Remember the old adage, embrace, extend, extinguish.
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.
Re:Bypassing regulatory locks, hacking AirPods and Faraday cages on Wednesday November 13, 2024 @04:44AM (#42124512)
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.
Re:TeamViewer Security Breach on Thursday June 27, 2024 @06:12PM (#40815743)
I would imagine this is due to a Product manager vetoing time spent on Security Considerations.
The political capital class protects their own. They have incentives to decrease power of IRS.
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.
This video is horrible. The language of the background people is obscene. Please do not share garbage on this forum.
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.

Zuck is still My hero
You don't seem to realize the Amazon and Rio Grande do Sul are on opposite sides of the country.
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.

Re:Ask HN: AWS SES Denial on Thursday May 16, 2024 @11:54AM (#40379850)
Sounds spammy to me. You don't seem to have a product, but you're collecting emails, presumably without an actual product, but a preview of a product that doesn't exist yet? Do you have a tangible product today?
Likely because implementing it securely and correctly costs development time.
I had purchased Fusion Pro recently due to the better graphics support in comparison to VirtualBox. I wonder what the catch is here.
Sounds like your a non tech co founder?

I wonder if this has anything to do with Musk visiting China last week.
Re:Mastodon forms new U.S. non-profit on Saturday April 27, 2024 @11:28AM (#40180725)
A "non profit" with a for profit parent company or associated entity. We need to reform the non profit laws and go after all these criminals.

when is the stripe IPO?
Re:A Weird CPIO Discrepancy on Sunday December 31, 2023 @11:38AM (#38825262)
Instead of an arbitrary octet-stream link, I would highly recommend hosting your bad cpio archive on GitHub. A `hexdump -C` would be preferred.
