It's been a decade and a half. Just because a person knows how to compile a kernel doesn't mean they can't also be a Luddite at the same time.

Well that escalated quickly.
The right way to do this is to hire a group of developers and have test volunteers report workflow problems - then FIX them - then iterate. That's the point of choosing an open source solution.
Eventually there would be no problems remaining.
But so many possible scenarios exist that it's impossible to guess what happened here.

There are apparently other unpatched vulnerabilities that are known but 'too busy':
It sounds like this fix got done because it was 'accidentally' posted as a public PR.
Yeah, the threat actor would need a foothold on the PXE network, which is a private VLAN (or better) in the competent case.
That's why we worry about APT's and such.
Granted, you'll find people on certain cloud providers who do far too much on a public IP.
They use TSMC and Samsung, so South Korea, Taiwan, or, theoretically, the US.
Components sourced from U.S. and allied-country suppliers account for more than 90% of the BlueChip prototypes’ component procurement cost.
Both South Korea and Taiwan are US allies.
The more interesting question is what are the 10% that they aren't sourcing from allies?
Apple uses on-device AI for lots of things that are not chatbots. Video, audio and image processing can be computationally intensive with fairly small models.
I'm sure that someone is running an AI agent on Office right now. Word and Excel are the real enemies of switching.
Simply stating: We Do Not Accept DOCx or XLSx formats, forces compliance. Since MS can produce ODF (allegedly), that's how you get compliance.
Excel isn't done until the macros won't run (on anything else).
My father in law used to do design work in Excel. No kidding. He claimed Publisher et al didn't give him the precision he wanted, or something like that. It was amazing what he could put together in Excel.
The main things are to:
- disable all video autoplay. (not just sound, but all)
I've made a page to let you test whether you've actually disabled all video autoplay. "De finibus" has a conventional video, a conventional animated GIF, and a motion JPEG presented as a filmstrip animated with CSS. What does and doesn't play for you?
As a fellow NESdev member, I've identified several reasons why a lot of people have migrated from forums to Discord or other proprietary chat.
- Registration friction. People register for forums and never get their signup confirmation because their email provider misclassified the confirmation message as spam and dropped it without notification. Or they don't get their signup confirmation for days or weeks because the person responsible for manually approving new members is working through a backlog or on vacation.
- People feel compelled to type longer, more detailed posts in a forum than in a chat room. That's fine on a desktop or laptop computer but not so practical on the on-screen of a mobile phone.
- Notification friction. It took seven years after Chrome and Firefox added support for the Push API before Apple did. As Alex Russell put it, "progress delayed is progress denied." Email notifications run the same risk of getting mistakenly dropped as spam.
- People expect to upload and watch video related to a post. Discord allows even free users 20 MB per attachment, enough to post a short video of a game that people can watch before downloading and running it. Forums tend to impose attachment size limits that haven't been reviewed in the years since the forum was established, often on the order of 2 to 4 MB, as well as limits on what media types are usable.
- People don't want their wording mistakes publicly indexed on Google and Bing and then archived indefinitely as "receipts" for use in later cyberbullying or cancellation campaigns against them.
