CrowdStrike CEO has known failure but never like this

I'm torn on this for two reasons however.

First, I agree. Even today a lot of games have 'anti-cheat' modules that will hook into the kernel.

And yes, Microsoft wants to lock down the kernel as a result.

But, that is one step closer to the future from "The right to read".

The right to read? Can you elaborate?

Locking down kernels is somewhere in the story IIRC; it's just that instead of in the name of DRM it's now for Security... But as we've seen from stuff like the 'Web Attestation' proposal from last year, they'll take choice away whichever way is most marketable to lobbyists.

Thank you. I've done a thought experiment one day similar to that. As the lawmakers wanted to introduce a law that would render any software not obeying DRM illegal, I thought to create a notepad.exe program that would prevent you from printing if the !print preamble was present in the text document and prevent from copying text if !copy preamble. It would render all available text editing and viewing software illegal thus proving the law idiotic

TBH I think it would be a fun thing to do as an app to make a statement!
