Would the disaster have been prevented if there was no code signing? Or are you arguing that Microsoft should scrutinize code even harder?

Microsoft isn’t scrutinizing this code, at all, right? It’s not like they’re doing code reviews of every vendor that does code signing in Windows.

Not code reviews but the driver is tested

Really? Is this the future of developers to just blindly trust a statistical text generator?

It's cool that you know how to ask a question on ChatGPT. But don't share it as if it's the truth on an obscure, halluncinable factoid.

Added links to answer, they tell that drivers must be signed and tested by microsoft, the WHQL is part of that. Ability to do other way deprecated in 2021.

As far as I can tell you just asked it a question then posted its response as if you expected it to be fact.

If that isn't blind trust, I don't know what is.
