Sorry but I don't quite understand your comment. What do the chemical underpinnings of evolution have to do with AGI?

It's freely available in the Windows 10 store as "WinDbg Preview". I recall reading somewhere that they will be rolling it into the Windows SDK once the preview is complete. WinDbg can work with managed code through…
I think the more interesting question would be, how much data do they retain on you if you close your account?

I don't see what other response he could have reasonably expected from Microsoft, given that his complaints were about the iOS Exchange connector, and actually had nothing to do with Exchange Server.
Before Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V to copy and paste, the usual method was Ctrl+Ins and Shift+Ins (and Shift+Del for cut), so this key did have a lot of use back in the day. These key combinations still work in most Windows…
Such hideously wasteful extravagance, and how sad that these people who are already absurdly rich are still greedy for more.
The post-fork canary value could be paired with the stack pointer at which it became valid. If not valid, the process could walk a linked list of pre-fork canary and stack pointer pairs, to find the correct value to…
Perhaps OpenBSD should consider randomizing the per-process stack canary value upon fork().
A sensible business decision by Cloudflare, and a fine moral stand to take. There is nothing positive to be gained by servicing such neo-Nazi websites, and Cloudflare is under no obligation to keep them as customers.…
If it works inside a VM, an attacker could potentially cause a widespread denial of service on cloud computing platforms like Azure and AWS.
One exception may be if you could steal an authenticated pointer to a buffer that's about to have some generated machine code written to it (e.g. for JIT execution), and use that to write your own arbitrary code instead.
The exploits were released yesterday and the linked article says they have all been patched.
It was patched last month, so how is it a zero day when these exploits were released yesterday?
Room 641A wasn't a software vulnerability trying to hide in plain sight, it was a secret network tap.
That's just an insinuation of conspiracy with no evidence whatsoever behind it. The more believable alternative is that developers simply make mistakes now and then.
This idea that Microsoft is deliberately introducing bugs into its software so nation states can exploit them is so absurd, it really is tinfoil hat conspiracy theory ludicrousness.
Nice to see that these weren't zero day exploits after all, despite the claims being spread over Twitter. Looks like some amateur security researchers forgot to patch their test VMs.
Once a patch is released, it's generally quite straightforward to compare before and after, reverse engineering it to find the vulnerability. So the general advice is always to patch as soon as possible.
The provenance of these exploits is irrelevant to whether or not their products have been patched, so why would they?
How do you know it's the same bug?
