@stacksofplates You mean this one.... that happened less than a year ago....

People's memories are short, how can they remember so far back?

Yup that one. And the whole Lenovo "rootkit" was because they have a way to allow manufacturers to bypass it, which in my mind is another example.

Do you guys like my T-shirt?

LOL, I definitely noticed it.

I hope it's not something most valuable on this video 🙂

OK, so a gateway (with acceleration, RDMA and integration to vCenter & SCVMM) for Ceph & GlusterFS is on the way.

I think that you have the wrong tool for the job. Others are correct, you just want a normal KVM install. Qubes is the wrong tool here.

@Tim_G said in Edge the Big Loser at Pwn2Own:

The most impressive exploit by far, and also a first for Pwn2Own, was a virtual machine escape through an Edge flaw by a security team from “360 Security.” The team leveraged a heap overflow bug in Edge, a type confusion in the Windows kernel, and an uninitialized buffer in VMware Workstation for a complete virtual machine escape.
The team hacked its way in via the Edge browser, through the guest Windows OS, through the VM, all the way to the host operating system. This impressive chained-exploit gained the 360 Security team $105,000.

I thought VMWare fixed the possibility of this from being possible? This is now the third time I've heard of VM escape on the VMWare platform.

I wonder who is tracking VM escape rates.

This all goes back to the CIA triangle. Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability. An attacker will try to compromise 1 of those 3 components.

@jhtech86 said in 3D Printed House:

These can easily be deployed in poor countries to print houses. The best part in my opinion is the lack of a need for any concrete. These machines can print houses with nothing but dirt and water. For those of you that want the machine to build bigger perfect homes complete with duct work, electrical, and wiring that might not sound great, but for homeless people in poverty stricken countries that's a win.

Concrete mix is a far cry form dirt and water.

My answer to the OP. I mean I am not saying MS is good or bad, or Linux OS's are good or bad. But the OP was just a whiny bitch.
