<remiliascarlet> SiFuh: Why won't they just bring a flamethrower with them if they fail at making a camp fire?
<SiFuh> remiliascarlet: That's a weird question

<dlcusa> El Reg sidebarred this quote about ToolShell: "We're fairly certain it's for once acceptable to call this a close-to-worst-case scenario." https://www.theregister.com/2025/07/21/massive_security_snafu_microsoft/

<dlcusa> And they post something related about the "many eyeballs" concept: https://forums.theregister.com/forum/all/2025/07/22/open_source_windows_security_opinion_column/ with good comments so far...
<remiliascarlet> dlcusa: "The US government is far too busy these days with other, more important business — like slashing America's cyber defenders and trying to distance President Trump from his good, now-deceased buddy and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein." Is that article supposed to be about a Microsoft exploit, or a case of TDS?
<remiliascarlet> This is what I hate about The Register; they always tend to force politics into technology related articles for no reason whatsoever.
<dlcusa> I do not agree with everything everyone writes and/or publishes--does anyone? I am not an El Reg editor, and I believe MS bought it a while back. That articles like this are still published is an enigma to me.
<remiliascarlet> My point isn't to disagree with the writer, my point is that they once again unnecessarily stuffed something completely offtopic into a tech related article.
<remiliascarlet> That alone says a lot about the mental stability of the author.
<remiliascarlet> "Oh no, Microsoft got under attack, of and REEE ORANGE MAN BAD!!"
<dlcusa> That might not have been in the original submission.
<dlcusa> I think you're not disputing the core points of the articles.
<remiliascarlet> I don't.
<remiliascarlet> It's just that whenever I see politics in a tech, gaming, or whatever else (fashion, sports, nature, nutrition, whatever else you want) for no reason, I just can't help but cringe at the author of the article.
<dlcusa> Me, too, but I keep digging for the meat.
<dlcusa> I've always gotten a kick about what Heinlein wrote in "Stranger in a Strange Land" speaking for himself through poet Jubal Harshaw about editors' "improvements" and that what he wrote made it into the book.
<SiFuh> I don't know about y'all but I believe this was done delibrately.
<SiFuh> I bet that fake AI shit was used to run the scan and initate hundreds of different backdoors into many servers to access subnets and to trawl for data which AI can then use for nefarious intentions. So I would not be surprised if the US deep state, Israel or even China were responsible.
<SiFuh> Or even if they worked together on it

<dlcusa> Unfortunately we have arrived at the point where this cannot be ruled out of hand. If it's possible, it's probably probable.
<dlcusa> Extract from SiaSL: https://dpaste.com/7SSG2BNWT (for SiFuh who doesn't read fiction) ;-)
<SiFuh> I don't get it
<dlcusa> I'll explain later, afk...

<dlcusa> SiFuh, it's in relationship to my 14:59:06 comment. Jubal is (among other things) a popular writer of prose and poetry who's starting to feel old. Anne is one of his secretaries who just took his dictation (Jubal is old school) of a poem. Is that sufficient explanation?
<SiFuh> I guess
<SiFuh> Going to watch Alone Germany. Alone UK was full of pussies. Everyone tapped out within 34 days. They all sucked at survival
<SiFuh> dlcusa: Hehe the German guy is in Canada and when he goes to shout at the bear he shouts at it in English. Heh
