In top down orgs, no product manager care would blink a the at wasting time on security.

This is why we need to remove incompetent product managers that have no clue and somehow are in the position to control what developers can work on.

This is a clone of Amezmo, which started in 2019.

I see they ripped off every feature that we innovated.

It’s actually quite flattering.

Why does a terminal need an SSH integration. Answer: it doesn’t and you shouldn’t use this because it is unsafe.

I bought AirPods Pro this year and it has been disappointing compared to the first gen non pro I had previously.

Somehow they fall out of my if i adjust my head down.

Battery life is good though

Finally. VScode is a landing zone for malicious extensions.

I would imagine this is due to a Product manager vetoing time spent on Security Considerations.

Someone needs to get fired over this. Probably an incompetent, non technical Product VP

In my experience, Product is always the first one to suggest cutting corners.

Not getting time to do security because we need to ship v1 is a decision called by Product

I would bet that a developer knew of the security issues, but was vetoed by Product.

I hope FTC gets DirectTV next -- which also fails to adequately disclose to consumers that by signing up for a subscription your're agreeing to a 2 year contract.

the roads in areas of Rio Grande do Sul became river. Many people are displaced. The water flooded houses and many people died from the effects of water and electricity.

Likely, this will be illegal, especially if users aren't aware their screens are being recorded. Furthermore that screenshots of activity are stored in the Azure cloud.

Developers building it are probably thinking about Security Considerations, but are getting pushback from product managers. So data leak is imminent.
