Because Microsoft isn’t responsible for every program that runs on their OS.
CrowdStrike is an EDR that enterprises choose to install. The bug was caused by a dodgy content bundle update, which is something that’s meant to be 100% safe but evidently they found and triggered a bug.
But, eventually exploitable is still a pretty major concern for anybody who has systems running longer than a few days at a time.
I think where valve went wrong was not requiring specific minimum specs. It led to a very inconsistent and hard to support platform.
Steam deck leading to a standard “steam device” hardware platform with consistent OS and hardware is my dream, but I know their goal thus far has been to refine steamos and release it for OEMs to use on their devices.
Classicube for that simple block-building itch
It was more common for commercial discs and some consumer discs to have the data layer sandwiched between the bottom surface and label layer, especially later in cd/dvd’s heyday, to prevent tiny scratches on the label or sharpie marks from destroying bits in the data layer.
Plex has been good to me but I grow ever more concerned that they will drop lifetime Plex pass features as they become more focused on being a provider of media and not just a streaming middleman.
Nintendo made no legal demands nor threatened to sue any involved party, their letter just formally requests that dolphin wouldn’t be published on steam.

My gut feeling is that that is apples entire game plan with the Vision Pro- seed an expensive version of the tech, then refine it with what they learned into something leaner and significantly cheaper.
I could be wrong, but given the current price point that’s my guess.
Imo launch day nms is more varied (in generated content, at least) with less loading screens (so you get to do the fun action of atmospheric flight -> space flight yourself) - starfield is better in other ways but the end result is I find nms more fun (even on the day 1 version)
They’re trying to make steam think they’re actually running osrs so it tracks their playtime. Steam doesn’t track playtime of nonsteam games.
Their point was that, on macOS, other browsers don’t use the safari engine under the hood like they do on iOS. That commonality is why the article states the exploit works in those browsers on iOS.
Steams solution is about as simple as it gets. Install steam on both devices (or the steam link app/ a physical steam link box), pair controller, log in, hit play.
I’ve seen so many jokes about the naming at this point that I’m pretty sure most folks making those jokes actually think Apple made an iPhone 15 pro plus max.
They’ve been so consistent with naming since the 12 it’s actually been rather nice vs other vendors.
I’ve pointed out in another comment that most of what she says are indicators of an incredibly toxic working environment, but I’d have to echo the sentiment that a good chunk of it is disgruntled, relatively inexperienced, employee grumbling.
Props on her for speaking up, though. Nothing changes if the status quo is toxicity and silence.
No, it’s realistic. If a manager at your workplace asks you to do something you don’t like, you say “I don’t want to do it”, and they insist - you push back. Is it toxic and stupid that they did that? Yes. But companies get away with this shit because people don’t push back.
Speaking up publicly after-the-fact is great too. It raises awareness and helps give a voice to people whose livelihood is tied up in a company they can’t stand to support due to toxic working conditions. It helps raise awareness to C-suite execs that there may be a managerial issue causing it. It’s a good step that some companies take in stride, and actually turn around to improve things. Time will tell if that’s the case here.
I don’t think calling LMG a pile of shit is very apologetic nor an indicator that I’m somebody who works there.
I also don’t think “management needs to do/should have done better” and “I hope she is doing something that brings joy” and “I hope she was able to pull good insight out of a shitty situation” is very victim blamey.
It’s hard to run a company, and maintain a positive working culture, but there’s no excuse if they continue to allow those kind of working conditions. Make no mistake, LMG sucks for how Madison was allowed to be treated (and most certainly others, see also in other comments I’ve made that it’s a systemic problem).
Not belittling the situation, toxic workplaces are horrible but they can become so very easily without conscience effort to prevent it. It’s clear that, at the very least, that effort hasn’t been made. I would hope Linus and the rest of upper mgmt don’t intend to normalize sexual harassment, verbal abuse, or threats- rather, they aren’t aware of the extent of it or are feeling upward pressure not to retaliate because they have so many toxic employees.
I’ve made it pretty clear in my message that I blame the company as a whole, and don’t think it’s one person. It’s a systemic issue. Company culture isn’t what you say, it’s what you tolerate, and they’re struggling to even maintain a decent public face.
To say I’m not surprised is not downplaying the situation. I’ve worked (and fought for coworkers, subordinates, and gotten several upper managers fired at) a few jobs where the culture was so horrible and hostile that our turnover rate was over 200% yoy. The writing generally is on the wall in these situations, and their writing was all the technical inaccuracies, sloppiness in content, and absolute negativity that has been displayed in some videos.
What I mean by my earlier message (which might be a hot take) is that the addition of fluff (intentional or otherwise) in otherwise perfectly valid criticism takes away some of the bite and gives fanboys room to speculate about the rest. Nobody should be forced to experience that kind of workplace, but hopefully lessons were learned on the affected party’s end that will help them avoid stepping in another pile of shit like lmg.
It’s a joke account
Lowe’s uses a customized Linux distro for their department terminal computers. Most of what you do is in browser or terminal applications, if genesis is still in use.
