Who was he talking to? That person in the background did not sound fit to be a caretaker.

Daniel pretty much did that in his last video before death.

You were ignorant before.

It's really sad. His loss is felt immediately. He had an ongoing positive impact on the world.

It was almost certainly suicide.

Realistically the only thing that should be on the open internet is SSH, and even that should be filtered/whitelisted.

Assumably the people who chose Microsoft don't a firm grasp on how to manage a secure system, and their leaky skillset obviously include keeping patches up to date (and apparently managing a firewall is hard for them, too).

You would think so, but apparently not, since the Ukraine power plant is still standing.

The negligence will be the result of Microsoft not using proper security procedures (they don't), or not spending enough time looking for bugs when they know they are there (they do know it).

This is your fault. You are using a fuzzy definition of "secure." Once "secure" is well enough defined, then you can make the software 100% secure, it's just a matter of money. For example, you can be 100% sure that your code has no SQL injection bugs. You can be 100% sure that your code has no memory errors of certain classes (by using Rust). Using Rust is definitely not my preferred solution, but it IS a solution if you want to go that way.

Yeah, that's not Microsoft. Updates should be going through a secure SSH tunnel, at a minimum, not through Sharepoint.

They do not. This is so false in fact, I think you are either drunk, or intentionally lying.

Foundation is my life coach. HHGTTG is my bucket list.

It's really not clear at all what you mean by this.

CRISPR is the biology version of a chatbot: so tantalizingly close, yet so far away...

Linux is the most common operating system around (Android). BSD is right after (iOS). Windows is a distant third.

As for GNU/Linux (not Android), most people who use it, use it for real work. It's a programmer's OS.

CompTIA: another for the list of, "I can't believe that company is still around."
