There's no chance in hell Vance knows what that phrase means

Oracle happened to it

All the devs went to LibreOffice after that

I wasn't trying to give a positive side, I was just explaining why Microsoft wants the feature

If the executable binary has to be signed with a key, similar to the module signing key, Microsoft could sign their binaries

This, along with secureboot, would prevent the owner of the machine from running eBPF programs Microsoft doesn't want you to run, even with root

I agree, but the wording of that is imprecise...

Google reimplemented the same API (which should be legal) but "use" sounds like they called Oracle's implementation of the function

Oracle tried to argue that writing your own virtual machine with the exact same same interface as theirs (even a clean room reimplementatio, or an improved version) was copyright infringement

If Oracle had won, it would likely have killed things like OpenJDK, WINE, Proton, Rosetta, etc. and would have made licensing around OpenGL/Vulkan very confusing (for a few examples)

Kind of seems like they simply installed this dude's tarpit from a few months ago

Where did Microsoft put an official announcement saying the statement from an official Microsoft employee, Jerry Nixon, speaking at an official Microsoft conference, Ignite, was incorrect?

Edit:

When reached for comment, [Microsoft] didn't dismiss them at all

Recent comments at Ignite about Windows 10 are reflective of the way Windows will be delivered

Yes, in the sense that every device you own has these same commands

The alarmist of the original was that this was somehow unique to the esp32

If your device has Bluetooth, it has these commands

I agree, but unfortunately, this has become common since Heartbleed, and they seem to be able to sell their snake oil to CTOs...

I think the bigger complaint is that, when Galaxy was released, GOG said (back in 2015)

A Linux version of our client is planned eventually ... Stay tuned for future announcements

Ten years is plenty of time to implement a launcher, or at least give a planned timeline

Sure, third parties have done it with Heroic, etc. but promising support and not delivering leaves a really bad taste to me

The article is a security company trying to hype their company with a theoretical attack that currently has no hypothetical way to be abused

The article has an update now fixing the wording to "hidden feature" but, spoilers, every BT device has vendor specific commands.

The documentation of the part just wasn't complete and this companies "fuzzing" tool found some vendor commands that weren't in the data sheet

The China part just came from OP

If they're being shared as disk images, basically every Blu-Ray has an embedded Java program, also
