
I think the technologies are quite different.
uBOL is entirely declarative, meaning there is no need for a permanent uBOL process for the filtering to occur, and CSS/JS injection-based content filtering is performed reliably by the browser itself rather than by the extension. This means that uBOL itself does not consume CPU/memory resources while content blocking is ongoing – uBOL’s service worker process is required only when you interact with the popup panel or the option pages.
Are you claiming non-lite does the same, plus more?
You say it’s the same source code, but it’s a different source code repository. non-lite, lite.
the most relevant:
To take advantage of the vulnerability, a hacker has to already possess access to a computer’s kernel, the core of its operating system.
For systems with certain faulty configurations in how a computer maker implemented AMD’s security feature known as Platform Secure Boot—which the researchers warn encompasses the large majority of the systems they tested—a malware infection installed via Sinkclose could be harder yet to detect or remediate, they say, surviving even a reinstallation of the operating system.
For users seeking to protect themselves, Nissim and Okupski say that for Windows machines—likely the vast majority of affected systems—they expect patches for Sinkclose to be integrated into updates shared by computer makers with Microsoft, who will roll them into future operating system updates.
notably
Windows is not impacted by this issue.
quoting the main, critical part:
- Under public domain (.com), the browser sent the request to 0.0.0.0.
- The dummy server is listening on 127.0.0.1 (only on the loopback interface, not on all network interfaces).
- The server on localhost receives the request, processes it, and sends the response.
- The browser blocks the response content from propagating to Javascript due to CORS.
This means public websites can access any open port on your host, without the ability to see the response.
It’s not the same kind of stealing as stealing an apple or meal. Those remove the product, the material in its entirety.
The only devaluation washing does is in wear. And even less directly in the initial investment not being paid back upon use.
That’s concerns outside of morals of course. But stealing products isnt equateable to stealing usage.
In 2011, a 75-year-old woman took all 2.9 million Armenians offline when she sliced through that cable with a spade near the Georgian village of Ksani. The woman, who was scavenging for copper at the time, was arrested but reportedly let go soon after because of her advanced age. She later told reporters: “I have no idea what the internet is.”
lol, what a great story
I think it’s still a net-positive.
After that author’s post (from 2020) Microsoft acknowledged and apologized the bad way they went about it. (IIRC anyway.)
It’s certainly a shitty situation for the author, with the PM opportunity at Microsoft not working out (reason unknown/not visible to us). The author can’t invest as MS can into their project. The author could continue, but obviously, it’s less “useful” now as a product, with a “better” alternative.
Having it be a Microsoft-maintained project gave and gives it a lot more impact and significance, both functionality-wise and public-/enterprise-wise. Having an official package manager like this is a very good thing.
And the author on the post you linked says as much in their post. They’re not upset about anything else other than the communication in regards to the hiring process he was not that interested in anyway. That’s not really “stealing”. Just superseding. With an aside shitty-communication.
Can you source your claim, that Azure hypervisor uses CrowdStrike? Because a Microsoft spokesperson told Ars that that issue was unrelated to the CrowdStrike update.
[…] cited as “a backend cluster management workflow [that] deployed a configuration change causing backend access to be blocked between a subset of Azure Storage clusters and compute resources in the Central US region.”
A spokesperson for Microsoft told Ars in a statement Friday that the CrowdStrike update was not related to its July 18 Azure outage. “That issue has fully recovered,” the statement read.
Microsoft services were, in a seemingly terrible coincidence, also down overnight Thursday into Friday. […]

They were not “using it”. And there’s no “stragglers still”.
as of 2021, Valve employed just 79 people for Steam, which is one of the most influential gaming storefronts on the planet.
There’s value in stability, but some things have long been stagnant and could be improved. It took a long time for the client and website to get some significant changes.
I don’t know if I would prefer more changes. I certainly would like and want some. But that could inevitably lead to undesirable changes too.
When I applied for a job there over a decade ago [to improve some stuff myself] I didn’t receive an answer.
It’s crazy that you can read the individual attackers names (in the linked referenced other page), visit their social media profiles, see their happy family pictures, while they’re out there shelling other people and families.
And then you see even stuff like
- mother, on June 28, 2022, a day after the terrorist attack in Kremenchuk, reposted a post about “The Deadliest Plane - TU-22m3.” Missiles from such a plane hit the Amstor shopping mall;
Insane.
Putin, Trump, and Musk. They’re doing the same thing. Lying without restraint, freely, at every opportunity.
"The European Commission offered X an illegal secret deal: If we quietly censored speech without telling anyone, they would not fine us.
Maybe we can translate that claim to what may have happened?
“The European Commission asked X to conform to regulation protecting its citizens or face fines.”
it’s not hard to find them when they’re selling fake reviews as a service
The article teaser beginning should make that clear as well
