If you click through to see what is happening, they are being directed to copy/paste some text into a command prompt - I assume the troubleshooting website is some official looking page that describes how to repair the issue. The text has a series of innocuous commands that may appear to be legit to a naive user but there is a command, buried in the middle, to download and run the malware - in the linked page, the Mac version used curl piped to zsh and the Windows version used mshta.

They simulated audio issues and then directed the victim to go to a website which had them copy/paste text into a shell that included a command to downloaded/install the malware.

Because they're looking to go public and they want to manage issues that their auditors flagged potentially limiting.

I'm pretty sure he ported it from the source of DEC BASIC-PLUS on the PDP-10 that he and Allen were using.

It was also proprietary to the SqueezeBox until 2014.

AirPlay was first introduced in 2010 and was an expansion to AirTunes which was introduced in 2004. Miracast didn't come out until 2012. Google Cast, which is a proprietary protocol, didn't come out until 2013 and, as far as I know, Google now supports it instead of Miracast.

An A3000UX is in the top tier for collectors.

So you are saying that you thought about the implementation details of what most have identified as a derivative of DEC BASIC-PLUS before you had access to a PDP. You also once said that there was a "Chinese wall" between the app and OS divisions at Microsoft.

I am referring to the belief that Intel was going to have diminishing returns pushing the x86 CISC ISA beyond the Pentium regardless of any extensions made to it. From a mid-90's perspective, x86 was a dead-end and there were even people at Intel who thought the same way.

I'll agree with ccident/luck and lies but I don't think their manufacturing has been considered superior since the early 80s and they weren't that big back then. The CPU design isn't good but they have done remarkably well at extending the x86 CISC ISA beyond what anybody thought was possible.

The memory on Apple silicon is on-package, not soldered to the motherboard. Trying to move all of the different stages of the memory hierarchy closer to the CPU is how computer engineering has been solving the performance disparity for the past 30 years. Without a major revolution in memory performance, the future will likely have memory on-die.

I don't think the recommendation algorithms work that well. I suspect it is due to the flood of data they now have and more data isn't going to fix it.

The old app was single entry and worked like a single entry calculator. The new app is algebraic entry and works like an algebraic entry calculator.

Your example is for algebraic entry but I don't think I've ever seen an algebraic that supports C, only AC and backspace. I looked at all of my Casios, Sharps, TIs, and HPs and none of them support it. Can you provide an example that does?

Sounds likes Judge Engelmayer isn't familiar with things like HIPAA and certifications like HITRUST and SOC-2 because most of those listed ramifications are covered by them, SolarWinds had those certifications and would have already been required to follow them.

When Howard Schmidt was asked about his time as security chief at Microsoft, having been named special adviser for cyberspace security to the White House by Bush, he said security was a top priority there. A couple of years later, Gates announced that Microsoft never viewed security as a priority and announced the entire company was going to drop their regular duties and spend a month on security training.
