In our brave new corporate controlled world adds will be inserted everywhere (and all your data belong to them -- you are automatically opted in, and probably cannot really opt out).

The attacker did release updated versions but your other comment suggests you already realized that but I'll explain for anyone else.

They removed the hacked versions and rolled the project version back to the good version. I'm saying they should increment the version number of the clean version to be higher than the hacked versions so the systems which had already installed the compromised packages will recognize the clean version as newer and having priority over the hacked one. In some cases automatic updates might even cause the hacked version to be replaced with a clean one automatically.

The desire to 'detect' an attack [or at least that they were temporarily vulnerable so they can look for one] is the only case for not doing that which I can think of. My contention is that minimizing the window of vulnerability at scale is more critical, anyone who is looking to see if they were running the vulnerable version is exactly the level of informed they'd need to be know to look at logs which indicate they HAD been running the vulnerable version. The vast majority probably aren't informed and won't check anything and they'll sit vulnerable until the compromise triggers some kind of alarm or the version number finally organically increments over what the attacker used.

No drug necessary.

The Underlying issue is: Why are some people depressed?

If we understand that, it is very likely that no drug will be necessary. People won't become depressed.

Windows is crashing because users are doing things that cause crashes.

This issue needs to be investigated in MUCH more detail.

I don't have crashes.

Otherwise systems won't automatically treat the clean release as newer and replace the contaminated ones.

"So deepfake porn of people without their consent, and without adequate regard of age."

Without regard for age would be illegal content so that would be blocked. As for deepfakes... they are fake and therefore the person they look similar to has no more claim than to images of any of the thousands of similar looking people walking around. I see no reason they need to have an 'erotic mode' but for adult users adult content and other perfectly legal content should not be blocked. In fact, generally speaking the company shouldn't be liable for what people do with the service anyway but also required to operate as a common carriers without imposing THEIR interpretations of morality or law upon the third parties using the service.

This technology is about 0.0001% technology and the rest is data which doesn't belong to these tech companies. I actually think that is fine as long as the models are open and have at least two unrestricted implementations available [or can be readily run by consumers] and their output is exempt from copyright on its own [the output is considered a format shift of the prompt(s)].

You're such a pussy. I've been thrown against a car, roughly frisked and told in "clear terms" at the top of his voice if I moved he'd beat my ass. Why? Because I matched the general description of someone who had broken into a nearby home, roughed up the residents and stole their shit and he was calling me in.

It was night time on my regular walk through a nice residential neighborhood. When he confirmed I wasn't the guy and some other cops had the right guy 2 blocks away, he only said, "you're not who I'm looking for, you can go" and he left. End of story.

I finished my walk and went home. Just another night.

Only pussies like you cry like a bitch about a cop telling them to move their illegally parked car. That's all that would have happened if the cop showed at the museum for the bitchy rent a cop. I told you, pussy, I lived in some really rough places. Getting shoved around by a cop was the least of my fears. It was just another Tuesday.

You silly little silver spooned white guys. Such a pussy you post your dumb shit AC.

Or if everyone was armed then the more likely scenario than everyone in the area opening fire like some 80s Hong Kong mob movie is they would've dropped/hid or run screaming the moment they saw a gun or heard a gun shot.

Having lived in some really bad places, I know first hand that's what people do. Real life is not a Hong Kong action movie.

If the attacker and taxi victims all had guns, then the whole thing would've been over in seconds after anyone pulled a firearm.

Are you a script writer? Maybe write fiction as a hobby? Your version would make for a better movie than what would really happen. You should flesh it out and submit your script. I love those old HK over the top super action films; I'd watch your movie.

This is San Francisco. In this case the article does say the cops eventually showed which is very surprising for San Francisco.

The last time I was in the city and got into it with some rent a cop about where I parked, he threatened to call the cops. I told him to "go ahead, I'll be here another 20 minutes and we both know they won't show before I'm gone, if they show at all". He walked away. I left 30 minutes later.

No cops, of course.

In some other nearby cities it's a reasonable expectation that local PD will show for anything in 5-10 minutes but not SF. Just not realistic to expect a cop to show up in SF for anything minor like a psycho being egged on by a psycho crowd as he tries to break into a car to murder the passengers.

And for the record, I was waiting after hours in the back area loading/unloading zone for large trucks at SF Moma which is down a back alley side street and wasn't in the way of anything and easily could have moved out of the way if a truck did show up. Lillie rent a cop girl came out to harass me first then she sent huge rent a cop guy. Seriously, fuck off, it's SF, what are you really gunna do? That's just how it is in ugly uncivilized cities like that.

If that wasn't some tech bro robo taxi I doubt the cops would've showed up at all. Not in SF for little people.

Oh, now THIS is true irony because when I made this account I was -specifically- thinking of you.

There are a lot of stupid people here but you stand out as so special in dumbness I made a new account in your dishonor.

I am a stupid fuck and dumb as shit but I am still way smarter than you.

Welcome to slashdot, ruled by the Dunning Kruger crowd suffocating in their echo chamber of idiocy.

It was not. This is slashdot. Far dumber things get posted everyday in complete seriousness. You can't cover for him with "just kidding!". He believes in blimp wars.

I mostly come to slashdot to get the absolutely most stupid take on topics of interest to me.

Congratulations on your truly brilliant analysis! According to you we will soon be sending numerous blimps to hover over Cuban solar farms. That is waaaay funnier and more festive than the typical boring/repetitive slashdot moron who can't help but put "La Presidenta" in the first sentence of every post.

Mostly slashdot has turned into anti-western propaganda created by Putin/Russia and in more recent years by 50 cent per post wolf warriors like everyone's favorite Singaporean who pretends to be American even though everyone has known for years he isn't. The same dumb crap an AI could easily generate as the same copy/paste on every article.

But this blimp thing? That takes real American know-how, a sense of humor, and the kind of illogic and ignorance only a drunk public school educated American can come up with! Your post makes me proud to be an American, fighting the good fight as you are against AI generated Chinese propaganda slop posts on slashdot. You are truly helping to make America great again! You are true MAGA running deep down into your soul!

I hope to see Congress allocate a few billion to war blimps. Who needs another giant aircraft carrier or 6th gen fighters when you got those fabulous battle blimps?

Oh and you post with excellent karma +1 bonus. Totally makes sense for slashdot.
