If only there was a mental concept of doing things correctly the first time. At the very worst manageable.

I understand your comment but I am tired of babysitting people to have some “cop on” and it is just getting worse. I’m a bit despondent.

Edit: I try very hard to see others point of view, I’m starting to worry

Oh if I had a euro everytime someone claimed that.

No argument from me, but what would you have them do in the immediate timeframe ?

I don't personally buy that, they offer a package manager in the form of nuget for example, if their products there are compromised, they're well withing normal reach to block THEIR packages, but why would they need to block the rest ?

Maybe I'm missing something dumb

Then, which I find the most amusing, proceeds to blame MicroSlop for the attempted suuply chain attack,

> Microsoft did not immediately provide the specific number of customers affected, when asked by TechCrunch.

Yeah, because that's how open source works. Tech crunch doing hard work no not explain that.

> This is Microsoft’s second known breach over the past few weeks that has allowed hackers to compromise its open source projects, per Ars Technica.

I, like many others love to knock on Microslop when I can, but in this case they did the right thing. The article phrases it like they did everything wrong, they're all at fault and shame on them for limiting the breach.

This is not the first time I've seen an article from Zack Whittaker that just rubbed me the wrong way.

> steal passwords of AI developers

This phrasing has it's own connotations. AI developers versus developers who use AI?

> This is the latest example in recent months of hackers breaching widely popular open source projects with the aim of planting malware on a large number of users who have the code installed on their computers. These hacks are known as “supply chain” attacks as they target code that is often used in a large number of software products, or by a specific kind of user, which may be advantageous to hack as they sometimes have access to cloud systems and large amounts of customers’ data.

Describes literally nothing of what a supply chain attack is, just the result of one and the reasons for their attack surface.

Very very bad reporting in my opinion. Bad breach, and I hate to admit M$ did the safe and right thing, but this 'reporting' leaves a lot to be desired.

> Siri AI coming in English later this year.

Strange way to phrase it, but okay.

> Siri AI will be available In beta later this year and requires an Apple Intelligence–enabled device set to a supported language. Available in English to start. Siri AI will not initially be available in the EU on iOS and iPadOS.

Ah okay, not EU enabled. The only reason for this, in my tinfoil hat, must be for data farming.

Having git tied to a one drive folder is diabolical. We might aswell move back to SVN at that stage.

For enterprise companies, ones I've worked in at least, they will auto sync the users folder /c/Users/(name) with one drive, but there is some weird alternative they have to set on the windows system to actually use a workspace for the user.

So when I'm on site somewhere, and have no access to a network that's safe, I can't access files that are in my documents folder, pictures or desktop.. when I never asked OneDrive to lift and shift my days off my machine.

I've had the guys turn off one drive explicitly on my machine several times but it keeps reactivating itself as soon as I sign back into the AD.

They can't figure it out, I can't trust it, and the company pays for it.

It sounded like it really could have been a backdoor, that was complicated enough to not be an easy replacement to roll out without being detected, so Microslop tried to shut down the discovery as soon as possible, annoyed the wrong researcher and now they're at risk of really having to remove their back door to an administration that is not exactly understanding.
